Maggie and I’s friendship is very enjoyable and it would be the most amazing to spend all of our time together. However, time is something we cannot create or destroy and we have to make enough time for others, family, school and hobbies. Time is a factor in our friendship where I wish we had more of. I am always so sad when she has to go home on Sunday or we can’t hangout, but this is all because of the factor that cycles through everything else we both have to do. Similar in ecosystems, matter and energy cycles through the organisms and eventually gets back to the beginning point. The amount of energy never changes; it is just moved, and the amount of matter never changes; it only shifts forms. Like this, the amount of time there never changes, always 24 hours in a day, but what we do with that time is what cycles through. We cycle through hanging out with each other, being with family and focusing on other hobbies. Our parents are like the producers of the time me and Maggie have together. They allow us to hangout together and provide that time. This is similar to how the producers of an ecosystem make that energy that then gets spread throughout. When our time together is up our hobbies and school work is what takes up our time next. These hobbies are the consumers of that time and what drive the daily schedules for each day. We both keep going through all the different time fillers, but the amount of time never changes, it's only what we do in that time that cycles through our lives. Matter and energy cycles through ecosystems and keeps that balance going and time is what moves Maggie’s and I’s lives outside from each other so we can keep everything balanced and together.
