What is your most indispensable possession and why?

I tend to love everything I get or have from anyone that means something to me. For example, if I get a necklace I will ware it and take care of it or keep it some where safe. I like to keep memories, I have a little box full of memories that just make life full of joy and happiness. I keep the flowers that my boyfriend give me, and every single letter that my bestfriend has writen me. I like to think of the past as all good memories that I wish never ended and not think about the bad ones as much.

Junk food should be banned from high school vending machines. For example, the government puts limits on schools vending machines so that they can stop child obesity. Studies have shown that this restriction is showing that cutting down on junk food in schools is helping, the government's STRATEGY is to stop the junk food in schools and try to stop child obesity the most they can or to reduce it. In addition, according to PREVIOUS researches students are cutting down on 160 calories a day, in California than in other fourteen states. Another example can be that many parents like to control their child's diets, parents like to have the ALTERNATIVE to control their child's junk food eating. This shows that parents will do anything they can to prevent their children from eating less junk food. In conclusion junk food should be banned from high school vending machines.

Does Your Homework Help You Learn?

I think that homework, helps you learn more than the actual lesson in class. One reason is because it actually makes you think more and to get the right answer you have to process the question or problem deep inside your brain to understand it and get it. Another reason is because you don't have someone always talking to you, or telling you what to do, you have the experience of doing it yourself and making a few mistakes. Another reason would be because sometimes, you get a sense that you know your doing the problem wrong or that you something went wrong, so you let yourself know. I think it actually helps with you independent side, it teaches you how yo do stuff independent with out anyone's help.

“Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the goal.”

Obstacles are just what you see when you take your eyes off your goals. You think of the "what ifs" and start to fear that you might not have a chance to make it. To achieve a goal you have to really want it and know that you have the power, capacity, and will to achieve it. There is nothing in the world that is impossible, you have to be in the state of mind that your are capable of doing it and achieving it, and following through it. Once you achieve that certain goal, you feel power and pride of what you have just done. Thinking you can't do it, won't get you anymore.

A “visit” to a hospital, doctor’s office, or dentist’s office

I've gone to the hospital more often sense I came to live to SPA. I've gone mostly for injuries, like cuts. I hate hospitals though, I hate their smell and when their lonely. I hate dentist offices too, I hate the smell of it. I'm scared of it because I don't like to hear the drilling noises,  I think its because my past experiences weren't so good. I think anyone that has an occupation as a doctor of any type is weird and has some major guts to deal with another person's body issues. All that is disgusting to me, and I can't stand to watch someone being cut open.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 8

The Ten Commandments do not exist at schools. For example, in the 1960's, the Supreme court help school-sponsored unconstitutional. If the Supreme Court says it is unconstitutional, why would anyone go against that  because everything else in the U.S that is ruled to be unconstitutional is and remains illegal. This also shows that any school or teacher that decides to teach any kind of religion is taking the ROLE of the child's parent, one reason is because many parents in the U.S go through one religion and many of them do not want their children to be taught something that goes against it. As teachers teach more and more about that one religion, the children start to CONSUME the knowledge about the religion and grow up with that knowledge. No one likes other people putting thoughts on their children heads that they do not want them to learn.  In addition, theres a CATEGORY in the United States called "Separation of Church and State", which in this case, the government is supposed to keep religion out of schools or public schools. In conclusion, the Ten Commandments should not exist at schools.
