In my afterschool I have a teacher named Mr. Brendan. He is a creative writing teacher who assigns unique topics. One of the topics he gave me is called “Swimming with a Shark.” In this essay I wrote about whether I would swim with a great white shark for one million dollars or not. The topic makes you think hard about what you would do in the situation.

At the time we got the topic the class started to brainstorm about the choices. There were 6 classmates who were Anthony, Elizabeth, Vanessa, Daniel, James, and me. Only Daniel said that he would choose to do it. The rest of us said no to it. Since most of us said no we get to brainstorm together. I was with Anthony and Elizabeth, Vanessa, and James are working together. only Daniel was working alone.

A few minutes passed and Mr. Brendan wants us to share our ideas. The ideas we come up is that we have a long time to live; the money is not worth it and many more. Daniel’s idea is that if there is any money problem the bet should be taken. The teacher accepted them all and class ended just then. After that we started to work on the essay.

After the essays were done we waited until next Thursday where class started. Mr. Brendan came in and made us read out the essay we wrote. I was up first to read it and I was nervous about it. As I began to read it I gained more confidence about reading my essay. As soon as I was finished, Mr. Brendan gave me on what he thinks about the essay. He said that it was very good and I should keep this type of work up.He gives it a ninety-five percent on the essay.

I was happy on my grades because he was a strict grader and all I can get before was an eighty average. The high grade he gave me made me happy and was an accomplishment to me. I would never get a better grade like this so I should cherish the grade.

Slavery is the act of controlling people as property and making them work for you. I think that is truly wrong and that slavery should have never existed. I believe all of mankind should be treated equal and that there should be no slaves serving anyone. Slavery shows that mankind can be controlled to do anything possible. I believe that is not right.
Many slaves have poor nutrition because of the meals they eat everyday. Their masters give them plain bread and other food that don’t have vitamins. This makes slaves unhealthy and they can get sick. They are treated so poorly that they can be on the verge of death. Their poor nutrition shows that slaves eat to survive to work for their masters.
Also, slaves are treated badly by their masters. If the slaves don’t do their jobs, the master will give them a beating. This will make the slaves feel painful. Also, when slaves run away for freedom, their masters will find them and kill them. I hate this idea because there should be no slave abuse.
Slaves work very hard everyday because of their owner. They have to work for the whole day, and they barely get paid. I think slaves shouldn’t have to do these jobs, because it exhausts them and pushes their limits. The owners are too harsh to their slaves. They treat the slaves with such cruelty.
Slavery is bad in many ways, and I don’t agree with the idea. Feeding slaves badly can make slaves so desperate for more food. Also, they get beaten up for not doing their jobs or running away. Slaves have to tire themselves out for their owners. I do not like slavery because of how slaves are treated.

I feel that slavery is really bad and that no one should even be doing slavery at all. I think that slavery is a terrible thing and it makes a person feel like nothing. People should always consider other people’s feelings.
Slavery is a bad thing to do. People are carried by their own will because of slavery. Slavery makes people so sad and lonely but the slaves can’t do anything. Slavery is illegal too. Slavery should not even be done in any country in this whole world. I hate slavery and I know that it is really bad.
I think that slavery is so terrible because the slaves cannot make their own decisions and need to work by their own free will. I think slavery is terrible because it make the slave feel very sad and lonely about themselves. Slaves can only work and are not able to do things unless their owner tells them. I think it’s terrible because I wouldn’t want to be kept by my own free will.
I think slavery is very sad because I wouldn’t want to be lonely but slaves are always alone and they only have to work for their owners. Slavery is sad because it makes the slave feel very bad about them. Being a slave means to be carried by your own free will and it means that if you’re a slave, it’s kind of like being a servant for an eternity alone with no pay or little pay.
In my opinion, I hate slavery. Being a slave can be hard and being a slave can make people suffer. I hate slavery because being a slave means that they can’t do anything they they want to do, they need to work every day, they have to be held captive, and they can’t leave and become free.

