We have recently had a friend, a family member, and a life partner pass away and ascend to a greater place. We can thank this individual for making our Earth a better place due to their constant support and love. Jasmin always was what we would call a stable being, a support system. A support system provides all types of support ranging from emotional backing to financial backing. Now, how was Jasmin a whole support system? Well, even though she would never admit half of the wonderful things she did, she did indeed complete many wonderful things. Starting from a young age, when after her parents got into an argument with her dear older sister, she wrote them a letter with the standard five year old grammar and writing style to when she gave away some of her most expensive and high quality clothing when she realized her health was beginning to falter some.

The years of her childhood and teen-hood were filled with various moments of unconditional support towards loved ones and strangers. Friends over the years were grateful and appreciative of her support. One friend from her many years of dance during her childhood once said that just Jasmin’s presence in a space was calming and made her feel balanced in stressful situations, which were often apparent in the dance world. Jasmin was always thankful for comments and remarks like that one because she could become quite anxious herself. She often said herself that her unconditional support came from her own uneasiness with life. She handled these feelings with grace and throughout her life worked hard on fighting them like the warrior she was. I believe that others believing that she had a calming presence like her friend said made her more likely to truly be calm within
No matter what obstacle or challenges we faced, we still managed to find solutions to our problems and kept being optimistic.

I think it is interesting that all of us seem to be concerned with the termination of Mrs. Dubin. I'm wondering if we seem to have a great interest in this matter because most of us are teachers and can relate to the teacher more than the principal at this point. I do have a few questions about this very thing.

Educational budget cuts are hitting children’s passions in a negative way. School, teachers, and extra activities are a safe place for some children. Lynda Barry is showing how school can be a safe place for children, like it was for her. School and teachers can save children from their negative home life. In Barry’s essay she shows how school was her safe place, and how educational budget cuts are bad. Lynda Barry’s position that educational budget cuts are bad is correct, because for some children school and teachers the only safe place they have, extra school activities can help keep troubled children off the streets, and educational budget cuts may take a child’s passion away such as music, arts, sports, and so on.
Have you ever felt stuck? Wherever you are, it’s the absolute last place you want to be. In the book Into the Wild, Chris McCandless feels stuck just like the average everyday person may feel. Chris finds his escape plan to the situation and feels he will free himself by going off to the wild. I agree with the author that Chris McCandless wasn’t a crazy person, a sociopath, or an outcast because he got along with many people very well, but he did seem somewhat incompetent, even though he survived for quite some time.

The Toulmin method effectively analyzes and dissects different parts of arguments and allows people to form judgements on how well the different parts of the arguments work together. “Is Education Primarily the Result of Influences Other Than School” analyzes the roles that specific factors play in the education of individuals, specifically the role that school plays. The author effectively explains their warrant and coherently presents the claim. This argumentative paper does not provide adequate evidence to support its claim, does not utilize qualifiers, and does not provide sufficient rebuttals to counterarguments.
...er. Using this knowledge of behaviors that often occur among people with a Bipolar Disorder, we can tell the story of her struggle with a mental illness, which at the time was known but could not be treated.

What makes a good person good? According to WikiHow, "We should learn to define our own morals ourselves. One of the simplest ways to do so is to love others, and treat them as you would like to be treated. Try to think of others before yourself. Even doing small things daily will greatly enrich and improve your life, and the lives of others around you." This quote shows us what we need to do in order to be what society thinks as, “good". In order to be a good person, you have to do good and moral things in your society consistently. However people might think that by doing one good thing once in a while will automatically make you a “good person”, but in reality it doesn’t.
