COLLEGE CAREER

The college career thing was kind of fun, it talked about a lot of different careers and what to do after college.

TEAM VOCAB

The presidential debate was aggravating the American people. Donald Trumps supporters are hypnotized by the things he says. He also accused Hilary for being a liar and he would put her in jail if he becomes president. His ideas will transform America to chaos. I think Donald Trump should be suspended from from the debate for not acting professional. The future with trump will be melancholy for the citizens. Meanwhile others are anticipating Hillary Clinton plans will be good for the country.

LETTER TO MENTOR DRAFT 1

Dear mentor,
           I want you to help me with my big question. Why does the week start on Sunday and end on Saturday? When we think of Sunday, we think of the last day of the week not the first. And Saturday is like the first day of break from a hard week of school/work. I'm confused on this subject, please help in anyway possible.
