The Weather

Cold weather, to me, is way better than being hot because when it is hot there is really no way to cool yourself down without air conditioning or swiming. However, when it is cold out there are tons of ways to stay warm. So the cold weather doesn't bother me.

My Education: What Do I Want to Learn About?

My education from kindergarten to now has been mostly robotic. Lecture--notes--discussion--classwork--homework--project--repeat; give or take a classwork assignment.

For most kids school is never really something that they want to do it's more something they have to do. I am one of those oddball kids that enjoys learning and going to school. However, going to certain classes is a job in itself, history and English are subjects that I have never really been in to and the way that the schools teach it don't make it easier. When a class bores me my grades tend to drop.

Foreclosure: What Was Left Behind

Foreclosure is a big issue that has grasped the attention of everyone in America. People being tragically forced out of there homes, families having to abandon their childhood home full of secret memories. 



 

 "Mommy, Daddy, I forgot Mr. Teddy. Can we go back to get him?" Choking back tears of rage and regret,"Sorry honey we can't go back." "But why?" say the little girl as she begins to cry. "Just forget the bear, we will get you a new one!" the mother says in a tone so harsh it's almost like she is blaming her child, as the dad stays in a shameful scilence. The car stays stunded into peace, the parents can't keep their tears back. They look at eachother and see in oneanothers eyes that everything is going to be just fine.

Tyler Clementi

Tyler Clementi was an average college student, until his roommate, Dharun Ravi, decided to put web cameras up in their room. Then he went to fellow freshman Molly Wei's room and started a live stream of Clementi kissing a guy. This video was spread across the entire Twitter site. Days after this incident Clementi took his own life by jumping off a bridge.This "prank" video destroyed someones life and because of a homophobic roommate.This is a story that should make people feel and desire to be better Internet citizens. People also, should have learned that if you are homophobic then just keep it to yourself because some one just might loose their life and next time the gay might survive.
