"Sandra Day O'Connor." U.S Supreme Court media Oyez. Wednesday, March 26, 1930 . 21 Nov 2008 .


"The isolated ranch made formal education difficult so O'Connor's parents sent her to live with her maternal grandmother in El Paso. Sandra attended the Radford School, a private academy for girls, from kindergarten through high school. Suffering from extreme homesickness, she withdrew and returned to Arizona for a year. Still, she graduated with good marks at the age of sixteen. O'Connor attributes much of her later success to her grandmother's influence. She credits her grandmother's confidence in her ability to succeed in any endeavor as her motivation for refusing to admit defeat."

Dear Mr. Romero,

During the second semester dealing with the National History Day project, I have been stressed out and pushed a lot harder then the first semester; making things difficult. my grades in English class for the first semester show my ability to get the "A" I deserve in this class.
Even though my behavior in class isn't always great; I get my work done. I am not trying to say that I am perfect, because I do make mistakes like everyone else. I deserve the "A" in this class because i do my work and I do my best in class even if it isn't visible to you.
I deserve to get the "A" in this class because I do have the ability to gain an "A" average; as you may have noticed from my grade in the first semester. I would be very grateful if I do get the "A".


Sincerly,
Shaquille Rankin

P.S: thank you very much

huckleberry finn

i think huckleberry finn should not be taught in shool because of the fact that the language in story is very bad for school atmostphere.i feel like if teachers want us to stop cursing why would put us in the kind of enviroment.another reason why huckleberry finn shouldnt be taught in scool is because it talks about gangs and smoking and that is enough to let it not be taught in shool.thats why hucleberry finn shaouldnt be taught in shool.
