My daily routine starts with getting out of bed and going to brush my teeth. I then will fix my hair while i’m in the bathroom. After that i’ll go put on the outfit I picked out last night. I will then head into my kitchen and make my breakfast, so while i’m in there i’ll make my lunch too. I’ll sit down at the table and eat my usual toast with peanut butter and a smoothie. When i’m finished with that i get a cup of water to hydrate myself. Once i’m ready to leave i’ll make sure I have all my books and binders in my bag. I’ll get my bag making sure to grab my lunch and head out the door and head to school.

Answer:
A. to join independent clauses that appear to be connected by a conjunctive adverb
Explanation:
A semicolon is the symbol ";" and it is used in a variety of situations:
- to separate a series/list that already includes commas
<em>e.g. I travelled to Miami, Florida; Austin, Texas; and Los Angeles, California.</em>
- to join independent clauses that are closely related in thought:
<em>e.g. When I arrived, I thought I would have time to buy a snack; I didn't.</em>
- and many more
However, the main usage of a semicolon is joining independent clauses that "appear to be connected by a conjunctive adverb":
<em>e.g. She didn't study; </em><em>thus</em><em>, she failed the test.</em>
<em />
The answer is A.
In this excerpt from <em>A World Without Collisions</em>, Sam describes how he dreams the world to be in the future. I think his main idea has good intentions, he feels sorry for those who get hurt in "learning how to live life". He also seems to think that everybody should take control of their lives and don't be just a victim on everything that happens. This way of thinking has good intentions, but it is not always realistic or even easy to do.
First of all, unexpected things happen in life and some are pretty big and sad, and we do not control everything that happens around us. It is true that we can try and control our emotions in order to feel better, but not what happens outside our bodies. The thing is also, we can chose not to be victims, but it is healthy sometimes to embrace the bad feelings to because only by accepting our sadnesses or pains is that we will be able to move forward. If we deny this bad feeling, our bodies will eventually speak for us and show us that we have been hiding important issues that we should face. I agree, we should "dance life like champions", but doing so is also embracing the bad feelings, connecting with them, and get pass through them. We ARE going to get hurt "in all that bumping" and it is ok.
