Gun control is an extremely sensitive issue for most Americans,and it has a reason to be.A gun is an item that can make you and your family feel safe,it can be used as a hunting tool,it can even be just a hobby to own one,but do we really want another psychopath getting a hold of one of these potentially dangerous weapons.Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for the American dream and having the right to own guns,My family has plenty of guns,but the problem is any person,sane or not sane can buy a gun (2nd amendment).I, by no means whatsoever believe that we should not have the right to own guns,but I do believe we should limit the kinds of guns that we can have,which is already in effect,and we should pay attention to who we are actually selling these guns to.This issue is hotly debated between Republicans and Democrats,and they both have very good points on gun control,but I think there can be a happy medium between both opinions.”No other developed country on earth has as lax gun laws or weapons as the United States” says an article posted on a website called theprogressivesync.com.There are 88 guns for every 100 Americans,and 4% of all Americans are psychopaths,which means twelve million Americans are psychopaths/sociopaths.Just think about that,if you were a gun seller,that knew that information,every time someone came in to your shop to buy a gun,you would have to carefully decide whether or not to sell this gun to him or her,because you would know that he might be part of the 4% of Americans that are psychopaths,one of the 12 million people that might walk in your shop that is a psychopath.So,next time you are talking or thinking about gun control,take that into account,because a gun can be a great thing that protects you and your family,until it’s someone else’s hands that has no business owning a gun.Overall this debate isn’t between Republicans and Democrats,it’s really about the people of America and keeping them safe,taking away our guns isn’t going to accomplish that but we the people of America need to find other ways to prevent these tragic shootings.

Marine Biology is my favorite kind of science,because there are so many unique animals under the water.I also want to be a veterinarian,so studying in any kind of biology would be good experience.My favorite type of aquatic animal is the dolphin,because there way of life is really interesting,and they have interesting defense mechanisms.I hope learn more about Marine biology this year.

I could feel the warm air hit my face,as though a wet blanket was on my body. The chitter-chatter of hundreds of people was droning out my dads voice.But it wouldn’t matter anyway because. He was speaking spanish…which I couldn’t understand.

Luckily time was in our favor and we sped on through customs.Once we left the airport doors there were hundreds of people standing there waiting for other people to exit out those doors.My dad and I found our way through the crowd of people that felt like they were just obstacles to get through to get to our destination.The sweltering heat had gotten even more intense,and the bad news was there wasn’t going to be any A/C for awhile now.Once we finally met up with Javier,and Miriam, 2 of our friends from El Savador.

We started walking back to the car, and every way I turned on the narrow walk way we were on, there was a stranger trying to sell me something like candy or jewelry. They were like one-hundred talking bees all stinging me at once. Finally we made it to the car.We put our luggage in the trunk,and hopped in the car.The car might as well been a moving convection oven,because I was burning up. The hour long car ride to “La Libertad” went by fast because of the Lime green canopy of trees, and the deep, beautiful,hazy valley that looked almost as if it went on forever,that I could view from the car window.

We finally made it to La Libertad,and we entered the large blue house that we had rented. The houses name was “Casa Azul”, which is English for “Blue House”. I walked and was stunned at the spectacular building. The entrance was a staircase going down to the living room and on the right was a staircase going to the bedrooms, and on the left a hallway going to the game room.Once you got to the living room there were movies and a large projector, and to the right there was a very fancy kitchen, and on top of all that, they had screen doors leading to the pool, and pavilion/balcony where the dogs slept.

The next couple of days went by quickly, and throughout those days we walked around town. The town was very crowded especially in the market, with women balancing bushels of fruit on their head, and buses almost running you over with their extremely loud engines. The “sidewalks” were very narrowed,cracked,and run down. Thats why El Salvador is “Half a Paradise”…because its a wonderful,tropical place,but its also littered, and run down. But overall El Salvador is a great place, and from now on I’m open to try new things, and go to new places.
