1. The northwest passage has the best cover(the first one)
2. The trigger point paper because the sub title on the front page is talking About women participation in male dominate classes
3.there was one with the headline "let me speak" and that grabbed my attention because I want to know what she's talking about
4.my favorite paper has no stories

My Story, based on her story

Claire Caudill, she's great student at McCallum  High school  ready for the future.  Everyone teacher is great flu to have her in their class.  Its the beginning of the year and she on the freshman volleyball team. Team captain in fact. She was the MVP as many would say.  But her grades were slippingThe first 6 weeks for any new coming freshman is a challenge, and they all should deb focusing on school. But for Claire Caudill this was really hard.

Volleyball is currently her main focus. This shouldn't be the case, she should be able to focus on both school and volleyball. Her teachers want to help her my not forcing her to go to practice if she is drowned in homework. Caudill said " I love going to study hall because it helps my stress level go down." This after being given a few study hall priors Caudill was able to get her grades up and her volleyball skills as well. Both the coaches and her teachers were very happy about this given that they had a stress free student and volleyball player. " I am very happy to be playing to my full potential, while preforming well in my classes" Caudill said " its a great balance that I would love to maintain." This is a great reason for why Student Athletes should have a little break every now and then in order to be the best they can.

 this is about hope solo

current event quiz

1.New details show that she was sexually assaulted and strangled. The Forensic scientist were the ones that found out all the details but remained unnamed because the investigation was still going on. This information was provided because it causes suspicion. Well this story has so much attention because she was a young girl going to college and in the city of austin.
2. Hired.com is inequity because 69% of the time men receive higher salary then women. Hired.com helps connect tech employers with job seekers and they have access to salary's and job candidates. Well this could happen because women set there salary lower them men do. I think that it was promoting hired.com way to much, when I first opened this article that's all I saw because it was in blue.
3.The governor changed the part of the law that says, you can protest if someone is discriminating against you in the work place. ACLU criticized his order, because it was bad. PayPal said it would abandon plans for local operation center in the state.   
4.They have been studying the number of suicide bombers. 75% of the children used are girls, many have been assumed to be victims or perpetrators. CHILDREN ARE DYING. They don't want to use the term "suicide" attack because these children are going against there will, they aren't going out to kill them selves. Boko Haram is a terrorist group in Nigeria. a-Qaida  attacks everything while others attack easier places. The main motivation has been that there is a lot of money factor.
5.I read the story about a SUV driving into someones home, this story was about a man in a black SUV and the police were following him the whole night. K9 units would then began to search the house and they would also have helicopters looking for him. This man is trash and I don't understand why he drove into someones home.
6. This story is different because it was numbered and each paragraph is about something different. Nothing was interesting because this story sucked. I could write a better one! If the piece needed to be shorted I would just cut the whole thing out and keep the title.

My best day in sports rough draft

My best day in sports was when my Kealing middle school team beat the Lamar middle school team for the district championship in volleyball.. Earlier in the volleyball season we were undefeated, until we played the Lamar Scotties. It was a close game that went to a heated three sets. But sadly we lost 25-20, 23-25 and 10-15. Of course this was devastating to me because I had two best friends on the team, and no one likes loosing to there friends. When it came to the end of our 8th grade volleyball season, or the playoffs. We were matched up against lamar. The pre-game trash talk was over the top, the Lamar girls thought they had us beat from the get go. But little did they know we were back for vengeance. Before the game we all got in a close huddle feeling the nervous energy throughout. We took a few deep breaths, with our hand up in the air LADY HORNETS ON THREE, ONE... TWO... THREE, LADY HORNETS. The game began. I was first up to serve. The whistle blows. I can feel the pressure. I ace the ball, landing straight on the floor with two looking as it falls. We all jumped with excitement and thats when I knew this game was going to be a good one. With a great few rallys, Kealing will then win in the first set 25-20. All we needed to do was pull of the next set and we would be the district champs. The second set was heated and even closer then the first. The score 20-20, kealing knows that these next points are crucial. The ball is being served over from the lamar side, everyones low and ready to pass it up. But it goes straight into the net. We all cheer. We then went on to get Kill after kill winning 25-21. We were all ecstatic to have won, we run in the middle of the court to have a huge group hug. After shaking the Lamar girls hands, we got to hold the district champs plaque. When I grabbed that plaque I felt a rush go over me, in the way that I knew when you try your best good things come out of it.  And that was my best day in sports.
