Prompt 22 WordCount: 214

Many people would not mind having beauty during high school where almost everything is controlled by peer pressure. But in the long run when people start living in the real world and going to college I think then Brains would take place in real life. I also hear people saying they can be a model.

No one would mind to have beauty; you will be greatly adored if you have a good personality to go alone with the beauty. But what many people don’t realize that high school is supposed to prepare you for college. So who is going to care and look at you everyday just because you are beautiful. I think people should not pay attention to how they look and focus on what is important for their future and that is to have a good life and a high paying job.

This does not mean it is impossible for someone to model, but there is a very low percentage of people that have made it in the model industry. These people should also consider all the other people in the world that work hard and are trying to achieve the same goal. I believe over all, you still have to be smart in order to do anything In life now days.

Prompt 21 WordCount: 175

Rosie the Riveter

I think women have the right to do what ever they want to, women have the capabilities to achieve what they want. Women also dream of their perfect life and job such as men do. Women have been going on strikes in all of history women suffrage was developed because of so many protest and strikes for the right and privileges of women, instead of being house wives.

There is an example of women that helped with World War II and one of them was a woman by the name of Rosie the Riveter. She was one of the first women to work in the mechanics to make plains and ships for the war. Just from these women, all the other women put their kids in daycare, stopped cleaning their house and went to join and help the war.

Many people did not understand the meaning of the word suffrage during the protest. Many of the men thought the women were in pain, but they misunderstood, the women just wanted more rights.

Prompt 19

I believe White was right about the forecast and understand that television twist the true meaning of joy through endless action and drama everyday on the television set. People will eventually get bored of reality in real life and will seek endless action through television set. TV is brainwashing people and the way they think about everyday life. TV is supposed to have everyday problems so the Americans can feel as if they are not in their own. Television is a fantasy world made to put people in a different dimension.

In the 1930s most of the Americans go to the movie theaters so they can get out of their regular daily problems. The same concept goes for TV, watching TV is sort of like a recharge for some people and it makes them feel good just for that moment of time. You can say people get high from watching TV and when the TV is off then it is natural to go back to the low stage. TV is also like a drug to people you get so moved when watching TV, It is almost like a fantasy world. Many young people take their examples from television nowadays.

Prompt 18 Word Count: 87

In conclusion I like to be alone sometimes but it would be nice if I had a spouse. But there is always the choice of going back to college and getting a degree in something in order to keep moving in life. I believe no one wants the feeling of being alone in life unless they know who God is. But if speaking for a person with no religion what so ever, he or she must go school in order to keep moving.

Prompt 17 Word Count: 176

I believe it is never too late even for adults to go to school in order for them to get an education. Nowadays it is common for teen students to learn side by side in college with older adults. It only matters whether the adult wants to keep learning or not depending on how many degrees the person wants.

The older students must face many conditions that teen students don’t have to face anymore, which is fatigue, usual soreness and sleepiness. While teens still have the natural energy and quick ability to learn.

Older adults can effect and help society a lot, the education is limitless and adults have the ability to teach young students about future problems and many other facts about life. This opportunity will only come by the will of the teen whether he or she is mature enough to listen.

I believe is would also do the same as him, I think it was the only choice he had and he abided by it. In situations like his, you must do lots of critical thinking.

Prompt 16 Word Count:200

Fishing, I think fishing clears the mind and relaxes the body. It gives off an emotion of peace, silence and much more. I love it when I throw my fishing line very far into the water until it hits the bottom. Then lay a nice fluffy blanket on the soft grass and lay there. My body will stay on the blanket until I hear the fishing poles flexible bending sound, which is created when a fish bites on the line and pulls.

Then it is very meaningful to me when I am with my family while fishing, because I rarely get to spend time with all of them because basically all of them work to survive, and provide for the family of their own. My father works along with my mother, then comes along my sister who is a nurse, then the last is my brother which is an art designer.

So it is truly an honor to spend time fishing with them especially the fact that I like fishing, even if I am alone at the lake. Fishing is my true hobby and I thank the lord for it because every time I go fishing, I feel like my own guardian angel is right along side with me.

Prompt 15 President Word Count:214

If I were to be elected president, the first three things that I will do, and which is dearest to me is to clean up the environment so the world can be a better place. I will posses all the people that need community service and get them strait to work. They will be picking up all the trash on the ground, then to paint all the graffiti on walls. This objective will be continuous considering that there are so many people in the world.

The second thing that would do is to clear up all employment. I want all big companies to move to my country, so that people will have jobs. There are so many people with very little education, but they are still human and need to eat and drink like everybody else’s.

The third thing that I would do is to clear up inflation; many stores are not putting up fair prices for food. There would not be a problem with inflation in stores if people can distribute their monthly check for food, and even for a family. The check does not cover for all bills that a person must pay every year. So I will either lower taxes or enforce stores to lower the prices on foods.

