Argumentative Essay

Sexual abuse, alcohol law violation, robbery, drug related crimes; these are common crimes committed by our children. Nowadays, we can easily witness information about juvenile crimes on newspapers or television broadcasts. it is becoming extremely serious, since students do not realize the seriousness of this issue and do not recognize that fixing the problem is essential. So,to show teenagers that it is terrible to execute such wrongdoings, there is only one solution: lowering the age restriction by law from age 18 to age 14.
First, since the age constraint protects them, students commit illegal acts without the fear of receiving harsh punishments. For example, one of my roommates who is sharing room 705 with me told me that in her school, it is common to see students smoking and drinking alcohol. I assume that this situation was possible since young girls and bots are surely protected by the age constraint for imprisonment. Also, according to lawyershop.com, some crimes do not even get reported if people are not arrested. http://www.lawyershop.com/practice-areas/criminal-law/juvenile-law/crimes
This reduces the pressure of law to minimum. These days, the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act targets juvenile crimes by assisting state and local governments in providing preventative services to high-risk youths. Juvenile courts have special rules and procedures that are unique to the juvenile law system. A majority of youth cases are resolved informally and without a trial. This is undermining the fear of imprisonment.
Second, the acceptance of age restriction is reducing the fear of the law. To be specific, the punishment of juvenile offenders also differs significantly from the punishment of adult criminals. Because the youth justice system seeks to rehabilitate youth delinquents, adolescence courts may impose a variety of flexible sentences. Punishments include placement in a rehabilitation program, payment of restitution to victims, imposition of court-determined curfews, mandatory school attendance, or placement in an adolescence detention facility. The law should be conversed to allow students about fourteen to be sentenced to go to prison.
Of course, some may say that teenagers are open to making mistakes, so it is so harsh to devastate their dreams and future. Nevertheless, before I explain, let me state a point. According to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), three major categories of youth crimes are violent crimes, crimes against property, and drug-related crimes. Fortunately, crimes against property and drug related crimes have reduced greatly during recent years. Obviously violent crimes are the most common one. Then, do you think these students will be capable of realizing what is wrong before the government shows them? It is crucial to encourage students for a brighter future for them, but we need to point what's right and wrong as well.
For these reasons, I strongly claim that we need to lower age limit from 18 to 14. First, teenagers are not fearing illegal deeds. Second, we can create a better image for law. For our children and an enlightened future, we need to realize that lowering age constraint is essential.

Drabble:Concert of One Direction

Wow! Green and yellow stagelight shines on Harry's forehead. A beautiful melody flows and fills the stage. The fans roar in delight. Liam presents a smile, and they start singling, "You're insecure. Don't know what for. You're turning heads when you walk through the door..." I shout like I'm crazy. Girls in their teens are waving colorful banners. As the song drives to its highlight, the roar grows. When it strikes the peak, "Baby you light up my world like nobody else" a bellow hits the ceiling. They're all One Direction-holics now. When the song finally finishes, sweat pours Yay!

Compare Contrast Essay after Watching "Brave"

In the movie "Brave", Merida was forced to marry. However, since Merida did not want to engage with a person she did not really love, she tried to change her fate. She asked for helps to a witch to produce a potion to converse her mother's attitude towards her fate. Unfortunately, the potion just transferred her mother into a monster-like, ferocious bear. Regretting her deeds profoundly, Merida searched for a solution to help her mother return to her status. Eventually, Merida discovered the solution:mending the tapestry she had devastated before. With great focus, Merida repaired the tapestry, and her mother's phase changed to her original self. After watching the movie, I realized the difference between Merida and me.

First, Merida has the courage to innovate her fate. When her parents told her to marry one of the three candidates, she knew that life will become miserable if she engaged to a person she did not love. Also, she recognized that the tradition was not the best way to keep the region Merida was living peaceful, so she rejected. At this point, I was so thrilled because I often just do something because my friends or teachers tell me to do so without regarding the consequences at all. Further on, there are even some issues I do not give my though even though I realize that it is crucial for me to care and seriously consider. So, I really envy and want to mimic Merida's courage and confidence towards her own life.

