The Pros And Cons Of Watching The Goonies
Watching the Goonies was a good experience, in class was actually the first time i’ve ever seen

the full movie. The goonies went on an adventure to find riches and save their homes, if I knew I was

going to lose my home I would do everything I could to help save it. Obviously, life isn’t exactly the

same way it is in the movie, I can’t just go on a random treasure hunt and come across jewels and gold.

In reality, it would depend on how close me and my family are to losing the house to where I distinguish

which measures I have to take. If I was told that my home was going to be taken from me I would feel

devastated, a home is the most important thing, not only is it a roof over your head but it’s where you

grew up. The home is

If I had enough money to make a change in our school I would definitely change the hours up.

80% of high school students get less than 8 hours of sleep every night before going to school. The

students are sleeping in class and if they aren’t they are zombie mode all day. They stay in school longer

than how long they sleep. Doing schoolwork on little sleep also has negative effects, people who take

quizzes, tests and exams while sleepy are more likely to flunk than a student who had 8+ hours of sleep

the night prior to the assignment. I would also change the lunches in school. Half the time schools are

saying they are providing basic nutrition and wellness for their students with their meals but really it is a

sandwich, a serving of fruit and greens, and milk. I don’t know too much about health and nutrition but

for some reason I always thought that meal was not really doing the job, especially for growing

teenagers that most likely skip breakfast every day.

I think the developers thought it was okay to take people’s homes away because it is almost

necessary in some occasions to do so. People go on for months without paying their bills sometimes

    I robustly believe that the school hour should start later in the day. Eisenhower High School needs to change the early hour they start at so students can perform their academic best. Unquestionably, many students are not learning all they can due to lack of sleep. Studies have shown that students brains do not wake up or start working until later in the morning. It is recommended that students get 8.5 to 9.5 hours of sleep each night, but many students get less hours than what is recommended.…

    With or without the average amount of sleep needed, it plays a crucial piece in a person’s daily life, impacting their performance and deciding their sleep rhythm. This can be seen in the book, Encyclopedia of Sleep and Dreaming, where it begins to explain how the effects of a full night’s sleep and an all nighter would help a student perform differently; while studying all night is good for immediate memory, those memories would soon be forgotten. However, a full night of rest would allow for permanent memories and an increase in your mental capacity for your learning material. (Carskadon 25). In addition, because all nighters are good for immediate memory, they are good for tests that require memory only ,however a full night of rest would be more beneficial for tests using combination and imagination because it affects one’s creative and spontaneous actions (Carskadon 26). While many students pull all nighters, most of the time it will be unbeneficial to the student because a large amount of the info retained late at night will be forgotten, affecting their performance on the test either way by the lack of sleep or by the reduced amount of time to study. Many students affected by sleep deprivation will also be affected in their daily life which could be seen in a student dozing during class time. If a student begins to doze during class, this would then lead…

    One of the main reasons early school start times are bad for teenagers is that it makes them seriously sleep deprived. When waking up around 6 or 7 a.m., students are lucky to get making 6 hours of sleep, when they’re supposed to get about 9 hours, because they stay up doing homework or another activity they were supposed to do the night before. In the article “School Start Times and Sleep”, the author explains this topic in more detail by saying “Evidence suggests that teenagers are indeed, seriously sleep…

    Making this change would result in many things like: kids being productive, young teens staying off the streets, etc. Many parents would disagree with this decision and some may agree. Its pro's and con's with this change, but many may have to overlook those facts and look at the positive things that will result from a change being made. Benefiting high school teenagers isn't easy at all. Coming to there sense, some teens have decided to argue the position that high schools' should start and end later in the day.…

    Many negative consequences result from the ongoing sleep deprivation. Students find it hard to wake up in the morning, not necessarily because they are lazy, but because their body clock is mismatched with the demands of life, and because irregular sleep interferes with their sleep cycle; resulting in increased difficulties falling asleep at night and waking up in the…

    After interviewing for a seat at Concorde’s Dental Hygiene Program in Dallas, I encountered a problem that I had to solve very unwillingly. Granted my acceptance, my husband and I had to decide if we were going to move or not. With him being in the Army stationed at Fort Hood, he couldn’t possibly move to Dallas. Fortunately, my in-laws whom reside in the Dallas area offered for me to stay with them while I was in the program. I of course accepted that offer. But considering I would have to quit my job if I was accepted, and my husband and I would go down to one income, something had to give in order for us to save money and not break the bank. We concluded that we would have to downsize from our beautiful three bedroom two bathroom home with the most beautiful lawn you have ever seen (due to my husband’s hard work). After only living there for about a year and a half, neither one of us wanted to move, but it had to be done. Hence we started looking for a smaller place. We would find one that we loved, but they had a strict no dog policy. With two dogs over 50 pounds, we couldn’t exactly sneak by that rule. Therefore the house hunting continued. One day, my husband was told by one of his fellow soldiers that he and his family were being moved to Hawaii and that his duplex would be up for rent in May. He said that we wouldn’t have to pay a…

    Sleep Deprivation

    It’s proven that restricted sleep in a stimulated classroom led to lower quiz scores, more inattentive behaviors and lower arousal. Due to an impressive workload, sleep disturbances seem especially prevalent in medical students and residents. These studies are conducted to help benefit students, and get them aware of their sleep patterns and the true proficiency to these studies. In addition to air, water, and food, the only other biological necessity our bodies require is sleep (Gregory, Xie, & Mengel, 2004). Sleep is critical for memory consolidation, learning, decision making, and critical thinking (Harrison & Horne, 2000; Mednick, Nakayama, & Stickgold, 2003; Pilcher & Walters, 1997; Smith & Lapp, 1991). Sleep is thus necessary for the optimal operation of key cognitive functions related to academic, and perhaps social, success in higher education.…

    The second effect is sleep problems. Why is this so? If you are cramming, you are staying up later than usual to jam all of that material into your head. Students who do not have enough sleep have trouble learning, which further pushes them into the academic hole. Furthermore, students might take stimulants to help them stay awake through the night. These powerful types of drugs can cause imbalances and harm in the body, and possibly even create an addiction if the student keeps using them.…
