Are quinceañeras an event that should be celebrated by anyone?
As we all know quinceañeras are a celebration in Hispanic culture of the transition of a girl to a women. For many girls, a quinceañera is a dream come true. It is a very special part of Hispanic tradition.
The year before their 15th, girls and their families make all the preparations, reserve a church, and buy the dress. But not everybody celebrates a quinceañera. Some girls obviously would prefer a car or a trip. Aside from hispanic cultures, other cultures celebrate what is called the Sweet 16 . In my opinion, I believe a quinceañera should be celebrated by anyone, because it does not matter if you’re hispanic or not. In order to do a 15, the girl needs to know the way she would like to do her quinceañera. Some girls would not like to have a religious mass and would just want the party . Others would like some exotic colors or really weird themes, but that should not stop anyone from celebrating a quinceañera. Each girl is free to do their party however they want, culture and race do not matter.

Other opinions
Anonymous:yes because it is the symbolism of a teenage girl transforming into a young adult.
Annie:I think so because the whole point of this tradition was to show how a 15-year-old girl becomes a young woman.
Person: In my opinion, if you were to get everything in a 15 then you should put that money to a trip. It really just depends on the person and what they value and call meaningful to them.

School Uniform vs. No School Uniform
Imagine waking up to get ready for school. Some kids go into their closets and take a huge amount of time picking out their outfit. On the other hand, other kids go into their closet and take 5 minutes picking their outfit because they have a school uniform.
Should we have school uniforms?
In my opinion I think we should not have school uniforms.
If we were allowed to wear whatever we wanted we would have the freedom to express ourselves even more. Admit it, school uniforms are not comfortable and not fashionable at all. Some people argue that we shouldn't have school uniforms because the parents already spend too much money on school supplies. When we wear school uniforms we are uncomfortable and always pulling on it. If we can wear whatever we want, we could be comfortable at school.
