Minutes That Matter
By Kristina Waltz
As a teenager, whenever you have gone out with friends or traveled away from home, you've likely been asked to call and check in every once in a while. Most of us probably don't think much about doing so. We may even talk on the phone with friends or family members several times a day. But pretend for a moment that you are a soldier in the military. You have been sent overseas for several months, away from all of your family and friends, in order to serve your country. You might imagine that the ability to call home and talk with your loved ones would be something to look forward to. But what if those phone calls left you with a $7,600 phone bill?
When 14-year-old Brittany Bergquist and her 12-year-old brother Robbie, of Norwell, Massachusetts, saw a news story about a soldier who found himself with just this problem, they decided to help. Robbie recalls, "We were taken aback and wanted to make sure he didn't have to pay that cell phone bill!" They began by raising money. Brittany and Robbie donated 14 dollars of their own savings and collected seven dollars from friends. A local bank heard about what they were doing and donated $500. But $521 was nowhere near the amount needed to help the soldier pay his bill. So Brittany decided to send donated cell phones to the soldiers. This way, they would have their own phone to use when calling home, which would be less expensive. Brittany and Robbie collected as many old cell phones as they could. But there was a problem. Because of security concerns, the Pentagon would not allow the phones to be sent overseas. Brittany and Robbie were determined, so they came up with another idea. They found a cell phone recycler in Michigan who would pay them five dollars for each phone they sent in to be recycled. Using that money, they could buy pre-paid phone cards to send to the troops.
It didn't take long for the Cell Phones for Soldiers program to take off. Today, there are over seven thousand locations to drop off your old cell phone. The program has recycled over ten million phones since it was started in 2004. Over 180 million minutes of talk time have been given to the soldiers, and each week, about twelve thousand calling cards are sent. The Bergquist family still runs the program largely on their own. Brittany says that her involvement with the charity has helped her learn how to build awareness for a cause, and form relationships with companies that can help. Although she admits that she gets nervous when she has to do something that is out of her comfort zone, she has learned that it is important to overcome her fear so that her charity can continue to grow. She says founding Cell Phones for Soldiers "... has been the most positive and motivating experience of my life..." and that, "It's unbelievable and overwhelming to know that we've been able to help out families that we're never going to see; that we've had an impact on their lives."
Answer:
are you wanting me to summarize it?((sorry if i spelt summarize wrong))
Explanation:
they kids understood what it was like to be in debt so they where tiring to help the solder by donating but that didn't work so they kept donating for every phone that was recycled sorry if it's bad or wrong

Nothing, it's fine as is, is missing from the following thesis statement. As Scott Fitzgerald's novel, The Great Gatsby, explores the depths of a man of questionable integrity. Hence, option A is correct.
What is the concept of the passage?The American Dream is unquestionably one of the many dreams that The Great Gatsby suggests. Another significant and provocative theme in the book is the demise of the romantic love dream, which fits into the greater framework of the American dream.
The majority of The Great Gatsby seems to be devoted to Gatsby's desire of love, although his love seems to be largely unimportant, irrational, and an impossible ideal. In other words, Gatsby's romantic fantasies represent the demise of romantic love.
Thus, Nothing, it's fine as is, is missing from the following thesis statement.

Correct the four capitalization errors:
In 1787, Delegates convened in philadelphia to draft the Constitution, which describes the roles and reponsiblilites of congress, the President, and the judicial system
Answer:
In 1783, delegates convened in Philadelphia to draft the Constitution, which describes the roles and responsibilities of congress, the President, and the Judicial system.
Explanation:
The sentence after correcting the four capitalization errors is: In 1787, delegates convened in Philadelphia to draft the Constitution, which describes the roles and responsibilities of Congress, the President, and the judicial system.
"philadelphia" should be capitalized as "Philadelphia" since it is a proper noun referring to a specific city.
"reponsiblilites" should be corrected to "responsibilities" with proper spelling.
"congress" should be capitalized as "Congress" since it refers to a specific institution, the United States Congress.
"President" should be capitalized as "president" to maintain consistency in capitalization. However, if it specifically refers to the President of the United States, it should be capitalized as "President." In this case, it is capitalized as "president" since it's not clear if it refers to the U.S. President or a general reference to any president.
By applying these corrections, the sentence is now grammatically accurate and adheres to standard capitalization rules.
