Proud to be an American

This is a short response to why I am proud of my country.  Also how happy I am to be free.

 

Have you ever thought about what it would be like if the U.S.A did not have freedom?  Or if we were not a democracy? Many other countries do not have freedom or other rights this is why the U.S.A is a very good place to be.  I am proud of my county.  Even though I do not agree with everything they do I still am very proud. 

In America we have lots of freedom.  One freedom everyone has in America is freedom of choice.  America does not require that curtin people have to go into the military but, U.S citizens do go into the military by choice.  Another freedom people in America have is freedom of religion.  Lots of people wanted to come over to America because of freedom of religion this was one of the big reasons back a hundred years ago.  These are a few of the many freedoms people in America have.

In conclusion America is one of the best places to live because of the freedoms we have.   

School Uniforms Should be Avoided

Author's Note:  This is a persuasive essay on why students everywhere should not have to wear uniforms during their normally school day.

 Students' creativity in school has a large impact on their future.  The main years children learn to be creative is during their school years. But, when there are school uniform rules in play, students can no longer have the freedom of choice or the chance to be creative in their clothing choices.  So, I strongly suggest for all schools to avoid uniforms in there normal school days.

First, if school uniforms were avoided, then everyone would have a chance to express their fashion and creativity.  Fashion and creativity needs to be taught and prompted at a young age.  This is because in almost every career, creativity is needed; one example is an art teacher.  Also, creativity helps with problem solving and thinking in unique ways.

Although creativity is a large factor in why school uniforms should be avoided the comfort is another.

"School uniforms are very uncomfortable, the shirts are the most uncomfortable part of the uniform.  Plus it make me look like I am wearing church clothes all the time" says Sam from Queen of Apostles .

I think if the students have to wear uncomfortable uniforms then for the whole day then the teachers should too. 

Not only do they feel uncomfortable wearing them they might start to feel uncomfortable because they all look alike.  Everyone is different in their own way they should be able to express that with their clothing choices.  Their might be some people who want to be different than your every day person but, they can not appear different if they have to wear a uniform. 

Everyone needs to be creative and the majority of people are creative with their clothing choices but, they can not be creative with their clothing if they have to wear a uniform to school.  Uniforms are one of the reasons  why students are not as creative as they could be if they had the freedom the express themselves through their appearances. 

"Princesson the Brink" Dear diary entry (essay)

Author’s Note: The following story is a diary entry to the main character from her.  The story describes what is going on in her life right know.  The purpose of the story is to remind her that everything will be alright eventually.   

Dear diary,

I can’t believe that Michael my boyfriend said he is going away to Japan.  I thought nothing about how great it was for him to go to Japan for a while and work on his mechanical surgical arm.  I thought he would be gone for about a week 2 weeks max.  Then he hit me with it, he is going away to Japan for a year or more.  How could this be?  How can these people just take him away from me and his family?  How could he do this to me, the princess?  So I ask him, how can you be away for school for a whole year?  He said they told him he will get complete school credit while he’s am gone. 

After I thought about it for a moment I just started to ball.  Full out crying and I couldn’t stop.  Everyone was staring right at me and Michael.  We left the restaurant and got a cab to bring us back and I was still crying in the cab.  I really just could not stop.  When I walked into my house my mom was there and apparently my little brother has been banging pots for a really long time. Mom came upstairs to see what happened and I think to get away from all of the noise.  I told her that Michael is going away for a year OR MORE….. to Japan.  She told me not to worry and that it will go by very quick. 

The next day I was still so upset but Michael said that we will see each other tomorrow.  At school I was so sad and almost crying.  I was holding back tears for the whole day.  That night I was able to visit with him.  This is very unusual because it is a school night, but since he is leaving I am able to see him.  We have been seeing each other every day since I’ve known he was leaving.  My grandma has been moving to different condos, but she is so picky she can’t find one she seems to like.  Which is fine with me because I’m missing my princess lessons and I hate those so much.  Finally she settles on one condo, but she is still renting another one for a whole week.  I decide to take Michael there for a romantic dinner.

While I take him there I have one idea that might make Michael stay after all.  When we get to the condo and half way through our dinner I tell him that he can kiss me.  Which he has wanted to do for a long time but I have wanted to wait for prom.  I want to do it now hoping he will stay.  When I told him this he looked at me and said “Are you really sure?”  I said “yes” and he said “this is not going to make me change my mind about Japan.”  I was thinking to myself “shoot.”  I was trying so hard to hold back my tears.  I ran down the stairs and called for a cab and went home.  The tears went on and on, for it felt like ever. 

The next day at school my best friend was mad at me because her brother, my now ex-boyfriend, was very upset yesterday after seeing me.  She wanted to know what was going on.  When she brought this up I just started to cry again.  I miss him so much and I don’t know what I am going to do when he is gone for a year.  After a day of crying and eating meat for the first time in 6 years.  Also my best friend told me that her boyfriends brook up with her.  And I kissed him on the lips on accident.  I tried to kiss him on the check because he tried to lighten the mood and help me get through my break up with Michael.  And on top of all that when Michael tried to explain and ask questions about last night he saw me kiss my best friends ex but he did not know that.  What a horrible day.  Soon Michael will be leaving for a whole year.  I tried to say good bye to him by racing to the airport hoping to catch him before the plane takes off, but when I get there he is already gone.  Just then I fell to the ground and cried.  I got dragged into the cab by my body guard.  When I get home I go to my room hoping that Michael will call, text, and or email me but none of that happens.  I don’t really blame him.  Just then my phone rings, I am hoping so much at it is Michael, but it was my best friend’s ex-boyfriend.  He asks me if I want to go see a Broadway show and that is exactly what I needed to help me get over this.  I hope that Michael will at least talk to me somehow in the next year.

Sincerely,

Mia
