History of Halloween
Halloween started as a religious festival for the Celts people. Celts people lived in Europe, they believed that on late October the souls of the deaths visited The Earth, so they always used to throw up a fair to honor these souls. In time, the Romain people controlled the Celts, and started to use some of their traditions and habits, so they added this festival to their calendar list, and made it viral for the rest of the world. The term halloween was originally formed by the Catholic Church on November 1, so it originally was called "All Hallows Day" that meant the mass of all saint people. This explains why all people dresses up on Halloween like witches, ghosts, and fairies. http://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/articles/holidays/halloweenhistory.htm
How I'm going to help my friend with his high cholesterol level..
My friend has taken the cholesterol test, and apparently he has high cholesterol level. He asked for my help especially; my dad had gone through this phase before, but he managed to drop the high cholesterol level and get into good shape again. I'm going to try my best to help my friend without him noticing a big difference in his lifestyle. First of all, I'm going to do a research about the restaurants in my city that do not prepare food with oil. For example, We'll go eat in restaurants that are known for their grilled food, and famous salad bar. Furthermore, I can take him to the gym with me for the reason that I have 4 free guest passes a week. At the gym, there are many exercises that focuses on how to reduce high cholesterol levels. For example, walking, jogging, swimming, and lifting weights. In addition, my mom only cooks vegetarian food, so he can visit every once in a while and eat dinner/lunch with us. After a while, I can encourage him to go take the Angiogram test that shows fat deposits, so he can see his improvements, and accomplishments. Finally, instead of eating everyday pancakes for breakfast with him, we can change that into eating something more healthier. In conclusion, I will try my best to keep my friend healthy. However, i'm sure if I had the same problem he would have done the same thing.

Sandy Day
On Friday August 7th, a huge sandstorm hit Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We get approximately 4 sandstorms a year, but this one was really dangerous and somehow scary.
I have woken up that day at 7 o'clock, it was a regular day; the sun was shining, and the sky was completley blue. On my way to school, I was on twitter just reading thoughts, someone tweeted that there's a huge sandstorm on it's way to Riyadh, and I totally ignored that. At lunch break, all the students are just running in the hall to get food from the cafeteria, as soon as we get outside the building it was completley orange, and we couldn't see anything. My really close friend, Ahmed, has asthma so it really bursted his mood. We started walking to the cafeteria to grab some food, and he was coughing the whole time. I really didn't pay attention for that. However, suddenly I see him lying on the floor, and he couldn't move at all. After that, I started yelling for help, so the teachers came and we carried him to the doctor.
The day passed by, and it was time to go back home. But the weather was only getting worse, and it took me like 30 minutes to find my driver. As soon as I get inside the car, a car bumps into us from behind. I got outside the car to check the damage but I couldn't see anything, and the driver who bumped into us has suddenly disappeared. My driver got paranoid and decided to park somewhere until the weather gets better. Finally, after waiting for about 2 hours we got back home safely.
In conclusion, this was the most adventurous day ever for me. But gladly, school got canceled on the next day.

Guided writing, page 67
Population on the Earth has reached 6.5 billion. Over population is a major problem nowadays, most of the countries are suffering from overcrowding.
The population in Saudi Arabia is rising over the years, and number of births has been increasing. If the population continues to grow, Saudi Arabia is going to face some major problems. Such as Poverty, lack of jobs, quality of education, and decrease of natural resources. Poverty is such a common problem in cities that has a lot of people, every city has it's level of poverty depending on the natural resources and job opportunities. After a while, there are going to be fewer jobs due to the large amount of people. In a result, bad habits starts popping out such as crimes, and stealing.
Education is essential in every country, and when having over capacity with students that means schools will be more crowded, and having less space for students. In addition, this lack of education will hunt children and adults for many generations.
The Earth has few amount of natural resources such as water, food, oil, and coal. If we keep using them in the same amount as we do now, we're going to have an enormous shortage that will lead to having fresh water crises.
All in all, we can save the world by changing our everyday's actions, and continue to teach people by letting them know about after effects of overpopulation.
