Walk a paragraph

I woke up in the morning next to my beautiful wife and couldn't of been in a better mood, then came to my mind "man its early I need some coffee" I drag my lazy but out of bed and down the stairs to the kitchen I put the coffee on and realized I was in my mid 30's No kids, so inlove with my wife, but I was missing something important something that would make everything complete. I needed a harley, It would fix everything when me and my beautiful wife, Karen. When we fight I could just go out on the bike and have the thrill of going fast and all the power under my legs that would just be the ideal way for me to get everything I needed to be happy. After I finished my coffee that had two cream and two sugar I made my way over to my macbook pro and went on the harley davidson website to find my baby everything I needed black on black crome pipes, it was hard to contain myself from drooling all over my keyboard. Karen came up behind me as I was on the computer and said babe reward yourself, you deserve after the wife said it was A-okay I knew i needed to head down there and take one for a ride. When I finished getting ready and headed down there I knew I was going to be going home with a bike, I was like a little boy going to a candy store or disney world, I arrived I saw the bike I saw on the compute as I mounted it I knew I needed to get it. The saleman approched me and asked if I wanted to take it for a ride "of course!" I said so enthusiastically I took the bike for a ride the wind in my hair the power under my belt everything just felt so right ! I needed this for me I drove the bike to the bank and took the cash out i needed I went back payed in cash and took my beautiful wife for a ride, I really have to say I live the most amazing life.

Preception is Everything

The theme of his presentation was The way everyone perspective is different, and that so easily people and things can trick your minds. One thing that can be connected to is the bombing in New York to the twin towers, noone ever took in there perspective that they were being terriost, yes. But not all terriost can be bad. They probably had familys and in there eyes they were doing something for there country and making a point to America that they didn't think it was fair that they were being so aggressive to Iraq. Another example could be is that Woman and Males think very differently, Men always think they are stronger, faster, and smarter. Woman can be just as equally as quick, strong, and smart. Woman also can do any job a man can even though people dont believe its fair and that a woman just should stay home with the kids. everyone has completely different perspectives on situations but really when we are can just be treated equally. Preception really is everything.

The Perils of Indifference

1. The Danger of People not caring

2. If someone is having a drug problem for example in the book "go ask alice" her family and friends were fully aware of her struggles with drugs, eating disorders and being alone and they all just stood by untill she finally killed herself just like in the story "The Lottery" as soon as the stones were directed at someone else everyone just stood by and watched.

3. Elie Wiesel's speech related to every drastic event that has happened in history! such as the holocaust, everyone would just stand by and watch the jews get put into concentration camps because it wasn't there religion beliefs that were being abused and beaten like the jews. Just like in "The Lottery" as soon as the girl was chosen to be killed by all the stones and everyone stood by and threw the rocks because it wasnt them being killed.

21st Century Education

1. What do you think are the most important skills that you are going to need for your post-high school life?

I believe that the most important skills that I will need after high school will be
Social skills, being organized, being able to take on responsibilities, completing tasks, and being respectful of others.

2. Do you think you are developing these skills in high school? (Why or why not)

Yes I do think we are developing these skills in high school because we have to work with others, which is making us social. If you are not organized in a class you will loose your assignments so a majority of students will stay organized. Taking on responsibilities is saying you will do something and completing it for the teacher which ties into completing tasks. If you do not give your teacher respect, what makes you think that they will give you respect, or in the halls if you don’t respect one another it could just be chaotic at all times.

3. Please describe the perfect school OR the perfect English class (that is based on serving your personal interests and your future plans.

The perfect school, everyone would complete assignments, stay focused on what they want to achieve in there future there would be a class for every interest you have in the future, such as family studies or what it is like to be a child’s teacher, for an example an early childhood education room that you could learn specifically about what they do when you are there teacher.

4. Describe what you are doing next year.
Next year since the program I would like to attend you have to be 19 years or older which is early childhood education. I am planning on staying in Penticton, moving out on my own and going to attend Okanagan College to upgrade a few courses and work part time at a daycare to get the feel of always being around children, to make that this is what I want to do with my career.
