Track does not only have many benefits like helping people learn sports man-ship, how to deal with losing a game, etc. It also keeps people from procrastinating and can relive stress for many.

Some people would disagree right away with my second statement and i'm here to tell you why you should listen to what I have to say to that before disagreeing. Why I care about this topic is because for many in high school they are afraid of joining a sports team. Weather that is because they don't think they will fit in with the team, or won't have enough time; What ever the case I know a sport like track will have more benefits than drawbacks. I say this because me myself have had a hard time with leaving things to be done last minute. I would say I am a very big procrastinator because I never think I have time to do things. That changed when I joined the track team. Not only did it help me to maintain my grade and do things on time it also helped me feel more apart of the school and feel more confident as well as helping me to take my losses with a grain of salt rather than a whole cup.I think other people should care about it because it really is an opportunity you don't want to miss. Not only will it help you academically and physically but it will help you with transition into high school. It teaches you long life lessons you will forever use. Some examples would be, how to take a loss, pushing through tough days, organization, team work, diligence, time management, and a whole bunch more.
I found this artical online about "10 reasons to join the track team ( https://www.freelapusa.com/10-reasons-to-join-the-track-team/). One point they made stoop out to me #5 " Track Is Not A 'Time Robber' ". This I believe is very true because after you do what is mandatory and expected you can leave. Its on you to stay longer and do that extra 2 miles, lift weights for 20 minutes, hurtles, what ever it is. Its up to you to use your time because if you want to get better that's up too you, no one can do it for you.I think this artical does a really good job of explain what its like.

I would like to end my point by a famous quote by a runner who goes by the name Billy Mills, a Gold Medal Olympian. "The ultimate is not to win, but to reach within the depths of your capabilities and to compete against yourself to the greatest extent possible. When you do that, you have dignity. You have the pride. You can walk about with character and pride no matter in what place you happen to finish." ( https://www.verywellfit.com/running-quotes-from-famous-runners-2911776 )

I believe that cheerleading is a sport, and it should be called a sport. Big bows, short skirts and bright lipstick is not the only thing we are about. We are about strength, power, and pep. We have long practices, with blood, sweat and tears. Hundreds and hundreds of dollars spent on nike pros and cheer shoes. Early morning practices and miles of running. Legs burning, and heads pounding. Does this not sound like every other sport? Is it because we have to dress up and smile cheesily? We have more to us. I have got hurt at practice so much. We throw girls and tumble and jump. We do not have any time to slack, our lives our in each others hands. I feel as though too many people make cheer seem like a joke and it is not. Football players like to say that we are weak, but they throw a ball and we throw girls? There is more injuries in cheerleading than most sports. We use every part of our bodies, even our face muscles. We do not just use our feet or our arms. We do not just hit a ball or kick one. We run and jump and use power. We deal with so much hate and still hold our heads high. Many people do not understand the stress of practicing for months and months to perform on a mat for two minutes. We have so much to worry about in such a short period of time. No matter what though, we never give up. We know the dangers of what we do, and how we do it.

I think that your thesis should be flipped: Big bows, short skirts and bright lipstick is not the only thing we are about. We are about strength, power, and pep: I believe that cheerleading is a sport, and it should be called a sport.

So you'd start your paper talking about all the stereotypes that let people say it's not a sport. Then you would move to talk about all the aspects that are--things like having to purchase equipment, the risk of injury, the physicality of performing. You could also even include stuff about how there are athletic scholarships and competitions. I think you'll have good luck locating research as well. This is a good start

5/6/2019 08:44:41 am

I think this is a good start. I don't know that many people would argue with you that the first part of your thesis could be argument--I don't think that it's much of a stretch to say that a sport teaches sportsmanship (losing gracefully is part of that), but I can see how this would be a part of your thesis and your paper. The second half the part about not procrastinating and relieving stress. I see that as arguable. I’ll be curious what research you find. What could be interesting in this part is proving that this sport helps you learn things that help you in life beyond sports—that might be an interesting direction to take the piece in.

I care about cheerleading because it has become such a big part of my life. Freshmen year I decided that I wanted to be part of a team. Not only any team but a team full of diversity and support. Having diversity between people and diversity with in the things we do as a whole.

