Thinking About Success

Battle B

In ranking the words: luck, opportunity, skill, and hard work, from most to least importance I think the order should be: hard work, opportunity, skill, luck. Hard work is the most important because, you have to have it, if you have opportunities but do not work hard then you waste your opportunity. If you have skill but do not work hard at your skill , then you waste your skill. If you have luck, that is great, but luck will only get you so far. This is why hard work is the most important, it lays out a good foundation for the opportunities that you come across, skill that you have, and luck that you get.

Fast Fashion Controversy

Battle B

      There have been many different views on fast fashion that have lead to much controversy, for those who do not know what fast fashion is, it is where the consumer gets the look of the latest fashion seen on cat walks, for lower quality, faster, and price. The goal is, because of the fast pace of different items of clothing coming in and out, the costumer feels the need to buy it so they do not waste their opportunity and regret not getting it down the road. However some people compare fast fashion to fast food, addictive but not all together good for you. Zara (the creator of the idea of fast fashion) has gotten in many law suits because they imitate fashion of other designers and selling it for cheap, but what they are doing is completely legal. Some people feel that Zara and other companies like Zara are cheating for being able to dopy another persons idea, changing it a little but, and then selling it for less quality and money and reaping the benefits. Others believe it to be perfectly okay and legal because they make some changes to the clothing, and people want the look for not the high price they should be able to have it.

Fast Fashion

Dear Family,

            I have completed my journey to America and am writing this letter to you all from New York.  There are so many people here, mostly like my self, immigrants; though I am not sure where they are from, they seem friendly. I love it here. The challenges so far have been to find people with my language, the diet change, and finding a job.

            Though there are many who do not speak the same language as me I have found a small group who does, they are very nice and helpful to me and have accepted me very graciously. American food is different then I was expecting and even though it is not as good as yours mom, it is not awful, as far as job the small group that I was talking about has helped me get small job as a clerk, it is not a ton of money but it will work for now.

            Even through some of the hardship I am so happy I decided to make the decision to come to America, I see the true Americans and look at them with such aw, it makes me want to be an American too, at least as much as I can be. I hope the day comes when you all make the journey too so you van enjoy this beautiful country as much as I have, I will try to write to you as much as I can.

                                                            Sincerely,
