$20,000 by Blake Boles

In the video “what could you do with $20,000” presented by Blake Boles, he explains in the world today college is very expensive. A year of college cost about 20,000. After four years of college students go in debt with student loans about $27,000. If someone want to have a real, specific profession, then they should go to college. There are many jobs out there where if someone didn't go to college they could not even apply for, Jobs such as doctors, and lawyers. There are many low paying jobs that a person not attending college could get. The benefit of not attending college is a person save a lot of money. There is also the fact that the person that does not attend college gets a low paying job and then has no money.

Blake boles describes tons of things that he can do with his money besides going to college. Its a very argumentative presentation given by Blake Boles because a lot of people would argue that if they didn't go to college they would be even more behind in life than if they didn't spend the money on college. On the other hand people could argue that being $27,000 in debt is worse.

Summary:  

Topic sentence: “What's Wrong With the Teenage Mind?,” by Alison Gopnik, shows the pubertal increase in teens at an earlier age.

Supporting evidence: Gopnik says, that puberty is now kicking in at an earlier age, the leading theory points to changes in energy balance as kids eat more and move less. Another point Gopnik states is that in contemporary life, the relationship between these two systems has changed dramatically.

Evidence: Gopnik asks, “How does the boy who can thoughtfully explain the reasons never to drink and drive end up in a drunken crash?” Children are reaching puberty body when quite frankly bodies aren’t ready for this change.

Explain: To kids brains all these things seem fun at the time, maybe testosterone increase or peer pressure, but really they can be threatening to your future.  

Counter claim 1: Although, some children are able to handle the change in their bodies.

Setup: Teenagers have become so diverse some becoming young adults and some staying immature.

Reading means learning from a book.

 

We read in order to learn and explore.

 

When I read I sit in my room and I drink some Kool-Aid and I read a book.

 

When I get confused with a piece of reading I usually re read the text.

 

Its very difficult for me to read a lot in one sitting because I dislike reading.

 

I know I'm successful when I read the whole text and understand it

 

My role as a reader is to read many books throughout my lifetime.
