An eaglets beak

When it comes to writing I would consider myself similar to a baby eaglet. An eaglet is a baby eagle and it has to go through a lot while maturing. In order to mature, a baby eaglet must crush its own beak in order for it to grow its new adult beak. This is a long and painful process, just like my writing. The eaglet has to do this in order to survive. However, once this beak is crushed, the new one forms. The eaglet becomes a powerful, magnificent eagle, which is the baddest bird in the sky. Writing for me is similar to this process because I dread every second of it. But when it's all said and done, I feel great because I know what I had to go through to accomplish that paper.

Single-sex schooling provides students with a better learning environment than co-ed school. That's my thesis but I may change it. One of my arguments is that students are less distracted in single-sex schools. I still need to learn more about the studies done on the topic and see where students in a single-sex school stand compared to students in co-ed schools.

Topic for Essay 3

For this essay I chose to write about whether attending a same sex school is beneficial or not. Seeing that I went to Orchard Lake St. Mary's, an all boys school, I feel I can relate to this topic easily. Many of you may disagree but I think attending an all boys school is beneficial for not only me, but for all people who do attend one.
