I worked all day on Monday and it was very hot outside. Temperatures were in the 90s most of the day. I was in charge of the ferris wheel that day. I had a line of people all day. Every time the line cleared out, more and more people came to ride the ferris wheel….
A lot of the fast food restaurants in my area are not good. I don’t want soggy french fries and burgers that taste like they’ve been sitting in a warmer for three hours before hitting my plate.

I started having sleeping problems in high school. I drank lots of caffeine during the day to stay stimulated for my honors and AP classes, but that would make it harder for me to get to sleep at night.