Second, Merida easily admits that she did a wrongdoing if she truly indicates her mistake. To be specific, she asked for forgiveness to her mother when she found out that it was wrong and selfish to to think that her mother was not there when she was needed. For me, it is really difficult to just state that I committed a big mistake. For instance, when I fought with my friend because I had teased her, I did not consider others' feelings and just quarreled that it was just a  joke. Nonetheless, while I was watching Merida's voyage, it was sure that it was I who had committed a wrong deed. Merida shows more maturity than I do.
However, even though Merida has her independence and maturity, I think she does not have patience. She should have waited a little bit before her visit to the witch. If she explained the reason slowly to her mother, the queen could have been able to understand her. As for me, I tell my mother the reason critically and sometimes she agrees to me and sometimes I agree to her and alter my thoughts. So, I think I have more forbearance compared to Merida.

In conclusion, I desire to resemble Merida's bravery and maturity, but I feel pride that I have a bit more of patience than Merida. Still, except forbearance, Merida teaches me a grand lesson of consistence.

Ode on desk lamp

Dear desk lamp,

When was the first time I met you? Every morning at 6:30 am, you enlighten my world and took me to your rays. You were always there when I needed you. When I was so tired and out of energy you encouraged me to start moving. When I saw you I was able to become active and start an activating day.

How kind of you to resist when I pressed you hard! You were not complaining nor nagging to me. You remained patient and helped me to do homework and my studies. Also, you helped me to keep my eyesight. My eyesight is very bad, and if you weren't there I would have gotten a worse eye sight.

You're my longest friend. Except my parents, I think you were there beside me since I was very young. When I was five and I used to put Christmas ornaments on you because I loved decorating. You might have felt disturbed, annoyed, and uncomfortable. Nevertheless, you never frowned towards me.

Helping me getover some situations, you always fulfilled me with delight. When I fought with my friend, Julie in third grade, you looked bright and made me feel better. You glanced at me with a wide grin on your face, and stayed with me like you knew everything. I'd like to resemble your patience, openness, and brightness.

Thnk you for always cheering me up.

Sincerely,
Seo young Kim

Setting Goals

During my time in GLPS, I have chosen three goals I would want to achieve.

First, I will walk up and down with the stairs. Since when I was in Seoul, I always used the elevator, so I hope to use the staircase when I am spending one month in GLPS. There will be lots of benefits when I use the staircase, because it will make me feel somewhat healthy, since I walk. To achieve this goal, it will be important for my friends to know that I always will walk up and down the staircase and understand me. I will tell my roommates that if I disappear suddenly they will need to think that I am in the staircase.

Secondly, I would try not to idle during the camp. I easily idle, so I often kill time. To reduce the time I am wasting, I will create my own schedule and try to move according to the schedule. This will help me live in a more consecutive life pattern, and I will be using time in a more valuable time. Since, I have only one month to stay in this camp, it will be more crucial to me to use the one month in this camp in a more useful and helpful way for me. My friends might help me, for example, they can tell me when they seem that I am idling and not using my time wisely. In this case, it will be easier for me to eliminate my bad habit and raise a better habit which is writing a daily schedule.
  <- This is idling!!!
Lastly, I will stop rolling my eyes. Since I wear contact lenses, I often roll my eyes. Nevertheless, both my friends and I do not like this habit, because this looks like I feel annoyed and they might feel little bit uncomfortable. To fix this habit, it is extremely significant for my friends to inform me whether I am rolling my eyes or not. Also, it will be helpful if I put eyewash more often in my eyes. If they tell me that I am rolling my eyes when I do, I will know when I usually rolll my eyes. Also, I can write in my diary or schedule my progress of me rolling my eyes.

These are the things I will hope to achieve and it will help if my friends consider helping me.
