1. Beginning on August 22nd, I started English 101 with the ambition to finish with an outstanding grade. In full honesty, getting assistance with assignments tends to be one of the main mistakes I repeat.

Since my schedule includes honors classes, clubs/organizations, and participation in community service my time exists
Bullying Goes High-tech” by Elizabeth Landau, there are many connections with the topic bullying. Ashley and Rachel were both bullied by their classmates, but in different ways.

Some people think if we did not have guns there would be less crime in the United States, but that is not true.
