Rodriguez remembers hearing her predict the future and the presents they would one day purchase for their old parents. Rodriguez uses the above terms to show the drifting of his family and himself, which makes this Christmas different. Rodriguez exposes the thoughts of both his family and himself, with quotations and interjections of his own thoughts. Not only has the Christmas room grown “uncomfortably warm” but the conversation is headed that way as well. Comments such as, “We have to get
Ian Brown Mr. Moran English I - Honors 12 March 2012 Year-Round Schooling Pro Rebuttal The issue of having year-round school in America or not has been going around for decades. This system is practiced throughout the world with the huge exception of many of our schools. Some claim that it doesn’t make a difference to a child’s scores, but spending more time in the classroom, with shorter but often breaks, can keep their mind refreshed. Even U.S. President Barack Obama stated that the hardships and new challenges in this emerging century “demand more time in the classroom.” Some opponents of this system say that our summer vacation is the perfect time to have a full time-off and that you won’t lose much of what you learned the previous school year. In fact, according to a study at the University of Missouri, they found that many students forgot over two and one-half months of whatever their grade-level equivalency is in mathematics.
He promised, hand on heart, to take good care of me and have me home for dinner on Christmas Eve” (Wolff 1). He was very attentive and tried his best to make things work.

I plan to make sure events run smoothly. That is one of my main goals. Homecoming is our responsibility and I want to make ticket sales easy when we are selling them and keep them organized. From what I have seen every year its very last minute and done haphazardly. At times, money has been lost as well.
I believe that year-round schools should be at least an option in our district. First off, and very important to the students is that a year-round school gives students and teachers with a break every 2 months or so. Additionally, if we had the option of a year-round school then it would help to prevent some students from being taken out of school often for a family vacation to Mammoth or Mexico. Lastly, a year-round school would give the teachers a more time for teaching, ultimately letting them cover the required material more thoroughly. I believe that now is the time to change our educational system as we know it for the benefit of teachers, students and their parents!
Kimberly Northcraft English 102 MWF 8:30 February 12, 2013 Exploratory Paper Does year-round education seem like a logical system to follow? The controversy of switching from the traditional school calendar to the year-round school calendar has been around for a while. Schools in America would still operate on a 180 day system, but the amount of school and vacation time will be distributed differently throughout the year. Schools would switch from long segments of schooling at a time to shorter, broken up segments. The one thing that people generally think about first is the distribution of their vacation time.

In life, I think we get too comfortable, and stop striving to do more for ourselves, whether it be physically, mentally, or emotionally. We grow content living in status quo. This experience he had with Robert, gave him insight to that. And I feel he will be a different person in the morning, however, it will take some work to keep that mind state. Changes don’t happen overnight, or with a snap of the finger.
Questions for why I want to be an RA/CA 1. I would like to be an RA/CA because it would help improve my public speaking and not be so apprehensive when I need to confront my peers. Over the past year I have changed. I am more open and willing to show myself to my peers. Being an RA/CA will help improve me being much more responsible with a job.
