Should school food be changed to what it used to be before Michelle Obama's law was passed?



            I'm a junior from a high school by the name Hilliard Bradley and I have to say that all my friends and I personally don't like how Michelle Obama has changed our food choices. One of the things students from Hilliard mainly miss from lunch was the curly fries. They didn't just look good but also had a mouth watering taste unlike the new ones that were adopted during the school year 2012-2013. The ones that replaced them are the old and boring McDonald's style fries but with no flavor what’s so ever. They're most likely sent in packages that come in frozen from a company making them the least wanted thing on the schools menu on this very day although students still get them because it’s better to have something than nothing else to mix with your lunch even though half the students i know think they're not even made from real potatoes in the first place. The school fries aren't the only thing that bothers most students though. Soft drinks are now only sold if they are diet which is a bad thing for many reasons. One of those reasons is because it’s known for kick starting kidney problems to adding inches to your waistline. Many people thing drinking diet soda is plain out healthy for you because it has a big “DIET” sign right by the name of the drink but if you were to ask me “What should we do with these drinks?” then I would tell you with no hesitation “I think we should ban them from this school or any other school in which the students don’t want short or long term side effects for the great or good of the health of students that will one day be running this country.” Some people don’t believe in these side effects but research also shows that just because diet soda has no calories, fat, or sugar; it doesn’t mean that it’s healthy for you because believe it or not, it contains synthetic chemicals and no protein as shown on the webpage below.

Going to School in a Foreign Country.

Going to school in a foreign country is not always easy. Two things that mainly get in our way of students in foreign countries is usually having to adapt to a totally new language and having to take things from other students who may laugh at you when you may be trying to pronounce words you've never even heard of before. It doesn't just make us feel worthless, it also makes it hard for us to try and commit ourselves to strive to be better. It's not all about the students though; the English language has a big role in it too and the following shows a few examples that I found online of things that often threw me off when in English class shortly after coming to the United States roughly thirteen years prior to the existence of this blog.


As you can see, there are many ways to get confused when trying to find the plural of words and it can most definitely throw you off if a foreigner. I have to say for this reason that the founders of the English language could have done a better job although it has vigorously changed in the past few centuries.
Are E-Cigarettes a gateway to drugs?

Do E-Cigarettes make people want to try tobacco? Is it addicting? Does it have similar harmful chemicals? But most importantly; do they cause you to want to try real drugs?

These are all great commonly asked questions by many people who do, and don't use E-Ciggs but I personally believe that they can be the key depending on the type of person you are simply because everybody is different. It doesn't matter if you're ether a girl, guy, rich, poor, or even if you live in the capital of where this "Gateway drug" originated because everybody thinks differently and have his or her own unique perspective from their past personal knowledge. It may attract young kids at this time period and that may be bad for many facts but i believe that the parents of those students are in control if whether their child should be doing them or not in the first place.

These E-Ciggs are criticized by many people who "know" that these mechanical cigarettes are harmful but i have to say to those of you that you may indeed be right but till this day there is still no evidence that they have other side affects or that they may harm you at all. This is a tested fact that has brought Stacy Fader to say "E-cigarettes have taken off as a healthy replacement" on a article named 

"E-cigarettes: The Risks and Rewards" on the webpage below.

Facts on Iphones

          Fixing iphones is not something easy unless you have previously acquired experience in the past. People in general don't know much of the inside of an iphone but hopefully the picture below gives you a brief explanation of how hard it could be taking it apart and putting it back together for the first time.
When doing so though, most people find the hate the fact that you have to take off the back glass cover of the phone and pretty much take everything out when attempting to replace the screen because the company who makes and designed them thought it would be a good idea to make a really good phone that is hard to put together after taking apart. The purpose of this was so that people would spend a lot of money on getting their phone fixed by the company instead of attempting to fixing it themselves and possibly making a mistake that can damage or even completely ruin your phone. Not every iphone is same by the ways. They all vary internally depending on simple characteristics like company or weather if its a 4 or a 4S although some are similar so if you're thinking on fixing your iphone then i recommend you know what you are dealing with and that you know where the screws go because there are at least seven different types of screws that have their own uniquely made entrance in which they go in so if you happen to not be a good person at remembering things then to you i have to say GOOD LUCK!!!

My name is Gibby Castro and i go to the latest built High School in Hilliard, Ohio by the name Bradley and i'm always glad to give newbies some hints when it comes to technology. Thanks for reading!