I don’t think public school students should learn about different types of religion. Religions are beliefs taught in temples, churches, or private schools. Religions shouldn’t be taught in public schools. Public schools don’t have the right to influence their students to believe a certain religion.
The Bill of Rights lists many freedoms the government promises to protect. One of these freedoms is the freedom of religion. That states that people don’t have to be forced to learn a religion. That’s why public schools can’t force students to learn a belief like Christianity. People have to have the willingness to learn a religion. Some people are Atheists and don’t wish to believe in God.
Also, in the past, Native Americans have been converted into Christianity, by force. If they didn’t convert to Christianity, they would be killed. That’s why I don’t wish for people to be forced to learn a religion. If they do, it will be just like the past, and I don’t want that.
Also, a lot of problems come with learning a religion. When two people learn a different religion, they argue on which religion is right. A fight starts out and many people can’t stop it. The only way to stop it is to have a toleration for all religions. That means a person will have the willingness to let another person practice their belief. If they don’t have a toleration, the people will keep fighting. No one wants that in a public school though, because it will show on the news and ruin their reputation.
Since there are so many problems with having people learn religions in public schools, they shouldn’t teach religions in the first place. If people want to learn religions, they should go to private schools, temples, and churches, where there won’t be these problems. That’s why I disagree with the idea that public schools would teach students different types of religion.

I think that public schools need to learn about religion because it is for their own good. Religion is something that is really fun to talk about in school. For example, christanity is something that is really fun and it is something that is really interesting to talk about, depending on the people that are there.
The reason why there should be religion in public schools is because there is more to learn. Students could research about this religion in class and they could discuss it in class. Even thought there could be a lot of regrets in some religions, it is still something that is important and enjoying. i think that it is really fun and it causes people to be more smart in things.
For example, many religions are supposed to be meant for your ancestors, but i think that we could also share it. Some teachers are capable of teaching really well in religions and are good. Some are just going to talk about their religion and teach students only less than half of it. teachers have to be really smart and public schools should have better information.
I think the most important reason why we should learn religion in public schools is that it makes students more accurate. It helps many people and it helps students.

Nobody likes to do homework and yet, it is essential to school. Supposedly homework is to improve your grades and review what you’ve done in class. But I think that homework is not needed and kids shouldn’t even have homework.
Instead of homework, there are other things that could help kids like pop quizzes. Pop quizzes will help kids review what they have learned without homework. Pop quizzes will help kids review the questions that they might have gotten wrong.Pop quizzes are easier then tests and pop quizzes force kids to study because they won’t know when they’ll have a quiz.
Homework is the same thing as the lessons that kids learn in class. It’s only there to make sure kids understand everything in class. What’s the point of taking the same lessons that you learned in school at home because of homework. Homework wastes time for kids to study at home all because they need to do homework at home.
Homework is useless to me because even though I do homework at home, I get almost all the questions wrong . Even though I learned the lessons at school or after school. So, whats the point of doing homework if I get everything wrong. Homework will just be wasting my time because I might get all the answers to my questions wrong.
I think that homework is not important because it just wastes my time and instead of homework, kids should get pop quizzes. Getting pop quizzes will force a few kids to study beforehand. So, homework is not important.

As I opened my eyes, I see strangers staring at me. Where am I? I look around me, and what I saw was a pilgrim village! There were no cars, phones, and even no heaters! How did these people live? I wish I could introduce one type of our modern technology to these strangers so it would be easier to live. The thing I would introduce to them would be phones, because everyone uses them.
A phone is a basic requirement in our lives. We use them everyday to call each other. The only way this pilgrim village can communicate is by riding a wagon and meeting each other personally. With using a phone, it would save so much time talking on the phone.
Also, phones have many gadgets that keep people entertained. You can play games on the phone for more than 1 hour. Without modern technology, you can’t do anything except work for the whole day. Phones have gadgets like Teeter where you balance your phone to make a ball go into the green hole. It is very addicting and useful for wasting time.
Phones have the ability to text. Many people text and don’t call that much anymore. That is because texting can display emotions and you don’t have to speak to a person by hearing their voice. Texting is also useful for making quick comments. You can text even when a person’s phone is off, because they still receive your message.
With having phones, it is so much easier to communicate with others. You can save time and you won’t be bored during the day because of playing on your phone. With all these useful gadgets a phone has, your life can change with this single invention that was brought into modern technology.

Almost everything goes through stress, even I go through stress. There are just times when I get sad and angry about everything because of stress. Stress does have effects on young people today and stress affects me too. Stress effects young people by causing anger issues, emotional problems, and it can hurt you.

