Valentine's day is a day you can celebrate not only with your significant other but with your family, that's why the article that most appealed the history of valentines day isn’t that romantic ” by Taysha Murtaugh and Rebekah Lowin. The article starts off by backing up my claim in saying “Valentine's Day means different things to different people “.The first sentence in the article I can relate to because Valentine's day hasn’t ever really meant anything to me its really just been another day in the year. I do like seeing others celebrate and be happy, the article also talks about the history good and bad for instance it talked about men beating women with whips “ a ritual of naked men beating women with whips “ is not something you want to hear when it comes to valentines day.  On the other hand, it talked about other traditions in different countries which I liked, they stated that February 14th is the first day of spring in great Britain.Other articles like “ the dark origin of valentines day” talked about   ancient Rome and things dating back to the 1400s , things that didn’t really appeal to me. Valentine's day is supposed to be special for whoever wants it to special it shouldn’t have to be something forced upon you by others. The article by Taysha Murtaugh caught my eye because it related to me a lot I don’t really care about Valentine's day or any other holiday for that matter they’re just regular days made up by people who were probably bored. People had lived without them before. The article was a great article and i actually enjoyed reading it the others just threw just talked about stuff i didn’t really care for and i didn’t have the enthusiasm to continue to read it and they bored me out. Like i said before valentines day should be for whoever wants it even if you don’t  have a significant other you can buy something for your mom or dad just to make them happy or don’t buy anything at all of thats the type of person you are that’s what the article showed me .

    Good writing but there's just a lot of grammatical mistakes

why less than 1/3 of students who start out at public colleges will graduate within 6 years

When it comes to college most people don't graduate. Actually, only 33% of students make it to the ultimate goal - graduation. I feel like some people have problems at home or financial problems that set them back when it comes to graduating.   Students simply can’t pay or class is just too much and college, in general, is too much for them.  People just get tired of college and feel like it’s a better road to take in life which his understandable. Then again the students less fortunate who do go to college coming from a background with no money that will make them eager to work harder in life and get what they want because they weren’t privileged younger. Meanwhile, kids who have rich parents most of the time will always have money in their life so they won’t take college as serious or won’t even need to go but in certain instances their parents being rich will want to make them strive to be like their parents as well they won’t want to seem like a failure to their pa...
