 Kids Should Have Some Work Ethic
    This paper is about a study of kids working part time and nonworking kids. If you do good in school,you have more commitment and get better grades. If you work ten hours, you tend to do better in school. If you work twenty and more, you are too tired to work in school. With a good attitude towards work, you tend to slack off in school.Students that work tend to cut corners.If you make more money, you tend to be less devoted to school.Students that work long hours are more likely to drop out. Teenagers with $200 & $300  tend to spend their money on drugs and alcohol. Kids who work part time loose interest in school.

     I think kids should get some work ethic, but they should not be getting bad grades. But on the other hand, some kids never work a day in their life. What are they going to do when they need a job. Kids need some work ethic in the real world.

plastic in the ocean

Why is there a island of plastic in the middle of the ocean? Because bigger cities along the coast they tend to throw more trash in the ocean. Even islands that are small seem to get a lot of trash on their shore. People throwing trash from California floats all the way to Hawaii and arrives on the nice white sandy beaches. Did you know that there's a large island of trash that floats in currents  the size of Texas? I think GOAK should do somthing about this island of  floating trash.
