With Christmas quickly approaching, I sincerely feel compelled to reach out to those of you who may be experiencing difficult emotions due to the absence of loved ones. Holidays are often catalysts for such instances of despair and longing as unfortunately, I, myself, know all too well. I lost both my husband and my father within the past three years, and while I’ve prevailed in becoming stronger and more determined than I ever thought possible, this time of year never fails to unearth the raw pain that permanently resides just beneath the surface. So, from the deepest regions of my heart, my pledge to you is this…if any of you, whether it be day or night, ever need an empathetic ear or shoulder, I’m merely an email, message or phone call
Having escaped rule from a tyrannical British government, the United States was founded on ideals of freedom and equality for all people. These fantasies of universal egalitarianism turned out to be merely that: fantasies. American history is full of stories of the oppressed struggling to get the rights they deserve and of the controversy over these issues that consequently ensues. “The Hypocrisy of American Slavery” by Frederick Douglass and “We Shall Overcome” by Lyndon B. Johnson are two speeches made confronting two of these issues. Douglass’s speech, delivered in 1852, condemns the institution of slavery and maintains that slaves are men and are therefore entitled to freedom. Johnson’s speech, on the other hand, was written in 1965 and discussed the civil rights movement. In it, he implored local governments to allow all American citizens, regardless of race, to vote. Despite the significant gap in time between these two addresses, both speakers use similar persuasive techniques, including ethos, pathos, and parallelism, to convince their audience that change needs to be implemented in America.

Ms. Ruggiero I just want to let you know that I had printed off my homework, but I couldn't print off the other one. I don't have no more money in my print/account. I wanted to turn it in tomorrow/ Tuesday to get extra credit but I guess won't be able to get that. So what do that mean? I just failed the homework? Because I am very nervous and stressed out right now!
Everyone can attest to the difficulties suffered during the holidays, but parents and caregivers, please face the sad truth that your son or daughter is at a substantially higher likelihood of committing suicide than any other group in this country, and that each person that lost their child, also never thought that it would happen to them. Once you face these truths, please take into consideration that what helped me through difficult times, as the holidays are for many, has been the unconditional love offered by my family. I challenge you to love in the same way.

Homework kills. Can we all agree on that? I will be discussing how less homework could make a change in our lives. Having less homework is relevant right now because as a 7th grader, my friends and I complain about homework almost all the time. I chose to discuss this topic to let teachers get a possible glimpse on how we feel about getting homework. This issue affects me because I always want to play volleyball outside and watch tv, but homework always interferes. Teachers should give us less homework because it gives us stress, it’s unhealthy, and it takes away time from your friends and family.
Sometimes I ask myself: what if I did this? What if I did that? Would it make a difference? Well, if I did nothing and kept wondering, I would never know. What person does is more important than what a person thinks because actions can affect others and accomplish goals.

The majority of students have, at one point or another, wished for less homework. For some student’s homework is not a big issue but for other students it can take hours and even days to do all their homework. That wasted time could be used for enjoyment or learning life skills instead of homework. Nine in ten high school students reported feeling stressed about homework (Galloway 4). So, should students get less homework? Yes, students should receive less homework because it improves their well-being by reducing stress and its impacts on health, increasing leisure time, and showing that homework does not affect grades significantly.
As a woman, have you ever felt like having a vajayjay is an automatic handicap? Of course you have! Everyone knows that if you have a genital orifice instead of a genital probe, you are naturally assumed to be responsible for: child rearing, household cleaning, meal preparation, making sure bills are paid on time, adequately maintaining the family’s food supply, scheduling and chauffeuring for appointments, heading up the family’s PR with birthday cards, thank you letters, Christmas gifts…. The list goes on and on. So why does having an inny instead of an outy come with so much responsibility? Don’t get me wrong; I understand the tripod gender is typically laden with their own set of responsibilities, but come on. How many times a week do they mow the lawn or repair the family car? I can assure you it is not as often the birth canals carriers have to vacuum the floors or fix dinners.
Around the world our populace goes up and another goes down, both in a rapid manner. If you may not know what population it is, here’s a hint, for your birthday you usually get balloons powered by this, but maybe in the future twenty five years from now you can’t have these balloons due to scarcity of this object. Nevertheless, moving away from balloons, and to a more serious manner, to put it bluntly, our natural resources are rapidly running low, and are getting scarce in a rapid manner. As, humans we may adapt to these changes by moving away from obsolete forms of energy like coal however, our species have not found alternative ways to adapt to every certain shortcoming when it comes to specified nonrenewable resources. Needless to say,
When faced with hardships in life, a person is often given two choices, to either give up or persevere. Many people who are faced with these choices choose to give up, these people never got to live life to their full potential. If they would have persevered then they would have eventually overcame their challenge and been able to move on from it. If a person does not persevere they will never be able to move on and will always be ok with where they are at and never grow. This is why a person should persevere, but what exactly is a person who perseveres? In the dictionary, perseverance is defined as a, steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.”
Try to think of an atrocious, exhausting, appalling, dreadful task that almost any middle school student would say they despise. Does the word homework pop into your head? It definitely does for me, and I am pretty sure it is safe to say that that will be the case with 99% of the other junior high students as well. In today’s society, the average middle school student is expecting homework basically every night. The amount of homework and time you have to spend on it will vary depending on the level of your classes, and mainly, your teacher. This brings me to my main point, junior high teachers should be assigning less homework to their students due to the fact that it would lessen the likeliness of interfering with extracurricular activities, it would reduce the chance of a lack of sleep, and it would make it less likely for middle school students to feel unnecessary stress and pressure.
