                     Should parents be allowed to be able to spank their kids?

       Parents should not be allowed to spank their child. There are other ways to discipline their child.

        One reason is parents could put their child in time out. For example my Tia Sophia put her child in time out and forgot that she did and she thought he was in his room playing with his toys. Another example is, parents could put them in the corner for discipline. For example, one of my other tia named Amanda put her sons in the corner for being bad and a few hours later she forgot about them, because she was watching her favorite TV show.

      Another reason why parents should not spank their child is that the parents could have a bad temper. One example is parents shouldn’t discipline in a bad temper. For example, my mom use to discipline my siblings and I when we would do something “wrong.”

   Some people say that children lie so they won’t get in trouble or get spanked and have bruises everywhere on them.

      Kids should get only on the butt with the hand and not anything else and it should teach them a lesson.

Students should be paid for having good grades, because it’s not easy to maintain grades. Grades are what students go to school for, students have to work hard. Plus I believe that they should be rewarded for their hard work. Teachers work hard to teach the students, the students work to understand and get the concepts. Teachers also get paid but students don’t, most students don’t think they should work hard because they don’t get a reward they will try.

I know that if I got paid for good grades, I would give 110 percent every day of the week. But it matters how good the grades are, so you can give them a certain amount of money. If you give a reward then kids will keep their grades up. I like to get a reward for doing good things so you do more for your classes, so you can get more rewarded. Money is a great prize for doing your work and actually trying.

                                           Should parents be allowed to spank their children?

            A hand flashing before your eyes, seeing your parents hand go up and down in the air, so many things going through your mind, what you all did wrong. I think parents should spank their kids but to a certain point on their kids.

            There so many other ways to discipline your kids than spanking. Parents’ can talk to their kids on what they did wrong and how to fix it instead. Parents can use so many other methods than spanking.

           Parents can overdue the limit and hit their kids too rough or taking out all their anger to the kid and make marks on them that shouldn’t be there. Kids can lose so many respects from their parents for hitting them the way they shouldn’t hit them or over during it and in an instance kid can lose respect that fast. Sometimes spanking or hitting your child can maybe go too far but at certain point you can spank your kids. But it’s better if you use another way than hitting your kids. It will be better if you will spank them on the butt with your hands nowhere else or with anything else just with your hands.

            Some people say that it’s the best method and its better. If you spank your kids but ten they don’t see the other ways you can discipline your children but parents just jump to conclusion to hitting their kids.

              Should teachers be allowed to carry guns in school? Teachers should carry guns in schools because; more criminals have guns and people who are stressed.

            The criminals who have guns could come into school and shoot. So teachers should be allowed to carry guns to protect their self and their students. The students and teachers won’t be afraid.

            There are a few students who are stressed. Students who are stressed are more likely to kill each other or their self .if a upset student comes to school upset and they get more upset then they could shoot ,

            Some people will say teachers shouldn’t be able to carry guns. They say that because teachers are just as crazy as criminals or stressed people.

 

Jonathan Cruz

Parents should be allowed to spank their children, but only the parents of the child cause that can cause some issues.

Cause if children don’t get spanked or disciplined he/she will be disobedient. But you don’t always have to be spanking your children because you can always ground them from things like TV, going out, phones. And to me when you spank them you should just use belts because, you don’t want bruise your loved ones.

            Discipline is a big factor in kids life shows them from right from wrongs so many other things. You should only discipline your kids when you know foreshore that they were in the wrong , cause if you do discipline your kids then you find out that they were in the right then you have a lot of explaining to do and start by saying you are sorry.

            Sometimes it is wrong to discipline your children because it could make them hate you if you discipline them too much for the little things. But overall you should show your children right from wrong because it will benefit them in the future and they will become a respectful adult!

   I don’t think teachers should have guns in classrooms because they get frustrated in an everyday basis. Teachers usually get mad at students during one day of work. Another reason is that teachers get exhausted and might lose their mind.

