Persuasive Essay

    Have you been feeling sick lately? Do you know someone who is sick?  The answers to these questions would most likely be yes from most people.  Lately the flu and cold has been going around. Some people might think that just laying in bed is the cure, but no you should see a doctor right away.  If you feel even a little sick the best thing to do is go and see a doctor. Too many students are getting sick that its affecting their education.  How you may ask?  Being sick causes kids to stay out of school and miss out on a lot of work. 

   Another reason that you should get checked up as soon as your feeling sick is because the sickness spreads and it causes teachers to be out as well.  Also the sickness may not be only the flu or cold but may be something that is contagious and worst.

student reaches peace

   This morning I picked up the newspaper and right in front I saw my classmate Christiana W.. Once I saw her pcture I wanted to read amd find out what was the reason. So i fnally read the headline.  I then read through the article and found out that a student of our school had been struck by a car.  I was curi0ous to know if I had her in a class or if I knew her in some way.  During school tears and frown were coming from some students and teachers.  Students were sitting down crying, while other were trying to comfort her friends.  For some students and teachers they were welcomed into the library to talk to counselors.  Sometimes people just need to express their feelings during times like this. 

   A concern I have is how did she get hit?  was she not looking both ways?  I kept asking myself how do people get hit by a car?  Do they just walk without using a crosswalk?  or without looking both ways?  Safety doesn’t come to a kids mind when hanging out with friends, or just having fun.  This tragedy will really open people eyes especially parents when they let their kids go out with their friends.  It will make parents more aware of what their kids are doing, and they will be more concerned about the place their at and the things their child is doing.

Favorite Movie

  My favorite movie would have to be Night At The Museum.  The reason I like this movie is because there wasn’t a time when there wasn’t action going on.  In other movies you sit and watch boring parts every now and then.  In this movie is makes you jump in your seat, anxious to know whats about to happen next.  I think people should watch this movie if they enjoy action and adventure.  It is also a little bit of comedy. 

   The movies is mainly about a man who keeps loosing his job, but in order to have his son with him or be able to see him he has to keep a steady job.  So the main character applies to become a security guard.  He was told that the other security guards didn’t last with the job.  He wondered why and took the job.  The trick was that everything in the museum came alive one the museum shut down.  The question is, will he last with the job?

News Article

  This paragraph is about the water pressure being picked up in the village of Santa Rita.  It was said that the water was 3 psi and the normal is 25 psi.  This must mean that the water pressure was like drips.  What got my attention was how i read it was fixed by the repair of leaks, and the opening of new water lines.  The people in the village had really low pressure for about 6 weeks. The question is why did it take so long to repair?  Was it worked on right away?  or was it held back until later?

   I disagree knowing instead of 25psi they were given 30psi.  I’m not sure what this means, but it seems like their getting more and it might lower the pressure of other villages sharing the water.  Know that they get water from the Navy makes it better because the more water and its lowering the price.  I agree that their working on leaks in other villages that are currently flowing because the longer they wait and make the water go to waste, the more its going to cost. 

Halloween and The Improvements Needed at UMS

  For Halloween I didn’t go trick-o-treatin.  I went with my mom, dad, and little brother to GPO. At GPO I saw so many different Halloween costumes.  There were so many kids and parents going from store to store collecting treats.  I enjoyed looking at all the different costumes and watching people make fun and jokes.  I think the store that gave the best treats was Twinkles.  They were giving out toys.

  At Untalan Middle School I think that what could be improved for student activities is they should have more than just a dance.  I understand that there are a lot of students that don’t deserve it, but they allow it for those who do.  They should give more activities such as:  dress down, parade of costumes, and distributing treats.  If not a spirit week at least a dress down on Halloween and allow students to show off their costumes.
