Why is Jackie Robinson a "Hero"? By Bernice Chong (Examples are from the movie "42" (2013)

 In the film 42,   Jackie Robinson is a hero because he receives a notification. The second thing that Jackie Robinson did to become a hero was he succeeded in his goal. He succeeded in his task, by making goals for his baseball career. He also became a hero because he returns home as a winner to a celebration.     The first reason is that Jackie Robinson became a hero is that he receives vocations. Like for example in the film 42 , he received a vocation to try out for the “ Brooklyn Dodgers .” It is very important for Jackie because he was the first African American man to try to do this kind of baseball thing.    The second reason is that Jackie Robinson succeeded in his goal because he controlled his baseball team: “ The Brooklyn Dodgers” to win. Another example from the film 42 is that Jackie Robinson broke down discrimination against white people and black people. This reason causes other African American players to join the MLB....

Bernice`s speech: what does it mean to be healthy?

    My personal definition of being healthy means eating healthy foods, getting enough sleep, reducing anxiety, and doing exercise. First, I think it is important to eat healthy foods. According to "CSEP", they say that teens between the ages of 14 - 17 should sleep around 8 - 10 hours each night. When you sleep, your body can grow and you need some rest. When you sleep, you maintain good health. When you get good sleep, you decrease the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other diseases. Sleep helps to mend your heart. If you do not have good sleep, you might increase the risk of heart diseases, stroke, and other diseases. Or, sometimes you have thinking issues if you can`t sleep or you cannot focus. It is important for me to eat healthy foods because according to "Canada`s Food Guide," you have to eat a balanced meal and you cannot eat too many salty foods like chips and French fries from "Mcdonald's." You could eat balanced meals like fruits and vege...
