Constitutional Amendments
If I got to add a constitutional amendment there would be a lot of ideas that I would have. The amendment that I would have to make is to outlaw smoking all together. Smoking is so bad for your body. When you smoke, you do not live as long. When someone smokes their lungs turn black and it is hard for them to breath and work. I am not as concerned for those people because it is their choice whether they smoke or not. I am more concerned about the people that live with the smokers or the people that have to be around them. Second- hand smoke is the worst for people because that smoke is unfiltered. It still has all of the yucky stuff that is in cigarettes. Recently, smoking has been banned from public places. I don't think that is good enough. It doesn't matter where you are, there are cigarettes littering the streets. In public when I walk past a person smoking it is one of the worst feelings in my life because of the smell and how it makes me feel like my throat is closing. When my sister walks by someone smoking she coughs as loud as she can. She thinks if she does this than maybe they will get the point that it is bad for other people. I feel as though if I outlaw smoking, people will still buy it, just illegally. I think it would be best for everyone is smoking was against the law.

Believing Again
I wish I could believe in Superman again. As a child Superman was one of my biggest idols. He was the whole package, he could fly, he was super strong, faster than a speeding bullet, and he had laser coming out of his eyes. Superman saved the innocent and put the "bad people" in jail. By day he was just a reporter, but by night he was a crime fighting machine. I thought it was awesome how he changed in a phone booth and how he had a double identity. It was very entertaining to watch the different shows about him with all of his different enemies. In different shows they made up new characters, but the main ones were always the same. Clark Kent falls in love with Lois Lane while battling Lex Luther. Superman set the bar pretty high for all of the crime fighters and that was why I loved him. I know now that there is no possible way that a person could fly or shoot lasers out of their eyes. I would like to believe it again experience the hopefulness all over again.

Appearances
I know people that are big on the outside and little on the inside. They act all big and tough, when really they aren't as confident as they seem. They only put on a show, sometimes to be like the people that they hang out around. I know people that are little on the outside and big on the inside. One person I know is very small, but she has the heart of a lion. I know another person that is very shy and she doesn't like to talk to others, but on the inside she is outgoing and smart. I think physical appearances can be related to a person's personality. I don't think it happens for anyone in the middle of the looks scale, but it can for people who are either very pretty or not good looking. If you are pretty and you know it, that will most likely make you personality more confident and sure. If you aren't the best looking person then you probably won't feel good about yourself and that would reflect on your personality. You might be more antisocial if you don't feel confident about yourself. If people's interior beauty was directly related to their external appearance people would look a lot different. Some people are "fake" and if this were true people would have to be honest all of the time. There would be no more putting on a show and no more hiding who you really are. This would not be a good thing for a lot of people. Then their fear of people seeing who you actually are would come true. Sometimes hiding things is to keep yourself safe or the others around you safe. Either way I don't think that it's right. These are my thoughts on other peoples appearances inside and out.
