2. Essay on Never Giving Up
It has been said that life can never be carried out and truly lived to its fullest unless there has been
some sort of suffering and pain. Mistakes are to be learned from, and a hard past can only result in
a stronger present. Though many might find themselves alone in their misery the truth is they are
not, everyone has struggles. We all have our ups and downs, but it is how we react to them that
truly matters. Life is life and no matter what, giving up on lifelong dreams and aspirations because
of a few bumps in the road should never be an option.
"It isn't where you come from; it's where your going that counts," stated a very wise woman by the
name of Ella Fitzgerald. This may be hard to believe but even people with great success like...show

At an early age, Fantasia was a victim of rape and divorce. She pursued a music career in her small
town of North Carolina but found that she just did not stand out from among the other teens. With
low self–esteem, it was not long before Fantasia fell into the wrong crowd and found herself a
seventeen–year–old, pregnant, illiterate, high school drop out. Fantasia faced a lot of criticism
when she was considered for America's idol, but she did not let that bother her and continued on
to become an idol for those who like her have come from a hard background. Like Helen Keller once
said, "No Pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed to an unchartered land." Fantasia
Barrino has proven that "life is not a Fairy Tale" but you can sure make it one.
It is not just celebrities that can overcome a troubled past and live up to their potential it is also
people just like us. Who knows, the big shot lawyer next door could have been the one bullied in
school and told time and time again that he was not good enough. It is all about strength and
perseverance, believe despite the odds and what others say. To find success in the outside world
you must first find it in yourself. In Ella Fitzgerald's own words, "Just don't give up trying to do
what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go

3. Persuasive Essay On Tipping
Tipping your waiter almost feels like something that has just always been around in your dining
experience inside America. You go with family and friends to your favorite restaurant, your
waiter greets you, you order your meal, enjoy it, pay, and leave a tip. However, tipping is an
Europe custom we borrowed. Weirdly enough, tipping use to be viewed as rude and disrespectful,
much unlike today where it is viewed as disrespectful not to leave a tip. According to Michael
Lynn, a professor at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration, "tipping in the United
States began just after the American Civil War in the late 1800's." Lynn suggests that wealthy
Americans traveling abroad to Europe witnessed tipping and brought the aristocratic custom back
with them to "show off," or prove their elevated education and class. When you go dine in at your
favorite restaurant and finish your delicious meal, how much do you tip? 10%? 20%? Nothing at
all? Do you know how much to tip, or even why you should leave a tip? Tipping waiters is not a
bonus; it is part of their salary. When you tip, you are helping waiters to achieveminimum wage.
Consumers must pay for these costs one way or another. Tipping in America should be required.
With minimum wage for a waitress being only $2.13, tips are essentially the waitress's prime form
of payment. Author Patrick M. Sheridan stated in his CNN article "predominantly tipped
occupations are twice as likely as other workers to experience poverty, and servers are almost three
times as likely to live in poverty." Statistics from an article on Mother Jones says the overall
poverty rate stands at 6.3 percent. For restaurant workers, the rate is 16.7 percent. "Tipped workers
and their families often depend on welfare programs to survive – and they do so at significantly
higher rates than non–tipped workers, according to a 2014 report from the Economic Policy
Institute, a think tank focused on labor issues." When you fail to tip your waiters, you are
predominantly part of the cause of poverty. Stuart wrote in his article "Because of inflation, the
value of the tipped minimum wage has steadily fallen over the years." Leaving waiters bringing
home less and less in tips. If everyone quits
