Jan 31, 2018
Growing up, kids are always told not to talk to people unless they know who they are.
Sometimes, however, the people you don’t know are the ones who can lift you up the most.
I believe everyone has the power to be kind, and more people should take advantage of it.

Student writing: Work ethic
Jan 31, 2018
I believe that today’s generation for the most part does not know how to work. Some kids these days have everything handed to them by parents. A good majority of kids do not have their first job until they’re out of high school or even out of college in some cases.

Student writing: Never forget to say 'I love you'
Jan 31, 2018
I believe in always saying “I love you.” When I was child, from the time I can remember, conversations and phone calls never were ended without “I love you.”
