Most, however , do get up and walk around for a few seconds or for as long as half an hour .Sleepwalkers' eyes are open, but they don't see the same way they do when they're awake.They tend to go back to bed on their own and won't remember it in the morning.Y ou also might have heard that sleepwalkers can get frightened if you wake them up.That's true, so what do you do if you see someone sleepwalking?

I give her full credit for making me the person who I am today. T o thank her, I'd like to share some of the things she taught me.1No matter how hard things got, my mom could always joke about them. It has taught me things are never, ever, end-of-the-world kind of bad. I'm sure this has made me a more relaxed person.2My mother made her own clothes she felt like wearing. Soon enough, people asked her to make clothes, and it turned into a full-time business. That shows me how you can set up your own business by expressing yourself truthfully.3As a creative, my mother always encouraged us to do imaginative things for enjoyment and discouraged TV.

Not for her good, but for mine. I made my own decisions without her trying to manage me. Because of this, I grow up to be completely independent.5Growing up, I've made my fair share of mistakes.

All living things must have water to survive. Without water, your body would stop working. Water makes up more than half of your body weight.A person can’t survive for more than a few days without it. Why? Your body has lots of important jobs and it needs water to do many of them. For instance,your blood, which contains a lot of water, carries oxygen to all the cells of your body. Without oxygen your body would stop working.Your body doesn’t get water only from drinking water. But water and milk are the best choices. Other sports drinks, soda, pop, or a fruit-flavored drink,are not good for every day. Why? They have a lot of sugar, which means a lot of calories. But water has no calories! These sweet drinks also may lack the vitamins and minerals found in milk. Lots of foods contain water. Fruit and vegetables contain water, too.Since water is so important, you might wonder if you’re drinking enough. I n fact, we can’t tell how much water that kids need to drink every day. Usually, kids like to drink something with meals and should certainly drink when theyare thirsty. But when it’s warm or you’re having exercise, you’ll need more. Be sure to drink some extra water when you’re out in warm weather, especially while playing sports.When you drink is also important. If you’re going to sports practice, a game, or just working out or playing hard, drink water before, during, and after playing.or playing hard, drink water before, during, and after playing.( )36.

He was a new player in 2009, and had already served the New York Jets. One day, the football team called him to be back again. But Fitzhugh refused.“I know it would be a good chance,” Fitzhugh said. “But you only get one mom and one dad. I’d rather be there for my parents than go for a sup er star chance.”Fitzhugh knows that his time with the Jets could last as little as a few weeks. Though he loves football, supporting his family is more important to him. He was unemployed by Jets for months after his last time on the football field. Now he has a steady job as a railway conductor which his parents hope him to have. He lives with his family and helps to support his mother and father.The family is close-especially since the death of Fitzhugh’s younger sister. She died from the West Nile Virus at the age of 14, just as Fitzhugh was starting college.“That’s why I’m so strong about being around family now,” Fitzhugh said. “Life is short. You never know what will happen. When I was unemployed, my family was there for me. I don’t want to take a risk.
