plant-based diet costs the same or less than the diet they are on. One way it could cost less would be if they planted a garden in their backyard or if they made a community garden. Planting a garden could also help bring a community together. A Minneapolis community has already done this. One person decided to use a vacant lot that had been empty for years.

The history of basketball wasn’t really even created to be an individual sport itself. It was actually supposed to be a daily exercise or indoor activity in the YMCA. It was being in use for off season football players. They called a man to create the indoor activity. His name was James Naismith. (Sportsknowhow.com) He made a ball out of rubber in a sort of volleyball form and put up fruit baskets for hoops.

Mr. Ourada had been drinking” (Smith 240). What will happen if a similar incident takes place on a college campus instead of a bar? Many college students attend parties on a Sunday night, consuming alcohol…

5My mother is an incredible person. She has endured so much in her lifetime that I couldn’t possibly imagine living through. On top of being a wonderful mother, she is also a business owner so she has to juggle work life with home life constantly.
