Brains whether problems

Mine and brian's struggles are the same in one way which is the weather. In a book written by Gary Paulsen titled Hatchet, The protagonist Brian robeson Crash lands in the Canadian wilderness on the way to see his dad and finds a cave to build his shelter and makes a fire. Everything seems to be going well until one night in the words of Brain “ It was the wind like the sound of a train, with the low belly roar of a train It was a tornado.” And he also faces multiple storms and a lot of rain and he brushes them all off. Not like me. I'm in Texas where it is very hot no matter the month and there's almost a heat warning everyday because of how hot it is. Preventing me from doing some of the activities that I like to do because it's way too hot outside. I don't taunt mother nature herself. I beg her to just make it a little cooler and not make it so hot in Texas, not like the protagonist of Hatchet Brain saying “Is that all you got?”

Once when I was younger me and my brother snuck outside during a heat wave to play basketball in our driveway because our mom wanted us to stay inside and drink water so that we didn't overheat. I wish we would have listened because by the time she found us outside we were almost passed out.

I've experienced almost every single type of weather there is to offer rain sunny floods snow snow storms. But the only weather I really is when it's cool outside i hate it when it's too hot outside I beg god to make it cooler when its flooding i beg for someone to make it stop or make the rain and fooled go away unlike brain when he faces all sorts of weather I haven't experienced like tornadoes but he mother nature herself saying “Is that all you got!?” unlike me who begs for the horrible weather to stop.

Is It Just an Extra Expense?

Imagen you go to school and you're wearing the same thing as everybody else. It makes you feel a little weird right? Well That's unfortunately the case for most elementary, middle and high schools around the country.

This is why I think that uniforms in school should not be allowed in schools. Students should be able to dress really and express themselves in the way they speak, act and most importantly in the way they dress but schools are stopping students from expressing themselves by telling them to wear certain pants and shirts. Some schools even make their female students wear skirts and make their male students wear ironed pants, a collared shirt and a tie. Schools don't think about students who want to express themselves like maybe a boy wants to wear a skirt and maybe a girl isn't comfortable in a skirt and wants to wear jeans.

School uniforms are also just an extra expense and people like to argue that kids can wear their uniforms outside of school. Trust me we don't wanna wear any clothes that have anything to do with where we go to school. Wearing school uniforms outside of school could potentially put other kids in danger because if you post something on social media wearing your school uniform and someone who wants to hurt you sees it and recognizes it they could come to your school just based on you wearing your school uniform outside of school. Also the school uniforms are not fashionable at all. Kids don't wanna wear them anywhere else except school. Which makes them an extra expense if kids are not going to wear school uniforms outside of school.

It is also a quantity problem because when you buy the school uniform you need 5 school uniforms which makes it 5 times more expensive than it already is. On average the average collared shirt cost 30 dollars and a good quality pair of jeans cost about 40 dollars which ONE Uniform, adds up to 90$ and even if you find a decent pair of jeans for 20 dollars and you find a collared shirt for 15 dollars you are still paying 35 dollars for ONE uniform but both add up quickly if your paying 90 dollars for one uniform and you want to buy 5 for your kid your paying 450$ and if your paying 35 dollars per uniform your paying 175$ witch is still a lot. But you could also only buy 1 but then you would have to do laundry every day so you don't wear dirty clothes and then you stink at school and what if school want you to wear seretent shoes then it would be even more expensive because it would add at least 25 dollars on to already a ridiculous fee of school uniform shirt and pants

Also you have to pay a lot of money if you can even find the clothes you're looking for because a lot of people that live in that area go to the same school as you and have to follow a dress code to so they have to buy those clothes to so you might even have to pay extra because you have to order them online in bulk because all the other kids parents bought all of the collared shirts and the jeans and the cache pants because schools usually have about 550 kids that go to the school and all the other 549 kids need almost the exact same thing that you need to wear causing a mass expense to all the parents and some schools provide school uniforms for kids in need but not nearly enough schools provide them and the schools that do don’t provide enough of these uniforms are provided by schools for the student

Kids are also our future and present so they will one day be our lawyers,doctors,and even the future president they will be a part of the senate. That takes a lot of responsibility so i think we should start giving them freedoms and responsibilities so lets start with letting them dress themselves.
