President Obama gave a speech to school students about the importance of education and taking responsibility for their learning. He said that every student has something they are good at and it is their responsibility to discover their talents, whether it be through class projects or assignments. Obama emphasized that no matter what career a student chooses, they will need a good education to succeed. He acknowledged that learning is hard and students won't always succeed at first, but that some of history's most successful people had many failures. The speech concluded by encouraging students to reflect on their skills and talents and how to take responsibility for their learning.

The document discusses the importance of teaching children biblical principles through consistent devotion and holding them accountable, comparing this to public schools that do not challenge students or give assignments. It notes that preparing children for the "most vital final exam" through bible class is rational, in contrast to settling for public schools without such teachings. The document also references Deuteronomy 6 and breaking it into sections on injunction, implication, and competition regarding religious instruction for children.
Opinion - Writing Sample
1) Sir Ken Robinson argues that the current school system is stifling creativity by focusing too heavily on standardized testing in core subjects like math and English and de-emphasizing arts education.
2) The author agrees, noting that focusing so much on passing standardized tests discourages creative thinking and risks missing out on students' talents in other areas like dance, art, and music.
3) Robinson suggests schools should highlight different types of intelligence and talents in students rather than having a rigid hierarchy of subjects. Focusing more on how individual students learn best could help nurture their creativity rather than restricting imagination.

Creativity
Here are the key steps I would apply from this quote to my own situation:
1. Recognize that staying the same and not growing or changing is like remaining an egg - it will only lead to rotting or decay over time. Constant growth and evolution is needed.
2. Understand that major changes or transformations, like an egg turning into a bird, will be difficult but are necessary for progress. Staying comfortable in one's current form provides short-term ease but limits long-term potential.
3. Have the courage to step out of one's shell even if it means facing uncertainty or discomfort. Hatched eggs become birds and can fly; remaining eggs are limited in what they can experience and accomplish.

Waste Watchers WorksheetEvery day, every person in Georgia gen.docx
Waste Watchers Worksheet
Every day, every person in Georgia generates an average of 8 pounds of waste. This is all the stuff we throw away, recycle, or compost – like paper, plastic and glass bottles, soda cans, wrappers and other packaging, food scraps, etc. Think about it: 8 lbs a day – that’s nearly 3000 lbs a year! Sounds like a good time to start watching our waste and finding ways to cut back how much trash we create.
Out of sight, out of mind?
Once all that stuff is thrown away or recycled, it’s easy to not think about it anymore. But no matter where it came from, or where it eventually ends up, waste impacts our environment in a number of ways. The garbage truck that picks up our trash and takes it to the dump is most likely fueled by diesel or gasoline, which means it emits carbon dioxide, soot and other pollution as it travels on its way. After being dumped at the landfill, garbage decomposes and releases methane, a greenhouse gas 21 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Incinerating garbage also generates carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas 310 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Also consider what it took to manufacture that item in the first place – from harvesting, extracting, and processing raw materials, packaging and transporting the goods, etc. Making “stuff” can be a very energy-intensive activity.
Waste not, want not
So what can be done? Clearly not buying or using stuff is the easiest solution –but sometimes that’s not always possible. The next best practice is to reduce, reuse, and recycle items or products.
Reduce. Buying and using less when you can reduces the amount of stuff you acquire in the first place, which in turn reduces the waste you produce. Ways to reduce might include bringing your own shopping bag to the store, so you use one less paper or plastic bag. Printing on both sides of paper reduces how much paper you need to print the same document.
Reuse. Reusing items as often as you can also helps. Borrow books, CDs, or DVDs from the library – or a friend! – rather than buy new ones. Turn ripped jeans into shorts, buttons into jewelry, and old newspaper into wrapping paper. Or donate items such as clothes, books, furniture and household items, to local charities, so that others can re-use your stuff.
Recycle. A third option is recycling, and buying things that are made from recycled materials. Materials such as paper, plastic, aluminum and glass, for example, can be recycled into new products, which reduces the need to extract new raw materials, as well as the amount of energy needed to create brand new products. For example making an aluminum beer can from recycled material uses 95% less energy than making one from virgin materials. Decreased energy use translates into fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
Surprisingly, however, a lot of recyclable materials still find their way into the waste stream. Consider paper: paper can be recycled almost everywhere, yet paper accounts for more th.

The three little pigs and the big box store
The three little pigs renovated their home by buying everything they needed from the Get It Now store using the third pig's gold credit card. However, they soon regretted overspending when bills from the store started arriving and they could not pay them, causing the bank to foreclose on their home again. The story warns that one must manage money carefully and be content with what they have, rather than always wanting more stuff.

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.