People should care about cheerleading because we support many people. As a cheerleading your goal is to help your sports teams boost up they’re confidence. Tell them that they can do it, congratulate them when they score. Make it known that people are watching they’re game. But cheerleading can also be many other things. You can go to competitions and compete to be the best of the best. Or you can use it as a motivation to keep your grades up in school, if you have two F’s you can no longer participate.

As a cheerleader myself I am very passionate about the sport. There are many people who have done it longer than me however it has grown on me. One comment I always hear from my peers around me is “Cheerleading isnt a sport”. Even at my school cheerleading is categorized as a club under sports rules. Personally coming from me I believe it is a sport. We put in a lot of work and effort to making routines, learning new stunts, learning new flips and tricks to present to our peers. With that however there is a downfall. Everytime you go for something you aren’t going to hit it. You can get seriously hurt and have to push through. For example I got punched in the face this year during football season as we were practicing for pep rally. My flyer had broken my nose and given me my fifth concussion. I pushed through because we are a team and worked together. Although I was more limited with what I was doing i did as much as possible. I am part of a team, not a club. We work together, grow bonds, and persevere. We support our peers and we compete for to be the best of the best. It’s all a game, it depends on
how you play.

Dan Popoloski said “Although it is not officially defined as a sport by the NCAA or high school associations, it obviously should be for many different reasons.”
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/613494-10-reasons-why-cheerleading-is-a-sport#slide0
The Daily Republic said “Yes, cheerleaders have practice; yes, cheerleaders have to have physical abilities to cheer; and yes, there are cheerleading competitions. But cheerleading is first and foremost entertainment before a major sporting event. They are there to hype up the crowd. That is the basic purpose of cheerleading, no?”
https://thetylt.com/sports/is-cheerleading-a-sport

I agree with Dan Popoloski. However I agree with Popoloski, The Daily Republic makes some good points. They say that cheerleaders do practices, have physical abilities, and competitions. But shouldn’t that be the main thing why it is a sport? Effort, time and dedication are put into sports. That is exactly what cheerleaders do, put in time, effort and dedication. When many people think of cheerleaders they imagine a group of people in short skirts and high bows on the sidelines yelling “Let’s go boys!”. I would like to make the point that cheerleading deserves to have the title of sport because there is so much more to it.

5/6/2019 08:49:20 am

I don't know that I would say that people should care about cheerleading is a good thesis. It would be very hard to prove. To prove that it should be taken seriously as a sport, that's more realistic. And it looks like you've already located some research that helps you prove it.

illegal immigrants deserve the same rights as U.S born citizens because they have more risks, and they won't have anything to fall in if they fail education wise.

Immigration is a huge topic and it has been for many years , especially in the United States ,and still to this day, it is a huge problem, especially for illegal immigrants. Families that come into the land of opportunities to try to have a better life will still suffer, especially kids, that go to school, they will forever have to worry about whether they will be able to go to college and if they will have the life they have always wanted. Unfortunately those who have everything handed to them don't necessarily use to their benefit meanwhile immigrants have nothing handed to them so they have to work really hard. Other people should care because immigrants work so much harder than anyone so that they can have a better life that they were not able to in their home country, it is not fair that some people have to work so hard just to have a good life. I, myself, am an immigrant who luckily is legal but still have to go through so much just to have a good life, and I will always have to work harder just to have that which is sometimes given to other people. I have a lot of illegal friends who are graduating with me this year, and they are so stressed about what they are going to do with their life because they are not getting any financial aid money for not filling out taxes, they do get money from private colleges but private colleges are so expensive that what they give them will not be able to even cover half of their tuition. some examples I would be able to use is how kids have to say goodbye to their parents and wonder is they'll have to go through that, and having to start all over again in a country that they tried to get out of (https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/elkeweesjes/children-undocumented-immigrants-emotional-prison) || how illegal immigrants are not able to get into college (https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/immigration/news/2015/03/31/110122/undocumented-students-deserve-greater-access-to-higher-education/) . I so agree with what people are saying about this and I agree that it should be given more time into this subject.

