Pain
The day I learned that my grandfather, “Mi Abuelito Enrique,” died brought me much pain. This type of pain, the emotional pain, can sometimes cause scars deeper than any physical pain. It can affect you on a different level because physical pain only scratches the surface. When you lose someone you love, you learn more about life. You discover that nothing comes without a cost, and this deeper knowledge can't be bought or read in a book, you must experience the pain to understand. Sometimes I wish I didn’t understand.

My Visit to El Guamuchil
As I sprinted back up the numerous flights of stairs I knew that this was El Guamuchil. It had all started as I slowly got out of the truck exploding with excitement. I could hear all the splashes, and yells from the parking lot, and as I looked forward I saw a beautiful castle-like entrance with blue waves painted on the vibrant yellow walls. As I looked around I noticed how beautiful it looked even the kids section with bright green caterpillars and spotted mushrooms was enticing. It was beyond great and I wanted to go everywhere at once.
The first slide noticed was of course the tallest. The twin purple and yellow slides towering down in spirals was obviously the first we visited and as we climbed to the top of the numerous stories we saw each and every sparkling pool in surprising detail the one on the farthest side with steep slides and the ordinary one near the restrooms jampacked with people, but then we reached the top shivering with cold we got into the slide in turns as the youngest I naturally went last in and was extremely nervous.
Never did I imagine why I would allow myself to be taunted into doing this it was as simple as this: “Gil you coming!” yelled my dad
“Yeah dad just a moment” I replied I was THRILLED! It was easily the biggest slide I have ever been on. I was there it was a big moment waiting and waiting. This was important it was a once in your life thing. Am I ready? Yes, but could I do it? I don’t know this was- “C’mon Gil what are you a chicken?” hollered my brother! Oh no he didn't.
Offended and knowing I was no chicken I screamed “HECK NO!” and bolted had down onto the wildest ride of my life.
It was amazing the speed is I was flung past each and every turn the water lashing me in the face over and over but of course it had to end at top speed I shot out of the slide and too fast for my dads hairy arms to catch me flew past and splashed face first into the water coming back up only one thought was on my mind “AGAIN!!!” As I sprinted back up the numerous flights of stairs I knew that this was El Guamuchil.

Teens Are in No Rush to Drive
Federal data has lately shown a curious drop in the number of teenagers getting their licenses, and I have written this to find out why. One reason I found for the lack of teens getting licenses is that driving classes in schools are being disbanded because of budget and there aren't as many public driving schools as they're used to be, so “families must scrounge up money” to pay for private schools. I also found this excerpt from an article posted on Stuff.co called “Kiwi teens turn off driving” by Kirsty Johnston. In the article she states “Growing numbers of of teens are refusing to get behind the wheel, because they think cars cost too much, they're worried they might drive into someone, or they just can't be bothered sitting their license.” This happens because if a teenager can just text or call a friend what would propel them to actually drive over and say it in person. Also with new activities like sports and studying for tests teenagers have to prioritize and choose what they do because there is only a certain amount of hours in the day.

Texting and Driving
Texting and driving is bad everyone knows that. they also know texting and driving can hurt and kill people. Not to mention that it is now illegal in 35 states and, getting caught will cost $250. You'd think people would take a hint right? Nope as usual the most advanced beings in the Milky way are as ignorant as always. Texting and driving is risky, harmful, and downright stupid. Don’t do it. What more can I say.
