Running
This is an action that I like to do at least three times a week. When I'm running on the tread mill that I have in the home of my garage, I get this feeling of power, and control. It gives me a high, in a good natural way. When I'm running it feels sometimes like I can fly.
I can run or jog for at least 45 minutes straight because when I do this, I listen to to what they call good running music, which in my case is something with a fast tempo and a good beat. Preferibly Rap, and R&B music. This type of music makes me happy.
I think its very important to find an activity that you like to do because, for me it provides me an outlet from everyday stresses that are acquired through life. It allows me to be able to clear my mind of pollution, bad thoughts, and my body from negative energy. Taking the time doing this activity allows me to connect with who I am, which is Jade. Due to a busy lifestyle I tend to forget just exactly who Jade really is, away from being Jade the student, or Jade the mommy, or Jade the sister, Jade the daughter, and Jade the friend to many.
I'm glad I was given the opportunity to write about an activity that I enjoy doing because, it allowed me to share a piece of myself to others who may read what I wrote about.
To conclude, I would like to express that I myself like to enjoy other fruitful activities, such as dancing, singing, partying, playing board games, riding horses, and learning new things.

Persuasive Essay
Getting An Education
The word education means the knowledge and development resulting from an educational process. It is to be my understanding that every person of every nationality deserves the right to be given the chance to earn an education. Having an education is the key to surviving in this world we live in." Survival of the Fittest"
In the United States it is a requirement for children under the age of 18 to attend school. Schooling begins at a the very young age of five years old, which puts the child in kindergarten. I can remember clear as day attending kindergarten at Ohlone Elementary School, located in Hercules, California. Going to school now a days is taken lightly by some individuals who don't find an education a priority. Some tend to forget that for some nationalities or races such African Americans were not allowed to attend excellent schools that were only suited for whites to attend. This type of segregated schooling seized in 1954 by the supreme court in Brown vs. The Board of Education.
On the other hand getting a good or excellent education is a major priority for most people, including myself. I learned over the course of time you need to acquire a good paying job, so you are able to provide a roof over yours and possibly if you have a family's head. You will also need to provide food to eat and liquids to drink. There are utility bills that need to be paid for. Clothes to be purchased along with shoes and other odds and ends that we as people like to acquire.
In conclusion you should agree that getting an education is the necessary key to being able to get a good or descent paying job, so that you may be able to keep on living.
Be daring and strive to become the best you can possibly become.

Definition Essay
MOTHER
The word mother can best be described as "a female parent" or "a woman of authority" states the Marriam Webster Dictionary. I as a new and first time mother I can agree with that definition. I myself have to be a woman who expresses authority, which is due to being a female parent. Being a mother has been the greatest gift that could be given to me.

The word Mother has around for centries. It has been the word that could start a fight between men, give you hope, give you a sence of comfort and warmth, and give you a voice.
When you hear such a name as Mother Teresa, you automatically feel hope and joy in yous soul. She was the founder of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity, which is a Roman Catholic congregation of woman dedicated to the poor, particularly to the destitute of India. She was also given a Nobel Prize for peace in the year 1979.
When you hear the name Mary Harris (Mother) Jones you probably think of the word strong. She was widely known in the United States as a fiery agitator for the Union Rights of coal miners and other workers. She was born May 1, 1830 and died November 30, 1930.
Last but, not least there is the holiday Mother's Day, which is observed all around the world to give thanks and appreciation to our loving, imperfect at times, wonderful mother's. Whithout woman becoming mother's there would be no PTA's, soccer practice, cookie making, or all other things mother's do.
So, thank the heavans for the existance of mother's.
