I have an opinion; an opinion that could mean something to you. In my opinion, I think Donald Trump should not build a wall. This may sound bizarre that a kid in 4th grade would say something like this, but this is a meaningful opinion. This is a meaningful opinion because Donald Trump is building a wall and it is going against all the things that Thomas Jefferson the #3rd president and one of our founding fathers wrote and the colonists fought for in the American Revolution. Here is an important sentence from the Declaration of Independence: WE hold these Truths to be self evident that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness-- The translation to this sentence is that we hold the truth that all the people are equal and that they should able to have the same rights. These rights require that everyone should consider and have the right to live life in equality and justice, and most importantly that they should be able to live a happy life, meaning they could pick their own job that they would like to have. This was important because in some countries the government says “ Oh you have to be this, and you have to be that.” This relates to our government today because our president wants to build a wall like the Germans divided families in Berlin. But the type of wall that Donald Trump says he will build is different. The wall he wants to build is to stop immigrants from coming to America. This nation does not deserve to be Americans and Americans only. This is why our wonderful nation is called “ The United States of America.” To show you evidence, I shall give you an example: let's say you had a relative in Bosnia for me, or wherever you may come from (even if you don't have a relative in a different country pretend your favorite or close relative did). If Mr. Trump did do as he says then that relative would not be able to move here! What I don’t understand is why would our president want to enclose and bring our free nation to a stop? Think about this as you (if you) watch the news with your parents. If you do watch the news you should still think about it. If you agree with Trump, why? Camping! Camping is really fun when you go with Friends and Family! You can do a lot of things when you go camping! There are also different camp sites that you can go to! And there are a lot of things that you can do while you are camping.

As long if you are having fun that is a good thing while you camp! So you asked your parents if you can go camping, right. But they ask you which campsite you want to go to, and you don’t know about a clue of which campsite you want to go to! Well… I can also tell you about a lot of different places you can go to during camping! There are a lot of FUN campsites. These are a few campsites- Blue rocks, Fox woods, AB, Yogi Bear.

Everyone knows the rhyme “Mary Had A Little Lamb,” right? In the rhyme Mary had a lamb that follows her everywhere the lamb follows her to school. At school the lamb distracts everyone from learning. I think that students should not be allowed to bring their pets to school. Why? I think that because pets would distract the students from learning, eat up important papers. If certain animals are in the same room they can attack and some people are allergic to certain animals. One reason that students should not be allowed to bring pets to school because animals will distract students from learning. School is for learning, right? What’s the point school if we can’t learn? Teachers will have hard time teaching if students are constantly playing around with their pets. My second reason that students should not be allowed to bring their pets to school is that pets can eat up important papers. Dogs can eat up textbooks or notebooks. The school won’t be able to afford buying all those books for all the students every time the students complain,”The dog ate my textbook.” My third reason that students should not be allowed to bring their pets to school is if certain animals are in the same room they can attack. For example cats can attack birds, fish and mice. This would result to a loss of a pet and no one wants that. The victim might be seriously injured or even dead. The owner would be very depressed to the death of his/her pet. My fourth reason that students should not be able to bring their pets to school is that some people are allergic to certain pets. Now you might be thinking that they could just go to the doctor and get a allergie shot but some people don’t have time to go to the doctor to get a shot. In conclusion students should not be able to bring their pets because pets would distract the students from learning, eat up important papers, if certain animals are in the same room they can attack and some people are allergic to certain animals, but schools could set aside a day where students can bring their pets to school and teach their peers about that animal. Pets are great for home but they aren’t great for school.. Which is Smarter Cats Or Dogs Lots of people think that dogs are smarter than cat or cats are smarter than dogs. Some people assume that dogs are smarter than cats because their brains are larger. But brain size does not predict intelligence like for example men's brains are bigger than women's but it does not mean their smarter. But having a tiny brains does matter like a tiny bird named Alex who has spoken a vocabulary of more than a hundred words even though studies show that among 4 legged animals brain does not seem to make a difference. A fact is that dogs brains are actually continually growing and expanding were cats brains remained unchanged since 8,000 years ago. Dogs are more social than cats and that's true, but people say that dogs are more social because their brains are bigger and if you call a dog they will come but if you call a cat it will take a message and get back to you. Cats- Cats might not be as social as dogs but are pretty clever cats do different things and but even sometimes they're a little crazy. You might not believe it but cats are pretty