Life through high school is an extraordinary feeling for every teenager that goes through it. People say that high school is the most exciting and happiest moment in a student’s life. I actually didn’t believe that before because I was in high school and doing many assignments and projects. I hated doing those because it took away the time that I was supposed to be having fun. When I became a senior in high school, that was when I started to think that I guess those people were right.

Plentiful rodents probably drew wild felines to human communities. The cats' skill in killing them may have first earned the affectionate attention of humans. Early Egyptians worshipped a cat goddess and even mummified their beloved pets for their journey to the next world—accompanied by mummified mice! Cultures around the world later adopted cats as their own companions.

It is foolish to wear high-heeled shoes. They force your feet into an unnatural position. They concentrate your weight on the balls of your feet instead of distributing it across the entire sole of each foot. They cause your ankles and knees to buckle outwards so that you have to strain your calves and thighs to keep your legs straight. They do not allow you to step onto the heel of your foot, so you cannot walk quickly or run in them. Only a really silly person would want to hurt her own legs and limit her freedom in this way.
