Although, it’s made me feel like I’ve finally done something worthwhile. The decision to switch majors, for me, has been a blessing in disguise. I love the new major, and I…

When I was young I was never the best at reading even though my parents owned many books and magazines that they read on a daily basis. My mother enjoyed reading her gossip magazines that she would receive in the mail once a month and my father had a whole bookshelf full of history books.

My first job taught me a very important lesson, how to stay away from trouble. When I was 16 years old, I started working…

the causes would be for other reasons. Requiring students to wear the same uniforms will not minimize the amount of bullying and peer pressure students feel throughout their school day. V. CONCLUSION It is now at the beginning of the 2015-2016 academic school year that we begin to discuss the desire of requiring all schools within the district wear school uniforms.

I attended a wonderful specialty school in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota that challenged me and allowed me to show how good at learning I was. Right before my fourth grade year I moved to Buda, Texas. The new school I attended will never compare to how remarkable the last one was. Still, I proved how keen on learning I was.…
