Greatest High School Achievement

i honestly think my greatest high school achievement would have to be getting passed all the drama in life and staying the same but growing up for the past four years. in high school being yourself is hard. people judge you and put you in a group and when that happens you as a person in the never ending cycle start to believe that is who you are. so that is my greatest high school achievement.

Video Games in School Curriculum

Video games shouldn't be able to be used in school. One reason is because it's a reason why children are so lazy. Another reason is because taking away video games is a Consequence. If students have video games at school regardless whether it is educational or for fun, it's still on the kid's mind. The Aspect of video games is to relax after work or homework. I will admit that video games are a good Feature for problem solving, I still think it's a huge distraction.

how have i changed?

As a freshmen I was a bit too much for people. I'd always be hyper and just too happy all the time. I kept the same friends as well as make new ones. I have grown into a fine person who makes a mistake and learns from them most of the time. I use to scream when someone was teasing me, now it just passes over my head. I learned that it was ok to feel, to lean on others, to be curious and to learn. I also learned that it was ok to be afraid. When I look back, I only remember the good times I've been through. The reason for this is because I know it feels to be stuck on something that happened long ago. When you hold on to that thread, then your relationships with people around you start to spiral out of control. My sophomore was about the saom as my freshmen year but better.

JCCS Academic Language Written Assessment Week 37

Should the fast food industry be allowed to target kids with unhealthy meal choices? The fast food industry should be allowed to give food. One reason is because, in THEORY it is the parent's fault if the child is "out" of shape. Another reason is selling fast food is how they make money to the SECTION of little kids and teens. it helps adults be able to feed their hungry kid(s) and its not the food industry fault that a child is obesity. Also, now days the food industries are trying to make it healthier.

SPA Policy Blog Paragraph

One policy that i wish could be changed is being too confined and self passes. Currently these policies state that the foster kids live in the middle of nowhere and can't have the freedom of feeling like a teen with some way of connecting with the outside world instead of waiting for the weekend to feel a smudge of normal. One reason it should be changed is because the foster teens are becoming young adults and are trying to find a way to find their rightful place in this place called society. Also, foster teens need to feel as normal as they can because the situation they are in is not. I know from experience that it is hard to feel normal when being in a place such as SPA. I long to be "free" in the world but alas i have to wait to make my statement in the society. If this policy was changed then i would feel a smudge better about being a "new adult" that's still treated as a kid.

America

American students are not falling behind academically compared to students in other countries.One reason is we have better resources and DATA at hand. Another reason is because we Americans care about education more than helping out our fellow countries, plus a person can't live without a job and the person can't get a job without education. Which there are a RANGE of jobs where education is needed. Additionally, Americans children aren't actually getting smarter or dumber. In conclusion, American students are not falling behind academically COMPARED to students in other countries.
