Personification - Punching Bag

I am always beat, punched and torn. I am taped back up and then punched and beat again. A punching bag with

what people think have to no feelings. I am mistreated only to help those who think they are something. Hurt is a

big part of my life, pain and suffering has been brought into my everyday life now. I know I may seem solid to

some, but for whats inside me, I am soft and full if feelings that are always hurt by those who don't care about the

harm that they put this punching bag through and the struggle that I go through to get through all the painful harm

that he/SHE has brought to me. Kids punch me and play me as if I am a game, as if I'm something to be

played with. People just don't understand me and these people never will.

1500 Word Essay

Now days people do not watch what they eat, they toss so much fast food, unhealthy food into their body. I mean c'mon whatever happen to "personal responsibility"? People do not take responsibility in what they eat the way they should. All of these Businesses now days advertise their fast food to everyone especially the children, they make Mcdonalds toys and Billboards that attract the people to buy their food. I do not blame the companies because they are doing what they have to do and making money, it should be the people responsibility to stop eating all of that unhealthy food and start adding some greens into their systems. Most people that have diabetes are because of their obesity and what they eat, if people were to eat a little healthier they would be at less risk of getting diabetes.

My Life

John Alas, normal, simple guy who was born and raised in Los Angeles, south central to be exact. Ive spoke english ever since I was 5 years old. My favorite subject has always been anything involving sports, I love playing basketball and s its something I can choose too do everyday. I was always a very social person as I grew older, I just had a good feeling when I would talk. As I grew and became more mature I realized that I had to know when to be a social person and when to be a serious person. There are people who find it to be annoying when others are very talkative or just dont know when to SHUT UP.

  I live in a household of 5, my mother, father, and my two little sisters. My parents had me at a very young age, my father is 34 years old and my mother is 33 years old, so some will say they are very young but they complain about how old they are. My life is not the perfect life, but I try to make the best out of it, my father does not work and so my mother has to provide for our family of 5. My first 12 years of life I had to share a little room with both my sisters, we lived in a little 2 bedroom apartment until my mom just couldnt handle being in such a small apartment that she did all she could to get us out of there and now we are living in our OWN house, now I have my own room, and so do my sisters.

  Entering my high school years I was a bad kid, even in middle school id say i was a bad student i would always get bad grades on my classes cause i wouldnt care. I wouldnt care about school, I would ditch and I just wouldnt think about life itself. Then the end of my sophmore year came and "Boom" reality punched me right in the face. There was a teacher who really influenced me and that was mr. Park, he knew how to be straight forward with you but an influencial way and in a way where he can get you to understand what is good and what is right, and just talked to you so much about life. I realized that I had to get My life straight and so I started doing everything possible to do good in school and make my things good, and i want to get a good grade in this class so that I wont have a problem with graduating and with my college applications. I want to live a great life, and a successful life, I want to major in Engineering and hopefully become and aerodynamic engineer.

  Now I am a senior in West Adams Preparatory High School, and I see myself as a good student now, not the way i was before. I am now all good for graduation and just getting things straight for college. So with that being said thats how far ive came in life and I plan on going further into a successful, happy life. John Anthony Alas and This is My Life.
