...states have some kind of restriction on renewing a driver’s license once you hit a certain age. For instance, some require an eye exam. Others make the person renew in person and not online. Illinois makes a person over the age of 75 take a road test. The states do not share their ideas on how to handle this issue. ` According to Debate.org, some argue that "Knowing the rules of the road and knowing how to drive safely without making stupid decisions is way more important than age". However, when getting older, often times your ability to make good decisions doesn't come as easily. Older people tend to get forgetful or can have bad judgment. Failing health issues can be the cause of this or not. Either...

...First, is getting good grades. If students don’t have good grades, or the responsibility to get them, they can be in a lot of trouble. The student could be held back, have to take a summer school, or work much harder to get her grades up. If a student is held back it could really affect him from not getting into the college of choice, or even a choice sport. Next, is a student needs to study hard. If a student doesn’t have the responsibility to study this it could easily affect something major such as a test or quiz score and get the person in a predicament. The consequences would be just as bad as not getting good grades and maybe even worse! Finally, is facing the consequences of a student’s action. When something does happen, such as not getting a good grade, or being held back, then a student should face it or something worse could happen. For example if you fail a test you could retake it and try to do better. This could fix your grade problem and help you in a major way. These are the reasons students need responsibility at school: to get good grades, study hard, and have them face the consequences of their actions. If students did these things they would get a better...

Finally, Simba decides to go back to his land and reconquer his kingdom. Though the fight, retake the king of his land, Simba grows up to a brave and responsible king. From this move, Simba is my favorite character. According this move, I also learned learning from good and bad leadership. Powerful metaphor of light and shadow illustrate the differences between ethical and unethical leadership. Those who cast shadows abuse power, manipulate information, and deceitful, and act incongruently. Behaviors and traits of leaders who cast light include humility, compassion, courage, optimism, and integrity. In this move, the light is Simba, he is very kind, smart, and brave. As a leader, Ethic is the heart of his leadership. His leadership that is effective, in his goals was achieved, and that follows a sound and ethical process. Also, Character development is an essential ingredient of ethical leadership. Simba’s character is defined by his actions and behaviors, not simply by the values that are espoused. Besides, He is nonjudgmental, flexible, listen attentively, showing respect and empathy. About Scar, he is totally shadow, bad leadership.

...Phung Nguyen English 112 D18 Professor William December 10, 2014 Education System in Vietnam versus in America “The United States system of education that has been created for students in Kindergarten through High School is the best educational system in the world. No exceptions. No disclaimers. No doubt. It is simply the best” (Pat Quinn). This means that in many other countries, especially developing countries, the education systems are still old, and Vietnam is one of those countries. Although Vietnam’s education system has improved, the limitations in cost, teaching methods and style of learning, and college admission examinations make Vietnam’s education system still backward. First, cost is the biggest difference between Vietnam and the U.S. In the United States, education from primary school to high school is totally free. They do not have to pay tuition because the government pays for them. They do not have to buy uniforms when going to school because schools allow them to wear casual clothes. They do not have to pay for transportation because they have free school buses picking up them every morning. Every child in the United States is given a free education equally no matter how their economic condition is. Pat Quinn writes: One of the factors that make the United States educational system head and shoulders above other countries is the free access all children have to an education. This access is not limited to those whose pay…This access is not limited to those...

...Recently I found myself in a situation where I had to make a decision that could affect me in a good way or bad way. About a month or so ago I found a job, with all of the economical problems going on right now I felt so blessed to have a job and knew I needed to take care of it because who knows when another opportunity would come around. This is the first time I had to separate time for school and for work. Luckily, I’m on call and the job is part time. However, this did not make things easier on the day of my math final. I knew it was coming and I needed all of the time I could have to take it and try my best to get a good passing grade. That night I got out of work a bit later than I had expected which already put me in a rushed mood because the final was all I thought about that day, and being able to pass it. In the afternoon before I left to work I knew I had to make a choice, go to work and come home quick to do the best that I can on my test or don’t go to work miss a good day of work and take my final. It was somewhat of a difficult decision but I thought why not go to work and take my final after? Unfortunately, things don’t always work out as planned, as a result my final had a non-passing grade and I have to retake the math class. I know now I need to organize myself much better and cover all bases before making that sort of decision that has affected me in many...

...SAT Good or Bad for College Aptitude? During our lifetime from starting off at preschool to kindergarten to years later on finally making your way to high school and even going off to college to find the right career path that you choose. But many start to feel as if what is the point of the SAT, like sure it helps show your ability to figure out problems and makes it even easier to go to college. But in my opinion i find that making high schools students take the SAT’s is pointless only because it takes time and a lot of frustrating studying, another reason that students shouldn't take the SAT because it makes it very hard to get a high score on it and lowers the self esteem of the students and makes them question their intelligence....

...GS1145 Ms. Ramsey April 28, 2015 Janae Boyce After reading the scenario about the student Jason, I’ve come up with his problem being he doesn’t like to complete his work labs in class. Jason blames the teacher for his bad grades because of his lack of skills. He assumes he can finish all the labs he doesn’t do in class at home but being a Friday night it is always things to do and plans that get made and before you realize it class is the next day. He is also a big procrastinator on his work causing him to fall behind when he could just stay after class and finish his lab like his other classmates. Some solution he could do would be to require out what it is that side tracks him from doing the labs, having sit down with the instructor to see what he is able to do about passing, he can also work with some of his classmates to get his lab done quicker. Another option would be able to come to class early and finish some work. Somethings he can do to make it easier for him would be to arrive on time and stay the full class. If Jason behaviors continues its possible he can fail the class and also lose his reputation in his instructors eyes as a student who does his work and is dedicated to trying to succeed in his class. Couple other negative effects are that leaving class earlier your missing out on lectures possibly and your attendance suffers. This will also affect you when it comes to getting a job if he actually completes college. If he was to get a job and did the same...

