 Recently I have had the idea to rewrite some of my old essays/paragraphs into better developed ones to see how much I have changed and grown in the past few years. I will be using the same facts, no more and no less.  Today I decided to rewrite 2 paragraphs I wrote on Michelle Kwan. Original Michelle Kwan was born 1980 in Torrance, California. Her ethic is Chinese and her parents were from Hong Kong. Michelle Kwan started skating at the age of 5 and went to Ice Castle Training Center in Lake Arrowhead in California. She was 18 years old when she went to the Olympics games. Michelle Kwan liked to skate a lot. Updated Michelle Kwan, 1980, was born in Torrance, California (I would add her parent's name here but I didn't include it in my original). Her parents were both from Hong Kong, making her ethnicity Chinese. She started figure skating at the age of 5, and trained at the Ice Castle Training Center, located in Lake Arrowhead, California. Kwan was 18 years old when she attende

                                                    Benefits of Sending Ukraine Weapons The U.S. has provided Ukraine with $3.4 billion in weapons since Russia’s invasion (Macias, 2022).  Some people think that sending Ukraine weapons is a bad idea, as it can cause many dramatic changes to the U.S. and its government.  However, many people think that sending Ukraine weapons can benefit both the Ukrainian and the U.S. government.  The U.S. should be supplying Ukraine with weapons during their war against Russia. One reason why the U.S. should be supplying Ukraine with weapons is to help prevent more deaths/injuries of innocent Ukrainian people and soldiers.  For example,  providing Ukraine with weapons can protect the lives of wholesome and blameless citizens living in targeted cities (Salvanto, Salvanto, and De Pinto, 2022).  Providing weapons to the Ukrainian troops benefits them because the more weapons and armor their troops have, the more likely soldiers are able to protect the

  Well did today go as planned. I mean there were some good moments, but all in all, it wasn't the best. Let me start from the beginning, my name is Yani and I'm 15 - or at least my real name is...my friends call me "yams". My besties, Sadie and Elly, along with this...er guy from my school (I think his names Carter or something..) invited me to go to the Grand Canyon with them. As I was not the one for hiking or even walking long distances, I wanted to refuse, even if my besties were going. "Come on yams, once in a lifetime," Sadie said, and I knew she was right. "I suppose..." I responded, quite reluctantly. "YESSSSSSSS!!," Sadie and Elly cheered, jumping around like little flies trying to aviod the swatter. Sooo, about 30 minutes later, I was in a whole different location, was surrounded by these huge rock thingys, and still had no excitement for what was to come.  "C'mon guys, we're here," Carter had said, covering h

In “Order of the Phoenix”, Harry’s loyalty was really shown, especially since he had to deal with so many people at once (friends, teachers, family, and relationships). He was forced to give everyone of them a “fair share”, not wanting to let any of them down as they are all so close to his heart. His bravery and courage against the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters were also really shown (especially during The Ministry of Magic battle). Harry went through many common teenage behaviors, such as anger at friends, swearing, etc. As for his physical appearance, Harry has his famous, motherly green eyes, messy black hair, is very tall and thin, and has a great resemblance to his father. “Order of the Phoenix” was the time where Sirius and Harry spent the most time together, and created the strong godfather - godson bond they were known to have. Sirius especially felt very privileged when Harry was around, as he was very isolated from the outside world. He was constantly lonely and had no one