5/6/2019 08:53:09 am

This is one of those super controversial topics I suggested you avoid. This is a very general and very hard argument to make in five pages. First off, we typically try not to call humans "illegal." The term used is "undocumented immigrants." Why would they deserve the same right as US citizens? And what do you mean they have more risks? And what are those risks and why does that mean that they should be given the same rights? And what rights exactly are you talking about? You've got a part here about education, but I'm not clear how that is related. Are you saying that undocumented citizens should be able to take advantage of public school? Even College? Like I said, this is super vague and will be difficult to prove. You need to narrow your thesis to one particular "right" and you will have to spend a good deal of your paper demonstrating why those folks who say they don't deserve these rights are actually wrong.

One of the biggest discussion in our ocean life, and how our ocean life is decreasing due to harmful produces such as plastic, rubber, oil. We have watched countless videos of how turtles get stuck in plastic or wraps that was dumped in the ocean or whales washing up on beaches filled to the brim in plastic, rubber, and chemical waste.
This topic is rather important to me because it’s one of the major factors of human life and human products destroying Earth. The ocean is an important supply to provide oxygen to our planet and storing of carbon dioxide. Not only does it provide us with that, it also provides our species an ecosystem to thrive and live in. The ocean also provides about 70% of the Earth’s surface.
Other people should care about this as well, if the ocean life decreases and gets further destroyed, our oxygen will not only decrease, but our Carbon dioxide will increase. Not only will 70% of our surface be destroyed, but the human life will also decrease alongside the marine life we have left. The ocean also transports heat the equator and the poles. We should focus on limiting our plastic and dumping into our oceans in order to save whatever we have left before it gets more ruined. The pollution is at an all time high, which also causes more harm to our oceans and air. But the ocean is more important and more better to focus on because without our ecosystems, what is the human race? It also makes our earth habitable.
On Tentree blog, they give u the “Ten Reasons Why We Should Save Our Oceans”, They give us reasons why the oceans affects our lives and also the Earth’s, and ocean has yet to be fully discover. They believe that in order to save our oceans we should treat it with care

5/6/2019 08:58:17 am

This is your thesis: and how our ocean life is decreasing due to harmful produces such as plastic, rubber, oil.

I think you mean harmful products and I think you mean that these harmful products are entering into the oceans. This borders on one of those controversial topics I warned everyone against. I'm worried that you can't really write about this in 5 pages. I would suggest focusing on one thing entering into our oceans--plastics or rubber or oil. You might pick rubber since everyone talks about both plastics and oil. Remember that this isn't a book report. So I don't think you'll find much that argues against not dumping rubber into the ocean--or research that says rubber isn't being dumped into the ocean. You'll want to argue for what the best way to handle this is. That's were your argument is. Because lots of people have ideas about how to do this but what is the cost-effective way to do it that really helps the environment? And what happens if we don't do it? That's where your thesis and research should take you.

Music soundtracks often go unnoticed with movie-goers of all ages. After watching any movie, I rush to Youtube or Spotify to listen to the soundtrack that accompanies the film. In my opinion, Marvel movies hire some of the greatest composers of this century, like Alan Silvestri who has been undertaken by Marvel to compose "Captian America: The First Avenger" (2011), "The Avengers" (2012), and "Avengers: Infinity War" (2018), and most recently "Avengers: Endgame" in 2019. Marvel has a habit of producing gorgeous films for this generation to devour, but the music behind the action often get ignored or pushed to the side by the flashy special effects.
I believe others should notice or know the complexity that goes into a movie score to fulfil the magic of the movie. If you hear the word "movie soundtrack" you will probably think of a musical, like "Beauty and the Beast" or "The Greatest Showman" with the stars of the music singing and providing music for the film.
I have been playing music since I was 11, and movie scores have made their way into my ensemble's repertoire. I know how troublesome it is to play a challenging composition; I cannot fathom how hard it is to create 30 songs for a movie. I am not a music master; I am simply a musician who knows what they like to hear.
In movies, music is used to create a simple connection between viewer and character. In Marion Kirkpatrick's review for Billboard, he states that the director and composer made a "master list of 500 songs that he pared down into a 90-minute mixtape" for the audience to associate to the character Peter Quill in 2014's "Guardians of the Galaxy"n (Kirkpatrick, 2014). "Guardians of the Galaxy" is nowhere near the first movie to establish this connection; they will never be last to use this method to achieve an emotional connection. Noted by John Fawell, in his analysis of 2000 film "Rear Window" (a movie not associated with Marvel or Disney) uses their sounds to "'support the feeling in Hitchcock [composer] wanted in each scene'" in order to establish a tone in a movie (Fawell, 2000). The music in films is used to establish the tone of the movie and leave the audience craving more from the film-makers and continue to buy more into a franchise.

