Congratulations! You have made it to the end. I pray everyone do well on there final exam/ paper. Do not let your anxiety get the best of you. I recommend meditating an hour before you take you exams, I can truly say that this helps a lot. I wish you guys the best during the holidays!

Heaven on earth or hell on earth

I don't think Heaven is on earth I feel as though hell is. The struggles that we as humans go through everyday as it pertains to illnesses, financial difficulties and things happening that uproots your life is like a punishment  for something we did in the past. If this is not hell I would REALLY hate to see what it really is. I urge you to live right by God, treat everyone with a kind heart, follow the commandments and pray.

Florida's Winter

During the winter season Florida is not the most liked state by other states, they envy us. This happens because whiles people up north spend their time shoveling snow, cutting logs, missing work due to snow storms and having to wear ten layers of clothing we here in Florida get to relax on the beach in the warm sun. This is why we have a lot of bad driving from the month of December to March, the snow bergs. Floridians enjoy the holidays and I wish the northerners much warmth.  

Benefits of Exercising

Exercising can help your body in many different ways. It prevents issues such as heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and manage stress. Working out 15 minutes a day can add years to your life. I went full force into a boot camp exercise and I now have more energy, lost 30 lbs and improved my test anxiety. I urge you to work out at least three times a week to get healthy and fit. 

Positive benefits of video gaming

What if I told you every time you played Pac-Man, you were sharpening your multitasking skills? In Pac-Man you navigate your character through a maze like layout while watching for the separate paths of four additional objects (the ghosts). You also have to keep your ultimate goal of clearing all the pellets in mind, as well keeping track of remaining pellets, or how about when you play Tetris you can increase your problem solving and memory skills. Video gaming, when used correctly, can have positive benefits for educational and healthcare purposes. I am an avid gamer. I play everything from 4 Pics 1 word to candy crush. The only games I don’t play are racing games because I always crash. There is more to video gaming then most would have imagined. Video gaming platforms are rapidly rising for educational purposes, and also in the health care industry.

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela was born in Transkei, South Africa on July 18, 1918. He was educated at University College of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand where he studied law. He joined the African National Congress in 1944 and was engaged in resistance against the ruling National Party's apartheid policies after 1948. He went on trial for treason in 1956-1961 and was acquitted in 1961.

After the banning of the ANC in 1960, Nelson Mandela argued for the setting up of a military wing within the ANC. In June 1961, the ANC executive considered his proposal on the use of violent tactics and agreed that those members who wished to involve themselves in Mandela's campaign would not be stopped from doing so by the ANC. This led to the formation of Umkhonto we Sizwe. Mandela was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to five years' imprisonment with hard labour. In 1963, when many fellow leaders of the ANC and the Umkhonto we Sizwe were arrested, Mandela was brought to stand trial with them for plotting to overthrow the government by violence. His statement from the dock received considerable international publicity. On June 12, 1964, eight of the accused, including Mandela, were sentenced to life imprisonment. From 1964 to 1982, he was incarcerated at Robben Island Prison, off Cape Town; thereafter, he was at Pollsmoor Prison, nearby on the mainland.

Nelson Mandela fought hard for equal rights and for freedom. He was an inspiration to a lot of people.
R.I.P Mandela.

Helen is one of the Iliad's most interesting characters. For one thing, she is supposed to be the most beautiful woman in the world. Helen is notable for her conflicted attitude toward her Achaian origins and her new home in Troy. She was the woman the started the war.
