My son is not really my biological son yet threw love he couldn’t be any more mine. His blood father left him when he was 3 months and I’ve had him since he was 1 I was there for him being sick when he needed pampers it was from me selling off some of my sneakers. Now that I want to legaly give him my last name the baby’s father doesn’t want to work with me.
ReplyDeleteMy reasons.
I’ve been taking care of him for 2 years
My wife and I are legally married
I am the only father figure my son knows
His reasons.
He’s the blood father
• As the child’s biological father he has all the rights
He wants to make things right
• He feels as if when the baby was born he wasn’t ready and now he is
I’m not his blood father
• No matter what I have given my son threw the law I have no right
Flaws in his reason.
Yes, even though he is the blood father is my son saw a picture of him and me he would call me daddy and most likely not know who he is.
There is no excuse for leaving your child to be raised without a father and if you weren’t for it why put yourself in the predicament
Genetically I am not the father of my son but for as long as my son can remember I was there helping with expenses and more importantly providing moral support.
Me and the father do not get along what so ever so he will use anything that’s stated in the law to make me back down form making him mine legally
1. The situation I'm going to discuss is about basketball. The arguements i tend to get into a lot is about whose a better basketball player Kobe Bryant or Lebron James.
ReplyDelete2. Is Lebron James a better basketball player then Kobe Bryant is? Ofcourse not, Kobe Bryant is on a way different level then Lebron is. Lebron James should not be compared to Kobe, he is nowhere near Kobe Bryant's success in the NBA.
3. Kobe Bryant holds five championship rings on his hand while Lebron James is ringless. After Kobe lost his former teammate Shaq, Kobe still remained a Laker and went on to win 2 more championships. Lebron in 2010 after playing for Cleveland for 6 years decided to leave the team and play for the Miami Heat thinking that's where he was going to earn his first ring with following teammates Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. Unfortunately his first year with Miami he lost once again and didn't win a championship with his new team. Kobe holds the second place in most points in a game which is 81 and Lebron's most was 56.
4. Because Kobe is old and Lebron is more dominate. Lebron averages more triple-doubles then Kobe does. Lebron has broke records for being the youngest player to accomplish some things.
5. If you break records or set up records and have no championships under your name, then they don't mean a thing. If you compare someone who hasn't won any championships compared to someone who has won 5 of them, then there shouldn't be any argument about whose better.
Outline Why do I need to go with him and his friend’s everywhere? How can I trust his friend’s in my life?
ReplyDeleteEvery weekend we see each other my boyfriend Jose he wants me to with him and his boys. I dislike that because if were together than we should spend it alone than choice to be with both. If I want to go out with my friends and with him as well he starts telling me to be with my friends than later on we see each other. I get upset and tell him to be fair because if I do it when I see him and his boys are around I have to be with both than I tell him “you should do the same” when I want to be both you’ll.
• I start yelling
• Gets me mad
• Makes me want to slap him
• Nothing is worse than to choice between both
It’s hard to choice between them
• It feels great to have them in my life
• Boys can help out when females need to watch guys bad moves
• Help open up your mind more and see what’s good or not
• Can make guys feel under control
I always try to finder out want makes us happy but in his world everything is okay but is not because it doesn’t seem right. Sometimes I wish he can understand but it’s hard. He has told me that am not bad but it’s nice to see a lot of connecting and trying to meet other people. At I should not worry because boys would be boys and girls would be girls it goes both ways always.

ReplyDelete1. As I was attending my senior year of high school, one of the main courses I needed to take in order to graduate was Algebra II. Unfortunately, the teacher and I didn't get along through out the entire year and he would always treat me different than other students. I'd always do my homework, but was horrible when it came to quizzes, tests, exams, etc. I needed to get my high school diploma, but this teacher pulled whatever it took to make that not happen.
ReplyDelete2. Thesis- A high school diploma, along with my graduation is bound to happen in my life.
3. A) I would always attend class.
B) Every homework assignment would be handed in on time and complete.
C) Treated the professor with full respect.
4. A) Believed I was not a motivated teenager.
B) He saw that the entire year I sat in the back of the class.
C) Sometimes saw me hanging out with the wrong crew after school.
5. In fact, I am a very motivated teenager, as I still am attending school and continuing my career and goal of becoming a respiratory therapist. Also, the back of the class has always been a comfort zone for me since kindergarten, but it becomes a lot harder to pay attention or even see the front board. In addition, those who I chose to be my "friends" in high school, are no longer involved in my daily activities nor life.
Most mornings, when I'm in the bathroom getting myself prepared to arrive to school. My father tend to complain behind the locked door wanting to know the reasons why am I taking so long in the bathroom. Then we start to have this huge argument about the bathroom, since there is six of us in the house. which it makes my mornings impossible.
ReplyDeleteMy position would be that complaining about how I'm taking longer in the bathroom can be annoying and won't allow me to move any faster.
- I prefer to have a peaceful morning instead of having to awake up to hear my dad complaining.
- I need my time to be well adjusted and not to be rushed out of the bathroom it would only ruined my mornings.
- Even though to him I'm wasting time in the bathroom. He's wasting my time to get prepared for school.
- He believes that if I wake up much earlier I would not be able to hold up the rest of my brothers at the time their heading for school.
- While I'm in the bathroom it should be quick
- He thinks the bathroom wouldn't be overcrowded
My father's opposition would be that if I was taking my time inside the bathroom,then it would be better off to hear him complaining across the room to teach me a lesson.

