The NJASK was a lot easier than I expected it to be. It was kind of like Kingda Ka, all hype. I'm sure I got at least two questions wrong, but I think I got the rest right. I feel good about what I did on the test. I hope everybody else fells this way because it's a good feeling looking back on the most important test of the year and "I nailed it." It makes you feel like you can fly, but when you try jump out your window not off your bed. There's no better way to end the school year than to go to the hospital. If the NJASK is that easy every year, there will be no problem. Math didn't really need to prepare us for it, but I understand why english did. Writing stamina is not an easily accomplished thing.  It takes practice. I'm glad I didn't forget the perfectly made buger. I ate it during the test. Actully it was three. The secret sauce was amazing, my complements to the chef. Thank you Rebecca, I made it special for the NJASK. I see that, it is better than it ever has been before, Rebecca. This break paid to you by Mrs. Patalano's buger method. I have no more, have a nice summer!

Often we get tired of failing over and over and still trying to do whaatever they are. "Fall down seven times, stand up eight." Japanese proverb Do we hate this quote so much. It pushes to keep trying even when we fail every time we tried. Failing is not an easy thing. It shatters our esteem and makes it near impossible to get back up.
In my life I constantly got bad grades on my report card. I tried as hard as I could. I just couldn't get the grades I wanted. I didn't want to get up.  Getting up seemed to do no good. I decided to get up one more time. When I did I got Bs. The next marking period I got As. I was so happy. The win was more savory. Sweeter somehow.
Abraham Linclon was a great president, but he had to get over many bumps in the road. He was constantly told no. It was defeated many times. This might have caused him to become dicoraged, but he didn't show it . He kept trying living his life by this quote and eventually became one of the best presidents in United States history.
"We must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy." It is easy to give up and let yourself be taken away." J. K. Rowling To give in to the ebb of life. It is hard to get up again, but it's the right thing to do. How do you know that if you hadn't given up, you wouldn't have freed the slaves.

Dear Superintedent Richard O'Malley,

Occasionally on the news there is a school shooting or someone drug overdosing. When these occur everyone watching is disturbed. The Edison School Board has made a proposal to institute random locker searches. Little to no students will agree with this propsal. There are numerous negative consequences. It is a violation of our Constitutional rights. I will not actually improve safety. It will waste the administrators valuable time.
The Constitution clearly states that no one is subject to search without just cause. The school board is doing just that. There is no reason, just that there is a remote possibility that someone may have illegal paraphernalia. Those who agree with this proposal might say that if someone looks fine they may just be good at hiding things. This is facile. Ninety nine point nine percent of the time if someone looks fine they are fine.
The entire reason for this proposal is to improve safety. This will not atually happen. If someone has a messy locker it will be near impossible to find anything, let alone something the the temporary owner of the locker was trying to hide. If you did try to look through the trash in the locker it might all flow out. The person not bring the illegal paraphernalia to school that day. Those who oppose my opinion will probably say that they will clean it if they know someone is going to be searching it. Maybe students who don't have illegal things in their locker.
The administrators have many things to do. They are in charge of a school. Forcing them to search lockers will take up their time. They could be setting a student. Inspiring a boy/girl to stop messing around and throw themselves into school. The people who want this proposal to go through will most likely say that if an administrator finds the illegal paraphernalia that it will all be worth it. On almost all the searches nothing will be found. Usually if the person has something they will be acting suspiciously.
This proposal will not be beneficial to the school. It violates the students rights. The safety of the school will not actually improve. it will waste the administrators valuable time. This proposal will start an avoidable war.

