"Carrie Cotto, who serves as school nurse at Geraldine W. Johnson School in Bridgeport," = Setting, the time and place in which the action of literary work occurs 

"I treat every child here as if they were my own," = Mood/Tone , I feel it puts a really good warming welcoming mood across the whole piece when she adds that line in the article. It makes me feel like she really enjoys her job as being a nurse and takes pride in what she does. 

"It's very important to make sure that I have covered all the bases with the kids," said Cotto on a recent morning. She said every visit requires asking the right questions, making the proper assessment, determining potential follow-up and educating students on ways to protect their health in the future. = Foreshadowing because it describes what the article is going to be about and just gives a brief introduction on what later on comes out of the story 





"A nurse with many hats" is an article about a nurse who switched over from being a nurse at a middle school to being a school supervisor. She explains how she enjoys her job as being a nurse and her passion for her job with working with the children and teaching them the right ways to become a more healthier community for school. She describes how much the technology and the program has changed so much since the date that she started back in.  The nurses describe their job as "Every day is a wonder around here" but they concluded that they feel complete that they gave so many children the oppritunity to learn about safe ways to keep healthy and clean lifestyle. The nurses play a huge role in the school and they think of the children "as one of their own" and feel so much at home when they give them hugs of comfort.

After reading the editorial on the shopping cart accident I was completely in shock that a 12 year-old boy would actually perform this horrible act! The worst part about the whole thing is he stated  "I knew people was down there and somebody could have got hurt," at 12 years old don't you think you would develop some common sense? An editorial in Georgia wrote a reflection on what she thinks to have been a inappropriate act too "When 12-year-olds are dropping heavy objects on innocent passersby for sport . . . at least one of society's wheels is completely off the rails,". The housing that the boy stays at claims that he has "leadership potential" but I feel that is no reason why he should be released from any consequence he could of honestly killed the lady just because he wasn't thinking straight and wanted to be humorous... I agree with the court with putting him on punishment for up to 18 months for what he did. I don't think some of the people fully understand how serious the situation could of happened and the boy is very fortunate that the lady didn't die from his stupidity. 

Thankful four

Opinion prompt # 13

Opinion Prompt 13. We should replace number grades with letter grades


In my opinion I think that changing the number grades into letter grades is a horrible idea. In middle school we basically did that and I hated the whole idea of it. It really confused me in a way because you never knew your exact grade and it was just a solid letter. With letter grades there is so much more you have to understand about them also like what each one means like for example A-  which is around the 90 to 95 range and A+ is 95 through 100 range and it follows down all the way to a F or in Guilderland they would most likely use an U for failing. It would save so much extra time just giving us the percentage grade and give the students an exact placement for where they know their grades are. Letter grades are completely old school and un necessary to an academic grading system.  

I want a write about # 96

Through out my whole life I feel I have been taught many lessons and have been given a lot of valuable advice but one that really has the a lot of meaning to me is "Life isn't always fair, but it's still good". Going back on the piece advice I have heard it many times come out of peoples mouths but never really thought about how true it comes to play in life. There has been times where I didn't make the sports team or I thought I deserved something over other people and not given an oppritunity because someone else took it. Those are only some of the few examples that surround that quote, life isn't always going to be exactly as you planned it out to be. Yeah, you could say it's not fair but it's not something that would make me hate it. Life is a really valuable gift that you only get one of so why waste it downing yourself on something that could of been while you can be working hard for another goal that is coming your way to reach. Discovering something new everyday I see that life is full of ups and downs but at the end of the day life is still good.

Love will find a way

When I saw how many proverbs there was to chose from I couldn't help but see if there was any ones about love. I feel at this age it's one of the easier topics to talk/write about. In high school many people will go through multiple relationships through out the years and some make it all the way through and some break off for the better. I remember at a time in my life around last year when I was dating this guy for around 5 and half months and we had recently gotten to the point where you know the relationship is falling apart and you can't do anything to save it. I remember how heart broken I was because I didn't want to let go of the relationship because we were like best friends. My mom had saw how torn I had gotten over the period of time and sat me down and we began to have a long talk. She explained to me how he was just a stepping stone to the person who is waiting for me in the long run in the future and these things will happen in life. Not everything turns out the way we planned it and nothing lasts forever, I was only 14. As we were talking I explained my reasoning on how we should try to turn it around and I remember her saying if it's meant to be "Love will find a way" Gab. After she had said those words to me it really moved me and had me thinking on a while new outlook on it. Simple proverbs like the one that was said to me can really change the way you see and look at life situations you're in and could really help you out.
