If i had the authority to make up a holiday I would choose September 11. For one, September 11 is now a part of American history. It has shaped everyones lifes drastically whether they admit it or not, for some people it has been because of their loses or for others because of the war. I believe the citizens of America should have that day off to mourn, because not just the people that were in the tower died, also people who helped rescue and clean up afterwards.

13. Write a letter to your future college roommate introducing yourself and your background.
Dear Future College Roomate:
My name is Sylvia Plath and I'm 19 years old. I am from Chula Vista, CA and it has always been my dream to become a Bruin and now here we are, I have been assigned to you as a roomate so I thought I would share somethings about myself. I come from a mexican heritage with lots of family and friends. I have a boyfriend who I've been steady with for two years now. What I'm majoring at the moment is to become a nurse practitioner and I hope to achieve. I'm a very reserved girl who doesn't like to cause problems but I will tell you if your doing something I dont quite like, apart from that you have nothing to worry about because I'm someone easy to get along with. Well i hope to see you really soon in our dorm.
Sincerely,
Sylvia Plath
14. Please describe your reactions/ideas to the following quote: "He does not possess wealth, it possesses him."
I agree with the quote "He does not posses wealth, it posses him" for many reasons. For one, many people become selfish and greedy therefore, making them do harsh things that they dont care about. Also huge corporations, like Walmart, dont apprehend their workers to their needs because they dont want to spend more money on them than they need to. Another reason would be in wealthy families where the man of the house is never home because he is always working. The man only works to recieve more and more money so that he can be shisty and have all the money therefore making the money possess the man to get more.
15. What is the most valuable contribution you could make to a college campus? Explain.
The most valuable contribution that I could make to a college campus would be my achivements. Mainly becuase most schools look for students who want to achieve. By achieving great things more future students will hear about the accomplishments making them want to choose that campus thus, making the college richer. Also, it would help the school by bringing in more intellectual students and making the school be known for its achievements.

17. Discuss some issue of personal, local, national, or international concern and its importance to you.
An issue or concern that is inter-national and personal to me is war. I -as many other people- am directly affected by the war, my brother-in-law who I truly consider a brother is in Afghanistan at the moment for 365 days. I hear about the many things that happen over there and about the tragic stories that end with a soldier less. I hear about the near deaths of him and how they are attacked everyday. I heard about the story where a car was speeding to their station and the soldiers on duty didn't know if to shoot down the car or wait for their sargent to reply with his command. Thankfully the soldiers didn't wait and started shooting down the car which was full of explosives that still managed to hit the station and injured soldiers, but not as much as it would have if the soldiers hadn't made that decision to start shooting the car down. So why does the world put themselves through so much pain and grief only to keep harming themselves? In the end the only thing war does is kill many innocent lives and destroy their country that will usually end up in debt after the war.
18. If you could choose two things to change about our high school campus, what would they be and why?
19. Should school attendance be mandatory? In your answer, be sure to explore what the function of education is, and what our nation would look like i
Education always has a major impact in human beings life whether its just the minimum of education or if they have a doctoral degree. School attendance should be mandatory to an extent where students aren't patronized for being tardy or for the way they dress. Education is a necessity in helping shape a child's life in how their personality and future life goals may be. Also, education helps modify behavior in learning from past mistakes and how to make them better, therefore, also making it a need. Our nation needs education for our society to learn the do's and don'ts of right's and duties of our country. Education also trains humans for unity and what to expect in outcomes ahead of them.
