Florida Bill Opinion

Florida Bill Article

After reading about the Florida Bill, my opinion on buying sweets with food stamps is that people who own a food stamp card should be allowed to buy sweets. They should be allowed to buy anything they would like. People are different from each other, and they have different ways of eating, exercising, and living. So, if that person wants to purchase a lot of sweets, that's up to them. If they want to purchase healthy and hearty foods, that's up to them. It really shouldn't matter to the government. Because the stamps are in their possession now, they can buy any type of food they want to buy.

The Person That Inspires Me

The person that inspires me the most is Kobe Bryant. He inspires me because he never gives up. Even though he broke his nose and could have sat out for some of the season, he still played. He did not give up,and plays like his nose is not broken.

I can relate to Kobe because last year in school my grades were not good. I never gave up. I tried hard,and they did go up. That's why Kobe inspires me.

Ain't I a Woman?
Sojourner Truth

In 1851 Sojourner Truth gave a speech in Akron,Ohio to a group of women's rights advocates. She was making a statement that women are just as important as men are and that women can do anything a man could. She was disputing the stereotypes that all women are weak and are not smart, and the truth of the matter is that now in 2012 more women are graduating high school and receiving their college degrees. Men and women are just as important as each other and should embrace the fact that their genders are recognized for being intellectual and important beings. -ac :)

The importance of being grateful

I would have to say that in my 15 years I really didn't appreciate life enough. When I was younger and earlier this year I always wanted things to go my way, and I always took life as a big joke. I complained on how things weren't good enough for me, or it wasn't something that I liked. I was just really ungrateful and selfish. When I look back on my actions and realize how ungrateful I was, I just get so angry with myself. I never thought to myself and said, "There are other people out in the world who don't have anything (like clothing and shelter), and I sit around being a selfish person and not be grateful for anything." Now I see how important it is to be happy with what you have and to be a grateful person.
