Why should I learn a foreign language?

                  "Why don't they just learn English." I have heard many people ask this before. Do people in the United States expect everyone to learn English? I believe that they should try to learn their language instead of expecting others to learn theirs. Americans are known as risk takers, so why not take the small risk of learning a different language. Learning a different language brings a lot of benefits.


                  Our president Barack Obama does not speak a language other than English. He said,

Test Me or It

Animal testing has been used for years.  It has been used to help scientists understand the way some medicines work on animals, but what does that have to do with humans?  I’m sympathetic with the fact that it has helped scientists; however, it is an unreliable way to get information because the animal is not human.

Who doesn't agree on the Dream Act?

 

        Everyone should agree with the Dream Act. For those who haven’t heard of the Dream Act, it is a law granting undocumented students access to public and private funding for college. I think everyone should have the chance to study and try to get a good career and go to college. Just because you are undocumented doesn’t mean you cannot become someone important in this world. Going to college is a dream for a lot of people and everyone is equal in this world.

Polution On our Earth

How does pollution affect the world? Don’t people see the damages that it causes?  There are different types of pollution - with the major ones being air pollution, water pollution and land pollution. In the following paragraphs I will talk more about things you can do to minimize pollution in the world.

Music

 Music is something that someone can turn to in a time of need. It's a sound that doesn't leave the mind and vocals that you reminisce. You can listen to it when your feeling down or up. Music is a mood changer. Music is something that you could listen to when you have mixed emotions and could bring back old memories. When you listen to music it can sometimes be a eye opener.

Why can't I?

Have you ever wanted to donate blood but you are told once you get there that you cannot donate because you are sick?  Well I have had that experience.  It has always been a dream of mine to give blood and be able to save someone’s live because I made the unselfish choice to give blood.

why is immigration good for the economy?

           Illegal immigration is good for the economy and the United States. These are the reason why. If illegal immigrants don’t work in the field then who is going to work there? Nobody but immigrants the united states have grown lots of crops because of illegal immigrants they had mad the economy better for the United States. Without the immigrants, we would have a decline in labor force of 3 to 4 percent.

Is it really fair..

                If you’re a student at Corning High you know how big sports are, and how much pride we take in them. Walking through the halls you can point out who the athletes are and most likely what sports they play. As a member of Field Hockey, Soccer and, Softball I love the feeling of being an athlete and being recognized as one.

why do we go to school if we have to do school work at home as well?

We go to school to do school work. We should not have to take our school work home after school to do more work on our free time. The average student spends over half their day in school. And 5 days a week and 180 days a year. We spend our entire childhood in school and teachers feel the need to take up more of our time send school work home for homework. This seems ridiculous to me what the heck is the point of going in the first place if we r going to do work at home too.
 

Football vs ALL the Other Sports !

     Corning Union High School, this school is all about pride & tradition. When football season comes around our school is flooded with spirit. We have to plan spirit week, rallies &, homecoming. Football is the heart of this school & of this town. But what about the other sports like Field Hockey, Volleyball, Tennis &, Cross Country they don't get as much publicity as football. Shouldn't the publicity & the funds all be the equal to the football program.

Funk High Boxing

                        As I sit here I wana fight the guy next to me. Just for the mess of it no hatred just a friendly fight. If there was a boxing ring at school and they would let us fight for 5 bucks, then we would handle bussness there. Plus the schools making money and no ones getting hurt.

STOP Animal Cruelty

 

Are you aware of animal abuse? Do you think animals deserve to be hurt for no reason? I don’t understand how people can even have the thought of hurting an animal let alone actually go through with it and torture or abuse the poor creature.

Volvo4life

Recently I was in a car accident. Its hard to think about it, hard to talk about, I'm just thankful to still be here. By the looks of my car the odds of the situation could of been so much worse. I swerved to miss a cat and lost control of the car, going about 45 mph into a ditch which made me air born and hit two trees to put me at a complete stop. Im lucky to have been driving a car known to be one of the most safest cars, a Volvo. My Volvo saved me!

Act of Valor

         Act of Valor is a movie that truly describes what valor means and how to be valiant. This movie touched me and spoke to me like no movie ever had before. What a single man would do for his country, for his friends, his family to be safe along with the rest of America, and for his "brothers" he spent so long training with.

Small Town Girls with Big Dreams

My friends and I have this dream, this extravagant dream of meeting and dancing with Ellen. As time goes by, I watch more and more of Ellen and all I can think about is meeting her. Being on her show would be a once in a lifetime experience
 

Why Music Is Important in Schools

     Ive always been told that music helps the mind develop and grow. I have found this to be very true. It's a proven fact that participation in a music program in school will help develop your brain to a higher level and faster than other students. So by cutting these classes in schools, wed miss out on this oppritunity.

Save a Life

                This year, I overcame one of my biggest fears.  I donated blood for the very first time, even though I was pretty scared.  I wasn’t scared of actually giving blood, but the giant needle they use to take it.  I decided to deal with my fear because donating blood is something that has been on my bucket list.  I wanted to be able to say that I was brave enough to give blood and help save someone’s life because we all know there are plenty of people in the world who will need blood at some point.

Art in School

A lot of people may think that art gets in the way of school. That this activity may distract the student from taking what some call "core classes." However, studies show that art actually helps the students. According to the Art Education Public Awareness Campaign. "Just like kids need to have good nutrition on a daily basis, kids need to have their daily serving of the arts."

Tattoos

Everybody has some sort of intolerance. But some maybe higher towards people with tattoos. The people with intolerance towards others with tattoos goes from not really caring to verbal abuse and avoiding that person much as possible.

I believe not one person has the right to judge another because of what's on their skin. Tattoos can be a piece of art to someones past and culture. When somebody sees a person with tattoos showing, they automatically start thinking the worst. It could be somebody's ancestors that are being judged and called ugly.

The Life We Live

Here at Corning High School

We have the kids that judge
The other ones that hate
And the other half that love

I Am Who I Am

 

I am who I am

You are who you are

Black, Asian, Indian, Mexican, White.

No one can tell us apart at night. 

Why does it matter?

Why do people care?

Despite what other people think

its there opinions

we cant seem to bear. 

'nerds', 'religion', 'being gay', or 'overweight'.

All these differences leave us stranded 

with lack of self confidence and hate.

because you're a bully.

They have nothing else to do

you're just trying to stay true.