     For example Ms. Jennings gets frustrated at the end of the day, and that’s why she always gets mad at her 8^th period class. Another example is that mr.cabe gets exhausted from morning though after noon because he is always grouchy at the students.

    I think teachers and administers should not have any weapons concealed in class rooms or in campus.                  Only a fool would think that faculty should have weapons its dangerous because teachers and faculty go through a lot in a day of school.

Should boys and girls be in separate classes? Boys and girls should be in separate classes.

Students need to be able to focus on their education. For example, if boys and girls where in separate classes students would not have to worry if a person in a couple is not looking at another person.

The second reason that boys and girls should be in separate classes because if they have more focus then it will bring better grades. For example, students won’t have to worry about anything.

The third and final reason is why boys and girls should be in separate classes is that better grades brings higher expectations and brighter futures. For instance, students will be able to focus more on school and get there grades up.

Some people would say that there will be more drama if boys and girls are in separate classes but if were not in separate classes students will not pay attention.

It was a dark scary night and I was driving in the middle of nowhere. The rain and lighting going crazy, the rain splashing against the window shield. I started to get worried. I had no idea where I was at and did not know where the next gas station was at. My gas meter was on empty and I saw a house, so I pulled into the drive way. The house looked rotted and unusual, I knocked and no one answered.

            I knocked again and the door opened with a lady looking at me saying “What do you want!”

            I replied back with a nervous voice “My car ran out of gas and I don’t know where I am at, may I stay for the night, I’ll stay in the barn if you like?”

            “You can, just make sure you don’t touch that key in the barn!”

            I walked to the barn with a blanket, as I walked in the barn I saw the key by a mysterious door.

Carryings guns result in nothing but terrible outcomes. In the past couple of years we had seen nothing but “accidents shootings in schools” and making teachers carry guns in just plain ridiculous idea. There is no doubt in my mind that teacher’s carryings gun to school is an outrageousness idea because teachers are trained to teach not to shoot.

     First of all the only people that carry guns are criminals and authorities, most of the teachers on campus don’t have the courage to shoot someone especially a child, and there is no shame on that because we all know that teachers get emotional with their students. Guns were made to protect the people not to go around killing like there is no tomorrow.

     Secondly most teachers get under tremendous amount of stress and pressure which can result in a terrible tragedy if they had a gun in their position. There is not a single day in which teachers don’t get frustrated with a student and while teachers having a gun can provoke a tragedy such as students knowing where the gun is and taking it without the teacher knowing, or if someone grabs it without someone knowing and shooting it in an accident. 

     Finally the solution to all this tragedies that are happening at schools is not teachers carrying guns but to have more officers around campus which can definitely have a positive and better outcome. Having more police officers can have many advantages because teachers wouldn’t be worrying about a gun or anything the officers do, and officers are trained to do so teachers on the other hand are not. Carrying and shooting a gun is a job for an officer not a teacher, teachers job is to teach and help students with what they need. for all the reasons above there is no doubt in my mind that teachers should never have the right to carry a gun to school.

 The driving age should not raise to be 21 for a couple of reasons. The reasons includes responsibilities and emergencies.

            Some of the responsibilities that students have are jobs. When a student becomes around 16 or 17 years old they start to want a job and to have a job they need a car to get to work. As for school its practice for a sport or even going to class before or after school and parents don’t always want to drive their kids around.  A final reason for emergencies. An example of an emergency is teenagers are often left to take care of their younger sibling and say that something happens and they don’t have a phone and no one home and they need to take them to the emergency room or has a doctors’ appointment and their parent or guardian is at work, they can take them to wherever they need to go.

            Most people would agree that it would be more safe if they waited till 21 to drive but the real reason is you never know when something might happen.

     There are many ways in which Demarrco Murry is worth meeting he’s talented, he can make a defense look silly, hardworking, strong and fast, and never downs himself.

