Geneticist Creates First Synthetic Cell
The creation of the first synthetic cell will affect the world drastically in a positive way. "Venter is creaking open the most profound door in humanity's history, potentially peeking into its destiny,” says an Oxford professor. The first synthetic cell is proven to be a way to help breakdown the greenhouse gases in our atmosphere that cause global warming. Once more synthetic cells are made; scientist will be able to hopefully find a solution for the holes being formed in our ozone. The synthetic cell will also help speed up the production of vaccines. Doing that more lives will be saved and protected from illness and vaccines will be made for diseases scientists haven't found a cure for yet.

Summer
I'm really looking forward to this summer. Staying up all night and sleeping in all day. Bonfires, and going to the beach, swimming and tanning. No homework, no stress and there really isn’t that many rules amd parents are a lot more careless.
My favorite thing to do in the summer is go to my lake house. I spend most of my summer there, and it’s really fun. I usually bring a friend or two with me. We swim and tan all day, go tubbing and jetsking and do flips off the dock. Almost every night we have a big bonfire and make s’mores! If it’s colder we go in the hot tub. Fourth of July is my favorite day in the summer. Everyone decorates there boat in a theme. My favorite was the Sponge Bob themed boat we see every year. Basically during the day you drive around in your boat and throw water balloons at other boats. It’s really fun! At night we take our boat out in the middle of the lake and watch the fireworks. They are amazing and huge! But every year there’s always the stupid intoxicated people that set their house on fire with fireworks or decide to swim in the middle of the lake at two in the morning. Last year there were two houses that caught fire.
What I’m looking forward to the most in the summer is going back to Denver! I went over Spring Break and my parents are sending me back this summer. I really want to go to Vail- a ski town in the Rocky Mountains and go shopping again in Downtown Denver. My cousins also said that we were going to drive down to the desert.
I love going on vacation in the summer! Last summer I sent to Mackinac Island. It was really fun because you could walk everywhere and not have to worry about cars. I liked having to take a horse wherever you went or biking. The island was really pretty; there were a lot of flowers and plants. I didn’t really like that a lot of things looked old fashion. My favorite part was the fudge! I went to one of the hundreds of fudge shops on the island and they had tons of flavors! My favorite was chocolate peanut butter. But there were also some strange ones like orange, and apple.
There’s only about a month and a half left of school and I can’t wait for summer!
