Awards

motivation killers? Kids should not be given a participation awards because in giving a kid an award just for participating they won’t learn the importance of trying their hardest and try to be the best. Although others (particularly parents) may argue that it is a good thing to give every kid a trophy, because if you don’t some kids may feel left out or not appreciated. There are many positive effects that giving out participation awards give to children. But, there are just as many if not…

The Australian of the Year Award. Dylan Aclcott presented a sincere voice to encourage and motivate audiences. The employment of language devices distinguishes his voice and expresses his identity to an extent, amplifying the power of his emotional influences. The quote "I used to hate having a disability."

One reason this scholarship award is important to my family and I is because of the price.

Although my parents do not seem too concerned about the upcoming price tag of college, I know that I want to do as much as possible to lower the price. Whether it is working or filling out scholarships, I want…

Hannah Anderson Mr. Bertelsen English 3 23 February 2017 1st place, 2nd place, last place. These days it seems like no matter what place you get you receive some sort of prize or award. I don’t think that everyone should receive a prize because that way kids won’t be learning anything for the real world when they grow up, not everyone deserves it, and getting first won’t seem like such a big deal. If kids are rewarded for everything they do, no matter how well they do it that won’t be…
