I’ve been having really mixed thoughts about highschool. My parents practically forbid me going to a public highschool so filling out all private/prep school applications have been strenuous and haven’t been the most spirit lifting things in the world. I’m pretty nervous for highschool, but also very excited. It’s obvious that freshman year will be tough, starting at the bottom of the school again…after you finally get to the top it’s ripped away from you and your thrown back at the bottom…go figure. I’m pretty sure everybodys feeling the same feelings though, lots of nerves, excitement, it’s something to look forward to. After we got the course selection sheets it was all pretty real to us, that we’d actually be going to highschool. Atleast that’s how it was for me, and a few other of my friends. So basically, I am, despite all the terrible things you hear about it, looking forward to highschool. Atleast we aren’t going through it alone, we have plenty of classmates to lean on.
Archive for the “Assignment Posts” Category Martin Luther King Born on January 15th, 1929 Many people in the world take Martin Luther King day for granted especially young childeren. Many of us are just excited to have the day off from school, sleep in late, get homework done, hang out with friends and just relax. I think more kids should really learn about the day we have off.
I believe we have school off to honor his good deeds. I do believe that it’d be better if we had school to honor him. If we had school we would have a constant reminder of MLK throughout the day, which I do not think many people have in the comfort of their own home throughout the day.
WELL, you see I probably shouldn’t write a blog when I’m in this sort of mood, but it is when I actually write a meaningful blog, meaningful to me at least. If I was on top of the moon currently, you’d be reading about how I wonder why bee stings really hurt. Who wants to read that? If you do, well…Google is your friend. Anyway, lately I’ve been wondering a lot about why I try so hard? I try to give 100% as often as I could. Granted, sometimes I slack everybody does, but I’ve got school, skating, chores, community service, I teach CCD on monday nights, homework, and then helping my younger siblings and eating, oh and let’s not forget sleeping ties into that, never mind the fact that I’m still young…I believe I’m entitled to a little slacking here and there. It’s pretty much impossible to put 100% into all that and still manage to be able to move by the end of the day. So, basically I was just wondering why I work so hard to be a good role model for my siblings? Hm? Is there any reason why? There’s nobody (well besides my parents, but they’re older so I don’t look up to them the way my little siblings look up to me) for me to look up to and I am still a good kid, why do I need to make sure my every single step is absolutely perfect for my siblings? Yeah, I want it to be that way I’m honestly proud they admire me, but a C on a test shouldn’t be the end of the world. Right? It’s not like they’re going to want to get involved in all sorts of drugs because their older sister got a C on a test. If you agree with me would you mind helping me convince my parents of the same? Then I wonder why I just try so hard in general. I know I can barely fit everything into one day, somehow I manage because I work hard, I don’t waste time, I manage it well (well enough at least), but yet, nobody cuts me any slack ever. I guess everybody’s just so used to me working everything into a schedule, barely having any time for friends and not complaining about it that they take advantage of it. I wonder why when I want something SO badly there never fails to be something in my path that’s shoving me away from what I want. No, I’m not talking about guys because unlike most of the girls my age I do not freak out when a guy I like doesn’t glance in my direction in a span of five minutes. I mean with High School and skating. Does there have to be so many people applying to the school’s I want to go to? Why does that girl have to have a triple salchow too? Blah. I wonder why I’m not lucky? Do not get me wrong. Please, I’m incredibly grateful for what I have, but I know many people have happy healthy family and good friends PLUS a little extra something. What I mean by a little extra something is getting lucky. I know people who have grandparents who have won the lottery and they’re benefiting from it. Jeez, why can’t I get a little extra something here and there? I can’t complain though, I’m a happy person, I’m not going to lie. I just wonder why it has been generation through generation that everybody has to work their absolute hardest to maintain what they have, to make other people happy, etc. Sometimes they don’t even GET what they truly want when there’s people that pass them by that…just do not work as hard. Although I complain (which honestly is only once in a while) I decided I won’t at any point in my life decide to not work as hard. Sure, I will slack a little it’s inevitable, but I don’t think I could ever live a life that is not constantly busy I’m just way too accustomed to it. Life isn’t fair to a lot of people, but I guess I’m grateful for being able to manage, it makes me a strong person which I’ll definitely need in the future. Eh, at least I’ll never be able to say I didn’t try which is a lot more than most people can say. I’d love for these questions to be answered, but in the meantime I’m going to go back to my L.A. homework. I think everybody should be pretty proud that I’ve gotten my blog posted before xoathleteox, unless she decided to beat me to the punch and click publish before me.
