“Through the Tunnel” Prove Yourself Paragraph

When I was beginning to be a part of my step team a time where I felt like I needed to prove a point. My goal was to get off of two-hour and make a good example for my team, I had to study hard, focus more in class, and ask teachers for help when needed. I ended up getting off of two-hour for taking responsibility in my actions. I felt accomplished when it came down to it, because I was thee only one on the step team that didn't have bad grades. Now I feel like I can always stay ahead of my game and get an even higher progress next time, also help my teamates take responsibility.

Academic Language Week 13 - Video Games

I think that violent games do not contribute to youth violence. Parents INTERPRET their kids actions and what they do all the time. The kids might have enough tolerence and are able to play a game, knowing their place in actual life. Another reson is that when kids invovle themselves in a game they have common sense in what games to pick. These are some reasons why I think that kids don;t get effected by violent video games.

The Storyteller" Another Point of View

I am so annoyed by these kids and them not corroporating. They didn't listen to me every time I said, "Don't, their remarkes would always be, "Why?" They did not like my stories. They would fuss and scream and move around all the time just to be more datached from my storytelling. A man sitting in our party, a bachelor thought he could most definitley outdue me in storytelling. In my opinion it was the most improper story to tell little kids.Maybe he did do me aa favor for keeping them quiet, it was'nt in his place.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 12: Veterans Day

I honestly don't think that I'd be intrested in joining any force that serves this country. I feel like it would just be a waste of my time, and I'd probably be to scared. I appreciate the fact that my aunt served in the navy for about ten years. This shows that she's pround of the place she's born in, so I can understand why she would want to serve in the military. If I was to be in a position were I had to choose I would choose the,  Coast Guard because I would want to be around the place that I live.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 11: Sports & Grades

Student athletes should not be required to have good grades to play sports. One reason is anything their learning in a class should'nt have to do with them playing a sport. Another reason is they don't need school intelligents as much as they need the sport intelligents. In ordeer to help student athletes, schools should let them know what their boundries are when it comes to playing a sport.

Academic Language Week 11 - Health Care

Yes, I feel all Americans should have the right to free health care. Well to SUMMARIZE it, they might not have money. The EVIDENCE that people have for getting this treatment more easily is the fact that they're born here. The biggest ISSUE that people have are that they are more immune to the heatlh here, so when it comes up, It'll be easier to handle. These are some reasons why I feel as if America should have free health care.

Internet Safety Project - Public or Private Profile

I think students should set their profiles as private. This is so because, they should be able to feel safe without someone creeping on them. Also they won't have all of their stuff out in the open, I also think that people don't know lots of people that look at their profiles. So I believe that students should be more careful and lock their profiles.

At the end of  the day I took a shower and got out my clothes for school, then went to bed.