...If you are not good at problem solving you will have troubles with your assignments like quizzes, homework, test, essays, projects and other assignments. If you do not have problem solving skills you are not going to be able to be good at math because the whole class is about solving problems. If you are not good at math you can fail math. If you fail math than you have to retake it. Critical thinking is also important because you need it to figure out how to do an assignment. If you write something in English class you need to think about what you’re writing. Also thinking critically will help you when you have problems at work.

...Are Too Many People Going to College by Charles Murray Whether people are going to college or not has been and still is a big decision to this day. College brings along time and financial commitments that you have to have. Charles Murray said “Their object is not to make skillful lawyers, or physicians, or engineers, but capable and cultivated human beings.”(Murray 222) He wants to know if there are too many people going to college just because they can afford it or do they actually want to become a more educated human being. Education has always been an important factor in life. Core knowledge, which is students learning about Apollo 11, Susan B.Anthony, Martin Luther King, Jr,Freedom Riders, and the Pilgrims, should start in kindergarten and go all the way through high school. It’s important for them to know that our country has come a long way and what we have been through has made us the Americans we are today. High school has also made a decision to go a little further with their core knowledge. They decided not to let their students expand their knowledge by having AP classes (college level classes) that they can take if they would like. Once the high school student transitions into a college freshman, they should be well prepared. Prepared to succeed in college not only because they can afford it, but they want to better their education to get a good paying career. If someone doesn’t need to go to college for their career, then they shouldn’t go. That would be a waste...

...Nicolo Machiavelli Niccolo di Bernardo dei Machiavelli was born on May 3, 1469, in Florence, Italy.He eventually became a man who lived his life for politics and patriotism. He wrote a pamphlet called The Prince to gain influence with the ruling Medici family in Florence. The political genius of Niccolo Machiavelli was overshadowed by the reputation that was unfairly given to him because of a misunderstanding of his views on politics (Niccolli Machiavelli 1). Machiavelli's life was very interesting. He lived a nondescript childhood in Florence, and his main political experience in his youth was watching Savanarola from afar. Soon after Savanarola was executed, Machiavelli entered the Florentine government as a secretary. His position quickly rose, however, and was soon engaging in diplomatic missions (Nicolo Machiavelli 1). He met many of the important politicians of the day, such as the Pope and the King of France, but none had more impact on him than a prince of the Papal States, Cesare Borgia. Borgia was a cunning, cruel man, very much like the one portrayed in The Prince. Machiavelli did not truly like Borgia's policies, but he thought that with a ruler like Borgia the Florentines could unite Italy, which was Machiavelli's goal throughout his life. Unfortunately for Machiavelli, he was dismissed from office when the Medici came to rule Florence and the Republic was overthrown (Niccolli Machiavelli 1). The lack of a job forced him to switch to writing about politics instead...

...When I was in my primary school days, I was the top few students in my class, sometimes in the whole cohort. My classmates were envious of my results, but it didn’t last long. As I grow older, I got exposed to things like computer gaming and console gaming. I started spending more and more time on gaming then studying and lead to the plunge in my results. Had a borderline result for my PSLE result. Went to secondary school, was still addicted to gaming. But at that time, I was enthusiastic about my CCA back then, Badminton. I could say that I spend more time on the Badminton court than anywhere else. We had training thrice a week, and even sparring sessions on Saturdays. My normal weekday routine would be to go for lessons, training, back home and gaming. So I wasn’t really spending my time wisely for the gaming part. Which I seriously neglected my studies then. My results were borderline throughout my whole secondary education period, still manage to get a Polytechnic to pursue my diploma. Enrolled into Nanyang Polytechnic, taking Electronics, Computer & Communication course. The name make it seems complicated, but that’s the thing that lead me to choose this course. Made a group of close friends within the first week of school. During test and exam periods, we will get together and do some revision to help with each other and clear our doubts. We all did quite well for the first test. Then comes the Semester Exam, where I made a stupid mistake. I was working as a promoter...

...For my occupation, I want to become a doctor or a famous soccer player. I want to be on the USA women’s soccer team because I really enjoy the sport and I would like to carry soccer into my actual career. If soccer does not work out for me, one type of doctor I would be interested in becoming is a pediatrician. I am interested in this profession because it involves helping sickly children and I would love to have the opportunity help kids in need. One goal I need to carry out as an individual is to never give up on myself. Another goal is to pass all of my classes in college, so I do not have to retake any of them. My last goal is to finish college, so I can make these dreams come...

...debt while they are enrolled so they are unable to pay it off . Thus, they never benefit from better job prospects that comes with a degree. Usually parents are considerable supporters of finance but parents also struggle with finance (unemployed) so they are unable to support their children. Therefore,“Some students do not have the financial support from their parents to pay for college and try to use loans to cover their tuition Students sometimes get overwhelmed in debt and dropout before getting buried in it. Students also take out part time jobs or engage in work-study” ( Weissmann). Also, another reason why students dropout is Because students take too many classes and when they fail their class, they have to retake them. In addition, they must pay more to retake them so their bills and loans pile up; putting them in colossal debt. Along with that, most college students already incurred a significant amount of debt so they are unable to pay it off. Thus, they never benefit from better job prospects that comes with a degree. “According to a report published by the Organization for Educational Cooperation and Development, More than 70 percent of Americans matriculate at a four-year college — But less than two-thirds end up graduating. Including community colleges, the graduation rate drops to 53 percent”(Porter). For this statistics, it can be understand that students rate of graduation is decreasing and the rate of students dropping out of college is...
