Experience

"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."
                             -Albert Einstein 


It shows that not one person is perfect and in order to get somewhere in life, you'll have to make mistakes down the road. Until you slip out of your 'personal bubble', you'll miss individual shots in life that you didn't in the least risked, not undergoing. Whether or not they be good or bad choices, it's about taking chances while not expecting anything and just doing it. They always teach a lesson, having you think twice, making you for the better. Confronting doubt is like facing your fear of heights, when you decide to take the leap, the out-come is completely worth it. A person would never know if they could have made the world's greatest discovery known to man kind, because he didn't attempt to. The worst possible feeling is that you had no intention of effort at all.

Quote

"I can't tell you the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone."
           -Ed Sheeran
When I first read this quote, I instantly knew how this quote can easily relate to my life, as well as everyone else's in the world. It talks about how when trying to make everyone like you, your problems will probably only get worse from that point on. Most likely, not everyone in your life is going to like or be friendly to you. Some people will just not be like you and have the same interests. Even though I know from personal experience how hard it is to go on knowing someone doesn't like you, we all have to learn how to move on from that one person and focus on the people who accept us. Now, Ed Sheeran, if you didn't know, is a British singer. His music is loved by many, but not very enjoyable for others. Ed's career is an example of how this quote can be useful to remember in life. Getting into the music business, Ed knew that he can't please all listeners. Sheeran's music is very soft and gentle, but at the same time very emotional and meaningful. Obviously, people who listen to rock music won't really be playing this music when they are driving to work, getting ready in the morning, or, really, ever. He had to learn with not everyone loving his music and dealing with the haters. Ed embraced himself being different from everyone else and didn't change anything about himself. This is how we all should be-ourselves and only ourselves, no matter what anyone else says. And, as Sheeran says, trying to be someone you are not will most likely lead to failure.

Success

“The only true measure of success is the ratio between what we might have done and what we might have been on the one hand, and the thing we have made and the things we have made of ourselves on the other.”         -HG Wells


I think this quote is about what we do with the resources and materials we have and how the meaning of success is if we went down this other pathway how our lives would be if we chose different. We might contemplate our steps and choices. We may judge them good or bad but, we’re stuck with that choice. We can chose to acquiesce it or you can work your butt off trying to get something better. That is success. I feel this quote could also be about how there is no for sure way that you will ever find out what could have or might have come from the other choice you could have took. This quote could also been about success and how we shouldn't dwindle on the past but look to the present. Another way you could look at this quote is that a measure on success is not how high you climb but how many obstacles it takes to get there. But in order to get to it, you must first get failure. Then get the will, belief, and want to persist it.

quote

"That's always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they are pretty. It's like picking your breakfast cereals based on color instead of taste." -John Green To me this quote means so much, and is really good advice, especially being in middle school. To me this means that you shouldn't pick your friends, or the people who hang out with by the way they look. You should choose them by how they make you feel and if they make you a better person or not. John Green has some really amazing quotes, but this one spoke to me the most. I think this is great advice to everyone for several reasons. Kids now a days do this. Boys want to hang out with girls with the prettiest face, coolest clothes, and etc etc. Same with girls when it comes to boys. I believe people should start looking a little deeper than the surface. A pretty face is nothing without a good heart or personality. In conclusion, I believe people should look at the heart instead of the face or outside features.

Prezi

Monday, November 12, 2012

Lately, I have been thinking about the tragic disaster known as Hurricane Sandy. Thinking about all the families and friends lost of thousands of people, I started to think about how easily a life can be lost. At any second of the day, anything can happen unexpectedly that can ruin a life or injure someone tremendously. During the unexpected turning point in history, many innocent people lost their lives and many lives on the people they love and will miss. It is very sad to understand that disasters can happen at any moment and can be completely unexpected. I think our community and country should try much harder to work to help the areas in need from previous tragic and tremendous disasters. After hearing about Hurricane Sandy, it made me realize that certain places can use much help from the more fortunate areas in the world when they are in need.

Being a person running for our country.

Over the last month or two all we could talk about is the election on the next President. There have been many debates and many persuasive commercials about who to vote for, for this country. But for me I have been feeling what is it like being a president and what it must feel like during the elections. The people running seem so nice and calm but they are probably crazy and are on a tight schedule. As I see the tv commercials and talk shows I see that they spend tons of money on these commercials. Being a runner for the government is probably a lot of work seeing that you have all these rules like years of age and years of being a citizen and having all that just to be part of our government for a short term. Also these people have a lot of stress on them. From the debates to talk shows they have to always be on there A game because they want the people to trust them and mostly like them. So during the election time they must be really stressed knowing they may or may not achieve the greatness to be part of our falling and needing help of a government. In the future I know I will not be a president or any part of our government because I dont want stress and feeling of some people like me and some people disgrace me.

My Journey.

I have been abused, locked up, and even dropped too many times. But still I supported him, was a scribe and had even allowed myself to give moral support but that all changed one chilly winter day. That cold winter day is when. I was studying my commander's drawers when I saw billions and billions of broken utensils  They had all withered to an awful annihilation by being ruminated, snapped and even tossed on the ground. Horrified by what I saw, i decided to ditched my owner. I sneaked in a bus which I believed would take me far but instead, it only took me to the train station. I aborted a train which I thought would take me to the city of Chicago, and it did. After some time exploring the abandoned streets, I proved to myself that I prefer to live in a world with abuse than not having a home. Once again I started my journey home when a human took me under his wing. He took me home with him. He didn't abuse of me and kept me happy. I will live till my eraser is no more.

2012 Presidential Election




My current event is on a major topic in America and especially recently, the 2012 Presidential Election. This event is definitely important because the citizens of the United States should vote for the person that they think will rule the country the right way. I think every citizen should participate in voting for this crucial decision, as long as they reach the age limit to vote. This event is publicized plenty, but I think it should be talked about more. I think that because it is definitely one of the most important decisions a country as a whole can make together. For somebody who does not understand politics and the making of a government, the election can make out as something that is misunderstood. I do not think the article showed any bias at all because the writer explained both sides of the election in detail without giving their own opinion.

Hurricane sandy


The article about the current event is on the east coasts worst hurricane, hurricane Sandy. Hurricane Sandy is an important event because it destroyed many homes and lives in east coast. Sandy was an hurricane that hit the east coast and destroyed huge buildings, homes, neighborhoods, and even many lives. This event needs to be publicized because with people knowing what happened to the east, people can help those in need. The red cross is a main way to help those in need. This could be misunderstood by people thinking this hurricane isn't bad and didn't do alot of damage. This hurricane is a huge and one of the worst hurricanes in american history. This article wasn't biased because it had facts and pictures of the hurricane. Also the article is from a huge new station so it shouldn't have anything but the truth for the people who want to see the news.