One of the problems that stress causes for young people are anger issues. Stress causes anger issues because when people get stressed, they get angry and they don’t know what to do. Anger issues can lead to violence and it can make you feel like you’re all alone that you can’t face anything. So, stress affects young people because it makes the people feel like their all alone and it makes them think violently without even thinking.

Stress can affect young people by causing emotional problems, when young people get stressed; they get sad, angry, and violent. Stress can make young people so sad and angry at the same time that they start to get emotional problems. Since young people don’t know how to face most problems alone, they might get really emotional about things and distressed.

Stress can cause many damage to people and can hurt them too. Stress causes damage to the head and makes people get distressed and get headaches. Stress can make people get cancer and make people get fatter. When young people get stressed or distressed, they start to eat a lot until they feel less pissed off. Too much stress can cause cancer. So, the effects of stress can lead to people getting hurting themselves.

Stress affects a lot of young people; it affected me a bit too. I’ve had anger issues and eating habits because of stress. I haven’t been fully affected by stress but the effects that stress that it has on young people can cause anger issues, emotional problems, and stress can hurt you.

In life many young people have stress. They gain stress from overworking themselves. It has effects on them that can have a bad result on their lives. There are things such as not having enough sleep, creating problems in their education, and pains that are very harmful to their body. This is caused by young people working too hard or staying up too long to do something.
One of the effects stress has on children is that they don’t get enough sleep. For example, a child can be studying for a test, stressing himself out by memorizing a fact. Then, the child keeps on studying, not sleeping for the night. They can get bags under their eyes because of this, and in school it is possible for them to doze off multiple times during class. This can happen just from studying, and can happen from other things like playing a game that’s addicting for too long.
Another effect that can result from being stressed out is having problems in a child’s education. By playing too long or studying without sleeping, the body can’t rest and get it’s normal sleep. The next day the child could be too sleepy for their test and they can fail. This is because the child is too sleepy to answer the questions and it takes too long for them to think about what the answer can be. This is why teachers always tell students to have a nice bath and sleep for a test like the city state test.
The last effect stress has on young people is that stress can give people pains. If a child runs past their limit, they can fall down, from being too stressed out. They can get pains that make them feel tired, or their back can hurt because of running too long. Even playing a game can hurt you. When you play an addicting game for too long, you stay in a position while playing the game. Then when you stand up to do something else, your back feels pains from staying in a position too long. These pains can happen in your body because of stress.
Young people these days do activities that can stress them out. Not many of them exercise and keep themselves fit, they do stuff like studying, reading, or playing on their computer. These activities stress young people out, resulting in effects that are bad for their lives. Effects can be bad, like getting pains from staying in a position for too long. There are also effects that can be minor, like not having enough sleep. These effects are what can happen to young people these days, because of stress.

There is one thing about stress and it’s that it can affect many people today. Stress is any life difficulties or any problems that you have right now. Everyone experienced it and it doesn’t feel good. There are many effects of stress on people. These stresses on younger people happen when there is too much homework, tests are coming up, and many more that includes school.Since stress is unavoidable many people will take in the effect of stress.Stress can cause a change in your behavior and emotional problems, physical problems, and cognitive problems.

Stress on young people can cause behavior changes. The changes can be that you eat more or less, isolation from others, too much or too little sleep, nervous habits, and many more. Those aren’t healthy to anyone and it can affect your life. Stress can also change your emotions. Your emotions run wild from the frustrations you have in your life. Emotional changes can cause short temper, more emotional about your situation, and the inability to relax. Those are enough to affect your social life.

Stress can physically affect you. The reason stress can physically effect you is because stress response is the body’s way of helping you in a situation like giving you enough support to prepare you for a dangerous situation. However at a certain point stress can physically because it is too much. Too much of something isn’t good for you and stress is one of them. You will have aching in certain spots, dizziness, frequent colds and more.

Stress can cause cognitive problems. Cognitive problems are when stress occurs and it cause problems with your mind. Your mind is a really important part in lifestyles. Cognitive problems are memory problems, or you have a problem remembering certain things. More symptoms are harder times to concentrate, constant worrying, poor judgment and more.

Stress can cause all these symptoms and there is no avoiding it. Every person has a different limit of when stress becomes harmful. The only solution of it is to try to calm down. Too much stress only makes you mad so calming down a bit will help the situation a bit. When I experienced too much stress for the first time it harmed me. Now I try to calm down about the stress given to me and the harmful effects are not as frequent. Stress can be a problem to everyone including kids.
