bike, a new phone, or even a new house!  The nicest thing about getting 
something new is that it replaces something old.  Old things usually are 
broken and do not funtion like they need to, so there is nothing like getting
a replacement.  Looking at my school building, I realize that it, too, needs 
replaced. We need a new building because the building is over-crowded, has old infrastructure, and cannot support the academic 
needs of its students.

I do, and it all started after they dropped out of highschool. It’s a known fact that high school dropouts have a higher chance of ending up in jail. I believe that we should higher the pregraduate age to 18 years old instead of 16 years old because of these three important reasons, high school dropouts have a way lower salary compared to graduates, high school dropouts have a higher rate of unemployment, and high school dropouts have a higher likelihood of going to jail and being on public assistance.]]> 2017-01-18 23:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/oi253q8c5k3s/wish/147971577 Alexis https://padlet.com/cjelderks/oi253q8c5k3s/wish/147971620 There is quite something like having better things in your life. Examples of that are having a new house a new  job that will also pay you well.Sometimes you may just want to start fresh. Looking at my school there are a  lot of kids that dont come to school on a daily basis We need to not have kids drop out because they wont get a job like they will when they have a  diploma  , and also because they can get  higher tax raises.  In fact my sisters they did graduate and got a well paying job compared to my cousin.]]> 2017-01-18 23:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/oi253q8c5k3s/wish/147971620 Keith https://padlet.com/cjelderks/oi253q8c5k3s/wish/147971646 The old, lonely man sleeping in the homeless shelter regrets many choices he made. He wishes he had made better choices in his past. This man regrets doing drugs, drinking too much, and most importantly of all, he regrets dropping out of high school. He dropped out at 16, which is too young. The pre-graduation dropout age should be raised to 18, as long as it is relevant, because dropouts make less money, are more likely to go to jail, and have a lower job satisfaction rate.]]> 2017-01-18 23:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/oi253q8c5k3s/wish/147971646 Joahua Sutton https://padlet.com/cjelderks/oi253q8c5k3s/wish/147971775 Some people think they should be able to drop out of school. Some people think they will LIVE but the only other way to LIVE is to say in school till there 18. I Believe students should stay in school till they’re 18 because they’ll get better jobs, They’ll get more money, and because of all of the problems that happen if they drop out. (you probably will live just it sounded better]]> 2017-01-18 23:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/oi253q8c5k3s/wish/147971775 alex https://padlet.com/cjelderks/oi253q8c5k3s/wish/147971815 Dropping out of high school is was the worst decision of my life. I'm now on the streets and addicted on drugs living in a cardboard box. Things were going fine for a while but when i started looking for a job no one would hire me. I applied for every job possible but no one was hiring me. Then someone drugged me. I was addicted the next day and spent the rest of my savings cocaine. In my essay i will tell you what i did wrong, why you should say in school, and why you should never touch drugs.]]> 2017-01-18 23:07:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/oi253q8c5k3s/wish/147971815 leila https://padlet.com/cjelderks/oi253q8c5k3s/wish/147971854 There she sits crying in the rain thinking why she dropped 10 years ago and she’s regretting that discussion we should never let that happen again. I believe that kids should stay in school until they’re 18 because dropping out

James threw his controller down in a fit of rage, as James went to get out of his bed he heard a knock at the door. Already mad, he yelled “ Go away!”, the knocks persisted without any intent of stopping. Suddenly the door was busted down and a whole squad of cops rushed into the apartment surrounding James. ]]> 2017-01-18 23:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/oi253q8c5k3s/wish/147971859 Bryce https://padlet.com/cjelderks/oi253q8c5k3s/wish/147971905 There this guy sits under the bridge thinking about a couple years ago when he dropped out. He sits there thinking why he dropped out. He says to himself why did i drop out at 16. He says I wish they would of made us stay at the age 18. We should raise the dropout age till there 18 because better job opportunities, cause the most problems, and last bad lifestyles. ]]> 2017-01-18 23:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/oi253q8c5k3s/wish/147971905 Kyle https://padlet.com/cjelderks/oi253q8c5k3s/wish/147971924  
There are lots of setbacks in life and even very big mistakes in life. Everybody makes mistakes and some are worse than others, but in Carlos’s mind none will ever be as bad one he made just a little over 30 years ago. He dropped out of school and then lived on the streets for 25 years now. Don’t be like Carlos nobody deserves to live like that. We as a community need to raise the dropout age to 18 because kids are more likely to do crimes, they make more money when they stay in school longer, and they get even more freedoms when they are 18.

They can do drugs go to jail do crim be in ganges. If you stay in school you're more likely to have a better life. You can have better family.]]> 2017-01-18 23:09:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/oi253q8c5k3s/wish/147971926
