A Students Life Episode 1: The Impacts of Scholarships Towards Low Income Students



Hello, my name is Lissette. I´m a sophomore in Ms. Millman´s Accelerated English 2 class. 
As a high school student, I would think that most of us who attend high school come because of two reasons, reason 1, our parents make us come to school every day and reason 2, would be because we want a bright future for ourselves.
 I want to go to college and I know most of us who are in high school also want to do the same, with that being said, I think that we can all agree college is expensive. More than 50% of students in the U.S. want to go to college, but many cannot afford college funds without the help of scholarships due to the fact that their families are low income. Scholarships are what most high school students work for in getting, they impact us as students in so many ways and motivate us to get good grades. In my podcast today I will be talking about some of the impacts scholarships execute towards low-income students.

Isaac's Podcast- School Causes Stress on Teens (Ep.1)

Image
School causes stress on teens Podcast Pitch And welcome back to Isaac's podcast, so stress and school. Man those two things match so perfectly. Stress brings such worry, such anxiety. Many kids struggle and try to cope with it but they always seem to fail because they always aim for perfection yet don't succeed at that. They struggle their whole life because they were so focussed on getting that A in high school. They were so focussed on getting the work done, instead on focusing on what life really matters. The school system it just, things are due, there are due dates in school and kids try to meet those standards but they have sports, they have families, they want to have fun, they don't want to spend their young years worrying, but they end up worrying, and stressing, and thats the sad truth. ⇩Link Below⇩ https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Q9CfDFBpJ8pcEEAu9FKOS_kCLiuYhyB5  Sources cited:  http://web.b.ebscohos...

WHAT THE TRUMP?! The Teenage Thoughts on the Donald Trump Presidency

Image
Teenagers and Trump The most controversial man in America happens to be our president.  Donald J. Trump, the United States' 45th president, split America into  two halves. While many people (about half the United States) agreed  with him and his proposed political agenda, he still managed to draw lots of  controversies.   Is Donald Trump doing anything wrong? Are the American people being over-dramatic towards his presidency? Maybe it isn’t that Trump is doing a bad job, but that the American people are still caught up in that he managed to beat Hillary? Rather than having adults answer these questions, maybe it’s time that kids share their opinions because the only opinions we ever get are old stinky adult ones. Find out in this episode of Arekcast, with your host Arek Gadomski, as we gather information from teenage High-school students on our president and discuss controversial topics regarding him.
