If you could invent something to help mankind, what would it be?
If I were to invent something to help mankind I would invent a new system of government. One that allows for healthcare to be accessible to everyone and one that allows education to be prevalent in all parts of the world. The world offers enough resources to help everyone, so that no one should have to go hungry. Also, the world offers resources that could cure diesases, this should be available to all people no matter how much money they have. I feel that if the world were more integrated and was not run by leaders making decisions for financial benefit than all people would benefit in many different ways. If the system allowed for things to be not tied to money when it benefits all people the world would be a better place. For example, building a more green world (electric cars, houses, hospitals, medicine, surgeries, etc) should be made easier because all of the materials and efforts should be available without monetary funds.
where do you go to get away from your family/career pressures? write about that place
When I have pressures I get in my car. Ever since I got my license I have used my car as an escape, a means of independence. I sometimes drive to a friends house or to go shopping; but most of the time I just drive on a scenic route and listen to music and sing out loud in the car. Driving relaxes me (when im not driving to get to somewhere on time or stuck in traffic), its nice to drive just to drive. Other places I go is for a run. The place that I typically hate to go when I feel pressure is work or class. I feel confined and that I have to act a certain way as a student and as a professional. I like to keep my job as a job and only shate little bits of information with my co-workers and my fellow students that aren't close friends. Therefore, when I feel pressure I would rather drive to think, without needing to concentrate on work or school, or go to a friend so i can talk openly and honestly.

Imagine 20 years from now your life has been turned into a book, in about 100 words write the blurb for it
Never has a story been so breath-takingly honest. After living an American normality, graduating highschool and going on to college, Deanna's self-analysis got the best of her as she left it all behind to search outside of the 'american dream'. Filled with devastating lows and once in a lifetime highs, the story reminds Americans that there is a life outside of 'normal' and true meaning to be found with some adventure.
Write about a time you hid from someone or disguised who you really are
Growing up I watched Full house before I went to bed. My favorite character was Stephanie. I also loved disney movies as well, I loved Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and Little Mermaid. I wanted to be a princess.
I was 5 years old when my mothers' friend Theresa dropped me off at a day care center for the first time. My mom was busy at work and my usual babysitter Theresa thought it would be educational to have me spend the day with a group that simulated a school room. The moment I got there Theresa left, my mom would have stuck around and waited to make sure I was okay, integrating with the other kids, not crying, etc. I felt alone and small in the huge center, the ceilings were high, the halls were wide, and the class size was over 40 children.
"What is your name?" asked a counsler. She startled me as I had my entire head tilted back trying to see where the ceiling ended. "Princess Stephanie" I said without hesitation.
The counsler laughed and smiled and said, "Okay Stephanie, nice to meet you, I am Martha." She took out a pink marker and wrote Stephanie on a name tag and stuck it onto my purple blouse.
I spent the enite day playing games, watching shows, and drawing pictures. There wasn't a familar face in the large crowd but I followed along.
As the day was coming to an end I was in the corner playing with a new friend when I heard two adults fighting. "I am here for Deanna," said Theresa's famliiar voice. "I'm sorry there is no Deanna here," said Martha. "What!! What do you mean there is no Deanna here?!" Theresa was beginning to shout and I calmly starred at them as my new friend offered me a doll. I knew that I should walk over and see what was the matter so I glidded over to the big yellow door that Theresa stood against in dismay. "Oh my god, there she is!" Theresa reached out to grab my hand when Martha quickly held me back. "This is Stephanie, I am sorry mam but you have to leave. "What!? Deanna tell them who you are," said Theresa.
To this day I still see my mom's old friend Theresa, and even though I did inocently admit my name was Deanna, she never lets me forgot the hard time I gave her.

Write a formal complaint letter to your deepest, darkest fear.
Dear Fear,
The way that you try and control me is getting old. Surcoming to your strong tidal pull only makes me feel weaker, yet trying to swim out of its strong grip is exhausting. How do I pull myself out of your ocean of mysery and crawl onto the sandy still beach of warmth and content? Is it by talking about you? Is it by listening to your inner most message and not trying to ignore you? Please tell me so I can be rid of you and enjoy my life without anxiety.
You always come along when I am happy. Right when I am doing what I want, doing what I feel not what I think. Right when I let you go for a moment and start to live. Thats when you get the audacity to show up again. Its like you disappear long enough for me to be comfortable, to then reemerge when I have found joy.
You must be really insensitive. You must know what you do to me-paralyze me with your intensity, force my entire body to tense up muscle by muscle. I begin to feel the pressure in my head and I rub my temples to try to relieve your annoying reoccurances to be scared.
One day I will overcome you. I will stand up and shake your hand and say 'thank you for making me grow' or who knows maybe il say 'you've ruined my life', I guess it depends how I deal with you.
In the futre I hope to never see you again,
Yours Truly
Deanna

Explain what you would do with 1,000,000 dollars
First, I would pay off my college debt and save some for the remaing two years of college. Then I would rent an apartment somewhere close to the city, but not in the city. I would then put the rest in a savings and focus all of my energy on doing well in school and not having to worry about working so much. I could also get an internship because I have the opportunity and time to work for free.
I would also loan my parents some money as well. They are having a hard time with the economy and I would invest some money into my step father who owns a few busniesses. There is an area near Vernon NJ that is a gold mine for new buildings and companys. Its completely undiscovered and the few businesses that have learned of the amazing location have turned themselves into multi million dollar companys. I would love to build something there like a resturant or apartment complex and have a stake in it.
