first persuasive paragraph
Even though students at SPA want to be independent we should still put safety first. there are many reasons why I think freshman should not be able to go on self passes. First off we live in a very dangerous and crazy world filled with alot of crazy people. Second at fourteen they dont have a job so I doubt they would be doing anything constructive. I also think that they haven't reached a level of machurity or responsibilityto have that much freedom. Not to mention the decision making. I mean from experience when teens are out roaming the streets by thereselves they tend to do stupid things.

"SPA Movie & Games Day Paragraph
Well I really wasn't going to go to school on Friday because I was very sick but, I didn't want to miss out on Ms. Priester's exciting lesson plans. Even though I was on quarantine Thursday night I still came to school. I was crushed when I herd we were having a fun day. I almost cried because I wanted to be in class learning not watching movies and playing basketball. Friday sucked and I hope it never happens again. The next time they plan a fun day at school all the kids should rebel and read textbooks. In my opinion fun days do not benefit students at all.

"SPA Theme Song"
The song I have chosen for our campus is "we are the world" by Michael Jackson and friends. The reason I think this song should be our theme song is because it symbolizes us as a people that have come from many different backrounds and have overcome many hardships. It is a very inspiring song that makes me want to help people, and since there has been so much drama on campus I figured this would be a great theme song for SPA. I hope this song would inspire all my peers as much as much as it's inspired me. The song was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, but alot of other famous artists who came together to make a song for aids relief in Africa sung on the song and did it for free.
There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one.
There are people dying
Ooohhh and it's time to lend a hand
To life, the greatest gift of all.
We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone somewhere will soon make a change.
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth
You know
Love is all we need.
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving.
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives.
It's true we make a better day
Just you and me.
Well
Send them your heart
So they know that someone cares
And that life will be stronger and free
As god has shown us by turning stone to bread
And so that we all must lend a helping hand
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we make a better day
Just you and me.
When you're down and out
And there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we could fall
Well now now now let us realize
Ohhhh that a change can only come
When we stand together as one yeah yeah yeah yeahh
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving.
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives.
It's true we make a better day
Just you and me.

"The Bass, The River, and Shelia Mant
In this story Shelia Mant is a complete airhead in my opinion. I think when you go on a date with someone you would show a little bit of interest concern attention or effction toward that person. Not Shelia mant. You could totaly tell from reading this story that shelia shows alot of apathy toward the boy thats trying to get her attention. The one very significant event that shows that Shelia Mant is a complete airhead is when her and her date are riding in the canoe and the boy catches a huge fish but doesn't reel it in because Shelia Mant hates fishing. this shows she is a airhead because the whole time she was riding in the canoe with her date she didn't know he was trying to hang on to a fish.

"Catch The Moon" falling in love
From observing married couples and, looking back on my past relationships, absolutely. Falling in love changes a persons whole mind set and the way they live there life.For example my house parents are married and have a daughter. They are constantly making sacrifices for one another that they would not usually make if they were not in love. A perfect example of changing because your in love is the story of romeo and juliet. A story about two young star crossed lovers who went against there families to be together. When people fall in love they are motivated by the person that loves them being there for them no matter what.

Halloween Memory
I remember one Halloween my brothers, cousins and I went trick or treating around the block and got so much candy. My stomach was full of apple cyder and laugher. My brother Kevin played dracula and chased us around the house like he was posessed. After we were done stuffing our faces with sweet choclatey goodnesss we turned out the lights and played hide and go seek in the pitch black. It was so fun. I will never forget that 2001 halloween. I had the stomach ach of a lifetime, But I enjoyed every second of it. That halloween was probly the most fun I've had in my life.
