I may be highly opinionated, but at least I'm right. :-) But seriously, folks, here's some of my best arguments (unless noted otherwise...)
| Title | Time Period | Comments |
| Tragedy of the Commons | college | A very thought-provoking view on how our freedoms may kill us... |
| Quality of Life | college | A journal entry allowing me to delve into the meaning of "quality of life." |
| Writing Workshops | college | My opinion of writing workshops. |
| Lifeboat Ethics | college | The idea in this article was WEIRD, but quite possibly the most thought-provoking I've ever digested. Here's how I responded... |
| Our Ecological Footprint | college | This was a very mentally stimulating book, and here's my response to it. |
| Abstract of Alar Article | College | I've thoroughly researched the Alar pesticide and the "Alar Scare of '89." Check out my research... you may be quite surprised! |
| Genetic Engineering | college | This paper was written for a class which should be called "Pathetic 101" instead of "CSM 101." Therefore, I didn't take the paper seriously, but the subject sure as heck is. |
| Goals for CSM 101 | college | prospective CSM students, read this. Others, why bother? CSM 101 is a joke, but the grade is real. That's why I had to write these pathetic papers. |
| Career Fair Response | college | AFROTC, Engineering, or CSM students should read this. Why? I'm not sure, but apparently CSM 101 had a reason. |
| Celebration of Mines | college | CSM 101 sucked, but I did like this "fair." It was really neat, unlike the paper I wrote about it... |
| Interview with Pops | college | I took the easy way out on this CSM 101 assignment - whether I say so or not in the paper! |
| Interview with Mark | college | I'm not sure why any of these CSM 101 assignments are under "opinion," but why stop now? |
| Options Showcase | college | Another MUST read for prospective CSM students. This is the last CSM 101 paper... I PROMISE. |
| Letter to Congressman | 12th Grade | I've provided this sample to the few people I've met who agree with me regarding school prayer. It's a simple letter to a congressman. Just for ideas. |
| Mock Senate Amendment | 12th Grade | When we ran a mock senate in AP Government my senior year, I came up with and submitted this amendment. |
| Promise Keepers | 12th Grade | I'm a Promise Keeper, along with my dad, and here's a few thoughts regarding our organization and our opposition. |
| Driving Drunk | 12th Grade | I wrote this for driver's ed, so don't expect a masterpiece. But hey - don't do it. |
| Memory Abuse | 12th Grade | I love this essay! I wrote it for my school newspaper in VA, and I probably ticked off the entire english department off. But I was fed up. Come to think about it, I'm surprised that they let me graduate. |
| Response to "12 Leadership Traits" | 12th Grade | Warning: this was written at a time when I should have been in bed for a long time. I'm basically debating why "wisdom" is more important than "knowledge." Makes ya kind of wonder why I'm at an engineering school instead of a liberal arts one, eh? |
| Liberal vs. Conservative | 12th Grade | Should be titled: Stop Name Calling, America! It Doesn't Make Sense!" |
| Let America Pray! | 11th Grade | I've always felt religiously persecuted by my peers and others, but when it started coming from my own government in "the land of the free," I had to raise my voice. |
| Moms | 10th Grade | I have to dedicate this piece to my mom. No matter how much my 10th grade teacher (also a mom) hated it. |
| Earth Day Essay | 9th Grade | I wrote this in the 9th grade, so quite literally it IS old-school. If anybody bothers reading it, let me know what it says, cuz I haven't even bothered in the last 5 years. |
