My First Entry

My First Entry

The subject I most enjoy reading about is Economics because I like to see what gets effected in the economy, due to what society thinks is worth spending money on. My favorite hobby is performing in musical theater because I've been doing it since I was four years old, and it gives me a chance to escape reality. I can look at the world in a different point of view depending on what type of role I'm playing. If I won the lottery, I would put some money aside to ensure my college finances. I would also donate money to charities that have to do with cancer research because I lost several family members from it, and I know it is a very popular disease in America in this generation, unfortunately. The type of volunteer activity I prefer is one that doesn't just benefit my own morals, but others as well. For an example, every year my family and I volunteer at the Special Olympics. This makes my family and I proud that we are helping others, yet it makes the contestants feel good knowing people are there supporting and encouraging their efforts. My favorite school subject has always been English because I enjoy writing. If I was in charge of the world, the first thing I would change would be to ban nuclear weapons, since they are the most powerful weapon made by mankind.
