Forgiveness

Forgiveness to me obviously means to forgive someone for doing something wrong. It is usually never easy to forgive someone but it does happen often with many people. Honest mistakes can easily be forgiven for but on the other hand more serious matter can take up a lot of time depending on the situation. Forgiving is alway an option but it is not always used. Forgiveness should not be practiced in any way. To forgive anyone is always for doing something bad or messing up so I believe it is not a good thing at all.

People make mistakes and that is why it is okay to forgive a lot of the times but not always. I have made mistakes and thankfully were forgiven for them so I know how it feels and take that into huge consideration whenever I have to forgive someone. I hold grudges so I do not always forgive. Being that I am a really nice person it is easy for me to forgive most of the time but not always. Somethings can slide with me but once you take it too far I do not forgive the person.

I have witnessed and pertaked in forgiveness. It is not a good thing but somethings it is something you have to do. Most of forgiving in certain cases is because it is what you want to do. Being lied to is my biggset dislike from people and it does happen often. I do forgive most of the time because sometimes it is something stupid but I never feel like there is a reason to lie.

I was not able to forgive when one of my closest friends talked a lot of crap about me. It is not okay to be so two faced and I guess it took time for me to realize that. I am very honest with my friends and i don't feel the need for them to lie to me or talk about me behind my back yes it happens but only to a certain extent. To talk about me all the time every day lie and say unnecessary stuff was not what I wanted in a friendship and in this case i did not forgive.

Cheating, lieing, stealing or ruining anything of mine is not possible for me to forgive a person. It is more about trust and that is all I like dealing with. Once i am lied to i never get back trust so i will not forgive the person. Some people are so two faced they forgive everyone for everything simply because they think they are better than everyone or just don't care. Many situations are serious and life has been becoming more valuable so I have no desire in putting up with any ones crap. We are graduating and if there is a reason for me to not forgive you so be it. I try to be all I can be most the time especially with my friends so when they do something to me it is so hard to forgive them.

Unfinished Business

It is senior year and this year has flew by way faster than I ever thought it would. I am now getting lazy and do feel like I have some unfinished business to take care of. My grades have dropped some what a lot since first marking period and that makes me upset. This last marking period my goal is to get better grades. I am not sure how that is going to work out being that i am so lazy and feel like this year should be over already. I am going to try my best but there is always a chance my grades could go down or the work could get harder.

My main unfinished business is getting my work completed on time. Deadlines come quicker than I assume and I really need to step it up. Handing in work late not only dropped my grade on the assignment but in most cases hurts my grade overall. Studying is another thing I have to work on. I feel like this year is dragging on and that I dont have to do anything anymore but in reality I do, it is a whole new marking period.

I have accomplished a lot throughout high school like making honor roll most the time and trying out new sports and clubs. In the end I realized the activities were not for me but at least I know I gave it a try. Trying is all I can do and now i know to try my best. This year is quickly coming to an end and I am scared and excited at the same time to go in the real world and be on my own. Getting up and going to class is going to be a problem because it even is now. I know I have to step it up and now work on all business throughout my life and espically school work.

College work is going to be harder but I know I can do it. Maybe stepping it up this forth marking period will prepare me more for next year well hopefully. I do not have much unfinished business but as we know everyone is not perfect and there is always going to be something you could have tried harder at or worked harder for. Taking your time and eagerness helps a lot and that is what you want to do and if you want something bad enough you can do it no matter how much it takes.

Getting work done is my main problem and hopefully my next weakness will be something different and i will overcome this. Working hard is a life learn lesson and I am going to do my best to suceed at it. I am going to try to thingk positive and get all of my unfinished business done earlier so I have time to perfect it or even just get better at it. 

Jobs

Getting a job is something that every teenager when they reach a certain age should get. However it is not as easy as it seems and having a job is never fun. Going to work every day or almost everyday can be annoying and stop you from doing many things you want to do like go out with your friends, hang with your family or even have some time to yourself. When i was 15 years old i got my first job but it was volunteer work. It defiantly sucked so much working and not getting paid but overall i would say it was a good experience.

Over the years I have had two steady jobs and they were both at a restaurant. The restaurant business was not for me and it was annoying having to serve people all the time especially the rude ones. Not making a lot of tips during the week because of slow business started to get old and I did not want my first job anymore the boss was a fanatic and I would get yelled at for just putting too much ice in a cup. He was not a good boss and he gave more hours to these girls that did drugs which made me mad.

I finally quit that job and moved on to another restaurant and pizzeria. I loved this place the people were so nice and i even became good friends with the people working there and still talk to them until this day. It was nice to meet other people and to work with them was always a good time. Besides waitressing I would get some counter days to work and it was personally a lot better than waitressing. After almost a year of working there i realized that the tips I was making was not worth the work I put into this place. With the crappy economy, slow business and too many waitresses put on schedule it was hard to ever catch a good amount of money a night.

Week nights were always very slow and a waste of time. I used to sit there and do my homework most the time or help the Mexicans cook. You were not aloud to call out the day of work even if you were sick. Two week notice was told to be in guaranteeing you had off which did not always happen. One time around Halloween  I got a really bad cold and needed to call out. This was not okay with the boss even when the doctor gave me a note to be out of school and work. They gave me such an attitude about it and made me come in the first day. I did not think it was fair and that really made me mad. I always came to work and did my best and they would not let me stay home, it didn't make sense to me.

After i finally went into work they sent me home only a half hour early it was the crappiest day and I could barley stay awake at work. They still wanted me to come in that week and I did not understand why. They saw how sick I was and did not care which i did not understand because i always worked with food. I did not want to be sneezing or having to blow my nose all the time and serve customers. That was bad on their part and that is when i eventually quit. Now i still don't have a job but am currently looking for a summer one I hope they are more understanding and the people are just as nice. I would rather have fun at work and be busy so I could make money and the time would go by quick. Hopefully i get a job soon.

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.