ReplyDeleteThe argument i'm always getting into is if Kobe Bryant is a better basketball player than Michael Jordan himself.
ReplyDelete2. Thesis - If Kobe Bryant should be compared to Michael Jordan? Of course not
3. A)Phil Jackson that coach both players said it himself that Kobe is no Jordan
B) Jordan's statistics are better than Kobe's
C) Jordan had more assist than Kobe until this date which makes him a better team player.
4. A)Kobe still has more years in the NBA
B)Kobe is going to win his 6th ring soon just like Jordan did
C)He scored 81 points.
5. I respect Kobe and he arguably the best player this past decade but I don't believe no one can be compared to what Jordan did for basketball. All his statistics are better than Kobe and that just says it all. Numbers don't lie.
I feel the biggest argument I have within myself is money. Its just ridiculous how hard you work for your money. The more you make the more you spend, as fast as it comes that's how fast it goes. Either because you want to pamper yourself or others, or the same government takes your money. By Giving you tickets for everything, overtime meters, for the smallest thing they see wrong on your car, if you breathe or not. Its just crazy.
ReplyDeleteThesis- Money is the base of our life's, being either rich or poor without money we can not survive.
-No matter how much you try, you can never save up money.
-You may always feel unsatisfied, nothing is never enough.
-Due to this I start stressing
-I fall behind on payments, because they seem to pile up.
-Authority charge and fee/but thats how they get paid and we get paid, by them doing their job
In conclusion, there is nothing we can do. than just watch for what we spend our money on. Ask yourself if it is necessary, or is it something you can leave to buy some other time. Put everthing that is priority ahead of everything and whatever is left try to not to touch. Until you see progress.
• In my house we often have this situation when it comes to recycling garbage. Is something very simple and they make it a big deal and is funny that I as the youngest member of the family have to deal with it due to the fact that I’m the one in charge of taking it out.
ReplyDelete• It bothers me that they don’t take their time to recycle and just through everything in the same garbage bin.
• Recycling is something we are all in charge of.
• If everybody in this world could recycle; we would have a better world.
• There are different bins for each kind of garbage “use them”
Recycling isn’t that important everything is going to the same place anyways.
Why should I care if you are the one in charge?
I do recycle but sometimes I mixed them up.
The reason why I think my family members are wrong is because we as people are responsible to take care of the nature and with so many people don’t minding this matter and not caring about recycling the environmental atmosphere and the whole world are in dangers specially our kids which in the future will suffer the consequences.
Conflict:
ReplyDeleteMy sister was renewing her vows, but I was not able to attend because I had to work a ten hour shift. Although my sister understood this, her daughter didn’t, and since I could not be there my niece stopped all communication with me.
Why do some people choose not to give others the opportunity to explain them self? It seems that the only opinion that matters is theirs. This type of method in handling circumstances or conflicts is not healthy.
My points:
• I couldn’t go because I had to work and I was a new employee.
• My sister gave everyone that she invited less than two weeks notice about the event.
• If there was an issue, the only one that had the right to be upset would have been my sister, not my niece.
Opposing points:
• I should have made special arrangements to be a part of the celebration.
• This was a 25th Anniversary a very memorable day which, comes only one time.
• How could I have been so selfish and not come.
Refutation:
I can understand the fact that my niece felt hurt because I was not there. I would have loved to share this day with my sister and the family, but I was a brand new employee at the time and could not be absent or even ask to leave early. The thought of anyone assuming or thinking that I would purposely not show up is preposterous. My sister understood and knew that I would not be there the same day that she invited me.
My father was an alcoholic and we use to have arguments about it worst he didn’t even have a job. What pissed me off the most was when he would bring up me not working or giving money to help out. One day I was on my computer playing online with some friends and my father came home drunk. I wasn’t bothered until he unplugged my computer telling me to start working because I don’t pay the electric bill. So I told him “but it’s okay for you to spend money on alcohol”. I had a job and the only reason I didn’t give him money was because I didn’t want him spending it
ReplyDeleteWhy attack me when he spends all his money on alcohol. (Thesis)
Three Points to support my position:
•I don’t go out spending my money when I have bills and responsibility.
•He mostly targets at me when my other brothers don’t pay a dime yet get in trouble more then me.
•The computer was mine I pay for my own stuff and he can’t just take it away from me.
Opposition:
•I understand that he drinks to enjoy and push himself away from all the responsibility he has.
•My brothers get A’s in school so I can see why they don’t ask anything from them.
•He is head of the house hold so basically I have to go by his rules.
