IN PERSON Really Think You're Special people-(peepel)-human beings not individually known or considered as individuals; human beings who form a segment of humanity sharing a common charac- teristic, If all of the people in the world were to now come to America, everyone would have a 10’x10’ square in which to live. If these same people were to line up-10 in a row-near the equator, the population would circle the earth more than five times. You are only one of approximately 300,000,000 people in these United States. Each year the population increases to another 50 million. Did you ever think that means that you must compete for food, education, and jobs in order to survive? You are only as special as your environment, education, and food allow you to become (along with self-motivation which allows you to become bigger and better if you work hard.) In America, no law forces to be someone special. You can choose to be a wandering fish in a big, blue sea or you have the choice to be extra special among 300,000,000 other U.S. citizens. It appears to be a tremendous job to be special; however, there are many areas that require special people. What will the next two to twenty years bring? Will the mundane prob- lems of today — such as famine, war prevention, preservation of the earth and its resources, or deadly diseases of cancer and AIDS be cured by the ‘new generation’? Will a new disease arise along with unstoppable environmental difficulties like the ‘Greenhouse Effect’’? Perhaps, by the special people of tomorrow must be attempting to solve such uncertain- ities. Man has sent spacecraft to the moon and beyond, moved mountains, and has predicted immense natural disasters. She he has been successful in controlling the physical world we live in and know. From all of this technological success, the human race has not prevailed in decoding human problems. Yes, you are special and you are going to have to help solve the problems of the world to in which you will fall heir. By the year 2000, you will be only one special person in a hoard of 6,000,000,000 others in the world like yourself. The moral of this narrative is: “Be all that you can be,”’ for one day your knowledge may be useful to the preservation of the human race. “I can’t take the pressure of school anymore!,’’ proclaims Mark Umbel.-Olila McElroy Like most tenth graders, Leeann Lewis experience simulated driv- ing.-Mary Thomas
