Journal Question #16

Spring is a short season in Maine.  Winter's finally over, and summer's coming.  Spring can be cold, wet, and muddy, but also unexpectedly hot and sunny.  The earth changes, of course, and so do people.  What do you like about spring?  Enumerate (list) three aspects of spring that you most enjoy, and maybe one part of spring you don't like.

Journal Question #15

Drugs are a huge problem in America.  Opioid abuse (e.g., Heroin, Oxycodone, other prescription and street drugs) is in the news now because of the number of deaths they cause.  But there are lots of drugs that don't necessarily kill you but hurt you anyway: alcohol, marijuana, LSD, crystal meth, tranquilizers, etc.  Here's the question: why do people, especially young people, take drugs?  Are you interested in "experimenting" with drugs?  Why or why not?
