Blog post 5 The Way I Want To Learn



    The video put out recently in which a high-schooler fights for what he believes in has had many districts around the U.S. proposing new ideas on how we can fix our  school system to benefit both students and
staff in the modern day's school system.I personally believe that this student really speaks for all students
throughout the world. Yes, maybe he could have presented what he thought in a more respectful manner
but he still presented his beliefs in a way that we can all relate to. As students we all have that one teacher
or that one day where we just want to stand up and let all the pressure built up from anger and frustration
ooze out of us.I also think that we as students should decide what we want to learn. After all we're all
our own person with our own life and our own beliefs.For example if i wanted to become an engineer
and my best friend wanted to become an artist should we both be studying the same things and
completing the same homework or should I be learning physics and advanced math and let him learn
advanced art and design.When i think about what this student did i try to put myself in his shoes and
"yes" i think i would've done the same exact thing.In conclusion i think fighting for what you believe in just as
Jeff Bliss did is one of the few things that can lead to change in today's public education system.

Tests

Tests are always hectic.whether its personal anxiety or trying to finish your test even though the person sitting next to you is driving you nuts. Today we took the staar writing and revise and edit test.It took a total of 4 hours of agony sitting in our chairs not moving,quietly trying to keep our selves from falling asleep or snoring for that matter.I personally believe that the excess of testing required in texas is ridiculous, i think there should be one final test and thats it!

SPRING BREAK OF WONDERS


My Spring Break Part 1


               Over spring break I hung out with my four best friends.There names are The Couch,The Xbox,The Internet, and my homeboy Chris. I spent endless hours racing the fastest cars in the world and defusing bombs with 3 seconds left before we are all wiped off the face of the earth. The whole time my mind was locked in concentration my mic blaring with sounds of rage coming from Chris who was off slaying dragons in an endless land that goes by the name of Skyrim. Then when my mom came down stealing the T.V. even though it was "only" 1 am. Next I ventured into an endless sleep full of my adventures ,waking the next day with the sounds of the "real" world.I pop my fingers and stretch my arms and prepare for the next day of gaming.
             



My Spring Break Part 2

                Even if my pockets were heavy with cash my spring break wouldn't have been different. In my mind my spring break couldn't have been better. No amount of luxury could overpower my love for gaming with my friends.Others might want to spend spring break on a beach with a smoothie but for me sitting in the pitch black with a gaming headset and a coke is my idea of luxury.

UNPLUGGED?

Day:4,859

UNPLUGGED

            Imagine if all of a sudden all of us became simultaneously unplugged. How would the world change? Would it change for the better of humanity or the worst.

OFF:On one hand if the world turned off all life would struggle. Electricity is used in every way of life. Think:we light our houses with light bulbs, we start stoves with an electric spark, jails are protected with (electric) security systems. The world would instantly become a mad house without power.

OFF: On the other hand the world might become a better place, sure we might not be able to power up our XBOX or cook on stove but we would no longer have social networks, video games, or a phone to text on and we would really be able to focus on our those close to us.
