My mother's sister's lake house has had a lot of memories. She used to have a dog called jacks who was a huge retriever and was a very playful dog. We used to throw a tennis ball into the lake and he would jump in and get it and bring it back to you over and over again. I think he was nine or ten years old and had a wonderful life. Jacks, a protective dog, had always looked out for us. Jacks had to stop after a few years because he could no longer get water in his ears, but he was still that fun loving dog he was before. He would always come on the boat with us and walk around the boat wanting to go in the water but could not. He died two years ago.=====

If you could spend a day with any real or fictional person in the past, present, or future, whom would you choose? Why?

Jeff Saturday is the starting center for the Indianapolis Colts. Jeff is a kind of person that will help others before himself just like in football when he sacrifices his own body to help win the game. Having that kind of a personality is hard to get that is why center is one the hard positions to play because you have to be the smartest person on the line. The center has to be able to know all the plays and line calls and tell the line with the fact that he has to snap the ball and block with a split second in between and both have to be great for the play to work. He has those kind of skills and those are the skills that every center needs. I would want spend a day with him to learn those skills and learn about him and how he got to the NFL.

First, we would probably go practice football for half of the day. He probably would be teaching me what steps and blocks are best for the type of defense you are going against. He could teach me the art of snapping and how to get into the right stance for a perfect snap every time and what it was like to win a super bowl. I would ask him what high school he went to and what it was like there. I think he is the perfect model for me because how he is like on and the field.

Second, I think that we would talk about what it was to get to the NFL. I would ask which college he went to and what it was like playing for them and what theircampus was like. Something else is how hard it was to play in college and in the pros and what did it take to make it there as a center. I will probably ask him about what he does to help the community and what places he visits for these people like the charities that he helps.

I can see myself in a similar than Jeff because we are very much in common like same position, similar attitudes towards football and helping other people, and how we communicate with other people. He is a kind person off the field but when he is on the field he has a different side. He is a hard working athlete to get to the NFL and have to one of the best colleges and get A’s and B’s and get a college is great I hope I could get close to doing the same for my career. He is a great player and a great person I would be happy to spend a day with him.

Memories help teach us what not to do over again. If we do not have memories we are more likely to repeat the past in the present. They let us remember important moments in our lives and let us remember what we have learned. People need to be able to reconcile with these memories so we can move through time with the expansion of technology. Memory is the base of people’s daily lives and is necessary for people to survive. There has been a horrible moment in time but if we forget them they will happen over again. Memory is not only filled with the bad times but also filled with the good moments in our lives. If we have memories people will be able to enhance technology, help to save people’s lives, and even be able to remember a friend. Without memories the world would just be a futuristic stone age. I for one would rather have harsh and good memories then no memories at all.

I would have like to have more examples in the paper.
