Changes since freshman year

During freshman year, I was motivated and focused and as time progressed I grew less determined to be a straight A student. By the end of freshman year, I had gone off track mentally but somehow managed to keep my grades stable. At the begininng of my sophomore year, I had tried my best to be on the track to college but, the classes I was taking were too hard (I thought) so, I just gave up. I moved from Fremont to San Diego and basically dropped out of school. By the time I came to SPA, I had slowly fallen back into the mindset of going to college and tried hard to keep my grades up. When Senior year comes around, I plan to be ahead in credits and getting scholarships. I know that my Junior year will be my hardest but, I plan to reach my goal.

Academic Language Week 37 - Unhealthy Meal Choices

The fast food indrustry is unhealthy and bad influence for kids. This indrustry has a huge SECTION dedicated to influencing children to eat their food.

If one fast food place provides cheaper and more greasy (more tasty) food then a SIMILAR place will do the same. This leads to even more unhealty choices with a variety of place to choose them at. So, fast food places should not be allowed to target little kids.

Language Week 35 - Sweatshops

Sweatshops are a violation of human rights. The owners of these sweatshops are put their workers under CONTRACTS that basically signs over their life. They are treated unfairly and forced to work in horrible LABOR conditions. Even after APPLYING the fact that these workers need these jobs and have no where else to work, it still doesn't justify the conditions they are put in. Sweatshops don't have to take away human rights and can still give an oppertunity of work.

Academic Language Week 33 - American Students

The students of America are not in a failing rank compared to other countries. Studies showed that a large majority of American pupils are not grade level in reading yet, English is Americas strongest and most important attribute. Not only that, many foreigners migrate here for a better education. Since there is a major migration here from a large variety of countries whose education is nowhere as academically advance as America's, there are many immigrants being tested in areas they havent been taught which brings are scores down. Also, studies said that many students that enter highschool will not graduate or they will dropout, but there is many successful people who have not finished highschool and make million because they were already so smart. So these studies can not determine the value of Americas education and with that said American students are not academically challenged compared to other countries.
