I am writing you today to ask for your support. This year, on Saturday, August 5, I will be riding in my first Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC), from Wellesley to Bourne. The PMC raises money for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. My employer, Waters Technologies Corporation, is sponsoring a team for the first time, so I decided to join “Team Waters.” I will be riding in honor of my Mom, a breast cancer survivor and in memory of my sister, Jayne, who on May 17, 2017 lost her battle to liver and colon cancer.…
Lately there have been a lot of break-ins and armed robberies in Jimboomba by ‘teenagers’. They’ve been demanding money from store clerks, some with knifes, baseball bats, and anything in between. To be honest I do not find the joy in doing such a thing, I believe that if you work hard enough to earn a living you will feel as if you have done well in this life and honestly I wouldn’t feel good knowing I have someone else’s hard earned money all to myself. I know that some of the crimes committed aren’t so bad, but the teens should be punished to learn from their mistakes, I believe that by doing so it will cause the community to feel safer and engage the government to make Jimboomba a better place to live.…

It's Friday. You and a few mates go out to the lake for a night of old-fashioned shenanigans. Johnny brought the beer, Mickey brought the cigarettes and you brought the Run DMC discography. Everything is set up for a perfect night with the gang, that is until something goes wrong. Amidst all the hullabaloo, neither you, Johnny or Mickey brought a lighter or bottle opener. You start to panic but what's this? That nerd Gunther showed up and he has an iPhone that can do it all. You can be cool like Gunther too. Here are five things to know about it.…
In Shakespeare’s popular drama Julius Caesar, a group of senators ferociously murder the Roman dictator Julius Caesar at the Capitol in Rome. Marcus Antonius(Antony) is one of Caesar’s most-trusted friends, and one of the few who does not betray him. At Caesar’s funeral, Antony motivates the citizens of Rome to turn against the conspirators and avenge the death of Julius Caesar. His oration at the funeral is packed with persuasive devices including specific evidence, verbal irony, and props to manipulate the minds of the people in the crowd to mutiny against Caesar’s killers. The contents of this essay look at the persuasive devices Antony uses and evaluates their effectiveness on the crowd. In his speech, Antony uses specific examples to explain how Caesar emulates the qualities of a fine leader.…
Okay. I am not going to lie because I am somewhat worried about this murder. Everyone has the same pieces of information to use so therefore it is the tiny details that will allow me to survive. Obviously, this will be not like like some beautiful nights on Broadway or an amazing Saturday in the Park, but I will do my best to survive and get first spared. This is how I believe the killer murdered Jason...…
Why buy an American made vehicles you ask? I’ll tell you why because buying American made vehicles creates American made jobs. Everyone knows that American made vehicle’s make a distinctive sound. Take for instance the Ford mustang and the Chevy corvette. Who doesn’t like the sound of these vehicles or design? A few things I will discuss about American made manufactures will be the quality they put forth in designing these vehicles, the job security it helps with in America and how American manufactures have now stepped up to the plate with their new innovated designs for the auto industry.…

My fellow strong, and courageous Athenians, I have come to you all in the assembly to propose a solution that would help our city-state. I propose the following to the assembly. I believe that women should be able to be considered citizens, to attend an assembly, and have the same rights you all have. Before you all start to whisper among yourselves and go against my statement, just think about what it would mean if the women were considered citizens in our city-state. We would be so much powerful, and that’s because the women if they had an education they would be able to help us make the right choices. Therefore it would give this city-state power and making us the strongest, in strategy wise. Also if you think about it after what happened…

PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