     For an example, Demarrco Murry is talented because last year against the St. Louis Rams he set the rookie record in rushing. Another reason is because he can make a defense look silly. When he runs the football instead of one guy tackling him three or more guys have to in order to bring him down.

     Another example is that Demarrco Murry is hardworking. One reason why he’s hardworking would be because he never gives up on a play even though the defense may think they have him in the backfield. He manages to break out of it and get positive yards. Another reason is because he’s strong and fast he can break tackles and do what he does best make touchdowns. He shoots out of the backfield like a cannon ball and doesn’t stop until the whistle blows. Last reason would be because he never criticizes himself. If he fumbles the ball or doesn’t block for the quarterback on a pass instead of getting mad himself he gets back in the huddle and makes the next play better than before.

      Therefore there are the reasons why Demarrco Murry would be worth meeting.

Alessandra Villela.                              Expository 1                            Cristiano Ronaldo

            Soccer players can be alot alike just because they share the same passion, but also be completely different in their mentality and individuality. Cristiano Ronaldo is a perfect example for the “extraordinary” soccer player, just because of who he is.
           A person worthy of meeting is Cristiano Ronaldo. Player from Portugal, Ronaldo is worthy of meeting in my eyes because he is very athletic, he has good control of the ball whether it’s passing, dribbling, or shooting. Cristiano does everything in his ability to stay fit. Ronaldo is always eating right even though he doesn’t like to, he still does. Cristiano runs every morning for two hours and every night for three, and to me that shows me how strong he is. Another reason why I think he’s so worthy of being met is because he’s not strong just physically like “working out” strong, but strong as “in his mind” strong.
           Cristiano is very motivated when it comes to the big field, he says “when I step onto the field, nothing matters because it’s just me and the goal.. nothing in between” I take that as my motivation because that shows me that he doesn’t let anything get in his way.
           Ronaldo is very competitive on the field and I admire how he plays because to me it’s like he’s showing me “this is how you do it” and that, that is how I should be on the field.
           Cristiano Ronaldo has many reasons why he’s worthy of meeting because he’s simply my idol. So many people want to be his sponsor, like shoe companies, soccer companies, and just many clothing lines. If so many people want to sponsor him that shows me something about him, something big. I look up to him in so many ways because of who he is and I just love everything about him. To end everything, I know “all” soccer players can be exactly the same because they share the same passion but different because their different in the mentality and the individuality.

She doesn’t change her body parts to look better, she is who she is for a reason and doesn’t wish to change that. She inspires me to be who I am, not anything else.
          Another reason is, because  she is an amazing actress. She plays every part amazingly, especially in the movie “The Backup Plan”, she acts as if she was really going through what the character was going through. Her emotions, personality, and her physical features match the role she played perfectly.
          The final reason is, because she is determined. She doesn’t back down she stands her ground and doesn’t give up. Jennifer Lopez is determined to be herself not what other people wanted her to be. When they suggested her to get Botox, she said no, that she was a Latina and she needed to be a Latina not anything else.

Lexis                                            Christina Aguilera                                                expository #1

          It takes guts to go and perform in front of thousands of people. But when you have a voice like Christina Aguilera you were meant to perform. She was meant to be a star ever since she was a little girl.

     One of the ways Mrs.Agulara is worthy of meeting is her gifted voice, she could sing anything. If you have seen the movie Burlesque you would know what I’m talking about. She has won at least six awards and is one of the judges for the talent show The Voice.

       Another way that makes her worth meeting is that she is a great role model. She started out acting at a young age and played in The Mickey Mouse Club in the 1990’s. Christina Aguilera was ranked number 58 on the Rolling Stones of the 100 greatest singers of all time, and also ranked number 8 on VH1’s 100 greatest women in music. An actress, singer/songwriter and record producer is someone who I look up to.

          The last reason I think she is worth meeting is she did it all on her own and she isn’t ashamed of who she is. A girl who moved various times when she was little to her parents divorcing when she was only 6. Along with living with her grandma being homeschooled, she did very well for herself. Christina recorded her first song “All I want to do” at the age of fourteen, and from then on her career was building.

