Honesty Room

I would take the president into the Honesty Room and ask him to reveal all of the secrets of the United States - like Area 51, the truth about all the presidential assassinations, September 11, etc. I would also take my younger sister and ask her what she did with all of the things she has stolen from me over the years. I'm really not sure who else I would pick - but I think once I started getting the truth out of all of these people it would be hard to stop. Maybe it would be better to not even try it in the first place.

In 100 Years

I think that many things will change in the next 100 years, although maybe not quite as many as changed in the last 100 years. I think that women's rights will continue to improve, to the point that 100 years from now people will be shocked that there was ever any disparity between what men and women were paid. I also think there will be huge advances in alternative energy sources, so hopefully we will no longer be dependent on fossil fuels to run almost everything. I also think that the role of religion will diminish. Even today, less and less young people are choosing to belong to a religion and attend churches/synagogues/mosques/etc. People in the future will probably think that a lot of the things we do now are very strange - from the clothes we wear to the food we eat.

Things You'll Never Do

I will never do any of these things again:
  • Ride a roller coaster
  • Eat any kind of fish
  • Listen to country music (if I can help it)
When I was a junior in high school, I went on a trip with the school music department to San Antonio, Texas. I had an amazing time, and we did a lot of fun things. On the last day of the trip, we went to Sea World. While we were there, my friends convinced me to ride a huge roller coaster. I had never done so before, but it seemed like it might be fun so I reluctantly gave in. The second the roller coaster started moving I instantly regretted my decision. I am not a big fan of heights, so the entire experience was kind of terrifying for me. I covered my eyes throughout the entire ride. When it was over, I resolved to never ride another roller coaster again, and I could not be happier with that choice.
