Should athletes be allowed to play contact sports after suffering a concussion? I think that after they get a second concussion they should not be able to play because several professional football players have committed suicide. Autopsy results revealed brain damage. I also think that they should absolutely make sure that the concussion is completely gone before they return on the field. Research says that 31% of athletes with concussions are rushed back onto the field after injury. I also think that concussions are very harmful and a study has shown that football players who have suffered three or more concussions have a tripled risk of depression.
" I'm fortunate to have found out early, in 1990, just two years after I retired, that I have neurological damage. I try to manage it. I know what can trigger headaches and try to avoid it. I have short term memory problems, so I make a special effort to remember people and names. I have to work harder, but it's important."

Summer and Winter
Compare and Contrast: Winter and Summer
Winter has cold temperatures. There is snow, ice, and sleet in most winters.The activities/sports that you can do in the winter is ice skate, snow ski, snowmobile, basketball, sledding, make snowmen and have snowball fights. There is also school in the winter.
Summer has warmer temperatures. There is also a lot of thunderstorms and humidity. In the summer there is no school. (unless you are in summer school) In the summer there is softball, swimming going to the beach, riding your bike, and anything that has anything to do with outside.
Something that they both have in common is that they both have sports played in the season. They both also have storms in them, winter has snowstorms and summer has thunderstorms. They are also both seasons and both have sunny days. Another similar thing about the seasons is that you can four wheel in them, meaning you can four wheel on the grass in the summer and on the snow in the wintertime.
Persuasion:
Summer is my favorite season and I am here to persuade you into liking it the most too! In the summertime it is almost always has warm days. For kids there is no school so that is always fun too, because you can do fun activities and sports without worrying that it is a school night. In the summer there are sports that include softball, swimming outdoors, and track for a little bit. The activities that you can do in the summer are swimming for fun, going to the beach, tubing and boating, water ski, riding your bike, and do anything that has anything to do with going outside.

If I Were in Charge of the House
If I were in charge of the house, I would make sure that I could do whatever I wanted. I could play on my Ipod and not get yelled at and watch TV for as long as I want. I would definitely remodel the house. I would get expansions done so our house is bigger. Our house would be double story with a basement.
In my room I would put the most comfortable king-sized bed and get it all to myself. I would sleep in for as long as I want and also buy myself a flat screen TV mounted on the wall. In my room would be a high class stereo system. I would have my own bathroom and walk-in closet. My room would be tripled the size that it is now.
I would make my sisters and parents become my servants and get me whatever I want. I would have my mom go to the store and buy me all the food that I love! When I have friends over my parents and sister will make dinner and do all chores.
When I have friends over every weekend we will eat anything we want and not have to worry about my parents and sisters getting mad because we are to loud. My sisters and parents would sleep in a insulated room where you could hear nothing and we couldn't hear them.
Another thing that I would change is that we would have two dogs, one small one for sure. The small one would always be in my room or wherever I go. It would have its own comfortable bed and its own tray of water and food dish.
If only I were in charge of the house.