Your thesis is somewhere in here: Marvel has a habit of producing gorgeous films for this generation to devour, but the music behind the action often get ignored or pushed to the side by the flashy special effects.
I believe others should notice or know the complexity that goes into a movie score to fulfill the magic of the movie.

At first I thought you were only talking about Marvel movies, but then it looks like you are talking about movie scores in general. It might be easier to talk specifically about marvel movies, but that's up to you. By talking about "magic" that challenge you as a writer to talk about what is magical about a particular movie and then show how it would not be so magical if the music isn't there. So you'll want to think carefully about the movies you pick so that you can speak succinctly and accurately about both the magic and the music that helps it be so.

College sports is one of the best things in my life, I watch it on a daily basis. Its something Ive bet money on and watch year round. Either basketball in the winter, baseball in the spring or football in the fall I watch them all. I care about it because these athletes will be the future stars we watch for all sports.

Others should care about this topic due to the fact that these kids make so much money for the college play for. They compete and put there bodies on line day in and out and they risk getting injured and not being able to play the sport they love and never get a big league contract, that they worked their whole life for.

I've never played college sports and I won't when I go to college, but I know all the teams and the divisions they are in along with the coaches and players who went to those colleges. I've played every sport I will talk about at least one point and know about all aspects., I've taken many medical classes and know the injuries that go into each activity. I want to be a sports trainer when i am older and this ties in two of my favorite things.

“Being a college student-athlete is a full-time job, bouncing between the weight room, the court/field, classes, and film sessions.” (https://www.collegexpress.com/articles-and-advice/athletics/blog/should-college-student-athletes-be-paid-both-sides-debate/) There are clearly two sides to this argument but I believe that college athletes should go to college for free or get paid. There are clearly going to be counter arguments and people who disagree but, I believe that if these athletes are keeping up good grades and doing weight room and practice and games and traveling their doing much more than the average student and they're only at a disadvantage.

5/6/2019 09:11:06 am

So thing is, you don't actually say what your thesis is. You tell me you like to watch college sports. You tell me that you aren't going to play college sports. You tell me that college athletes make a a lot of money for the schools they play for and that they do so at risk to their bodies and that they might not make a lot of money after college. But you never say what your argument is. I know you think that college athletes should be paid. The trick for your thesis is to focus in on the why--it can't be huge and vague. It's only a five page paper. So what specific reason or reasons do you think that college athletes should be paid? And why are the people who say they shouldn't be paid wrong? That's your challenge.

A large majority of young kids and young adults today spend a lot of their time playing videogams either if it be portable or a console. I feel like the young child category of the people that are into video games can get affected the most by it. Young aged kids will play a video game having fun but at the same time observing what goes on in the game.The children usually will observe and learn things that are going on around them and most kids playing video games can find a change in the child after enough observation of what there paying attention to.What people should be concerned about is what type of video game could end up changing the individual child in a positive way or in a negative way.

What people should notice that kids are alway learning off of everything they do and see whether it would be happening virtually or in actual reality.For example a child could end up playing a video game that can educate them on school curriculum like math science and other types of education.On the other hand a child could play a video game about violence and wreaking havoc on others and being a bad individual all together.Now at the end of the day after enough experience to the video game that's appealing to the the child will apply these treats they see in the videogame into their actual life whether it be positive or negative.Like the child who plays video games to try to further his education and do better in school to improve his grades and the other child playing video games about being a bad violent individual could end up being the complete opposite of a good individual and bringing violence upon other.These examples could affect the large majority of little kids who do play video games.

