    • 5 Pages

    “That will be two dollars, ninety-nine cents, please.” For American consumers, this is a phrase heard quite often. The purchaser will proceed to pull three dollars out of their wallet to receive a shiny penny back. Although currently the lowest denomination coin of the U.S. currency, the penny has a long and illustrious history. With this in mind, one cannot help but wonder why anyone would even consider eliminating the penny. It may seem that the penny is worthless, a waste of time, and…

    How often in your everyday life use the penny? The United States government is debating on whether they should continue making pennies or if they should lay it to rest. Many people believe the penny should stay while others think it should be abolished.

    On June 14, 1984, at the age of twelve, I moved to the United States of America in the hope and dream of becoming an American citizen in the “land of opportunity.” The transition from the Jamaican culture to the American culture was difficult to get accustomed to. I was taught to read, write and speak the Standard American English which is basically a foreign tongue to the Jamaican people causing much pain and anguish. There was a point where I wanted to give up on reading and writing altogether…

    I’ve always seen myself as a realist. I try to plainly say things as I see them with as little bias as possible. Alongside that I have also given my best effort to try and see things from other perspectives. There is always another way to look at life and all of its bits and pieces and I love challenging myself to do so. Frankly however, it is far from easy.
