Constitutional Amendment

If I had the opportunity to add and amendment to the Constitution, I would want to change the driving age. Right now the age is 16. I believe the age should be lowered to 15. But the exception, is that you must be in High School, and maintain a  GPA of at least 3.5. This way, people who need to be able to drive, for things like school transportation, sports, etc. would be able to. But it would be justified through having a 3.5 GPA, because then the kids would have a decent common sense, and would give the students something to work towards, and a better reason to work hard and earn that 3.5 GPA. Of Course, they'd still have to pass the regulation driving test, so the driver would still have to be taught and be able to drive properly.

What do you wish you could believe in again?

"There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again." -W. H. Auden
There are many things I used to believe in that I don't believe in anymore, like the Tooth Fairy or Santa. Things were a lot different then though. Kids always seem to be a lot more excited for Christmas, because they actually write letters to Santa and get more hyped-up about Christmas or about losing a tooth, but when you know about Santa its a little different, because you know its your parents getting the presents for you.

Big vs Small Apearences

Do you know anyone who looks 'big' but acts 'small'? Or vice-versea? Its kinda like saying someones "Bark is more than their bite". They may seem big and tough, but on the inside, they're actually soft and not as intimidating as they seem. It goes the same the other way around; some people that look small could actually be 'tougher' or more than they seem. This also ties into the saying of  "Don't judge a book by it's cover". I think that sometimes physical appearances are related to their personalities, because they could change their appearance to match their personality, but there's also many times where its the opposite. Often times, people that may originally look big, aren't really. Once you actually meet them and find out who they are, you learn that they're different than they seem.
