text: Students, parents, grandparents, teachers and especially principals, need to show kids what they are capable of doing and how important it is for them, their schools and for others that will look at you and your steps and examples. This is why I think principals should have a no lower than a B average for sports and activities. Students will have responsibility, raise their grades up, and have their schools appreciated by the high education and grades they get.      I believe that the author did supprt the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. In the story the author talks about many ways we could overcome the risky challenges that Venus has and what could happen if something does go bad. The author also gives good points on how Venus could be a nearest option for a planetary visit. Also how its often referred to as Earth's "Twin", and how Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size.
