LONG RESPONSE 

A sophomore at Hays high school Brynn Aylor was killed in a car accident this week.Brynn had been driving home after school and a curved road ,when a pick up truck had passed her. Aylor had reacted and jerked her car onto south bound traffic when she was hit by a ford explorer.Conner Musick, a student at Hays highs school had seen the whole accident happen, and he immediately went to Aylor's car to see her,but when he arrived he found her without a pulse,Aylor had died on seen.
To help prevent new drivers getting into situations like this, defensive driving courses should be offered at schools.Im about to start drivers ed ,and this accident has really spooked me into being a really cautious driver and know what to do when things don't go right.I don't think their should be controls in cars to stop drivers to not use their electronics, the driver should have enough common sense to not use their phone.Yes young teenagers should be allowed to drive because its apart of growing up.

LONG RESPONSE 
I do not think former president Obama sent surveillance on president trump,with the evidence present, i just think trump as well as his staff were just looking for a news headline yet again.Though its not 100% determined if Obama is ,or is not responsible for the surveillance ,if he was not and this headline was just another hoax from trump i believe an apology to Obama from trump should happen.However I'm sure Trump will refuse to apologize theres nothing that cab further be done,and he'll just have to live with another made up story he's made up to get a bad rep on someone.The FBI are looking into trumps connection with Russia because of his recent foreign contacts with them, and i believe that he does in fact have concerning connections with russia. Due to many reasons such as his past words, tweets,and actions i do not trust president trump, but i trust the GOP leadership to do what is needed to trump if they find a violation from him.

When i was probably about 7  i remember being extremely confused about how/what i was supposed to believe in ,in terms of spirituality, god,and faith. 

Majority of my friends were christian or catholic ,and frequent church goers, while i did not.

I was raised in a really weird upbringing of religious beliefs. My dad is muslim and ,my mom is catholic. Neither of them were heavy influencers in how i what i was supposed to believe in. My mom and dad never sent me or my sisters to church, but i vaguely remember going to sunday school with my neighbor who was also my best friend ,but the more i think about it now i defiantly only did that because it was convenient, but my parents always allowed me to so i did it, which is something else i really appreciate they did because they let me go out at a young age and find what i believed in,even if i fully couldn't comprehend.

The fact that my dad is muslim was always cool to me when i was young, especially where i was raised it is uncommon for kids to have a muslim parent.I always got to celebrate eid ,and have cool partys that were colorful and lively.A time that made me upset as a kid was when i learned about terrorists and how they came from where my family originates from and i got really ashamed of who i was when i was only about 10 years old.I often got asked what my religion i was and would just say catholic to fit in. But now i think about how half of my family is muslim and i think its so cool, and makes my different form others.

How ever now that im older and have the freedom my parents gave me as a kid to make my own beliefs, i actually came out atheist.And i genuinely think its because how conflicting both my religious surrounding were when i was young. None of the stories of how 'things came to be' made sence to me in the end, and still don't, as well as faith faith and destiny. The idea of giving yourself away to a god to decide what your life is to bring really blows my mind. I believe my life is made by my decisions that i are influence by my actions.

Long Response:

The basic idea of school choice is to create options for the way your child receives an education. With his background in school reform studies Douglas Harris thinks school choice is an important argument, and Brendan Steinhouser's believes in limited government and free market. I have attended private school in the past but not home schooled. In my experience in public school and private school there was no difference except that private school offered more options for personal student interest. And as for home school i really have no idea how it compares to public and private schools, but if i had to guess it would be a lot easier because it is self paced.I don't think my parents would send me back to private school because public school is more convenient for my family at this given moment.Im really comfortable at where i go to school and my friends so i wouldn't want to leave them.However i know private school could benefit my academics and create more options for me.But i also think private school keeps you kept away from events and occurrences in life that happens at public school that allows you to grow as a person and add character to your personality.
