What is a response paper?
A response paper communicates your intellectual reactions to one or more books, ideas, or events. Much like a book review, the response paper usually provides an overall view of the book(s), idea(s), or event(s), and then responds in detail to more specific parts. For example, a response paper on the book, Actual Innocence, might give an overview of the book and its context, but then choose to focus on the writer’s concern about the problems inherent in minimizing wrongful convictions.

Avoid getting Freshman Fifteen Curse
The “freshman fifteen” is a term used in the United States and Canada to describe the weight gained by students during their freshman (first) year of study in college or university. The term refers to the often-reported, yet unsubstantiated claim that freshman typically gain fifteen pounds during their first year. The purported causes of this weight gain are increased alcohol intake and the consumption of fat and carbohydrate-rich cafeteria-style food and fast food in university dormitories.
Most people are conscious about gaining weight so you can do the following to avoid this:
1. Don’t be afraid of gaining weight. Your fear will make it worse for you.
2. Work out and watch what you eat. Do not eat too much fast food!
3. Eat with other people. You’ll be more careful about what you eat when you are eating with someone else.
4. Don’t eat quickly and stay away from late-night snacks
5. Don’t have many munchies in your room other than fruit and veggies
6. Don’t forbid yourself things you love. Just ask yourself, “do I really need a whole piece of cake?” or “do I need this EVERY night?” You can’t totally stop eating them just decrease the quantity.
7. Exercise! Walk with other people, go to the gym, go to the pool. Do not take the bus or the subway to the college wake up early and WALK!
8. Don’t wait until you’re starving to eat. You’re going to eat quickly and eat more and this is going to make you gain more weight.
9. Drink in reasonable amounts for 2 reason. First: Alcohol makes you gain weight. Second: The ladies don’t like a guy who is piss drunk and obnoxious and neither do the guys like drunk chicks.
10. Rule: if it doesn’t taste good after two bites, it’s not going to be worth finishing
Help Children Reach their Potential in School
We’re all hearing a lot of talk lately about improving public schools and what communities can do to help their schools get better. What role can parents play? And how can parents help their children reach their full potential in school, whether it’s public or not?
Education is a combined effort from Teachers, Student and the Parents. The communication between the teacher and the student ends in the classroom and that is not really enough time for the child to learn everything. He needs to study more at home, learn how to behave and more importantly how to live and that is what the responsibility of the parents is.
Parents can do the following to help their children reach their full potential in school.
1. Make sure the child is loved
All parents love their children but do they express it properly? Does the child feel loved? Does he/she feel important? Does their education matter to anyone? If the parents treat the child badly he/she will simply stop caring. When the child feels important and worthy he/she will succeed in order to keep feeling their worth. Always love your child!
2. Establish boundaries from the first day of your child’s life
Start putting boundaries and restrictions on your child from the beginning. Do not wait tell he gets older and gets out of control. You wont be able to put restrictions on him/her then! You have to do this early to set the moral standards and values you hope will guide your child as they make to aduthood. When your child enters kindergarten and hears their teacher saying the same things that you’ve been teaching them during the first years of their life, imagine the connection they make!! “My Mommy and Daddy are right!” You win credibility with them. They trust and rely that what you say is right.