good companions and extremely loveable. Dogs- even love dogs there cute lovable and playful what's not to love. But sometimes the can even be a pain because you have to walk them outside in every weather condition and have to pick up their business. Chocolate milk must stay in school! “In 58 schools that removed or limited flavored milk options, milk consumption dropped a dramatic 35%, on average,” says reliable source, Chocolate: A Tasty Nutrition. For those of you who say no to chocolate milk because of its sugar and calorie value, think about this: chocolate milk has the same nutritional value as plain, white milk. Milk, in general, has many high health benefits, and if we can’t get children to have these benefits with plain milk, then let’s get children to have these benefits with good old chocolate milk. Overall, you need milk. Milk has the same nutritional value as 1/2 cup of diced cantaloupe, 3 1/2 ounces of apple with skin and 1/2 cup of cooked baked beans. That sounds healthier, but the truth? That is 171 calories more than just drinking chocolate milk. Milk has many important things many children are missing out on. Answer this -is it better to have important nutrients with a bit of added sugar, or is it better to have no nutrients at all? The answer is obvious. So why not choose chocolate milk? Chocolate milk makes you gain weight, right? Or does it? The American Heart Association says, “when sugars are added to otherwise nutrient-rich foods, such as sugar-sweetened dairy products like flavored milk and yogurt…the quality of children’s and adolescents’ diets improves, and in the case of flavored milk, no adverse effects on weight status were found.” Most nutritional experts say that the sugar vs. the milk in chocolate milk is a fair trade, so most likely, you won’t gain all that weight you think you will. Oh, but chocolate milk has so much sugar, you say. Well, not necessarily. Chocolate milk only makes up less than 2% in most American teenagers diets. What you really need to look out for is juice and sodas, which make up more than 50% of American teenagers diets. So, does chocolate milk really have the calories some people say? Probably not. Chocolate milk is on our side, and we have to see that. Chocolate milk is a good thing for us. What else can we resort to? Chocolate milk is a healthy, nutrient high beverage, and that’s the plain truth. Yes, kitties play around and are really cute but some things about dogs I like more than of a cats. Yes, a kitty is less work, but dogs teach you more responsibility, they are more social, and they can help you exercise and is an overall great companion. One of the reasons why I think dogs are better than cats is because they teach you more responsibility. Of course taking care of a cat is easier than a dog but with a dog you really get more out of taking care of a dog than a cat. When you come home from school you will probably want to play with your dog (nobody can resist the cute puppy eyes) so that means you will want to finish your homework. With dogs you get to play catch, take them on a walk, sleep with them, and you just have more fun. With a cat you wait for it to finish waking up from it’s nap which takes an hour, then you watch it walk around the house playing with it’s toys. You get taught more responsibility and have more fun with a dog than a cat. Another reason why I like dogs more than cats is that they are more social. Dogs like to be around people, they socialize with other dogs, they are man’s best friend. When you see a dog walking around at a dog park they don’t just stand there, they meet new dogs, play around and that also lets the owners of the dogs meet and normally they become friends. The dog is making friends of it’s own. But for a cat if it met another cat it would just not pay attention or fight. And with a dog it will give you a really long lick. The Last reason why I think that dogs are better than cats is because they help you exercise. In the morning everybody takes their dog out for a walk. It gets your dog and your body moving so you are exercising while having fun with your dog. Instead of going to the gym and leaving your dog alone it can run around with you to get your body and the dog’s body moving to get the day started. The dog is helping you exercise because once you see the smile on the dogs face it motivates you to keep on running. To recapitulate (a fancy way to say conclude), I think that dogs are better than cats. Dogs are more social, they teach you responsibility, and they help you exercise. The next time you beg your parents for a dog, make sure to include these reasons. Dogs are man’s best friend for a reason. We live on a beautiful planet. Most of us, take it for granted. Now I will join the team that spreads awareness to mankind through my writing. Please listen and learn a lesson! Everyone knows their space facts, right? Good. So all of you know that Earth is the only planet in our Solar System that can support life. So what happens if we pollute it? Well, the animals will start dying. Even the ones that help us live our everyday lives. Most pollinators are decreasing by the hundreds because human pollution. No pollinators means no vegetables, no fruit, and no flowers. What else happens? Earth was once a beautiful planet. Now it’s more like a piece of trash. Take NYC for example. There are sooooooooo many places where you have to hold your nose to keep from inhaling a revolting odor. That’s pollution. Now, think about how gross life would be if the whole WORLD smelled like that. P.U.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are things we can do to stop pollution. Like not littering on the beach, or anywhere for that matter. You can also reuse plastic cups and water bottles. These small things are what make the big difference. It’s not safe anymore. The protective layer that shields us from the Sun is fading. Animals that give us food are dying. We are in real danger. This is the generation to act. This is our home, this is our future.
