Before:66675026543000After:*Boko Haram: First Girl to be found from 276 Kidnapped Chibok Girls04826000The news about Boko Haram and the Chibok schoolgirls that had been abducted from a school in Nigeria from April 14, 2014 resurfaced with hope for parents of finding their daughters. The 19 year old Amina Ali Nkeki was the very first of those girls to be found on May 17, two years after they were kidnapped. She was found with a four-month old baby with a man wandering around in the suspected terrorist group's stronghold, the Sambisa Forest, searching for help. The man found was an assumed Boko Haram fighter who is believed to be her husband by forced marriage. Nkeki was taken to be reunited with her mother after she was found.The empowering for the female youth and human rights campaign such as the “#BringBackOurGirls” from 2014 has more faith now in bringing back and finding the rest of the 200 plus kidnapped Chibok girls. Nkeki was brought to the president and was also given the treatment she needs after the traumatic turn of events. She is said to be able to go back to school again. There are solutions that have been used to free the girls but in the end the terrorists had already planned what is to come for the girls. They were separated and taken to different places and treated poorly and unfairly. This story shows how the rights of the girls are violated and keeps the other countries aware of these events. Showing that after two years there is progress in finding the whereabouts of some of the girls gives hope and faith for their loved ones and shows that the president is not ignoring or giving up on this case. This article has given me a lot of updates on what have been done on the problem and the different actions that were done to solve it. I saw this article in Yahoo when I was looking at the news. This interests me because of the research I have done on the topic during the extra-curricular activities that I joined at school (Mock UN). This keeps me aware of the happenings around the world and how this type of situation can be prevented in the future informing people about these terrorist groups such as Boko Haram.

It will keep you stay safe from any illness or disease because healthy food helps your body fight any these diseases with the vitamins and nutrients that the body needs. Looking out for our own health is a responsibility given to us and it is our duty to maintain it. Some people choose to live a different lifestyle because of their own belief. They do not want others to interfere or command how to live in a way that the others think they should because everyone has the freedom of expression. Some people would rather spend their time on the sofa or plan an outing for an instance rather than exercise.I believe that everyone has a different lifestyle and it is necessary as long as they watch out for their health. Exercising is helpful in several ways; keeping us healthy and fit. There is nothing wrong with lazing around but discipline is also important. Therefore, the people should be open for suggestions and try something new once in a while. *The Point of View of a Runaway AstronautThis piece of writing demonstrates the creativity in writing and telling a story of the character based on a picture shown on the Fe B book. -952562611000Before:After:The Point of View of a Runaway AstronautOn this very starry night I am on my way to a construction site where my crew and I are digging up the moon grounds to see possible signs of life forms underground. I’m feeling kind of overwhelmed since it has been almost 2 earth weeks and a day on the moon is approximately 27.3 days on earth. Imagine how long that is farther away from my family. Tonight I am heading to the site to help with the digging and it’s been quite incredible discovering different things about this place and the differences it has from Earth. As a brief introduction, my name is Luke Comillon and I am from Ohio which explains the USA flag on my space suit. I am happily married to my beautiful wife, Athena, and we have a seven year-old son named Tyler. Knowing they are safe and in the hands of my parents is enough to keep me sane and have faith and motivation to continue what I have started.How I ended up in another planet without the consent or the knowledge of my wife is a really long story. I understand that relationships are based on trust and without honesty and trust quarrels will start inside the house but I was called for this mission. It has been my dream since I was young to be able to explore space and fly to the moon which is why I trained to be an astronaut. I saw this as an opportunity to fulfill my dream and if it’s possible, next time I will be able to share this experience with them.Three Examples of Course Work*Star SignThis paper shows how I have struggled and had difficulties in putting the idea into proper paper and shows continuous improvement.Before:-914400654050001st draft: 2nd draft:-18161074231500After:Topic: Does your star sign affect your character?Star signs are given different symbols, meanings and the people are given their star sign for the months they were born. Star signs give the meaning of the character of a person through horoscopes which hold predictions for a possible personality and relationships