After turning 17 and being able to drive along with my friends i have come to realize many different driving behaviors. Some people drive on the safe sidse. Others drive pedal to the medal. I think it all depends on your personality.
I noticed very calm and quiet people drive very differently from more outgoing people. I noticed people who are quiet and calm drive more carefully then others. Coming to complete stops at stop signs. Not speeding through town. When driving on the parkway they usually maintain their speed and don't weave in and out of traffic trying to find an opening. When people are trying to get out in traffic they tend to be the person who will let them go.
People who are very hyper and outgoing drive the complete opposite of that. They are the people who are always trying to get out of tickets when getting pulled over. They do the typical Jersey roll through stop signs. They speed a lot more. On the parkway they are always the jerk offs weaving in and out of everyone. When someone can't get out in traffic these kind of people tend to leave it up to someone else to let them out.
Something else i noticed with me, my dad and some of my friends is people tend to have something they do when they speed up. When I'm driving fast i tend to bite my cuticles. My dad always does something with his hand when he drives fast.
I was involved in once accident in my life and it wasn't good at all. I totaled my car in the rain. The back swung out and i was spinning down the road until i smaked into a tree. Its the worse feeling in the world knowing you weren't given your car and i worked so hard to waste my money. Then it gets even worse, not only did i not have a car anymore, i got two tickets and had to sit in court for 5 hours to pay $212 fine.

Changing the Way Things Run
What will the world be like when i grow up? There are tons of things to be concerned about when wondering about our future. Some worry about our education for our children. How good will it be, will it be funded money so they are nice. Others worry about will they be poor when they grow up. How will prisons be ran and crimes be handled. Will there still be way for people to get wround.
My main personal concern would be the economy. What if it doesn't pick up like it is suppose to. Will there be a job in the future that i can make a good living off of? Or will i be living paycheck by paycheck. That is what concerns me the most when i think of the future.
As of now i think the world is not at its best. Millions are losing their jobs. Then they can't support their families. I think this could possibly change in the future with the right president in charge. There isn't one big issue to focus on there are many. How should jails be ran, are the laws now good enough for the future as well? Will we still be able to drive cars if we use up all our source for gas? These are all things to be concerned about when thinking about our future

Relationship with phone
Everyone has a different relationship with their phone. Some never get off it. Others just use it when they absolutely need to. I think in this spectrum i could be both. There was a time when i didn't have a phone for 3 months. It didn't really bother me to much i just dealt with it. Now that i have a phone though i am always using it and talking to friends all the time.
I am usually using my phone in some way all day. Whether its texting people or trying to make plans for the day and weekends. It makes everything easier. Back when i didn't have a phone i had to call their house and hope they were home at the time. Now i can just text them and find out.
If i didn't have a phone it wouldn't be that bad. I went 3 months without one and it wasn't that big of a problem. People just learned to hit up my friends that i am always with to get in touch with me. Plus from not having a phone for so long i remember alot of numbers so if i needed to get in touch with someone i could use a friends phone.
If the entire network collapsed for 6 months everyone would be beat. I am sure everyone would figure out ways to get in touch with each other. Everyone would just have to make plans at school instead of after school through their phones.
