High school...
Two words that can be described in many different ways.
Good (for the smart ones)
Hell (for the ones that hate it)
Torture (for those that get stress)
Heaven (for those with hormones)
And some just say that you have to get through it.
High school is also full of different things such as, drama,
cliques, competition, and even a bit of romance. I believe that
if high school didn't have these things, then it just wouldn't be
High school.
You need some craziness, fight, loudness, everything.
You need the love-triangles that you don't want to be in.
You need the fights that are for stupid reasons.
You need the stupid seniors that can't get over themselves.
I'm not going to say that I'm just from this part of high
school. I'm one that try's to avoid drama but it still come. I'm
not into competition and romance can wait. The cliques... well...
I'm everywhere in there.
I'm with the fresas (the girly ones),
The punks ones ( my rock fans),
The smart ones ( my educational side),
And the lazy ones ( my best friends).
I'm just an in-between normal girl.
You may think that your high school is different than mine
but if you really look at it they're all the same one way or another.
Plus high school without just one of these things, it just wouldn't be high school.
Especially if there is no drama, it just wouldn't be right.

What Do Teachers make?
The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life when one man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He argued, "what's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teachers?"
He reminded the other dinner guests what they say about teachers:
"Those who can, do, and Those who can't, teach".
To emphasize his point he said to another guest; You're a teacher, Bonnie. Be honest. What do you make?.
Bonnie, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness replied, 'You want to know what i make?'
(She paused for a second, then began...)
"Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could. I make a C+ feel like the Congressional Medal of Honor. I make kids sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents can't make them sit for 5 minutes without an Ipod, Nintendo Wii or movie rental".
(She paused again and looked at each and every person at the table.)
"I make kids wonder, I make them question, I make them apologize and mean it. I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions. I teach them to write and then I make them want to write. Keyboarding isn't everything. I make them read, read, read. I make them show all their work in math. They use their God-given brain, not the man-made calculator".
"I make my students from other countries learn everything they need to know in English while preserving their unique cultural identity. I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe. I make my students stand, placing their hand over their hearts to say the pledge of allegiance to the Flag, One Nation Under God, because we live in the United States of America. I make them understand that if they use the gifts that they were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life."
(Bonnie paused one last time and then continued.)
"Then, when people try to judge me by what i make, with me knowing money isn't everything, i can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are ignorant... You want to know what i make? I MAKE A DEFERENCE. what do you make Mr. CEO?"
His jaw dropped, he went silent.
Most of you might know, that i want to be a teacher. And this would be just what i would say to anyone that ask me, what does a teacher make?.

Do You Care What Others Think Of You?
Does it really mater to you what they think?
i personally don't really care what others think of me.
But if it involves someone that i love, then i care.
I know that it's stupid to judge someone they don't know,
But why do people do it?
Are they bored?
They want a reason for people to hate them?
I know know but i hate it when people just judge people in a bad way.
Why can't you just look at the people from they're good side?
See how to make the life better?Easier?
Or how to make life more fun in a good way.
I always back up the quote "don't judge a book by its cover".
Why is it so hard to not judge people?
Why can't you just accept that it is who they are?
Or that it just them making mistakes ..
Because they are still new to the whole real life thing.
It's just hard to not make mistakes.
That is what life is about.
Don't Judge them by they're mistakes,
Because it might not be the real them

What I Believe In......
Everyone that knows me,
knows that I'm a big believer in faith,
love, and everything.
I believe that love is feeling that comes to you when your ready.
And yes, I even believe that you will get that tingly feeling that they talk about in fairy tales.
As soon as you meet them, you will just know.
And no it will not change you.
Just like this quote says
"Love is not what we become, but what we already are" - Stephen Levine.
So I will wait until it comes for me when I'm ready,
but I will not let it pass me.
Also i believe that I feel like whatever come to me, it's because it's suppose to.
I was ready to learn.
Even thought you may believe that things are unfair and that they came at the wrong time,
I believe they may came right on time.