In the article Little by little,Violent Video Games Make Us More Aggressive the author Alice park states.”Brain imaging studies also hint that exposure to violent gaming may actually temporarily change the brain. In a 2011 study, for example, after a week of daily video gaming, brain scans of a small group of volunteers showed less activity in the regions connected to emotions, attention, and inhibition of impulses compared to participants who played non-violent video games. The effect appeared to be reversible, but the results suggested that extended periods of play could lead to more stable changes in the brain.”

5/6/2019 09:14:42 am

So here is the closest thing to a thesis that I see here: What people should be concerned about is what type of video game could end up changing the individual child in a positive way or in a negative way.

I think that this will work (there is certainly research here), but you want to beef up your language here. You aren't arguing that playing video games is bad for young children; you are saying that playing certain video games are bad for young people and adults--parents, caregivers, and teachers--should take interest and care in making sure kids are playing the right ones. Something like that? Do you see how that's more precise? Part of your paper will be about how kids learn things at an early age. Part of you paper will be about video games and exposure to video games. You might find you need to further narrow your argument. There is a lot here to say on almost all of your different parts of your thesis--it might be too much for five pages.

Baseball is arguably one of the hardest sports and requires some of the most focus and quick reactions.

The average person may not be aware of this argument, but it’s actually a common conversation among athletes and although hitting a baseball may seem easy, there’s a lot of science behind it. This topic means a lot to me because I play baseball and it’s my favorite sport, but I also consider myself pretty athletic and I enjoy playing other sports and I respect other sports. So when someone disrespects baseball and says it’s not hard it bothers me, especially when you think about how fast you have to react for pretty much everything in the game of baseball.
I feel like other people should care just out of respect because even if you don’t understand the game or don’t enjoy watching it, it’s just not right to disrespect it and say it’s easy and act like anyone can do it. People need to give the sports and the athletes more credit.
Part of the experience that I’ve had is just the fact that I’ve been playing baseball for around 13 years of my life and I’ve also watched many games at many different levels of play.

5/6/2019 09:17:57 am

So the part of your thesis that is sort of missing is are there people who say playing baseball is the easiest sport to play? Easier than golf? it seems like your thesis is saying that its hard not necessary because of the physical demands it places on players, but the mental focus and physical precision it requires. Is that right? Or is it also hard on players physically? I'm interested in the idea that people should care about this out of respect. Not sure it will work, but I'm interested. Also, could consider that we should care because we say this is our national pastime, and what does it say about us if we don't respect the game?

Some people think that mentoring is just giving orders but actually mentoring is about the connection and the growth of the student.

I care about mentoring because I mentor middle school kids and the kids look at their mentors as their role model or a big sister/brother. They will love you like you're part of their family, but if you are a terrible mentor the kids will not come to you, they will just talk bad about you behind your back. People need to be more aware of this because as you know I mentor middle school students and other mentors that I work with don’t care about the kids. They just want their volunteer hours or work hours and get out of there. That makes kids feel unappreciated, makes them feel that they are not good enough or that they are annoying, etc... Kids need to have their mentors support to be able to grow and learn. For the past couple of years, I have been mentoring younger kids and I think that mentoring programs need to be more rigid requirements to hire mentors for their program. The programs should pick mentors that are really passionated by this job and not pick people that just want an easy job and just get their paycheck by the end of the week.
I found an website called National Mentoring Resource Center, they give you a lot of resources like: “Types of resources available: “Mentor Guides and Handouts, Mentor Training Resources, Program Management Resources, Program Policies and Procedures, Recruitment and Marketing Tools and Resources for Mentees and Families”. These resources will help mentoring programs to create guides, training and handouts for people that are interested in mentoring. I also found this website called “Mentor the National Mentoring Partnership”, they give you a training curriculum that tells you what you need to become a mentor. They said that mentors need: Relationship-monitoring requirements (e.g., response time, frequency, schedule) which proves my point that mentors need to support their kids by being with them and advise them.

To conclude I agree with these websites because they have the right requirements to hire a passionate mentor that will be a good role model to the kids.

