Today many young people spend their time developing one special talent. But such devotion to a single special ability or skill, whether in the arts, in sports, or in any other area, may not be a good idea.

One of the most influential men during the Civil Rights Movement was Martin Luther King Jr. During Mr. King’s early life he worked as a store employee A&P, and he then became a priest. The man whose speech felt as though a sermon, and his words are held in reverence started as a regular store employee. It’s thanks to Mr. King’s decision that we became closer to having racial equality in America. If Mr. King had stayed a store employee would the Civil Rights Movement been as successful as they were? Mr. King didn’t stay constant, and stick to one place. He moved on, until he found his place. If we are to follow in Mr. Kings footsteps, surely we should keep moving on.
When the famous Russian politician, Jakobvich Nicholas said “The sharpest swords cannot be made from a single clay” he means that the best item is not made from the same material. In order to get the sharpest sword a person must use a blend of materials. Some of the strongest swords in history were hybrids that were made from maybe only 50% steel. Nicholas’s quote was used as a symbol for my class’s science experiment. We were sitting in a computer lab with I interactive simulation. Our goal was let our species survive until the end of the game. Most people that used the same species without crossing it with another species, lost the game really early. At the end of the timeframe only two people’s species had survived, both of which were crossbred with many other species. Just like animals, and swords the most successful person is the person with the richest background. The more experience they have, or the more skills they have the more successful they are.
All of these examples are fake I just want to know if they seem real, and what scores do you think that i might get.