Prompt 14 Holiday Word Count: 216

My favorite holiday is Christmas, and my least favorite holiday is thanksgiving. I remember an experience I had with my family on Christmas time. Everybody was in the living room; my brother and I were wrestling in the hallway. The Christmas tree was in the center of the whole living room. Every year, my mother would play Christmas songs on the stereo. My brother and I got carried away with wrestling and he accidentally pushed me too hard and I landed on the tree. My brother and I were laughing so hard because my mom was chasing us all over the house. Eventually she got tired and looked for an item to throw at us, but she failed and sat back down on the couch.

One of my least memorable holidays was on thanksgiving. My whole family spent Thanksgiving at grandpa’s house. There were lots of food especially turkey and gravy, the usual main meal. I was so hungry that day, thinking if I don’t eat breakfast and just wait for supper time. Then I can enjoy the food more. My plan failed because I got so hungry that I actually got sick and had to eat bread for an entire week because I would just throw up other food that I would try to consume.

Prompt 13 Drinking Word Count:300

Teens under the age of 18 or older should not even be drinking it is their fault that they have even done it. I don’t think parents should be punished or should take all of the blame for kids to drink. They know better not to it is their choice whether they want to follow it or not. The mother that provided the booze to the kids thought it was safe and she even took all of their keys to make sure. In the end a couple died because they drove while intoxicated. This incident cannot be excused it was the parents fault that provided the booze and she should get the worst possible consequence.

In the other hand it is not just parents providing booze to their kids, teens will be asking others that are already 18 years or older to buy it for them. Manly it is about choice. It is really the teen that wants to drink and they should suffer the consequence. I would want to band alcohol but it will just lead back to the old days when the government tried to band alcohol which led the creation of the bar where everybody can get alcohol without getting into trouble. This led to more violence because Americans wanted to have it. So the government ended up bringing back alcohol to even out problems, which goes all the way back to parents raising the children right and making sure they make good choices.

Parents and teens should get the same consequence due to the irresponsibility of parenthood. I would say the government and law should not be easy on any teen which drinks because later on in life they will only want more. They should be punished in the beginning so they wont do it again.

Prompt 12 CHANGES Word Count:188

If it weren’t for that extra time I spent playing soccer on Sunday, I wouldn’t be stuck in a pickle. Everybody plays soccer Sunday night just to get the feeling as if there were no school tomorrow. Lot of people want to place themselves in a different time dimension when it comes to going back to school and that is why soccer is a very good place to get away from school. But since I had to join everybody at the soccer field to play soccer, I did not get to study very long and that is bad because in order to get good grades at Weimar, I must spend every moment studying school and the bible. I do not think it was worth it now that I have a lot of things due on Monday, all thanks to playing soccer on a Sunday night. And that’s how I ended up duct taped to the situation with playing soccer on Sunday night. My lesson was learned and that was not to have a social life until I get out of school and have a perfect bond with God.

Prompt 11 The Great survive word count:: 228

I think everyone has the potential for greatness but in order for them to officially be called great; they must have a very similar characteristic such as all the other great people have in history.

The first step to greatness is to have a communication with God, in order to obtain the wisdom and knowledge that God will grant if asked and believed. Wisdom does not mean a person is smart or very wise. Wisdom, as a Christian and in the eyes of a great leader means that a person is being led by the powerful God to do his work and is going the right path.

The second step to greatness is the ability to listen to other people. Swift to hear but slow to react and go into conclusions. Listening is one of the most valuable things person should have in order to become a great leader. If the people in Jesus time had listened carefully to Jesus then they would have known that he is the one and only true God.

The last step to achieving greatness as well as a leader is to take charge. When a person knows something does not feel right or knows the truth and understands that the situation he or she is in is not right, then it is their responsibility to step up and be a little dogmatic.

Prompt #10 Tilapia

It has been discovered by an American that Tilapia from China carries some sort of disease which causes the fish to die very easily. The word did not spread through the news because only one man knew about it. He tried numerous ways to warn other people that the Tilapia from China is not as fresh as it used to be. No one believed him until another person had figured out the same concept. So then they worked together and were both trying to warn the people in stores not to buy the Tilapia. Suddenly others started to agree with their discovery and they started warn. In the end all of the people in stores went on strike to lower the price on tilapia due to its condition. All in all the people got what they wanted and now almost all Asian markets lowered their price on Tilapia.
“A person is a person, no matter how small.”

I remember when I was walking on the sidewalk and I thought it was my friend. I waved at him and said Hello but as I walked closer the face structure seemed to look different. Then I realized that it was just a stranger on the street. He looked back at me weird as if I was lost and I felt so embarrassed.

I also remember when I came to school with a white T-Shirt. It was stained with a brown color on the back and everybody was laughing at me for the whole day and I did not know why. Until one of my best friends whispered in my ear that my shirt was stained I was so embarrassed for the whole day.

Prompt 7 Be True to your self Word Count: 161

“To thine own self be true”

Some people act and do what other people think but don’t express how they really are. Many people are pressed down by peer pressure and feel beleaguered if he or she is not in the latest fashion. The fashion can go many different ways such as fashion in clothes or shoes, or even a hair style. This is how powerful peer pressure is. Peer pressure only applies to some people not to all.

