Two Kinds

1.) Parents do pressure their children to achieve. I believe that this is so because the parents know the potential of their children and want the to be successful. 2. ) Children and their parents disagree upon things such as curfew, chores, relationships, and money. 3.) Personally, I believe that people can be anything that they want to be as long as they work hard enough to to achieve their dreams. 4.) I do not believe that all conflicts have a winner. If two people are arguing there are two sides of the argument, which could turn out any way. If the result of the argument is something that neither of the two people wanted then no one won the argument. 5.)The relationship I have with my parents differs greatly from the relationship that Chinese children have with their parents. My mother and father do expect nothing but the best from me, but they do not force me to do anything that I do not want to do.

When it comes to writing I wouldn't consider myself abysmal, but I'm certainly not the best. My strength in writing is holding a conversation with the reader, so narrative is really my style. I'm great at telling stories and keeping the reader intrigued. My weakness would most likely be determining which person to use when writing the paper (first person/third person). Since I'm good at holding a conversation with the reader, that is usually what I resort to. Even in situations where the paper should be expository. My action plan for this is to read more and try to identify the way in which the books are written.
Hi everyone, my name is Tatiaunia Burgett. I'm a 16 year old junior at Ben C. Rain High School. I'm very outgoing and I love to make people smile. My best friends are Caitlyn and Anna. My birthday is October 10th {10/10}. My favorite color is blue. I'm the oldest of eight, three of which are adopted. When I'm not at school or at work, I'm in my bed on the phone with my boyfriend. I'm currently enrolled at Bishop State Community College, I will be taking these classes for both the fall and spring semester. My favorite subject is math, although I'm much better in english. My aspirations for the 2016-2017 school year are to keep my GPA high, excell on my AP test, and remain in the top of my class. When I graduate as valedictorian I'm going to attend USM where I'll study to become Forensic Pathologist.
