Imagine spending seven hours in a silent, colorless building for the next four years of your life. That’s how some high schools are who don’t offer the arts programs we take for granted everyday. Performing arts, fine arts, and visual arts deserve to be a required piece of highschool because It motivates both special education and regular students, It reduces stress and anxiety, and it creates quality students and schools.

It's good that our school is cutting an elective, so we have more class time. I think that it's a good idea, but it won't happen and having a longer lunch period would be awesome. During lunch I would chill or play football or basketball. Socialize is one thing that I might do, sometimes when I take my time eating I don't get to play basketball or socialize, but that's alright.

This certain site says that the intro. is first impression that a reader has when reading an essay.

Disconsolation has plagued the world we live in for many years. Powerful sources of destruction surround us, hitting us again and again with words of injustice and prejudice. Sometimes we don't know where to turn or who to turn to. It’s a constant struggle. The struggle against prejudice, racism, sexism and the constant veil of hate that covers this great nation and the world of today's civilians. Sometimes it’s hard to walk amongst people and know that no matter how kind hearted or brilliant you may be, you are constantly being judged, based on your race, sexual identity or gender.

Today we will be choosing topics,” announced Mr. Bowerbank, my 7th grade English teacher and ruler of classroom 110. My class simultaneously groaned at the prospect of work. I simply lifted my head with intrigue as it was already May and about time we had our first essay. He then proceeded to give examples of topics we could choose and gave us some time to think before we had to tell him our topic. My classmates were already rushing to tell the teacher their idea lest someone else steal it. That meant the usual abortion, death penalty, or drug use topics were out. I really couldn't think of anything and the teacher was slowly making his way through the remaining students like an executioner beheading criminals in a line. I have always thought that he would make a marvelous supervillain if he had a curly mustache, a tophat, and a cape. Eventually my name was called. I slowly dragged myself over to his desk. Even sitting down, he still seemed to tower over me. “What is your topic Cindy?” As usual in such desperate times, my mind turned to food. “Waffles are better than pancakes.” I figured that a waffle was just a differently shaped pancake with a nicer texture. “Hmm. Excellent topic. I look forward to your essay!” I survived to live yet another day.

How often do people find themselves in situations when competition is apparent? From children of all ages in school to adults looking for jobs outside of school, competition is everywhere.