        She has a lot of talent and uses it the right way. Christina respects herself and is happy with who she is. There are a lot more reasons why I’d like to meet her but these are the main ones.

            One of the reasons I want to meet Jesus Christ is because I want to be like him.  In order to do this I need to meet him so I can watch and learn from him. God said that in order to go to heaven I will have to be like him, it also says this in the bible.

            Another reason I want to meet Jesus Christ is so that I can learn to help others. He helped the poor by giving them eternity; he helped the sick be healing them. By meeting Jesus I can learn how to help others like he did.

            A final reason of why Jesus Christ is worthy of being met is because I want to go to heaven. To do this we have been told that we need to give up our earthly life and follow him. God sent him down to earth so that he could be an example to us to show us what do to do in order to get to heaven. Again I will say that in order to get to heaven we need to be like him in every way.

            His life may have seemed bad but he fulfilled his duty on earth that he was called to do. Since I want to be like him, help others, and go to heaven Jesus Christ is a person who is worthy of being met. Although he died on the cross; he died for my sins so that I can have an eternal life.

Esmie Diaz-                               Expository #1                         Demi Lovato

            Demi Lovato is worthy to be met because of her determination, passion, and dedication to being a singer.

One of the ways Demi Lovato is determined is because she never gives up. After going to rehab, she picked herself up, and reminded herself to never give up. Another example of Demi Lovato is that she’s passionate. Not only is she recognized for her talent, but also uses her singing career as a stepping stool. To her singing is another way of expressing her mood, and feelings through song. She makes sure her lyrics or songs grab the ears of those listening. She tells so many stories behind her music. Whether it’s a break-up, feeling alone or just making others around the world feel like they belong.

Demi isn’t like any other singer. The way she puts herself into her music is what makes her unique. She gives them an idea of what she’s going through, so then maybe they can relate to her song. She doesn’t just sing about non-sense, she relates to every teenager. Everybody has their own outlook on the type of person she is, but too many teens all around the world, she’s they’re hero.

Demi knows what it’s like to have her heart broken. She knows what it’s like to fall in love, and believe that the person is never going to leave. When she went to rehab, she had lost herself for a little bit. All she needed was a little bit of guidance, and that’s exactly what she got. Going through these different stages of depression, stress, anxiety, and eating disorders. No matter what she would eat, she’d end up throwing it all up. For her it was difficult, and the only way she was able to cope with it all was to write songs. Every lyric had a meaning behind it. Every thought feeling, or mood went into a song. How she felt on a certain day was a new line or lyric. When she wrote a new song, she made sure to incorporate every detail into it. After her recovery she had got two new tattoos. On her left she had “stay”, and on her right she had “strong”. These two words actually helped her in her recovery. “Stay Strong” is a trademark of everything she went through, and to anybody going through the same thing.

Demi is an inspiration to many young teenage girls. The way she incorporates what she’s feeling inside her songs, is what makes her a dedicated, passionate, and determined song writer. But above all she’s a hard working, and talented young woman, who inspires many, including myself. And that’s what makes Demi Lovato the most worthy person to be met.

 One of the ways that Marilyn Monroe is worthy of being met is because she was confident. Confidence is a very important trait to have, but not everybody has it. Confidence says a lot about a person. Confidence gives a person a happy glow, and Marilyn was always made out to have that glow!

Many famous women will go down in history, made history. Possessing confidence, beauty, and originality are what make Marilyn Monroe worth meeting. Everyone can teach someone at least one thing but Marilyn Monroe could teach the whole world a lesson or two.

STD’s and teen pregnancies is one of the other things from teen drinking. When someone has had more to drink they start to see things that they didn’t see sober. For example they see people in a different way and will eventually end up to them “sleeping” with a total stranger they met that night.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Teen drinking is a choice not an option. Everyone needs to know the cause and effect of it. Therefor every teen should think about the consequences before they take that first drink of alcohol.
