Great job jack! I totally feel the part about not being yourself in the mornings but it seems like right when I get outside, I’m normal again. Writing this comment with COVID and not being aloud to do anything ,makes me real jealous of your bike ride down a mountain in Hawaii.

Wow Justin. The story as a whole seems a little dramatic but it was still really good. I loved the internal dialogue part that really made the story. The part about the water feeling like jello was a great analogy to. Great job

Your intro was very good Thomas. It drew me right in and gave an immediate example of what will happen if we follow through with this stupid idea. I wrote the same essay and I completely agree with what you said, you brought up some points I didn’t and did a great job with them too. Your use of quotes was great and backed up your text. Especially the first one.

This essay was super fun to read. It was definitely the most interesting because it was different. Everything that everyone else has done has been on earth, this was out of the world. Your use of examples and quotes is good and helped support your main thought. We should travel to outside planets although it may take a while.

Amir, This is a great and informative essay. It’s hard to say that I have any opinion on this as I barely know what taxes are. But the flat tax rate seems like the most equal way to pay taxes although unfair for the lower clases. Your use of quotes was very strong and helped convey your opinion.
Benefits
Benefits Why Should Income Tax be Lowered? Lower taxes will stimulate your own personal economy by leaving more money in your pocket to do what you want ~ Fred Pesce No one likes to pay taxes, yet they are required in order to live our everyday lives, so we can drive on roads, have police ...
Do, this is a very powerful essay. I agree with you that private schools should have more diversity. That way we can be put in positions to talk to people from different backgrounds and be able to connect with them on a higher level. Public schools should also have more funding to have more of the same opportunities that we do at Fenn. Great job!
Fairness
Is a Prep School Fair Life isn’t fair - John Kennedy In the world, there are hundreds of thousands of kids who have the opportunity to go to private schools, such as The Fenn School. There are also hundreds of thousands of kids who don’t. The main question in mind is, “Is it fair?”. Regar...
Your essay was very intersting for me. Before reading I knew nothing about drug problems and didn’t relize it was such a big deal. But now I Agree with you. Drugs should be legal andd the people that get addicted thats your problem. But this would help violence go down by a lot which is what we want. Great job Murdy!

Wow Justin. This was a very good essay the debunks every point that goes against this agument. I like how you included how hitting a baseball is the hardest, boxing is the toughest, and golf is the most mentaly hard thing to do but the combination of everything in hockey makes it the hardest. Although i migtht be a little biast I agree that it is the hardest sport.

Great job luke. I completly agree that coligate athletes should be paid. The point about Zion Williamson bringing so much money yet not getting paid for any of it just seems stupid in my mind. Although the athletes can make money off endorsments now which is a step in the right path. Your essay opened my eyes to a problem I barley ever thought of.
