About Me: 

Hi, I am Kevin Alba and I am 15 years old. I am part of Mrs Millman's Accelerated English 2A class of 2018-19 here at Fenton High School. I am here not just to entertain, but to inform. I like wrestling and procrastinating. I don't usually procrastinate, but when I do, it's on big projects, like these. 



Since the year 2000, the number of illegal immigrants to the United States is increasing by approximately 1,000,000 per year. Obviously, most are going to want to work and make money here, but not all have the opportunity to do so. 




            There are a series of requirements that have to be done in order to be employed here legally. My interviewee (My older brother) and I will be conversing about the process and what he had to go through to work here. If you are interested, take a listen at the link down below

    What's up, Kevin. Honestly, I only listened to a little part of it but I really like the subject that you tried to tackle here. I strongly have that as one of my beliefs that no one should be discriminated for any sort of reason at all and this podcast is a complete representation of this thought. Immigrants should 100 percent have unparalleled freedom to come here, work where they want, and have a normal life here in the U.S. You conveyed this directly and indirectly in some ways and this is only one great aspect in your overall remarkable podcast. I was happy to listen to it even though it was just the beginning part.

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...

Teen Pregnancy in The United States (to get to Podcast, click the title!)  Over the past twenty years, teen pregnancy and birth rates in the United States have decreased drastically. The rates have gone down by nearly thirty-seven percent. Though this may seem like a huge stride, there is a bigger issue. In comparison to other highly developed countries, America has teen pregnancy rates that are as much as nine times higher than others. Many may ask how this unfortunate reality has become prevalent throughout the United States. This podcast will cover the underlying causes of teen pregnancy, as well as offer a critical perspective of the justice system, and the practices American society deems normal.

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.