a person may have depending on their signs. They have given people inspiration by making them feel different emotions such as boosting their confidence or giving them hope for destiny, fate and infinity but it also destroys expectations. Living by these star sign rules can prevent a person from exploring their own identity and finding their own character which makes a person unique and different. When a person lives by their star sign, they tend be dependent and they rely on what is written online daily about their expected characteristics (horoscopes). Sometimes there are predictions that will not satisfy the people which might cause the sudden mood swings or change in behavior of a person. This change of attitude or behavior can hurt the feelings of other people surrounding them. Consequently, star signs can give people a sense of direction, different experiences and different emotions such as being loved. However, the people who choose to live by these star signs will not learn to face and create their own future. They will not be able to let themselves make their own decisions but they will be able to learn from their mistakes and grow wiser making them open for new opportunities.*Memory as a Dream This piece is included because it shows my level of writing in describing using my memory about the main topic. Remembering certain dreams can be difficult to fully describe the background and surroundings.Before:65659038735000After:When I was a young girl of age between five to six, I had dreamt of one dream for several nights. I had tit on nights when I slept for more than eight hours or when I went to sleep with a certain mood such as being mad, sad or happy. This is how it went. On a very bright day, I saw my uncle leaving our house which looked different from how it looked when I was young, but the funny thing is how our house looked or transformed throughout the years is how it looked like in the dream. The sky was as blue as a clear sea and the breeze of the wind was blowing in my face. It was calm and it made me feel like I was young again. The grass was swaying in sync with the insects that are crawling on the earth grounds.I called to my uncle, “UYEY!” His name is Regalado or Rey for short, and tito stands for uncle. As a young kid, I was still unable to properly pronounce words. He turned around and asked me what I was doing outside and I told him how I saw him leaving and I wanted to come with him. He called me to come to him and he escorted me home to ask for permission to take me with him. We walked out of the house and headed to our destination. I remembered this moment as my memory and it gave me a familiar warm feeling of how close I was with my uncle and how much he loved taking care of me when I was small before he passed away. The question is “Why are these memories playing as my dreams?”*May 6, 2016 Vocabulary-809625109537500This shows the level of vocabulary I have in the English language and how I can understand and turn these words in forms of complex sentences. 295275045402500Notes This is included in the portfolio to show structure and description of different parts of the essay.

It shows my opinions and how I reason it with some facts from the resources. Theft is the action of stealing and is a crime which is caused by many reasons but corruption in the Philippines is a major one because it causes poverty and poor education. Corruption increases poverty by reducing the amount of money for citizens and their opportunity to have jobs. However, a poorly educated person lacks the qualities required for a job. When these people cannot find a stable job, they feel as though that they are not protected by the laws, therefore they feel the need to make a living by rebelling against these laws.In the Philippines, corruption is common inside the political industry. Politicians are responsible for supporting people who do not have the privilege to a good life, but because of greediness, educated politicians are put in a place where they lose self-control and commit crimes such as corruption (fraud) or bribery. This type of person wants fame, power or money to have a better life so they will steal from the funds of projects beneficial to the citizens and the development of the country itself. Living in poverty and having weak morals causes the children of the generation to be unable to get the education they need, which leads to them being unqualified for a specific job due to their lack of experience and good reputation. They are not aware of the appropriate etiquette. They are not able to support their needs if they cannot find a job. These jobs are supposed to be made using the funds from the president and when the government cannot provide this, the citizens feel as though they have no other option but use stealing to make an earning. Poverty will decrease and their children will be given the access to education. This will give them a stronger moral sense and opportunity to explore not only experiences of jobs in the country but also in other parts of the world.Some of these people will look for opportunities in other countries, whereas others will turn against the law because crime is an easier choice for living and they can earn more with these method but they will face consequences.
