What I would like to change about school

Intro
     Hello, I am Arjun Agrawal and I am here to talk about what should be changed in school. I believe  school can improve food services in three ways:

Body
     First of all, the school should give healthier food options. Obesity rate in children are going up. As per national survey 1/3 of the children are obese. Some of these foods served in school cafeteria include, fries, burgers, burritos, etc. They are really high in calories, and fat. Instead school should add more healthy options such as salad and sandwiches.

     Next, the school should be more environmentally friendly. When you consume an animal you only get 2-3% of the energy from the plant,. The rest  is wasted. Eating food directly from the plant will reduce this wastage. Many children around the world are starving. The food we save could be used to feed them.

 
     Lastly, the school should be more sensitive to children with food allergies. As per national survey, 1 in every 13 children have food allergies. These children don't have any food choice.  Most Allergies are from nuts to gluten. I propose to have 1 out of 4 entries to be nut or gluten free.

Conclusion

     There is a saying: "Peace on earth starts with every plate." When we eat healthier foods, we will make peace with our body and mind. When we eat environmentally friendly, we will make peace with mother earth. Lastly, when we serve all, we will make peace with our heart!

Social Anxiety Essay

     My name is Arjun Agrawal. I am a 16 year old teenager in High School. I have received a lot of feedback stating that I have social anxiety and am scared to mingle with strangers. I will be taking three steps towards addressing this. I will play less video games, play more physical games with familiar people, and interact more with strangers.      Firstly, I vow to play less video games. Video games give instant gratification and happiness. This creates addiction. Addictions to video games consume a lot of time. It takes away time from interacting with other people or playing outside. Playing less video games will create much more space for social interaction.      When I am invited to play basketball with my friends, I don't join. This is because I am afraid that I will embarrass myself. Therefore, I dedicate some of my free time playing physical games with familiar people to build confidence. First, I will play basketball with my little brothers outside in my front yard.

TA-14

   John A. Fisher is a concerned parent. He believes that garden education is vital to the future of children.  His article, "Growing the Kinder-Garden" argues that schools should teach garden education. In order to convince his audience, Fisher instills a feeling of guilt, appeals to logos, and uses collective pronouns.      First of all, Fisher instills a feeling of guilt into his audience. He talks about how children in today's society barely know about gardening. He provides a strong point stating that, "if you have a young child, ask him or her where food comes from. Don't be surprised if the answer you get is 'From the store!'" This shows that most children don't know where food truly comes from. They are so isolated from the real world of farming, they think that food comes from the stores. In reality, all food comes from farms and gardens. Kids these days are becoming obese. They're eating manufactured foods instead of natural food

Positive Outlook Essay

     If a glass is filled halfway, is the glass half-full or half-empty? This is a commonly asked question to test a person's outlook. Although both choices are correct, each represents a different outlook. If they say it's half full then they are most likely a positive person. If they say it's half empty then they're most likely a negative person. Having a negative outlook on life can be pretty depressing. However, this is not permanent. It can be fixed. In order to have a positive attitude you must appreciate what you have. You can start out by cherishing nature, cherishing family, and cherishing knowledge.    The world is a beautiful place. You must learn to cherish it. Travelling and hiking are both great ways to appreciate nature. Mountainous landscapes formed by small rivers will amaze you. You don't have to go far to embrace nature. Every morning there is a beautiful sunrise right in your backyard. Chances are, if it in your backyard, it is everywhere. How
