The cost of Meds

I find this image to have a lot of controversy over it in many different ways. Although I think the image is not too controversial, it shows that there is a price to staying healthy if you are relying on synthetic pills that have been made in a lab. The cost, time, and amount of testing it takes to create a pill that works is intense.
It takes millions of tests to produce a working drug, and takes years to get it right with trials and testing to make sure it will not kill anybody that takes the drugs. I think that the cost of some medicine should be set higher, so maybe that would help people realize that the need to start working harder to care for their health instead of relying on pills to stay healthy.
That said, some people can not help what is wrong with them like the people with disorders, illnesses, diseases, or injuries due to accidents, and some people that have serious problems. Therefore I think it is important to for this nation to have good health care coverage.

Life of an artist (Interview)

Messy crayon marks on paper, squiggly lines on construction paper. This sounds like the work of an average 5 year old. But it could be the beginning of an artist.
Cara who is a 21 year old Senior at McDaniel Collage. She also lives on a farm and is used to getting messy with animals and being outdoors, surrounded by nature. While being outdoors, she also takes pictures, because she is a photographer and an artist. Nature is the main subject of her photographs and an inspiration for her paintings and drawings. "Lately, I've been inspired by nature in my art," says Cara.
Art has always been a part of here life and she is always drawing or taking pictures. Cara says, " I've been drawing since I was old enough to make lines on paper with my crayons." People who have inspiration her to pursue this path in life, have been her parents and brother. Family is important to her and he art centers around nature & other objects found around her home.

Observation Mark Owens

The smell of gas,grease and engine emissions, can tell you a lot about where you are at. In this case, I happened to be at the train and bus station in down town Frederick. From my resting spot across from the station, I observed the busy comings and goings of the passengers of the buses.
Every day people ride buses traveling to and from all different places. There are many questions we have with buses and the people riding on them. How long are they on the buses, what do these people carry with them? And can we tell where they are going or what they are doing by what they are wearing or what they are saying.
When I first arrived at the station, there was one man sitting on a bench waiting for the buses to arrive. The first bus got there about two minutes after I did. Then about five more came, in one minute there was nothing but the sound of cars driving by, then there was the sound of all the buses as they were idle waiting for the passengers to exit or enter them. The buses stayed there for about 7 to 10 minutes in that time about ten plus people got on and off the buses with limited interaction with each other. Its surprising to me from an observation point how people do not interact with each other as they pass going from one bus to another or a cab. This shows how people in society are usually self focused. People were more concerned with their own lives, talking on their cell phones. Because of the little interactions between the passengers, the main sounds are the buses, and the noisy construction coming from behind the buildings behind me.
When the buses are gone and there are no more passengers (not until the next bus), the only things really moving are the flags waving in the breeze, and the cars passing by. Not too mutch happens at a bus station at 11:15am on a weekday.

My Memory Mark Owens

A memory that clearly sticks out in my mind, is the time my car was destroyed. I was not a part of the accident but I saw it happen and it is something that will always be a strong memory.
As a favor to a good friend, I let him borrow my car, while I rode my motorcycle. One day we were driving on the same road together, and I was behind him when he started to speed up. His back tire hit a drain on the road, and the back tire popped off the ground. He was going about 80 mph when he lost control of the vehicle. Then he hit a curb and then a light pole, which caused the car to spin ten feet in the air. When the car smashed against the ground, I turned around on my bike, and saw the damage done to the front of the car. I made sure he was okay before, I stepped back and examined the damage further and let the anger wash over me.
Now that my car is gone, I realize how much I miss it and how convenient it is to have a car. My friend has since paid me back for what the car was worth, and I am grateful that no one was hurt and simply try to put the memory out of my head, even though it is impossible to forget.
