Water Contamination Is A Problem Today
www.materialsinnovationexchange.com

Today there is a lot of water contamination going on in the world. I feel that at the point that we are going with the combination of trash, chemical, mineral the water in the future won’t be able to be used. The contamination of trash is one of the biggest problems in the ocean. Everywhere there is always trash in the ocean and nobody really cares about it. This is messed up because humans should care about our society and our environment. When humans neglect to see what is going on there are even more problems. The problems that are happening would are animals dying, the beaches having trash washing up on, it and boat motors breaking from all of the trash. This wouldn’t happen if humans put the trash where it belonged and if humans tried to find a way to get rid of the trash without destroying the environment and to prevent animal death.

The chemical contamination is a bigger issue than the trash because the trash doesn’t kill as much. There has been toxic waste dumped in certain areas all around the United States. This waste has either been dumped in a small body of water such as a lake, pond, creek and/or river or on a place on the ground. The waste being put in the water will affect all the animals in it along with the animals that drink from the water source. This can cause humans to get sick and could kill them because it could be a drinking source or bathing source. Additionally, depending on where it is there might be tribes that use the water for everything and could kill the whole tribe causing problems within the Native American part of society. The waste being dumped on a ground surface will cause it to sink in and cause that dirt to be unused. This can causes hardships since some people grow their own food and this won’t allow them to do so. This can also cause plants to be toxic and cause problems with wildlife that eat plants also the animals that live in the ground. This could cause death and/or hunger for both animals and humans.

I think that the mineral contamination is s equal to the trash academic going on. The biggest issue that happened here is the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. This happened because of the pipes that were under water cracked and started to let out oil a little at a time. All the time went by the pipe exploded, causing a lot of problems in the Gulf. This caused many animals to get covered in the oil and some ingest the oil causing them to die from it. When this happened, a lot of humans went and volunteered to clean up the beaches. They also helped clean the animals and for them to have a place to recover from what they experienced during the oil spill. Today there are still oil pockets washing up on the beaches but it doesn’t cause any problems anymore because of the small amount coming up. The company that caused the spill has been working to fix and prevent what would happen in the future for the oil business and how to change the way to get oil from one place to another place by a safer way to transport the oil. Hopefully this happens sooner or later for the oil company and this would help save the animals.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
