'when enough time had passed, they would be swept away to a better place'
This was a creative descriptive paragraph thing that we were supposed to write for English.
The man shuffled swiftly through the corridor, weary as he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. More specifically, he was tangled in the burden of being responsible for the survival of yet another human life. Some days he felt as if he were not living, but simply existing since the monotony of the hospital surroundings caused the days to drag on. He recalled the days when this job had actually excited him. That was the time when the morbidity of human anatomy actually thrilled his curiosity. These days, his mind perceived patients as if they were dust; they came and they gathered in the hospital, and when enough time had passed, they would be swept away to a better place. Rarely was there ever a case that emotionally touched him, not even crackling through the tough outer shell that now surrounded his soul.
Deep in thought, the man found himself reaching the end of the hallway. He pushed on the door which reacted with a whine, as if like the man, the door was tired too. Like stones, patients’ loved ones lined the seats in the waiting room, often still and motionless while they concentrated on optimistic hopes for the well-being of the ones that they cared for. At first it wasn’t easy to break hard news to the fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, or wives that occupied this room. But with time, the man’s own feelings faded. He was no longer oppressed with the challenge of such a task. And as he approached the older woman sitting in the farthest right of the waiting room, he adorned a stern expression that couldn’t help but reveal how apathetic he really was. The woman, who was used to being in this situation, peered at the young doctor in front of her, and she knew that there would be no fortunate news in what he was to say. He looked into her eyes, as they pierced through his own. For the first time in a very long time, he felt the same passion as he had felt years before. He knew he had to do all he could to allow a human being to hang on to life | | |

'Lots of regular people do great things for this world. '
Hmmmmmm. I don't think there are set people that young girls should look up to, because it all depends on who they are, and how they affect them. Like for example, a common answer to this question might be 'their mothers.' But in specific cases, their mothers are not the best influences. However, I do think there should be certain criteria met for role models. In my case, I respect people who are smart, talented, independent and unique. (Basically eliminating people like Paris Hilton, haha, some role model!) I think young girls need to stray away from the image that all role models have to be celebrities because lots of regular people do great things for this world.

'It's just my opinion, but I don't ever see myself giving my kids a nose job for Christmas. '
Personally, I have a terrible view on plastic surgery in general, for people of any age. There are exceptions however, in which I think it is acceptable. Like in emergency situations, like a car accident, or a burn where plastic surgery is the best option for the patient to lead a normal life. I don't consider it acceptable in circumstances where it is solely used for vanity. With all of these conditions that not only today's youth, but people in general are suffering, concerning weak self esteem and self-images, plastic surgery, just isn't the answer. There is no such thing as a 'quick fix'. Sure, it will make a patient look better, and give them some immediate confidence. However in a long term perspective, it does not change the patients' interior emotions and the problems they face mentally. That's just it with today's generation (of which I am a part of myself), we want quick fixes to everything. Speed dating, fast food, short term dieting, and now plastic surgery. Instead of attaching a new pair of breasts, or a new butt, why don't we instill a sense of self-confidence and deeper values to today's youth? That will last much longer, and be much more rewarding.
It's just my opinion, but I don't ever see myself giving my kids a nose job for Christmas.

'Depends...'
Hm, I'd say that it depends. Depends on the kind of person you are, and the situation that you're in. Yeah, it can make you stronger, as you could learn from your mistakes. But, after a near-death experience, you might be in some kind of psychological trauma. Therefore, making you mentally weaker. So, it depends..
Comments and invites appreciated kindly.
PS: If you'd really like to know, I took a step into getting a new job today by applying at Hallmark Cards and Coles'. It's about time...

'I know who you are...'
The computer. That's the answer. Wonderful scientists and computer programmers have made life so convenient, and the computer is just one amazing entertaining device packed into machinery. Outdoors?! What are you kidding? When you can sit in the comfort of your own home enjoying yourself on your computer.
No. I'm kidding. I love the outdoors, I love this weather. I love the sun. Summer boredom? Get rid of it in anyway you please. Get back to one of your old hobbies that you haven't bothered with because of work/school or whatever. Or just relax, get outside. This weather only lasts so long. Enjoy it. Don't waste your time on the computer.
Anyway, respond please, I would like to hear how you think? And subscribe perhaps. Because I have no subscribers. Don't think that I don't know you're out there. I see those 'footprints' popping up on my homepage, I know who you are...
