Student Goals

The first thing that I learned about being a highschool student is that this is an entire different level of intensity. Middle school was easy compared to the first semester I have had. The second thing that I learned is that time is more valuable to me at this point in my life. This mainly has to do with the fact that I have twice the amount of work that I had in middle school. The final thing that I have learned is that I have a lot more freedom than before.

This year I am hoping to buckle down and finally be able to get my work done quickly and properly. Another one of my goals is to improve my grades. Without going into too much detail, I think my grades could be better.

The article which is titled America's gun problem, explained , attempts to give a large number of statistics and then links these "facts" together to form a statement (I will come to this statement later). There is also a video from Vox that accompanies the article, and I will include all of the facts and statements that they make there into this blog. The first claim that Vox makes is that America's gun problem is completely unique compared to the rest of the developed world. They do this by comparing homicide rates between countries (in the article) and by comparing mass shooting occurrences between countries (in the video). After this claim, they then go on to claim that more guns means more death. They even show an entire chart of all of the states and shows that a larger percentage of legal gun owner...