"The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to take in higher esteem those who think alike than those who act differently." In a world of so many conformists we need at least a couple who "take the road less traveled by." Many public schools are beginning to use uniforms. They believe that they promote academic performance. Edison township plans to enforce a mandatory uniform policy in their public schools. While there may have some positive effects, the negative outweigh them. The policy would infringe on the rights given to us in the Constitution. It would cause students to rebel in better places. The uniforms would cost much more money.
A uniform policy would infringe on the rights given to us buy the first amendment of the Constitution. This amendment states clearly that everybody has the freedom of the expression. This includes students. Schools are already breaching our freedom of speech. Any more than that just shown that the membors of the school bourd do not care about a document created specifically for our country that took many years to write. Some people might say that people don't express themselves through their clothes, but their words, their spirit, their personality. Students do not know how to show everybody who they are without their clothes. They embed themselves through their clothes. The Constitution is the most important document in American history. No one should try to violate that.
If students cannot control their clothes, they will want to take control of the larger issues. Children, like all of us, just want control of their own lives. They can't control much, but they can control their clothes. Taking this away would cause an extreme, negative reaction. Without clothes to take control of they would take control of more important things, such as homework. Some people may argue that students would not actually do this. That they care too much about their grades. The truth is kids know that the teachers and principals would not enjoy a good percentage receiving Fs. Clothes are a miniscule item compared to homework.
It would cost a great deal more for parents to buy the uniforms than regular clothes. Instead of buying seven to ten outfits, they would have to by 13 to 14. Uniforms would also be much more expensive than everyday clothes.  They would also have to pay more money for water and detergent considering they only have three or four outfits during the week. Those on the side of the uniform policy might say that it costs less because they only have to buy three or four outfits. This is wrong because do kids really want to go home and wear their uniform. They're not going to want to wear it on the weekends either. This might cause families to go into poverty.
Uniforms have some beneficial qualities, but the negative tip the scale. A uniform policy would infringe on the rights given to us buy the first amendment of the Constitution. If students cannot control their clothes, they might take control of a bigget issues. It would cost a great deal more for parents to buy the uniforms than regular clothes. A uniform policy would cause an uproar among sudents, parents, and the founding fathers.

Nobody likes carrying around big heavy books. A bookenator solves this problem. It shrinks books without fail. It would be prudent to sponsor the bookenator for many reasons. It is a fantastic product with very little downside.

Everyone will want a bookenator. There is no product quite like the bookenator. Twenty-five percent of students carry backpacks 20% or more of their body weight on a daily basis. The bookenator anilities this problem. The bookenator contains three smells chosen by a survey of our target audience. The bookenator will clearly be the talk of the town.

The bookenator will earn your company numerous amounts of money if you cooperate. With just an ad, in a small known newspaper, the bookenator sold 1,000 units in the period of two weeks. People will pay an abundance of money considering the lowest price for a device like this is 139 dollars. The bookenator exceeds that product’s value. The bookenator is very cheap to make. For those reasons the profit margin will be high.

Only our engineers have the ability to manufacture this product. It is an advanced piece of software. While easy to make once you are trained, you need to be trained for a month. Our engineers have already been trained, but some companies do not want to wait the month. The bookenator is a new way of thinking, so other companies would not have been working on ways to create a product similar to ours. With no competitors, the bookenator would excel because people would be required to buy from us.

The bookenator is a sensational product. Everybody will want a bookenator. It will make your corporation an excess of money. It is a product that only our engineers can manufacture. The sponsorship of the bookenator would not be good, but essential to staying ahead of your competitor.

Reflection on Something or another

Looking back at my commercial, there are things that I enjoyed, but it was not perfect there were some things I could change. I like that my commercial was funny. It really seemed to engage the audience. Humor is always a good way to keep your audience interested. It was also creative. I did not settle for an old idea that everyone has used. The commercial showcased my talents. One of them was my great announcer voice. Every commercial needs an announcer to move the plot along and tell about the product. I also thought my Barack Obama voice was good although it was better the time we didn't use. In my commercial I feel we could improve on the memorazation of our lines. If you don't remember what your sopposed to do it it throws the whole commercial off track. Luckily we managed to get back on track. We could also improve our commercial by adding more people, but we did the best we did with what we had. If there is a next time I feel a statistic or the bandwagon approach would have been fun to try. There were highs and lows throughout the creative process. A particular high was creating the bookenator. It was fun to see how to make my idea a reality. It was also amusing when I practiced my Obama voice. The next time I write I hope to try to persuade my audience without hiding behind humor. A real product speaks for itself so does a real writer. I could also make it a little biut shorter and showcase the really important points. Each project you to should impart some wisdom. From this project I learned that you may think you know the words, but you don't. Even if you practice it a countless number of times, your memory may fail you. I enjoyed this project very much.

I'm sure that there were many commercials sent into you and I'd like to take the time to thank you for looking over my commercial. Without further adu, I'd like to present the reasons for which you should choose my commercial to air on television. It showcases the good of the product and glimmers over the bad. This is an excellent product, but it does have faults. If somebody did a commercial and said every fault with a product the consumer would not want to buy the product. On the flipside, if you don't even talk about the faults, somebody will tell them, and they will be repulsed from the product. You need to present the downside, but give a reason for why the fault doesn't matter. That is exactly what I did. In a commercial you need to approach the product in a humerous way. When a commercial makes me laugh it makes me want to buy the product even if I don't need it. Humer makes people interested. It makes a commercial personalized and brings them in. It shows the watcher how it works and how easy it is to use. In todays society accessability is essential. My commercial shows how this is exactly why the BookEnator was invented.
