Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez is an undocumented immigrant who has been deported from the United States five times. In the summer of 2016 Mr. Sanchez shot and killed thirty-two year old Kathryn Steinle who was walking on Pier 14 in San Francisco with her father. In early September her parents filed a claim against the city of San Francisco and its federal officials. Months before in March, San Francisco sheriff Ross Mirkarmi informed jail staff that they would no longer disclose information about illegal immigrants to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. Mr. Sanchez had been released from jail in April even though the ICE had planned to take him into custody to deport him.…
Surviving through mountains, deserts, mean natives, and big bodies of water is not something that we will face in the 20th century, but back in the 15 hundredths, this is something people battled every day. Among those people were Cabeza de Vaca. “ The second raft was blown ashore on the same island, which the men named Isle de Malhado, the Island of Bad Luck.” (Background Essay) How did he survive?…
Winnit wanted to put up a statue to show his religion, but he put it right in front of another religious statue. Official take it down thus making Winnit mad, so he files a lawsuit demanding to put it back up. The District court ruled in favor of the officials saying that it wasn’t a violation of freedom of exercise of religion, and if the troll was kept would act as government speech, which is a violation of the First Amendment. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed with both the District and eventually the Supreme Court. I have a dissenting opinion with the majority with the Supreme Court.…
Archbishop Williams High School appears to me like a great place to thrive educationally and socially. Five of my cousins have attended Archbishop Williams High School and my grandmother and her sister also attended Archbishop Williams High School. They all have nothing but positive feedback about the school and it’s environment. They all went on to exceptional colleges after Archbishop Williams High School. I also have a friend who went to Archbishop Williams in eighth grade two years ago when it was first offered.…
The year is 3031… Except it’s not really 3031. In fact, it’s not really any year because the government decided that civilians knowing the year apparently gives us too much power. All records and calendars were ordered to be destroyed back in 2020. Back then, the Ancients tried to continue keeping track of the years and for decades they were successful.…
Marlise Munoz’s life was cut short by what is believed to be a blood clot in her lungs. A pregnant spouse with a son already born about a year ago, she was in the kitchen but collapsed, resulting in her becoming brain-dead. As her family was preparing for the doctors to pull the plug at John Peter Smith Hospital in Texas, the family received shocking news; the hospital was unwilling to disconnect life support, as she was pregnant. Texas, along with over twenty other states in the U.S., do not allow pregnant women to be taken off of life support, regardless of their condition and/or wishes. Disconnecting life support would end up classifying as “abortion.”…
Over the course of my high school years, I have practically been living with the topic of human genetic engineering. After watching the film Gattaca in my freshman biology class, I immediately clung to this topic, fascinated by what this technology was capable of. But most importantly, the extent to which this could negatively impact the future of American society. I went on to, not only, write a research paper on this topic my sophomore year, but also decided to argue my stance during my AP World History debate. When Junior year rolled around, I, along with my fellow AP Lang peers, were assigned the LRC Speech, in which we were asked to create an argumentative speech for both sides of a controversial issue.…

In the articles “Three Cheers for the Nanny State,” “Ban the Ban!,” and “Soda’s a Problem but…”, all three authors present their arguments with facts, opinions, and counterclaims. However, one article presents itself better than the rest. I believe that the article “Soda’s a Problem, but...” was the most convincing article. Sarah Conly- the author who wrote “Three Cheers for the Nanny State”- argues that the soda restriction is a good idea because people would be stopped from making foolish decisions that they’ll pretty definitely regret.…
Marin Sinzer should be charged as an adult instead of a minor, even though he was a minor when he committed the crime. Sinzer is now thirty-eight years old and is an adult. There are no statues of limitations in the state of Missouri for murder. Sinzer should be charged as an adult because he withheld information from the police, he knew what he did was wrong, and if he was charged as a minor he would be put with juveniles in juvenile detention and juveniles and adults are not allowed to be housed together.…

With the Emancipation Proclamation signed by Abraham Lincoln, the status of slavery within the country is hence abolished. Historians argue whether the abolition of slavery is a direct connection to what Lincoln did. Some argue that it was from the pressure of slaves themselves.…
Hungry for Change Why is it that law mandates public school meals have a minimum calorie intake, but not a maximum? This owes itself to the fact that when nutrition standards were established for public schools, it was to solve the problem of undernourishment. The majority of school aged children used to walk to school, played more outside, and were more active in sports. This resulted in children burning more calories than school meals provided.…
