Mary, thank you so much for sharing this! I did my Letters to the Next President on college costs, and some of the numbers that I found during research are just stunning. I think you and your group did an excellent job of making the eye-opening stats easier to see with the chart. The fact that you also added a graph into your infographic is really unique, and I actually haven’t seen any statistics on why people are dropping out before. And college education is essential in today’s world, so thank you for raising awareness to it through your infographic.

Hi Mary,
I totally agree on your views on how deforestation is a major issue in the world. I actually wrote about taking better care of the environment for the Letters to the next President project! I think you did a great job in bringing in key pieces of evidence to support your stance and I also think you did an amazing job with explaining how they support! Great post!

Hi Mary, This is a great I definitely think that Huck has grown from the beginning of the book and he has learned through his journey what wrong and right is. Huck really showed that he has good intention for what he is doing he may not have recieved good morals at a young age but he was truly able to gain them through his journey to freedom.I wouldn’t call this book racist because I think Twain used this book to help teach people a lesson about what it was like during slavery times. The story really shows how young kids even have the thought to help slaves gain freedom and also have a care to understand that slavery is not just. Huck was so young and he was able to cover up lies to help out his friend Jim even though Huck may have not had the easiest time but, I think he was able to do the best he could. If you lived in this time would you be brave enough to help a slave travel to freedom?

I completely agree with all of the points you brought up. Us as human beings should focus more on limiting pollution and becoming a more green world. I really enjoyed your take on environmental progression and how we can reduce electricity use and pollution. Another suggestion is the use of electric cars. Anyways, nice piece!

I really agree with what you have written about the deterioration of our environment, as well as how it is being abused by humans. We really do need to do something about this. I would like to hear more from you, hear about how it ties to your personal experience, as that is what This I Believe is intended to be about.

Hi Mary! Your article raises a very true fact. The world needs bees and animals so that nature’s cycle (flower->bee pollinates flower-> flower serves as food to other animals) is very important for humans to stay alive and be able to have the variety off foods and plants that we have.

Mary,
I thought your post was interesting. I agree there seems to be many different causes of global warming. Your theory of the drastic changes on earth seems to be a probable cause.

Hi mary! I completely agree with your piece 100%. By destroying the earth, we’re destroying ourselves too. It’s a very real thing and many people don’t understand that. Can’t wait to hear more from you!

I love the points you brought up about the book. Good job keeping up with this challenging read.

I agree only 3.1 of the ocean is being saved which is not right! I think people need to stop throwing trash in the ocean and oil and killing the sea creatures for food. Start thinking the ocean is your home and your people. Would you wanna destroy your house?😊😩

Hi Mary! I agree fully heartedly! I also made a L2P about environmental issues and I agree on everything you’re saying.
