“Where Have You Gone, Charming Billy?” Enlist Paragraph

When I am 18 I think that I would want to enlist in the military. The military has many things to offer. There are veterans rights and benefits that would be good to have afterward, but I would mainly be doing it to help other people. If I were to enlist in the army it would be to protect other people, and to have the opportunity to help other people even in other countries. I think it would be a good opportunity to learn many things like discipline and honor. People who are in the military are usually more respected and looked up to by others. One thing I would not want to happen would for me to be drafted. Being drafted is forcing someone into war with out them being willing. People who are really against war could be drafted and never want to go in it, but would be forced. Wars traumatize many people and if I didn't want to go into a war I would not want to be drafted.

Primary and Secondary Sources Comparison

Primary and secondary sources are similar in only a few ways. They are similar because they are both sources of information where someone gets there knowledge from. They are more different then they are similar. A primary source is different because it is information from a direct source. An example of a primary source would be an autobiography, diary, personal essays, or an interview. Secondary sources are a source that is a second hand account, and the author of it was not there for the accounts. Examples of secondary sources are biographies, history books, and newspapers. Primary and secondary sources are helpful because they are usually a good source of information and are extremely helpful when someone is in need of information.

Feelings about the CAHSEE

This year I am taking the CAHSEE (High School Exit Exam) and I am so nervous. I know that I will do good because I have been going to all the CAHSEE preps that Mr. Fenick has held for us. In the preps there has olny been about 4 or 5 kids that have shown up to each one. I hope that the other kids who did not come to the preps do good. I really hope that I do good on it the first time because I don't want to have to take it over again next year in my junior year. I cant wait until this is over so that we do not have to do any more PLATO in our English class for warm-ups because they are starting to get a little boring and even though I am learning many things from them that I should already know , I would rather be doing more interesting things for class. I know that I am going to do good though. I know that I am prepared for it, that morning I am going to wake up early in the morning and make sure I have a good breakfast.
