The Boat (100 Word Story)<br />

The time I went on the Princess cruise was a time to remember, and not in<br />

the good way. First, most of our bags were lost, so we had to go to dinner<br />

in sweatpants. Then, we had the Loudest neighbors ever. I thought there<br />

was a hundred of. Throughout the entire day, they were being loud and not<br />

considering what the people around them through. I'm all fairness, they<br />

sounded like they were 5. And to wrap it all up, I had an ear infection and I<br />

was stuck in bed for 2 days, and got no sleep. None.


The Slide (Hundred Word Story)<br />

The time I went down a waterslide in Belize was probably one of the<br />

most terrifying things that I’ve ever done. I’m not talking about one of the 20<br />

feet tall water slide. I'm talking about a creaking, 150 feet tall slide. The<br />

stairs that you have to climb up to the slide seem to go on forever. Once<br />

you look over the edge of the slide, it seems like it will take house just to<br />

bottom. But the rush you get going over, it is all worth it. And it's the best<br />

thing in the world

Vaccinations<br />

A vaccination is the injection of a killed or weakened organism that produces immunity in<br />

the body against that organism. An immunization is the process by which a person or animal<br />

becomes protected from a disease. It is a killed or weakened organism that is injected into the<br />

body to help strengthen the immune systems. They prevent series disease such as polio,<br />

measles, diphtheria, pertussis, rubella, mumps, tetanus, rotavirus and Haemophilus influenzae<br />

type b. The vast majority of the over one billion doses of vaccines manufactured worldwide each<br />

year are given to healthy babies, children and adults. So, it is critical that vaccines be<br />

demonstrated to be safe and effective. Newborns often are immune to certain diseases,<br />

because they inherited antibiotics from their mother when they are born. One of the more<br />

interesting facts is that the antibiotic has some of the disease it prevents in it. For example, the<br />

antibiotic that prevents measles has the measle virus in it. But it is killed or weakened so much,<br />

that it doesn't cause the disease anymore. They are strong enough to make the immune<br />

systems stronger, even to the point of immunity of that disease. It is also used as a child's first<br />

exposure to the disease, and is much safer and helps the child body grow rather than be<br />

destroyed. It is the safer option because often, the disease that vaccinations prevent can cause<br />

hospitalization, and even premature death. All in all, vaccinations have helped prevent some<br />

very bad disease, and is one of the most helpful medicals advances to date.<br />
