    Dragons' Den First Semester Week 12: Veterans Day

    I would never ever enlist in the military. One reason is because I am afraid of dying and if I join I know for sure that I am going to see like a lot of dead people, and possible end up dead, I couldn’t deal with that. Also, I met a person who joined the military and he was never the same. He would hear a noise and he would get a flashback and start worrying because it reminded him of it. Another reason is that I couldn’t stand someone yelling at me for no reason and being ok with it. Lastly, I wouldn’t be able to say “yes sir” after every sentence that would really bother me. Therefore, I do not plan to enroll in the military.

    First Person Narrator: House Parent/Lead Staff Point of View

    As I walked into the house today, on this beautiful day, I thought that the young ladies in the house need to learn some etiquette. Then, I realized that I try my best to correct them when they curse or when they are disrespectful. But since they are kids, whatever you do to help them out and be more courteous, it won’t work because at the end of the day anything you say to them comes in one ear and out the other. Then again, they are just kids so they do what they want to do. Later I noticed that they are cool kids and I don’t blame them for knowing these things. I know that they all have been dragged all over the place and I get that. So, as I went off shift, I felt like the girls are pleasant to have around.

    FlashCards.

    Question of the Week - Week 11 of First Semester 2011-2012

    Student athletes should be required to have good grades in order to play sports. A lot of people love playing sports but they know that they have to have the grades for it. So those kids who like to play but probably can’t because of their bad grades, so this can bring them up.  It also motivates them and keeps up with their grades as well. Also, when kids play sports and have good grades it most likely keeps them out of trouble. Plus having a 2.0 isn’t that hard to get. So, In order to help student athletes, schools should leave it as is with the 2.0 GPA.
