Teenage Fears

teenage fears
Not getting enough credits in school
repeating the course
Not graduating and possibly droping out
becoming a father
Getting put on Child support
Taking a DNA test and fing out it isnt yours
Worrying about if other people like you
Creating a reputation that isnt you
Trading popularity for education
violence
Feeding into the he say she say
Thinking you have something to prove to everyone.
your pride is your own worst enemy

Reflection On My Geometry Project (Hypatia)

The geometry project that was assigned to me by Mr. Carpenter was to research a famous Mathematician that contributed to the study of mathematics and how it impacts today's society. I chose Hypatia of Alexandra, Egypt. She was born 370 AD and Died 415 AD. Hypatia was the first woman to make a substantial contribution to the development of mathematics.In that Era Women knew that their duties were in the house but she dared to be different.She was so smart the Christian males that were in charge of the country were intimidated by her intellect. She was killed by a fanatical Christian mob who felt that their authority was being challenged by her.

School Religion

Should student be allowed to practice religion in school?
I do not think that religion should be practiced in pubic schools because most students have different views on how they define god, and not every student worships the same god. It is a controversial issue that has been talked about for decades but cannot be taught in public schools because of the fact that there is also another theory that explains the creation of humans, which is the theory of evolution we evolved from Neanderthals
