We've covered a variety of stories this week about heroes - and different kinds of them.  On Tuesday, you learned about a teenager who founded a great cause after losing part of his legs.  On Veterans Day, we paid tribute to all of America's heroes who've served in the Armed Forces.  And on Thursday, you hear about a Pakistani custodian who reportedly sacrificed his life to protect students from a suicide bomber.

To me, all of these stories feature heroes.  How would you define a hero?

Veterans Day is this Wednesday, and I'd like to include some of your words in our special report.  It's okay if you don't personally know someone who's served in the U.S. Armed Forces.  We'd just like to hear what you'd say to thank America's veterans for their service, regardless of when or where they served.

Please tell us here, and then be sure to watch on November 11 to see if your comment appears on CNN Student News!

When I first read Friday's story about Marcus Jordan's Nikes causing contract problems for the University of Central Florida, I wondered what the big deal was.  Can't a student player wear whatever shoes he wants on the court?  Then, I found out that Adidas gave his school uniforms, equipment and shoes - as long as UCF players wore Adidas apparel.  So when Marcus chose to play with UCF, he was probably expected, like the other UCF players, to lace up in Adidas.

It was an unusual choice for him to have:  whether to wear his father's namesake Air Jordans or to wear his school's Adidas-sponsored sneakers.  What choice would you have made?

Let's say you've just rung every doorbell in the neighborhood, gotten enough candy to fill a dump truck, and stumbled home to eat it.  You spill out chocolates and mints and gum and candy corn on the kitchen table, and something shiny catches your eye:  Gleaming among all the brightly colored wrappers is a three-diamond, anniversary ring.  It's as surprising to see as it is beautiful to look at.  Maybe you even try it on to see how it fits.

Then, the next day on the news, you hear about a woman who thinks the ring accidentally slipped off her finger while she was handing out candy.  She's in good spirits, but the ring holds both sentimental and monetary value, and the woman is hoping and praying she gets it back.

Now it's on you:  You know you've got it, and you know it's worth something, and you know who lost it.  What do you do?

The costumes can get really creative, and the parties can be fun.  But there's a time every year when I wish I were younger, and that time is Halloween.  Why?  Because I miss trick-or-treating.

My friends and I would get the biggest pillowcases we could find and then stuff them with candy from every house in every nearby neighborhood.  We'd collect enough to last through Christmas.  Sure, it got stale after a couple weeks, but does that ever stop you from eating it?

Let us know how you spent your Halloween, wherever you spent it!

One thing I've learned while anchoring this show is that y'all like to comment on controversy.  You'll see one of those on Friday in the story about how kids older than five are no longer allowed to use a park in Kensington, Maryland between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

The reasons why are outlined in the report, along with the problems created by the new rule.  Do you see any problems with it?  Or do you think that Kensington should keep the rule in place?

One of the questions I thought of when I first saw this report was, "How is it offering more choices if a school is actually taking meat off the Monday menu?"  And my guess is that doing so will increase awareness about vegetarian options – and that students are going to get more of those on Mondays.

There's no denying that corn, green beans and fruits are good for you, and the vegetarian chili that the school is offering definitely has protein.  But so do beef, pork and poultry, and there's an argument to be made for always including meats too.

Tell us what your argument is:  Would you be willing to go vegetarian at school one day a week, or do you think meat should always be on the menu?

If I want to blog, all I have to do is log in, write down my thoughts, click spell check, and publish.  And you're free to read this entry and countless others across the Internet.

But it's a different story in Cuba.  Access to Yoani Sanchez's blog is blocked there, and even though she has a journalism prize waiting for her in the U.S., Cuba's Communist government will not allow her to travel here to accept it.

This story reminds me of a string of freedoms we have that Cuba's residents don't:  freedom of speech, freedom of the press...  Which freedoms do you think we take for granted the most?

"What about my insurance?"  "What about a growing government?"  "What if health care reform doesn't actually do what it's intended to do?"  These are some of the questions Americans are asking about the health care issue, and you hear them explained on Thursday's show.  What we'd like to find out is what questions you have about health care - whether it's how the system works, what reform means, etc.  What are your questions about this top story?

That's the subject of Friday's last segment, and while the word "whatever" doesn't really bother me too much, "it is what it is" drives me up a wall.  "My bad" used to bug me a lot, too.

Our producer hates the line "Who let the dogs out?" though I think it's pretty funny.  When growing up, a lot of my friends dreaded the words "Wait 'til your father gets home."

And back in high school, I think everyone hated "Let's just be friends" – except the person saying it.

Tell us what phrases annoy you.
