Lifes test

We are tested in many ways throughout our lives. Tell about a time

when you were tested.

Bullies

Elementary and secondary schools around the country are
beginning to actively address the problem of bullies. In your
opinion, is bullying an issue that should be addressed by schools or
left to parents? Use specific reasons and examples to support your
position.

Lessons Learned

We learn many lessons from many different sources throughout

our lives. Tell about a time you learned something that you can’t

learn from any book.

Homework help? or homework cheating?

Students who don’t want to do their homework can find dozens of

sites on the Internet that offer essays for sale. Do you think this is a

legitimate business, or should these enterprises be shut down? Use

specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Take a chance

Describe a time when you enjoyed something you thought you

would not like

Overcoming obstacles

How people handle a problem often reveals a lot about their

character. Describe a time you encountered a difficult problem and

how you solved it.

Knowledge

It has often been said "Ignorance is bliss" or "What you don't know won't hurt you". Do you agree with these statements? Why or why not?

Perseverance

Over the weekend President Obama attempted 22 basketball shots making only two. He tossed up more bricks than a mason. However, his dogged determination was remarkable because he never gave up. He didn't make an outside shot until his 22nd shot. Describe a time when you or someone else didn't accept failure. Provide as much detail about the situation as possible.