5/6/2019 09:23:00 am

I would say that the research you found and the stuff you say in that paragraph are about the benefit of mentoring, but it is not about the kind of mentoring that young people need--so not bullying or giving directions but, instead, guiding and supporting. So that makes sense to me as a thesis, but you want to keep in mind that this is where your research should be focused. You might need to change those words a little bit to help you find search terms for your topic. You'll see when you start to do serious research.

Eminem is the single greatest rapper of all time. This argument is not only about his personal accolades and album sales, it digs deeper into his life and skillset which separates him from all other rappers. Eminem grew up with a very difficult past, having to deal with many bullies at a young age, causing him to move from school to school. Although I only transfered schools once in my life, I had to deal with bullying in middle school. That is what relates me to Eminem and why I care about this topic so much. With Eminem going through many tough times, such as dealing with an alcoholic mother and having no father growing up, he makes music that can relate to peoples troubles. He makes music for all of my moods and is a rapper that I think anyone with a good taste of rap music can listen to. I have been listening to Eminem for years now. I have been a big fan of his music and just him as a person and has influenced me as a person. I have researched him and watched documentaries about him and feel I know a lot about the great rapper. Other rappers have a lot of respect for him and talk of him as the greatest of all time.

5/6/2019 09:25:17 am

So the only thing that I'll say is that this is an excessive statement. I think that an easier argument to make is that he is one of the greatest rappers of all time.But, more than that, I need for you to tell me why. Very specifically. You talk about how his life was hard and that you like to listen to him, but none of that is about why he's the greatest rapper of all time. you'll find research that supports this, but you'll also find research that says the opposite. You'll need both and you'll need to reasonably argue by those who say he is not a great rapper--or not the greatest rapper--are wrong.

I care about the history behind the bicycle because bicycle motocross has had such an impact on my life. When I was younger, just like 94% of the United States, I learned how to ride a bike. My uncle told me that if I ever want to be good at riding I need to learn on a BMX and I need to go fast. He used to say “the faster you go, the smoother the ride” and he was right. Just the feeling of the wind smacking my face and the adrenaline from falling and getting right back up to keep on going got me into bicycle motocross.
Others should care about the history behind the bicycle because it is a part of our history and of our lives. It would be different world without this mechanical device. Just imagine not having a bike when the ice cream truck is driving by on a hot summer day. It would be terrible because now it is too hot and there is no ice cream.

When I was younger bicycles wasn’t just my hobby but I treated it as my job. I would scroll through Ebay and Offerup and go on danscomp to see if there was a major discount because I had a goal. My goal was to successfully make the lightest, most stable, coolest, but didn’t cost a lot of money build of a Haro BMX Boulevard. And I did it.

There are many theories on how the bicycle was made and I don’t know which one to believe. It is really based on the timeline and how there wasn’t internet back then the history timeline could be corrupt. One of the theories says in 1493 a “student of Leonardo De Vinci drew crude designs in one of his documents” that scientists thought was a bicycle. Others thought it was invented by a german engineer. Going off of that there is another theory saying it wasn’t just the German engineer it was a family project.

I care about money management because money is everything, to put it simple you just can't live without money period. That's why it is really really important to understand how to manage your money, how to keep track of it and how to spend it wisely. People do seem to care about money and certainly want more and more but I don't see many people especially teenagers making wise choices that will help them grow financially and or not go into debt and achieve financial independence. Other people should care about it because-once again “Money is Everything” here is what I mean by that if you don't have money you can't afford a house, you can't afford a car, you can't afford your children, your children's education, going out to eat or your bills or vacation or you probably can't even afford to retire, there are so many things you can do if you have money and it's really important to know how to spend it wisely and how to save wisely. My experience was that I used to spend so much money on things that I didn't need I would just buy anything that I wanted on the day that I got my check and didn't care about how important it was to have at least an emergency fund that you can rely on, after some time I started realizing that I can't reach my future goals of opening up a business if I keep spending my money like this, so I made a plan that I will only spend a certain amount of money that I keep in my checkings account and everything else that I don't need will go into my savings account and that helped me out a lot. I agree with all the websites related to money management, literally every single website related to money management will explain to you how to save/manage your money or advise you to certain websites that can help you save and that's why i’m in their favour.
