The Opposites By: Jacklyn C1

Yesterday…

I was anxious about leaving my mom for school, But confident about trying new things. I was down about losing my teddy bear, But joyful when coming home to a warm hug. I hated going to sleep, But loved chasing the dog.

Today…

I am anxious about tests, But confident about when I grow up. I am down when I can’t go to my friend’s house, But joyful when I finish all my homework. I hate cleaning up my room, But love going to school.

Tomorrow…

I will be anxious about getting wrinkly, But will be confident about getting a job. I will be down when my family dies, But joyful when there is more technology. I will hate always going to work, But will love having fun. Carpe deim

Today is the day, Ready to go, The wind through my hair, But the bitter cold stings my face.

Stand up and claim it, The life that is yours. Time to step out from Behind closed doors.

This is my FtM video media type="file" key="Freak the Mighty Project.mp4" width="300" height="300" ** Overfishing ** Overfishing has been a problem for many years and more to come unless we stop.Overfishing has been decreasing the population of fish while also damaging countries and hurting people too, many of the fish are gone because of fish factories and fishermen around the world. Now fishermen are taking to many fish from the ocean, and another term for this type of behavior is overfishing. Overfishing is decreasing the population of fish. Now there are less fish in the ocean then before. Over 90% of the fish are captured when they are not fully-grown so they can’t reproduce. If we keep on fishing like this then over time the whole entire species will become extinct. Not only will the fish become extinct, but the predators will also die out because there is nothing to eat. Overfishing is damaging countries and hurting people too. Some countries depend on fish as protein. With fishermen overfishing; we will have a scarce food source to feed fewer people. For example, Hawaii has caught more then half of the swordfish and almost 80% of the big-eye tuna. With Earths growing population and people overfishing, we might just lose one food source. Also Japan has a sushi tradition so they will lose that. Fish factories have been the main reason for the loss of fish. In 2013, the first Bluefin caught was sold for $1.75 million. During the 1950’s, more cod was taken from the Grand bank’s fishery – 8 million tons. Around 85% of the world’s fisheries have already overfished to their limits. In 2012, commercial fishermen have hauled on over $5 billion worth of finfish and shellfish. The number of fish is decreasing people are starving, and we might just lose one more food source. We should help the world and the people who live in it by not overfishing. It has already inflicted damage to the world. So we must help the fish.
