Things that Make Me Go Hmmm


Right now, my ideal career would be a physical therapist. I chose this due to the fact that since I play basketball I would be great at helping injured players get better quicker. I could show them what type of exercises to do and what not to do that could possibly increase their chances of more injuries. I could also travel with the team. I really like to travel. I could go places I've never been before and see different places and how they play basketball.

The one law I would change in the state is driving schools. I would change this because there are some people who can't afford the $400-$600 to take the classes and then they have to wait until they're 18 to take the driver's test for free. I think if the price is lowered to where a lot of students' parents can afford it then teenagers won't have to depend on their parents a lot to take them places and it also shows the teenagers a little more responsibility.

There are a few things I would solve in the world, but one major problem I would solve is the world starvation and homelessness. I choose this because the U.S. has all this money and we're spending it on unnecessary things. We need to focus on what's more important. Giving the less fortunate something to live for instead of trying to make it on their own knowing that they could die sooner or later isn't something I want to happen. I feel we can do more for them than what we're doing right now. I believe that if every billionaire, millionaire, rich and famous person who has money should be able to give at least a million if not more to those in need of the help. The money could feed, bathe, clothe, and possibly even educate them. I think we need to think more about the world and not ourselves all the time. We should make peace with the world instead of war. But that's just my opinion.

If I could choose a place I really want to travel to it would be Jamaica.

If I could give little freshman Quamari some advice, I would tell her to DO YOUR HOMEWORK so you will be able to play sports!!!!!!
