With one wheel gone wrong, she careens into the checkout line. A perfect shopper, she prides herself on sailing the
coupons, buying in bulk. Her basket is overflowing with catnip and kitty litter, Pull-ups and pomegranates-plenty of all. She takes a
magazine out of the rack; there's a spot to scratch, an offer she
can't resist-"Got an itch you can't identify, don't know what you want, let
this be your moment." The background photo is of a beautiful house with everything just as you would want it to be-untouched by reality.
She scratches; her finger is quickly coated with gold powder and under that is something a little sticky-tugging at her. It is as though she is
being pulled into the magazine. A sudden burst of light, an explosion of inspiration, a fleeting illumination, and she is inside the picture and
it is clear-this is her house, this is who she is, the life she is supposed to live.
It is incredible-she's seeing not only the future but the pathway there-and it's a new kind of floor tile--you just put one foot in front of
the other, don't stop, and watch where you're going. And then, as though in a faraway dream, she hears the scanner beeping, she hears the
checker say, "Are you taking that magazine?" Drawing a deep breath, she pulls herself back into the checkout line. She takes every copy of
the magazine out of the rack. "I'll take all you've got," she says.
"Paper or plastic?"

Use “athletes” as your topic to create one statement reflecting intrinsic motivation and one statement reflecting extrinsic motivation.

ANSWER: Student answerers will vary. Intrinsic statements should reflect the wants and desires of the athlete. Extrinsic statements should reflect the wants and expectations of outside influences. Examples: Intrinsic - Sarah practices basketball everyday because she wants to make the basketball team. Extrinsic - Michael plays baseball because that is what every boy in his family has played.

Read this excerpt from President Franklin Roosevelt’s speech following Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. Which two parts show the president’s confidence that the United States will win the war against Japan?
The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our Nation. As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. But always will our whole Nation remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger. With confidence in our armed forces—with the unbounding determination of our people—we will gain the inevitable triumph- so help us God.

Picture this: It's Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there's lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore. There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your
vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel"
experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a
difference.
[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will
spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the
voluntourist..encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."
[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however,
participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from
local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small
minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's
eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.
[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your
town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with
those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In tact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is Improved, and rates or depression are reduced (Michaels).
[5] There is
another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the
world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to
have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn trom the locals how you can best help them
after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.
[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial
experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships.
Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship
into your vacation.
