High School
High School: a place where students come to learn and better themselves in a safe and caring environment, which will prepare them for their bright futures. Students walk through the doors in the morning sleep deprived from the hours of homework the night before, but these hours of homework are only to help the students. It helps with unlocking the true power of a student’s brain. There have been multiple studies that prove people learn better when their brains are not working. Today I am going to take you on a tour of the high school so you can see how it helps prepare these students for the rest of their life.
First, we will look at the hallways. The hallways are a maze where only the fittest can survive. People fight their way

The gym is a place for students to relive stress and work on their fitness. The gym provides enough room for people to do anything that they want: texting, sitting/sleeping on the bleachers, and participating in the occasional basketball game. The archenemy of everyone in the gym is the student who truly believes that P.E. class is the Olympics, trying as hard as he can and getting mad when he does not succeed. The gym is also a good place to learn many life skills. For example, throwing a basketball at an opponent who has just fouled you builds character and strengthens the opponent physically and mentally.
In this day and age where a student’s health is a number one priority, having sanitary bathrooms is a necessity. This high school offers some of the cleanest bathrooms around. Students write elegant language on the yellowing walls. Paper towels are thrown all over the floor and a puddle of what I hope is water is in the corner waiting for an innocent person to accidentally step in it. Without fail there is always one student that does not wash their hands.
That is the end of the tour. It was a pleasure taking you around to see the wonders of high school. As you could see during the tour this high school takes care of its students. Their safety, health, and education are our number one priorities. Now you better get going before the bell rings and the halls fill up with students rushing to go home and you are inevitably run over by the stampede

We are nearing the day of the "coming of our Lord and Savior," which signifies the need to pick-up our pace so that we will finish our earthly race and hear our Lord proclaim, "Well done thou good and faithful servant..."…

The most money will be going to the kids who've been sexually, physically, emotionally, and psychologically abused. The reason I give this group the most money is because, I feel that these punishments would be the most harsh on the children.
