Examples of student in a Sentence

  1. Phil Murphy:

    No student should have to needlessly choose between his or her identity playing sports.

  2. Heather Daenitz:

    I don't ever regret getting my degree. But I think it's really frustrating that the only option for me to get it was to take out student loans.

AsSan Francisco’s top prosecutor between 2004 and 2010, her office handled more than 1,900 marijuana convictions. Even if this makes sense legally or practically to Biden, he runs the risk as being seen again as ignoring the broader and deeper concerns surrounding violent crime surges and an inescapably devastating economic picture.

It must cover many more Americans during this crisis, including Americans who have non-traditional employment. And it must provide more generous benefits. Workers who are laid off should receive a paycheck equal to what they were receiving while employed. Workers must be protected whether they work for businesses small, medium or large. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats have also proposed including additional $ 200 per month of Social Security benefits for recipients, as well as to suspend all student loan payments throughout the entirety of the national emergency. President Trump, on Friday, announced that he would suspend all federal student loan payments, penalty and interest free, for at least the next 60 days. Despite the disagreements from GOP senators, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Senate Democrats are.
