"The Storyteller" Before You Read: Memorable Books from My Childhood

1.) No David!

My favorite book from my childhood would be "No, David" because it shows the way I was when I was very young. I did not have any respect until I was 8 or 9. My grandparents taught me respect, showing respect is like having manners to others like adults. We as teens are supposed to show respect no matter who the person is, showing respect will equal to positive karma. Going through life showing no respect might not be important, learning it is definitely a learning experience if you have not yet learned manners.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 11: Sports & Grades

In order to play sports, student athletes in San Diego must maintain a GPA of 2.0 or higher. Do you think students should be required to have good grades in order to play sports? Well it's not just for our benefit, we need to get a 2.0 to be successful. Making it easy for the student to be accepted into a higher learning environment, depending on your GPA. The higher the college, which is division 1 and 2. Require's that you need 3.0 or higher in order to be accepted into this really big school. I don't know about this semester, next semester is that I least get a 3.0. It's really obvious because of grade requirements, coaches from colleges just don't want an athlete. They look at academics and highlights, so if your a good ball player and has a 2.0, your most likely going to get into a division 4/5 college. Which is terrible, so grades are important.

Academic Language Practice Paragaph 11

Should all Americans have the right to free health care? American's should not have the right to have free health care because when you look at the word free, nothing is free especially within America. Every little thing from welfare, medical benefits are not free. This is not a free country, but if you join the military or navy. There is a hospital located in Balboa, where my grandparents go is completely free. It may charge high but they have an option to have a discount. Other than that, people who are not in the military or navy should not have the right to do whatever they want because their living. For citizens who are poor, good luck with welfare. If you don't pay the government back, they have the authority to hold you in jail. If I owned the entire country personally, I would give free health benefits, but at least pay me back at sometime.
