A walk in someone else's shoes

There are many people you meet throughout your lifetime. Out of everyone you know friends, family, or even famous people who would you pick to be for a day if you could. Why would you pick this person? Is it because they have the dream job you want, live in a gorgeous house or something else? Think about talking a walk in their shoes. What would be everything you accomplished as being this person for just one day. 

Write about this person and something about them. Where they grew up, who they are to you and why they are so important to experience a day in their shoes.

Understanding Death

Death is a very hard thing to forget about. Everybody dies to live and that sometimes makes me wonder why we are all hear today. Personally I have not had to deal with many close deaths in my family but there has been quite a few. Close family or friends dying to you is never an easy. thing. I am not sure the reason why die but i can assume it's the nature of life. Making room for new people can be a reason why we die but I believe there has to me something more to the reason of death.

Obviously I am not sure what happens when we die because I am still living but from what I have learned I believe in reincarnation. I have attended church for quite a few years and have experience learning the back round of it. Unfortunately I am not sure if I will ever know what happens after we die but I can only go by what I have learned over years.There simply could be nothing after death but I guess I will not know until it happens.

However as being reincarnated I do not believe you come back as something different as far as a plant or animal if you are a human being. I believe you'd come back some how the same and live a different life all over again with new family. Therefore being I believe there is an afterlife we well all live at some extent whether it is being reincarnated or living just with your soul. Life has so many meaning and you do so many things it life I would hate to believe that there is nothing more to it after you die.

Death is something I am scared of and I am sure many other people are. Everyone believes in something different and I hope we get to figure out what happens to us and live again which is what i believe in now. Living to die most likely never make sense to me but maybe we well all eventually be able to figure it out once it happens to us which would be really cool.

Death is a normal human experience. Friends, family others and just people you know die throughout your life and it is something we all have to overcome. I try to live my life to the fullest so I can get everything accomplished that I wanted throughout my life because you never know when your time could be. So as far as I know I try to live for today and not think about death. It is not something people handle very well and it is not an exciting thing at all. It is a natural way of life and a big step to overcome but it happens to everyone the best thing to do is live to the fullest and never spear a dull moment.

Room as a Reflection of Self

My room I would say totally defines me. It has everything I like in it and I try to keep it as neat as possible. There are times when my rooms gets a mess and when it happens it annoys me. It reflects my personally when it annoys me because I like everything to be neat and organized. Besides keeping my room neat I have everything i love in my room, a nice television many pictures of my friends and family and all the accessories I need. Having a big closet is defiantly one thing I love about my room. I have so many clothes to keep in order and my big closet is a great place for them.

I spend a lot of time in my room and it is always a relaxing place. I can watch tv, do homework or even go on my lap top and just have time to myself which sometimes is needed. When I have a long day I always look forward to coming home and laying in my bed. I don't share my room with anybody but it always open to all my friends and family. I am a very caring person and if anyone needed anything they know they always have a place to stay in my room. My friends are over and in my room a lot but there is always room for all of them. I share my room when i need to and it is always a place for them.

For the most part i try to keep my room neat and tidy but in some ocassions it does not always work. When I do not know what to wear in the morning or if I am in a rush I usually throw my stuff around and leave it on the floor so I can get ready real quick because i usually dont have the time to put it away. When my room is messy i cant keep it messy for long, it annoys me. So i usually clean it within that day or the next day. There are a few times when my room has been a disaster but i try to keep it as clean as possible all the time with no messes.

Besides having all pictures of things i love in my room I have many other objects around my room that reflects my personality. This cross that i got when i was a baby is hanging up on my wall and has been here ever since. I am not very religious but it does show that i do believe in god and that it was an appreciated gift i have received. My room explains me and it is one of a kind.

Design a Curriculum

If i could design my own curriculum for a classroom I would change it up a bit. I would still have the normal classes like English and Math be part of the curriculum but I would also add some classes that could help you with college. For example this classes could include skills on living on your own, testing skills, and help with common college applying. Most classes are important later on in you careers but in some cases they are not. For the classes like art and digital media for example would not be important for someone who wants to be an English teacher. I would not make this classes part of the curriculum because they are not necessary to many but I would still allow them to have the option whether or not they wanted to take them.

To make sure basic skills of every class were taught I would still keep the main classes in the curriculum. English is a class that you can learn many things from as well as math and you can always use it later on in life. Math is something you need to know when shopping or even doing bills for your house payments or bills of any type. As far as science and history classes id only make it a minimum two year class in the curriculum. They basic for those to studies are not much and I feel that a two year requirement would be a perfect amount of time to learn the basics.

To make sure that every student in the school learned to read and write I would assign at least one weekly test or quiz on any reading they have done throughout that week. Discussions in class could help them understand what they were reading and as far as writing we would practice a lot. Journals, blogs, or essays could frequently be assigned and help them with their writing skills. Learning grammar and  different types of vocabulary would be a good way to help them improve higher writing skills and learn more words.

Day to day schedules would be all classes. IN my curriculum I would allow students to leave for lunch everyday with a signature of permission from their parents that was signed at the begging of the year. Eating cafeteria food every day gets old and personally I do not think the food is that good. Lunch periods would be extended like they use to be so students would have time to leave and I would leave the same time amount for each class period. If anyone needed extra help I would have assigned one teacher of each subject to stay after a day each week to help any student in need of help that way there is always help provided. Homework i feel is need so that you can practice what you learn and I would defiantly make sure it was assigned three to four times a week in each class. Homework is always a pain but practice makes perfect and it is a great way for kids to find there mistakes and learn how to do certain problems.