Shakespeare says to thine own self be true, I think this saying means express yourself how you really feel, not how what other people feel about you. A person can find true friends when he or she is expressing themselves truly. Peer pressure attracts the wrong people most of the time, not including that person trying to act some way for a certain person. So basically act the way you want no matter what people think of you.

Suspension Prompt 6 word count 197

There was a time I was lost and confused, and it was during math class when I was only a sophomore. The math class was so hard that I could not keep up and so I gave up and went to sleep. Then I was sent to the office because I could not follow orders which were to listen to the teacher in class. This led me to suspension, “I have never felt so confused in my life.”

Tuesday, it was 6th period the last class of the day and I was tired because of P.E a due to playing basketball. So by then my arms and legs failed on me, in a way which it can move but does not want to. The subject was geometry and it was one of the hardest lessons out of the whole school year. Everybody in the class did not understand, most of them gave up but did not sleep like what I did. So I was the only one that put my head down and went to sleep due to fatigue. Then the teacher caught me and I was sent to the office. This led to my suspension.

What's my style? Prompt 5 word count 339

1- Micro trends- a style or a rise in a less important fashion in America


2- I think micro trends under 30 and high earners are growing in America because of the constant style changes and trends. It doesn’t matter how old you are now days, if you have the key to success or if someone writes a book about the key to success then you withhold your future. This is the American dream for most Americans now days, and that is to get rich but be young.


3- Hilary Clinton hired Penn for campaign because of his persuading and convincing negotiations. He shows America the latest style or trend and what the average American is doing in this generation. He had the key to change society if he wanted to, people says Penn’s writing is more of a culture because he can blind so good through his writing.


4- The effects of a free society are monopoly, chaos and the freedom to do what ever when ever. Also a style can occur anytime of the year and it can influence anybody anywhere.



5- I think Penn’s book was a published as a political pun to increase the votes of Clinton because there is nothing better then to blind society as well as the Americans. Penn’s writing makes it convincing for Americans to find a leader that will provide to the Americans needs; such as the famous quote “it’s a free country.” So that’s is why it is a double meaning because to provide the needs for Americans and to provide the need for Clinton


6- Yes I do have a micro trend to cite because everything I do and what everybody does has to reflect god. This can be thought as a style to others because of the famous quote, “everybody’s doing it.” The style for school is tucked in shirt and a nice pair of pants everyday. Then for vespers and Sabbath has to be extra special because it will be a reflection of god.

9/11/01 Prompt (4)

It was Sep 11th 2001 going to school on a cold day with some mist in the sky. Today seemed strange everybody looked sad as I slowly walked in the quad. The first thing that comes to mind was “what happened?” so one of my friends said something happened in New York specifically in the world trade center. The twin towers were just shot down by high jacked planes. Strange feelings that came to mind like who, what and why. At the same time I felt very confused but sad for the people that were in New York when it happened.

America should not forget this tragic incident and should be printed in all American history books as a reminder. To all the people that Bin laden connote be trusted and the reason why history books were made was to not repeat history in the first place. So this will go in the books as when we were attacked by terrorist.

There are lots of bad people out there and bin laden was one of them. America should not forgive bin laden but to have peace with people in Iraq and Afghanistan. The people had nothing to do with it; bin laden was the only one behind it. If this situation was negotiated by Christians, there would be a very big opposition then what America would do.

Relaxation p(3)

This weekend was exceptionally long but fun with lots of blessings from friends and staff. I loved the nice windy beach, warm sand and hot sun. The water is cold for the first two minutes but wares off and your body comes to a numbing point. As you get out of the freezing cold water and lay on the soft and white sand, your body comes to nice warm feeling. Almost as if you were on a quiet stranded island relaxing under the sun.

Being able to sit around the camp fire and tell stories was the best part, aside from playing games in the dark with no flashlight. The fire wood always burned slow as everyone tries to warm themselves up after going to the beach. I always wished that time would go by even slower when it comes to sitting around the camp fire. The next camping trip should be even better then the first.

Immigration (p) 2

I Think illegal immigration is OK because everybody is on the same vote when I comes to freedom and looking for a better life. I think that is what the whole country is all about and that is chance. People grow up in America and still become a nobody and a person from another country comes along and makes a business out of nothing. But there is a little problem about too many immigrants and then they demand for a raise and better work conditions. The illegal immigrants are forgetting the fact that they are so lucky to be in the U.S instead of their own country where people are starving everyday with no food and getting water from the roots in the ground.

The roots from the ground are very bitter and some don’t even eat for a week strait. They live by eating coal and because of that many people that live in poor countries die. so the illegal immigrant should never forget that they should not complain what they have or don’t have in the U.S because in other places people don’t have anything at all so they cant even complain.I do not think it is right to send people back to their own country if their root is America because that is just disrespect. One of my opinions are to negotiate about the problems with the illegal immigrants themselves face to face. But another option is to charge a lot of money with lots of test to see if the immigrants are even worthy enough to be in America so we have a guarantee that that person will become a somebody and get a job, not to be a slob.

I do not agree with the stance of president Felipe because he is a negotiator and tried the best he can and got a lot of supports but there are some limits that he cannot pass.
