Concussions

       There are two sides to concussions.  I am going to tell you some facts and opinions about both.
       The first side of concussions is whether you should rush back into sports after a concussion.  Studies show that 31% of athletes with concussions are rushed back onto the field.  But in my opinion I think that they should wait at least one to two months after getting a concussion.  If they are rushed back onto the field there is a substantial chance for them to get a second or even a third concussion.  A study has corroborated that players who have three or more concussions have a tripled risk of depression.  I feel that one concussion is the most someone should get.  Two is OK, but then you should indubitably take more precautions or stop playing sports.  Several professional football players have committed suicide.  Autopsy results revealed brain damage.  Concussions are bad!!!!!!!!

Vacation Letter

January 17, 2014

Dear Mom and Dad,

     My vacation is going amazingly.  The first thing I did was go to the Leaning Tower of Pisa.  It was amazing!  It was so old looking yet it was in great shape (besides the fact that it was leaning.)  The view from the top of it was also astounding.  The weird thing was they didn't have a pizza place anywhere near. I was like what!  I'm in Italy, why is there no pizza?
     The next place I went was the Eiffel Tower.  It was the most swagalicious place I have ever seen!  Paris was the most magnificent place I have ever been to!  It was so breathtaking at night I wish I lived there.
     I also went on the tour of Europe.  The tour went everywhere!  The buildings were so cool looking!  They were so much better than the ones in Iowa.
     I then went to Germany to see the castles.  Wow, they are stunning.  They were old, but by far the coolest things I have ever seen.

                                                                                                                            Love,

My Christmas Break

     My Christmas break wasn't all that exciting.  The first thing I did was sleep in.  Also that same day I went to my Grandma's house with my cousins and had a big Christmas dinner, and we opened presents.  I got some pretty good things.  I got airsoft stuff, clothes, and an under amour bag.
     On Christmas Day my family and I opened presents.  I got more airsoft stuff and a new Xbox 360.  Later that day my grandparents came over and we ate food and I showed them some of my presents.
     The main thing I did over Christmas break was sleep in, play Xbox, do things on my computer, and eat food.  I mostly played with my cousin and friends on Xbox.
     Over Christmas break I also went up to Minnesota to see my cousins.  I shot pistols with my Dad, uncle, cousin, and my cousins girlfriend.  After shooting we went to Gander Mountain to look at guns. The next night we went to a comedy club which had lots of danger acts and funny things.  The name of the show was called The Danger Committee.
    That was my Christmas vacation.
