Blog #13 - Can't Put it ll on the Teachers

No, I do not believe  in the idea that public schools should be responsible for the teachings of personal values. Hence the word "personal". I feel it is the parents job to raise their child developing their own personal values. Schools are for the education of scholastic subjects; History, math, English, and science. On the other hand, it is good for the teacher to demonstrate a serious of basic ethics like respect, manners, and responsibility. The rest is for the parents to do, the teachers can't do it all.

Blog #12 - Movies! :)

Everybody has their preferable genre for movies. Some enjoy a comedy, a romantic film, or you may be in the mood for horror at times. From my perspective, this is how i see different types of movies as.

Romance. Or in the words of men, chick flicks. Most romantic movies have to do with a couple whom fall happily in love, however as time goes, something happens to corrupt their relationship. The girl thinks the guy does something bad, that didn't really happen or is a big misunderstanding, and he must prove himself that he is right for her.

Comedy. Everyone loves a comedy! These are generally my favorite type of movies. They always have a good plot line and make you laugh the bulk of the time. Theres really no other way to describe a comedy, basically you just laugh.

Horror. My next favorite type of movie. I just love the sense of suspense of things that pop out at you at random times even though you know it's coming because the music gets slow and the main character is walking by themselves. To be honest, i actually find it fascinating when the movie is all about gore and blood. I don't know why this is but it only makes the movie better. :)

Blog #10 - Nobodiness

Throughout our society today, they're millons of people who feel like they're a nobody. Usually the people who classify this feeling are usually referring to the fact they dont have as much as others, for example, friends or material things. If they're considered "a loner" at school, they're a nobody. if they don't have the latest ipods, or cell phones, they're a nobody. But are they really nobodies? People look for approval, not just from friends, or family. They claim to be nobodies so they can get the sympathy and have someone tell them that they are somebody. Everyone is a somebody no matter how many friends you have or if you have the cool new "look." Everyone is important in their own ways.

Tuesday's with Morrie has really been an eye opener for me. I know I'm only sixteen and still in high school, but now i make it my perogative to live my life to its fullest. Your last day may come sooner than you know, so lets make it worth something. I'm not at the age where I take time to think about my own family and how I want to live the rest of my life, but I will always remember how important family is, and that you can't do not nearly as much without them. I can easily apply this lesson to my high school years, to make every minute there worth the time we put in, and to create memories that will last a life time. When it comes down to my final days, I don't want to have any regrets, just like Morrie. He made a difference and contributed all of his wisdom to better the people around him.
