Late for 5 minutes and a late pass?

I've seen people who come in late and receive a late pass for it. Why should they get that if it's only for 1 minute? They should give students a break. Giving them detention because they were late is completely pointless. It doesn't teach them a lesson but make their record look worse. Tennent Road is soo crowded the second buses start to come in and that becomes impossible for many students who are trying to make it.

School Wasting Money

Recently, the TVs in our hallways finally turned on. And it was all about announcements. I think that no one would have the time to look at them. Why couldn't the school spend the money on trying to expand the cafeteria? or improving the AC and heater to work better? It takes forever to get your lunch and that period is only 30 minutes. If the school can make it bigger, people can have more time to eat and so on. TVs are not a necessity at all right now.

Racism in our school

It's ridiculous how people have the nerves to still make fun of other people because of their religion or color. It's a free country and these students are not showing a good example. Even though we have had all these meetings about racism and respecting each other, it has not changed much. People still make racist comments. This guy in my class is one of the most racist kids i know. He is completely immature and I cannot stress it more. Who is he to say that Muslims celebrate 9/11? Or tell a Muslim he is a terrorist? What kind of right does he have?! I don't know what the school can ever do to change this. The only way is to do something about it once someone does something like that rather than wait for it to become worse. People should not just sit there and do nothing about it but to tell their guidance counselors or something of what is going on before it becomes worse. High School is the perfect place to experience all this nowadays but if students act, it can be prevented.

Battle of the Classes

So last Thursday was the BOTC. During the day, many people were more competitive than supportive of others. They did not respect the other teams since a lot of them tore down their posters and because of that, they got yelled at. It was pretty obvious that that this was getting a little too serious. People should respect the other teams rather than get them all angry and more competitive. It's what this activity is mostly about.

Writing blogs

So i write a blog about writing a blog. I think these blogs are actually kind of fun, besides the fact that we need a minimum of 4. I think we should just have a minimum of whatever we want because that way, people don't have to think of topics to write about. We could have one topic which could turn out an amazing blog. On the other hand, it is kind of interesting to look through other people's blogs and catch up with their lives, giving ideas and thinking of things that you never thought of. When you look through all these blogs, people can see that everyone goes through almost the same thing. Stress, High school, classes, and their love of music, sports and etc.

Snow Day =]

Since there was so much snow, why not take advantage of all that snow? I never really made a snowman ever since i came to America when i began 7th grade. Therefore, i went to my boyfriend's and we made a 7 foot snowman. On top of that, we had the scarf and everything to go with it. It was the first and best snowman i ever made. I never knew the whole "if you make a ball of snow and keep rolling it across the floor, it will get bigger" was true. This snowman was huge! I took pictures and i wanted to post it on fox news since people's pictures were being posted on tv and we made a bigger one than one of the people so i'm pretty sure we would have been on it too. Although i didn't have my camera when i got him =[ Oh well, besides that, i had fun =]

Valentine's Day

So February 14th came, mine and my boyfriend's 3rd valentine's day. Every year was completely special and romantic. This year, we decided to go to a romantic restaurant called "that's Amore". Before that, i went to his house and he told me to wait at the living room. When he told me to go to his room i saw him hold a really unique rose (it was no ordinary rose cause it had some type of design and it was real) and a box of chocolates. When he opened his gift, he loved it. And knowing me, i opened my box of chocolates NOT expecting anything. In the middle of the box, a ring was on one of the chocolates. =] It's so pretty and throughout the day, i couldn't stop smiling. I just couldn't ask for a better guy to take care of me and make me happy. =] At night, my best friend nicole slept over and watched movies and did the typical girls stuff. I couldn't ask for a better valentine's Day.

Unexpected Friday =]

Since there was a delay on friday, my boyfriend and i decided to get some breakfast. I was so tired, throwing on whatever i saw and went to the car to see him. When we reached school, i asked if he could open my locker since i was full handed with all the books. He said, "why don't u open the locker and i hold the books because i forgot your combination" and i did so. When i opened it, i saw a big teddy bear, balloon, and flowers. =] I turned around and saw him smiling at me. He told me he was going to ask me to be his valentine even though we knew that. He said he came a lot earlier to school to put all that and then came to pick me up. On top of that, i saw many other guys who did the same idea which i thought was adorable. It makes me realize that there really are guys that care so much about that one girl in their lives.

ADAPT: telling 6th graders about drugs?

So in the ADAPT club we will be going to the 6th graders to talk about drugs and drinking and how to not be influenced. We will be presenting them powerpoints and all about it. I just don't see how it's going to help at all because eventually, all of them are gonna end up drinking and doing drugs because that's just high school. Everyone will be influencing one to the other. It honestly is a stupid thing to do. Even though we will be telling them all about it, i wonder if we are gonna end up saving at least one person from doing it.

Prom: Supporting Jill

So i would like to connect mine and Jill's Opinion about prom. She has stated that it is a waste of money and how it is pretty much a scam. It does kind of have me rethink about prom even though i'm definitely going to be going to the senior prom. It really is a lot of money to spend for the dress, limos/party buses, hair, make up, shoes, etc. It is obviously fun since we all get to dance and see everyone of our friends. On the other hand, everyone goes to sea side and end up doing the same thing which i'm sure everyone knows what it is. I think it's pretty dumb cause next thing you know it, you prob don't remember what u ended up doing that night. it's pretty upsetting and disappointing. i completely agree with jill but i might still end up going, making sure i don't spend as much money until senior prom.

SATs and $

So many of us have either taken or will be taking the SATs. It will be my first time during march and i'm so nervous. After this first one, i will be getting a tutor. It's a private tutor at The Harrington Learning Center. It's so expensive; all these tutors an programs to help you score a good enough score to get into the colleges we all dream of going. It takes so much stress and money for all this and hopefully it will be worth it ! =/ Good luck to everyone taking it during March!

What to pick? help =/

so some parents out there are either too protective, too religious which makes them protective, or just plain strict. My dad is the religious, strict, protective one. i always have limits to what i end up deciding. I have two choices for this situation. Disney or some medical program during the summer. During spring break, we are going to disney for a week and it will be my first time and my boyfriend will be going with me and the band too. So it would be awesome. We Will be playing at the Hollywood Studios. My dad doesnt want me going although my mom is chill about it. I keep telling him it's a safe place and all but he just doesn't believe. He thinks ill end up like the movie Taken. -_- ... second i got in some medical program for the summer i get to go to Washington, D.C for a week and learn alot about medicine which i love. My dad won't mind paying for this program even though it's like 2000$... i just don't know which to pick =[