Conflict: At my house I’m the only one who cleans in the house and I live with my parent’s and my little sister. Most of the time I’m home because either I’m at school, and right after school I go to work, or the gym. When I do have a day off and make plans, I have to deal with cleaning my house before I leave anywhere because any other days I don‘t have time. I tell my parent’s all the time it’s not fair and we should split chores including my little sister who is 11 years old.
ReplyDeleteMy parents reasons:
-My little sister is too young to clean.
-Mostly my sister and I make the mess.
-It’s a good way of learning and knowing how to keep things in order, to clean after myself and help around when is needed.
-I don’t pay bills or rent.
My reasons:
-My sister is not a baby she’s old enough can help out with some small things, they need to stop treating her like she can’t do anything ,it’ll make her lazy later on and she makes most of the mess.
-My parent’s do work but if I can go to school, work and other things than they can help around too.
-I don’t pay bills or rent but there’s going to be a point were they are going to depend on me and ill be there to help them.
-I deserve to enjoy days on my days off and not worry about chores on me all the time, I deserve some help.
Reason why they might be right:
-They’re old and they do worry probably more things than I do.
-Even though I do work, they don’t make pay bills or rent yet.
-It helps me be a cleaner person and maybe when I have my own place it’ll be clean all the time since I’ll be use to keeping things clean.
-As the oldest, they should depend more on me.
Refutation:
Even though I am the oldest and I should help around don’t mean I’m the on who has to clean all the time. If we split, it won’t feel as much for anybody. Everyone makes a mess somehow, if its either cooking, using the bathroom, eating at the table, dirtying the floor.
My husband parents always criticize the way we educate our kids. For example, we invite them to have dinner in our house. At first, everything is normal, good conversation, but few minutes later they start telling us how to discipline our kids. We don’t allow them to jump in the sofas, because they can get heart and sofas are to sit down, no to jump. We don’t let them to draw the walls, run in the house etc.
ReplyDeleteIt is our responsibility how we educate our children’s.
Our reasons:
• They need to learn at home to behave well.
• They have to listen when we say NO.
• They have to be clean and take care of their house
Their reasons:
• They are just kids, they don’t understand yet
• We don’t allow them to be kids
• We want them to act and think as adults
Our kids are very happy, we play with them, draw together on paper, we sing, play instruments, and watch TV, read books and if they want to run or jump, we take them to the back yard in Spring, Summer and Fall, and in Winter we take them to indoors play grounds. We have rules at home and they need to follow them all the time. They are very active and happy kids. The most important part is that I believe kids understand more than we think. They are very smart. I love my in-laws, but they need to respect our decisions.
North Hudson Community Action Corporation is a health group that provides health and dental service to the community uninsured, with low income, that are supposed to provide good health care service regardless patients status.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I visit my primary doctor at the clinic, I have to spend more than three hours for a 15 minutes interview, or when I need to make an appointment more than four weeks to get it, and this is just because is a clinic for people with no insurance or low income status, is not fair how they make us wait for their service.
• Even though is less what I pay, I deserve a better service.
• I have to go thru the same process too to get exam’s results.
• Emergencies patients’ appointments are subject to space availability.
Opposite opinion
• They provide a complete service.
• They have good resources.
• Employees are quality to give a good service.
Refute
• Complete service that is not worth to wait because the good resources they provide are poor quality.
• Good resources that they don’t know how to use or improve.
• Poor quality of service from employees because they treat patients as if they were not people with needs looking for help.
my mother has a car and most of the time she does not like to lend me the car. Its always a problem when i need to use it. Even if its very important. she still wont lend me the car.
ReplyDeleteher reason: *she thinks i am irresponsible

*i have never got a ticket

*she is scared that i will get in to a accident
*i never put gas in the car

1. The arguments I tend to get into a lot is about who’s a better basketball player Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan?
ReplyDelete2. Is Kobe Bryant a better basketball player then Michael Jordan is? Of course not, Michael Jordan will go down as the best to ever do it. Kobe Bryant falls one ring short then MJ does.
3. There are the Kobe-lovers and Jordan-lovers, and it’s fun to talk about which player is really better. There is no doubt. Michael Jordan was the better player, with the better stats, and the greater achievements.
4. Despite what the Kobe-lovers may think about such a seemingly one-sided statement, we need only look at offensive output and defensive output by career and individual season to see that MJ gets the nod.
5. Just because in 2008 we are able to witness Kobe's amazing athletic feats live on HD flat screens everywhere, it doesn't mean that Kobe compares favorably to MJ simply because many younger fans never saw Jordan play live.
6. Whether we're looking at scoring, assists, or offensive rebounds by career or overall best season MJ has the advantage. On the defensive side whether looking at steals, blocked shots or rebounds by career or overall best season Jordan is the man.
