1. I think because now it is so much harder to get a good education and get a good enough job. In the article it says "Men who were born between 1960 and 1964 and graduated from college earned a median of $802,000 in cumulative earnings by the time they were in their mid 40s, up from $687,000 for men born between 1940 and 1944, according to a report released by the Urban Institute last month."
2. In the article, it says better grades lead to studying even after college. Better grades also say something about if you are going to continue on with college and graduate school.
3. It says that the stronger gender was the men. I think yes, it is a lot easier for men to get a job in today's world.

1. I think it's because they accomplished their goals, which were, to accomplish "educational excellence, democratic leadership, and personal growth". I believe that they did just that.
2. The purpose of this article is to let everyone know how serious military school. I also believe that one of the main purposes is the fact that they do teach kids good and strong so that kids can get taught how to act respectful and how they're supposed too. Many kids go there because they are disrespectful, at these places they teach them differently.
3. Here at South Haven high school, everyone is doing such a good job to get us all in line and have responsibilty. The teachers (especially VanDop) push us as hard as they can.

1. I do agree with this. Colleges need to know how you acted in high school, social media shows 75% of how you act. It's very good if they do this because that shows them how your social platform is.
2. Yes I do agree with this. Kids or teens always feel the need to be the center of attention at all times no matter what. They don't care about how people look at them in a good way, they just want to be goofy and try and make people laugh. They never know when to be serious.
3. High school doesn't mark you down on what you post on social media. They do not go and look and advise what you posted. I feel like maybe people in the High school needs to look at what you post and bring it to your attention that you aren't looking so good on social media.

1. I found an apartment near Grand Valley. To lease it is $8610, monthly rent is $680. If we split it we would both have to pay $340.
2. I have to pay $50 for my phone, My gas will cost $20, I will spend $40-50 a week for food. The rest I will use towards extra money for food.
3. Living paycheck to paycheck could be really hard because, what if you miss a day of work? That will drop how much you get by a lot of money.

1. I really want to go into the insurance business. One thing I really like about this field is that I am basically getting it handed to me because my uncle and cousins own an insurance business so its pretty easy to get into.
2. The college I really want to get into has to be Grand Valley. My uncle and cousin both went to Western but I know that there is a good program at GV for business and also for volleyball.
3. The highest you could get paid is about 122,590 and somewhere in the middle would be 48,200.

2. Customers and Competitors. Nike has millions of customers. At the same time, they also have many competitors.
3. Shoes sounds really easy to do.

For this article, it is definitely an involve and inform article.
I think it is problem and solution.
Virtual Reality is really cool. I think a lot of today's activities are all online so why not make it even more fun.
