In eighth grade, I had a difficult project that needed precise and accurate work. Our project was to make a ramp. The ramp needed to be a meter stick long exactly. The ramp could be a centimeter off or a millimeter off or we would get points deducted. The ramp also needed to show the difference of kinetic and potential energy. Everyone gather for a partner and I had Ricky for a partner. Ricky seemed to have everything set for him from his second mom who had a lot of crafting arts for us to use. The idea we had was a racing ramp, to show speed. We used wood for our ramp and to hold it down. The idea was completely set, and we were going to do this. The only problem we had was that I went to the wrong house.
When I went to his house he was not there, so i called him. He said "No I'm at Dama's house." Which was an even farther run from here than I expected. I felt that I miscalculated, and that i needed to run so we can finish this project. I ran from one side of the city basically to the other. When I reached his house, the project was close to finished, and all that needed to be done was to apply a sliding ramp, a toy car to show kinetic and potential energy, and a paint job for the wood. The paint had an odor that smelled awful. We finished everything we needed to do and we just needed to present it for class the next day.
School had started, and we had our project ready to go. Everyone looked at our project because it was so over-sized and could hurt somebody if it fell on them. Our teacher checked to see if our project was a meter long exactly and it turned out to be off my one measely centimeter. Our teacher said it was the closest ramp that was a meter stick out of the school so he did not deduct any points. It was a really tough problem making it exactly one meter long, but in the end it was a vast amount of effort that made the whole project successful.

Vast mysteries!
People throughout the years explored the different areas of the world in many ways. People have a curious mind, and they explore and find a vast amount of land. What made them want to devote to such a feat? What were their methods to get to other places? Did they accomplish what they truly acquired?
Why do people explore? People explore the land for their curious minds. There are people who wonder about the outside world that were not showed to them, so they search for what they seek. People want to find something exotic that they have never laid their eyes on and that grasps their attention. Other people do not want to do it for exploration, but for a challenge. They want to go on an adventure that makes them struggle and make them feel accomplished. Other people do not go on the search for land or a challenge but for personal gain. Some people might do it for a sense of accomplishment that they were to do something difficult. Other people might have done it for a search in knowledge or a true meaning in life. The reasons for a search to other lands are endless, and there are many reasons for others' reason for exploration.
To travel to other lands depends on what obstacles are in the way. Traveling only a short distance could be traveled on foot, car, or quick transportation methods. Traveling a farther distance, like across the sea perhaps, would require either a boat or an airplane. Traveling could be easy depending on how many ways that the person may travel.
What gave them devotion to travel? Most people travel because they gain something in the end. People love being rewarded for what they do, and knowing they get something great in the end of this gives them great motivation to see this through to the end. People are determined to see what amazing reward they get in return.
People start off with a goal to do what they want. If there is any possibility to do it and a reward then they will devote everything to what they want to achieve.
