■■■t -i • Our World It is as vast as we wish our eyes to see. As broad as we are. And as full as we allow in. The outlook we take on our world resembles a large puzzle. A puzzle that has as many pieces as want it to have. We even decide on the design and the colors it will be created of. The foundation is ourself, the individual That is what the rest is built on. The amount of pieces the puzzle will hold depends on the strength and thickness of the foundation. There is a large portion which consists of our friends. To many it is them who are holding it all together. They are a part of many of the other pieces. The scene of entertainment is also important. Many hours are spent listening to the sound of music. Time is also invested in watching television and movies. Money and time are spent on our stereos. A part of our world is devoted to sports. Whether it is participating in the game or by being a spectator. The world of wheels takes a priority in many of our lives. How we manage to get around. The appearance and condition of our transportation is important. It is needed to take us to our meeting places, our hang-outs. Jobs, and the responsibilities they teach us. fit in. Along with hobbies and activities It is important how and where we spend our free time. All that touches us creates the puzzle. The special things become pieces Pieces of our world. A world of our own. M 1 Discovery Opening 5

There is a myth that the teen years in one ' s life are filled with only leisure and good times. A student’s life can seem as hectic as the next person ' s. There are many things to do in so little time. Going to work is faced by many students as they wa lk out the doors after last hour. For others there are hobbies, friends, and activities all awaiting their touch. Entertainment is often included on the circle that makes up a student’s existence. We spend many hours with music surrounding our heads. Movies, concerts, and albums all consume our time and money. There are dances to be attended to, games to be played and appearances to be made at them. There is homework to be done for the sake of grades and learning. There is graduation when sometimes the student ' s life ends and the adult one begins. Or at this time there is a step to take for further education. Our world is offering many different things. What we take, and use, and give back, make it, A world of our own.
