High blood pressure, or Hypertension, is very common especially in adults. It has no symptoms unless blood levels are life-threatningly high. Symptoms include headaches and nosebleeds, though these are very rare. Getting your blood pressure checked regularly is a good way of preventing and controlling this illness but, there are better ways of doing this such as eating home cooked meals instead of McDonalds' every day. Home economics classes would teach us that and more. We would learn how to make sure our houses stay clean and how to buy a house with a mortgage, if we could afford it. A home economics class would make sure every high school student left with a sense of confidence knowing what is necessary to survive in a modern day economy, something that most high school graduates don't feel when they leave. There you go. One paragraph down, about three to go!

Hi Dad,
Thank you for thinking of getting me such nice presents! I know how hard you and mom work so it means a lot to me. It is hard to decide because I know if I picked the Playstation, my brother could also use it. The problem is though that I need a new laptop for school. So, I will choose the laptop. We can all use it also. Thank you again for such a wonderful present!
Love,
Me
