    1) Chance's million dollar donation most likely influenced other companies to do the same because he is a big face in music right now and he went out of his way to give some of his money back to his community.
    2) This school year, I'm going to make sure I get to school on time and hand in my work on time so I can successfully raise my average and be in the ARISTA program.
    3) I most definitely will not be showing my face in the school building during the summer again unless I have to take a regents or work in the school building. I missed out on a job opportunity and was unable to go places because I had school or was working on the project.
    4) I suggest that the freshman do what they need to do and get out. Freshman year is not too hard, so do all of your work to get your average as high as possible and build a stable foundation just in case you start to slack off a little bit the next year.
