1000 awesome things

Not everyone has the money to get food every month for their household. Not everyone has someone who would give them money to get food. I am thankful for having so much food to eat when my mom gets her money. With out that check every month I would not be able to be the healthy person that I am. People don't understand how much food is a big deal. But, when it is taken from you it will serve you right. So thank you food.

Patsy Mink and Title 9

a Persuasive Thesis Statement on Patsy Mink and Title 9:

Patsy Mink should be the hero of all females who are enjoying sports and their education. Even though People say that women aren't up to the same level as men and they can't do the what men can. Title nine clearly states that "No person in the U.S. shall, on the basis of sex be excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving federal aid." and by her doing this she challenges the stereotype about where a woman's place is.

Thesis statement for nhd

Why can't we do it?

a Persuasive Thesis Statement on Patsy Mink and Title 9:

Even though women aren't able to do everything that men can do, Patsy Mink had many concerns with women not being able to do sports in high schools and college. Because Males and females are equal no matter what is going on and the federal law states that "no person in the United States shall on the basis of sex be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." .

Class room bill of rights

1)Everyone (including the teacher) has equal rights. If we can't do something they can't do something
2) We can have free time after we are done our work.
3)Treat others the way you want to be treated.

My opinions on the Bill of rights

1) The Bill of Rights are rules that the people in the United States have to follow. It is also a way to show you what you can and can not do. They  

2)The amendments that are most important to me are freedom of speech, the right to a speedy trail and provision concerning prosecution. I think the freedom of speech is important because it says that no matter who you are you can say what's on your mind. You have the right to express your true feelings in any matter. The reason I think the right to a speedy trail is important is because in all criminal prosecutions, the accused should be able to stand in front of a jury with witnesses of the crime and plead guilty or not guilty. And that is also why I picked the provision concerning prosecution.

3)Over the past 200 years or rights have increased. Now anyone over the age or 18 can vote,m back then you had to be a rich white male landowner.

4)I don't think I would add any rights only because I think the US has enough to worry about. We have oil problems, some states such as pennsylvania has money issues etc.

5)I think we need all of these rights. These rights have been added because the people needed change. Now I think the people don't need change, they want it.

my personality

1) I am an ENFJ.
E-Entraverted
N-Intuitive
F-Feeling
J-judging
ENFJ are teachers.
They see themselves as helpers but it seems to be manipulation(its not ment to be.)


What is personality

Personality is a character trait. It tells a description of a certain character (the way they talk, what they look like etc.) Personality affects our choices and behavior because we judge people by the way they look even if we don't know them. For an example when I first came to CHS I must admit I judged a lot of people as they walked into the building. O she has this on she must be real cocky. She is standing alone looking at the ground she must be the quiet type. And I also said, I can't hang out with him he has all these females around him and females make trouble.
