Persuasive Paragraph

Converse is probably one of the crappiest shoes ever. They are always falling apart on the top of them. The white plastic material is always coming off of the regular material on them. In my personal experience they only lasted about a month or two. I even made sure they would last long so I only wore them to school and basically walked to places. I never used them to run around in. Converse shoes are also uncomfortable. There is barely any padding on the bottom so its basically like walking on cement. In another personal experience I’ve had I would just walk around everywhere like at amusement parks and my feet get so sore so fast. They are so expensive for such crappy shoes. I would never waste my money on them again. I have noticed that kids wear Vans and they are ten times better then Converse.

Persuasive Paragraph

Country music is the best out of all music. Country music goes way back to when great grandparents were young. Since I could remember I have listen country music. I didn’t always like it. Country music is for the loving or hurting soul. When I’m sad or happy I can listen to country. In any mood you can listen to country and get happy! Well you don’t have to agree with me but country music is the best.

Persuasive Paragraph

Everyone should shop at Ross! Not a lot of people have money to splurge on clothes and Ross can help you in that way. Ross has name brand clothes but at discount prices. It is so nice to go to a store and find the clothes that you can find in the mall but for a lot cheaper. Some stores in the mall don’t have a lot of variety. Ross is constantly getting new clothes so you never get bored. When I go shopping for clothes the first place I go is Ross. I have so many good quality clothes and I haven’t spent nearly what other people pay for when they go somewhere else. Everyone should shop at Ross if they have a budget, but good taste.

Does anyone shop at Buckle? I think it is a complete waste of money. Their clothes and even jewelry are over $30 dollars. Their pants like Diesels, True Religion, and Lagoona pants are all around $150 to $300 a pair. You can go to other stores in the mall for pants that look exactly like the name brands for 40 bucks instead. Also their shirts look like little kids drew all over them and they are not even better quality. Also there is not very good service there and they kinda judge you.

Persuasive Paragraph

In my opinion the best skating shoe in the market are Fallens. One of the reasons why I think they are of better quality is because of the soul. In comparison to Vans, Etnies, and Circas, Fallens are your best bet. Their souls are made out of heavy duty material, which makes them more reliable than any other shoes. Not only are they realiable, but they are comfortable as well. When skating you want shoes that will give you advantage, and Fallens are sure to meet your needs. It’s important to be comfortable when skating, mainly because your feet will hurt and you’ll be able to skate a lot better. So when ever you go out skating, don’t forget your pair of Fallens.

Persuasive Paragraph

Ross is a great place to shop. It’s cheaper than any other store out there. Because in a young man’s world it’s hard to make money because college students get the jobs because they’re more qualified. So Ross is nice to go to where you can go and buy three to four shirts for twenty bucks, which I can afford. Also it carry’s stuff from popular stores so if you get lucky you might find a Calvin Klein sweater that originally cost fifty to sixty bucks for like fifteen bucks. So it’s nice to have an great and very affordable store available around.

Research: Good Examples of the Student Creed

Audrey Hepburn
By: Karissa


The actress and model Audrey Hepburn was not just a pretty face, but also a great example of giving service. Throughout her life she had dealt with many challenges but came through as one of the greatest actresses ever known. Her talents and actions have been recognized, by her family, producers, fans, and even presidents. Ever since she was a teenager up to when she died, she helped people. She gave to people less fortunate and worked to give her family what they did not have.

Audrey Hepburn is a great example of overcoming challenges and adversity. She was born during World War 2 and her family lived in Nazi territory. Her dad had walked out on Audrey when she was only six. Because it was just Audrey and she mom money was tight and times were hard. Audrey’s mother raised her with good values and morals. She grew up living by what her mother had taught her. (Ferrer xiii) As a teen Audrey moved to London with her mom and became a dancer and model so her mom wouldn’t have to work a bad job. After being discovered in New York her career took off and she was famous. (www.audrey1.org)

Although Audrey’s life was overwhelmed with movies and stardom, she had dedicated her life to caring for others and giving service. Audrey knew what living hungry and poor was like because of living through the war. Between movies Audrey traveled the world trying to raise awareness of problems happening in the world. When Audrey was done acting she was appointed a Special Ambassador to the United Nations Children Fund. She dedicated the rest of her life making sure she could help as many people as she could. In 1992 President Bush presented her with a medal of freedom for the work that she had done. (www.audrey1.org)

Audrey had made it clear that education and life long learning was the keys to today and the future. Audrey believed that the only solution to eh devastation in Somalia was education. (Ferrer 180) She went to different countries education both children and adults. There have been multiple funds dedicated on behalf of Audrey, used for educational purposes in other countries. Audrey was on a mission for UNICEF when she started complaining of stomach pains. She went home where she was diagnosed with cancer. She died Jan 20, 1993. (www.Imdb.com)

“Since the world existed there has been injustice. But it is one world, the more so as it becomes smaller more accessible. There is just no question that there is a moral obligation for those who have to give to those who have nothing”. (Ferrer 181) That is a quote from Audrey illustrating how she felt about charity. Audrey is a great example of how people should be. She gave to people who had nothing, and influenced people to do the same. Most people give a little when asked but people should be willing to give more. Charity is very important and Audrey lived by it.
