We Are Fragile - Janicka
It's fragile. Every one of us. Some may be harder to break than others Some could break with just one wrong word, sentence, or action People could be breaking right now and we don't even notice They could be hiding their sadness behind their smile But if you look into their eyes...you'll see that they are breaking And wonder how you didn't see it before We are fragile. |
Respect Life Essay - Janicka
“If a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me, there is nothing between.” What is the point of killing a child just because there is a possibility that they are born with special needs? Every single human being was created for a reason. People with special needs can be just as successful as a person who doesn’t. You should be grateful that you are able to be parents because not everyone can. God will love us all no matter what. |
You should love and support your child no matter what. So what if they are different from everyone else? That shouldn’t matter because all they need is your love. If you abort a child, they will never know what it’s like to be loved. They wouldn’t be able to know what it’s like to have someone care about them. You should be thankful that you are able to become parents because some are not able to. Those who are not able to start a family are not as lucky as those who are. Parents shouldn’t just throw their child away because of the possibility of it having a disability. You do not have to go through this alone. There are people who can help you. For example, certain resources can help support your child throughout life.
We can stop abortion by letting everyone know how wrong it is. We can have counselors talk to schools; especially high schools. Since high school is the time teenagers are most likely to have sexual intercourse, counselors can talk to them about how difficult it is to raise a child. Counselors can also tell them how morally wrong it is. If they still want to have an abortion, counselors can tell them to put their child in foster homes so that they wouldn’t kill the child. We can spread the word to others by making advertisements. We can put posters up and even make a commercial about abortion. By doing these things, we can not only spread the word to teenagers, but to everyone else in the world.
You shouldn’t kill a precious gift from God. God loves us no matter what because we are all perfect in his eyes. Just because your child might be a little different doesn’t mean anything to God because we are all equal to one another. The Bible teaches us that the unborn are still children. The Bible also states that abortion is morally wrong because you are murdering someone. You are going against the sixth Commandment. The sixth Commandment is “You shall not kill.” Even though the child isn’t born yet, you are still killing a child of God. As Catholics, we believe that all life is sacred from conception to death. Every life matters in God’s eyes.
In conclusion, you shouldn’t abort a child because they could be the next Einstein or Mother Teresa. This also means that even though they might have a disability, they could be very successful. You should be very appreciative of the fact that you are able to become parents. You should love a child like God loves us. Abortion is morally wrong because you are murdering a child of God. Every child is irreplaceable and important to God’s plan. Last of all, abortion is a ten minute procedure and you have the rest of your life to regret it.

Persuasive Essay by Janicka
“The only time you should text and drive is when what you have to say is more important than your life.” -Anonymous Want to know something scary?

It’s an uncertain fact that texting while driving has a greater effect on the rise of car accidents. Many problems can rise from texting and driving. Some examples are that it is a distraction from the road, it leads to a decrease of attention, gives you limited physical ability, and many more! In 2011, almost 23% car crashes involved the use of cellphones. This equals 1.3 million car crashes!
The minimal amount of time that your attention is taken away from the road while you’re texting and driving is 5 seconds. This might not seem like a lot of time, but if you’re traveling at 55 mph, this will equal driving a football field without even looking. That’s about 91.44 meters without even looking up from your phone!

One thing I have to say to those who text and drive is...who cares if you think it’s easy or not easy to text and drive? You shouldn’t even be using your phone in the first place! If you need to call or text someone, pull over and don’t risk your life. If it’s not important, don’t even think about replying because you might end up hurting yourself and others. A text or call is not worth losing your life.

How Do You Define Yourself? - Janicka
What I saw from Lizzie Velasquez’s video is that there are benefits to everything you have. Your outer-appearance does not define who you are. I am the one who decides what defines me. No one else can do that but me. I am awesome and if some people can’t see that, it’s their loss. If you have a disability, disease or anything else, know that those things will never define who you are. Always remember that only you can define yourself and no one else. |
I have come to realize that I am crazy and loud around friends, family, and other people I am comfortable with. I am also shy and like to hide in my shell if I don’t know a person well enough to be my full self around them. Some positive things people say is that I’m nice, weird, have a big sense of humor, funny, and know how to cheer people up. Some negative things people say is that I can be mean sometimes and use a lot of sarcasm. I know that I can be mean but sometimes it just comes out of nowhere; like I’m happy one minute then mad, quiet, or sad the next while other times I’m just mean because something happened that put me in a bad mood. I also know that I use a lot of sarcasm but I can’t really help it. To “merge the 2 people together”, I will watch my actions and try to be nicer to people, especially my sister, and to try not to use sarcasm a lot. I will try to do these things without changing myself so much that people might think I'm an entirely different person.
Importance of Religious Freedom by Janicka
Religious freedom is important. Religious freedom helps everyone in the world develop. In addition, the first amendment states that we have freedom of religion. We would not be able to flourish in our development if our freedom in religion is denied. Religious freedom creates conditions for peace for everyone around the world. Unfortunately, there are some parts of the world that defy our right to religious freedom. Religious freedom allows all of us to come together and become representatives for a peaceful change. Without religious freedom, why bother calling ourselves a community? |
Religious freedom allows us to express ourselves and be different from one another. With one God, there will be no diversity. God gave us free will which allows us to make choices without the restriction of fate. Religious freedom allows us to express, think, and act upon what we truly believe in. With religious freedom, different religions are able to flourish. Religious freedom protects the right of everyone, religious or non-religious. Religious freedom enables diversity to become a source of national strength.
In conclusion, religious freedom enables us to develop and prosper. Some parts of the world have been violating our right to religious freedom. Religious freedom allows us to come together as a community. Additionally, it enables us to live in diversity and make our own choices. Our variety in religion becomes a start of national power.

Passion - Janicka
Passion is when a person loves to do this one specific thing and can’t live without it. They would do what their passion is for years and would never stop. They would be happy with what they are doing. They would never give up no matter how difficult it’s getting and would practice and practice until it’s perfect. My passion is dance. My passion is dance because it helps me forget about my problems. Dancing helps me escape the world. I have been dancing for 7 years now and everytime I get stronger. Dancing helps me express my feelings because the music is the story and the dance is the words. You can also think of it like dance are the lyrics of the music. Dance is such a beautiful thing that I cannot live without. |
