Surprise Essay

     "I'm leaving," Rachel's and Max's mom said loud enough for them to hear. As she left, Rachel happened to look at the calendar. "It's Mother's Day today," Rachel told Max. "We should do something special for mom since we didn't wish her yet."

     "How about throwing a surprise Mother's Day party," Max suggested.

     "No, something that won't cost too much," Rachel answered. "Like baking a cake, yes, that will be something really special."

     "Perfect idea, lets get started right away," Max said eager to do it. They got the computer and searched up an accurate website. "This is going to be the best Mother's Day ever!" Max exclaimed.

     "Yeah, mom is going to love the fact that we baked a cake for her." They continued to work on baking the delicious cake. "We should hurry since there is only thirty minutes till mom comes home," Rachel said tensed.

    "We'll finish just in time, no worries," Max replied. Soon, everything was done except putting the cake in the oven. Finally, Rachel told Max to put the cake in the oven. A long time passed by until  there was a beep, the cake was done! "It's done," Rachel and Max said relived. Suddenly, they heard a car parking. They looked out the window and say their mom parking in the garage. "Go get the cake Max," Rachel said so enthusiastically. They heard the door open when Max dropped the cake. He was so excited and in a hurry that something that  never had been planned occurred. "I'm so sorry," Max said guilty and ashamed.

    "You didn't mean to, it's okay," Rachel replied worried. "This is the worst Mother's Day ever." As soon as their mom saw them and the kitchen, her face was filled with joy, thankfulness and happiness. "We are terribly sorry and we will never do this again," both Max and Rachel said sadly.

     "Thank you so much, I love you guys!" their mom exclaimed. This was something Max and Rachel weren't expecting to hear. "Let me just clean this up and then we can go buy a new cake," their mom said. Later, they came home with a chocolate cake that they all loved. It actually did turn out to be the best Mother's Day ever!

Quote Response

     Nothing in the world will ever be impossible, just keep on trying and one day it'll happen. According to Napoleon Bonaparte,"Impossible is a word only to be found in the dictionary of fools." Everybody thinks if they don't achieve their goal the first time, they will never reach their goal. This is why most people give up their first time trying. If we just wouldn't give up, maybe our goal would actually succeed. Only fools follow and believe in the word impossible.

     Most of the time, people give up in one try but this is not good, especially fools. As a kid, I have experienced this challenge. When I was learning how to ride my bike, I kept repeating the same words over and over, impossible. Now I know that at that time, I was a fool but now I'm wise since I know nothing is impossible. Just because I kept falling down and losing balance, I said it was impossible. My dad said nothing was impossible, so keep moving on and trying harder each time you fail. I listened to him and soon, I was perfect at riding my bike by myself. Then, I realized that the statement nothing is impossible is correct and true. If I would have just gave up and not listen to my father, I would have never learned how to ride a bike. The choice of giving up and agreeing that some things are impossible should not an acceptable option.

     Martin Luther King was one of our greatest leaders since he never gave up. Martin Luther King did anything he wanted to make everybody equal and everyone friends. He failed this goal many, many times but he still never gave up. He reached the point where he succeed his goal, otherwise, he never stopped dreaming.He had faith and trust in himself and he knew he would succeed. Finally, he got everyone to agree with him and the world became united, thanks to Martin Luther King. If it weren't for him, the world wouldn't be united as it is. If it weren't for Martin Luther King, we would be all having a horrible life. Only because he never followed the words impossible or ever give up.When following these steps, anything is possible.

     In the real world, we must all face challenges and its our job to complete the goal. To do this, everyone must pay attention to pros not cons. Dreams will never remain dreams because they can come into reality, if you try hard and not give up. It is evident that anything in the world, anything and everything is possible and will come real, the only work needed is to never give up.

Random Searches

     In most schools, there are students with weapons and drugs. According to Anthony Burgess, "To be left alone is the most precious thing one can ask of the modern world." Privacy is really significant to people. Also, there would be a distraction from learning while searches would take place. In addition, things can get misplaced in these searches. It would be in the best interests of students if this policy would not be approved.

     Privacy is very necessary and valuable. Almost half of the students in this school keeps their personal belongings in book bags and lockers. If these searches would take place, the people searching would see some personal belongings, belongings they shouldn't be seeing. Personal items can be anything and you never know when someone may look or read through it. Later, they might tell someone and soon, the privacy wouldn't remain any longer. However, opponents would say kids shouldn't bring personal and private belongings to school in the first place. This is wrong since some belongings are needed right after school. Privacy is one of the most needed things of all. 

     While students would be learning in class, the searches would continue. Those students who can see the searches going on would get easily distracted. They won't be able to focus and concentrate since their would be focusing outside, specifically on the searches. Most of the students would be looking at the people searching because they would want to see if anything suspicious or a weapon/drug would actually be found. Over 90% of students get distracted when something different occurs. These students would NOT get a proper day of learning if they wouldn't be focusing. Not focusing for the day may result into getting a bad grade for the day. Opponents would say just don't get distracted but this is an incorrect answer. Being distracted is something you can't stop, therefore, the distraction would stop when the searches would stop. Clearly, with random searches kids would get distracted which would lead to other bad stuff.

     When things get misplaced, it's a huge problem. While the searches are being held, one of a student's important belongings could be put in a different area than usual.  This way, when the subject comes in which you "lost" your book, you would freak. The book would be misplaced but according to you, it'd be lost. Depending on how mean the teacher is, she/he might even give you a 0 for the day because for being unprepared. Opponents would say carry all of the important belongings with you. This is a wrong statement. How can we carry all of our books and binders with us to every period? We'd have too much to carry. If something  gets misplaced, there would be many problems and consequences.

     The policy to allow random locker searches is wrong. No one would want to lose privacy, be distracted and have books misplaced. It is evident that having random searches would never be one of of the best choices to choose from.
