Big Tests

Well the year is coming to an end and that means that tests are starting to stress out all the students at Kennedy and at all the colleges. Everyone is studying for the huge tests that we have been preparing for all year. This is not something that any one looks forward. The only good thing about getting ready for these tests is the feeling after the tests are done. That means that we are officially done with school and all your hard work pays off.

This year I have a different situation that I have to deal with. Along with all of the AP test, I have to take the final for the college class that I am taking. Essentially they are the same thing because they both give college credit but I feel like the college class is more important. Anyways I hope that everything goes well and I pass all the tests!

Prom

Prom. That thing that every girl waits for. That thing that everyone knows happens when you become a senior. It is the most anticipated event of your high school career. It is the time when you pull out all the stops and don’t even hesitate to go all out.  This is the time when we have finally had grown up, matured, and look like adults. Us girls spend practically our whole four years in high school just imagining what it will be like. Once we become seniors we go months ahead of time to search for the perfect dress. The one dress that makes us look like a princess. The color, amount of sparkle, and right amount of puffiness has to be exact. The countdown starts when we come back from spring break, knowing that it is right around the corner. Prom is the last moment we have as a group before we graduate. The last big party, the last dance, the last everything. Connections are made and some are broken. All I can say is that Prom was the best night of my life and I will always hold the memories close to my heart. I would not have changed one thing about it. Prom was everything I imagined it would be and more. Prom. The last hooray.

It would be hard to even describe prom if you didn’t experience it with yourself and with your own grade.  If you were underclassmen, yeah you would know some people but it wouldn’t give you that same togetherness feeling that being a senior would.  I do admit that my expectations were pretty high for this last dance and were going to be upset if they weren’t met. I am happy to say that for the dance all of them were met and they sored beyond. Choosing your prom group really does make a difference.  I saw people that really didn’t want to go with certain people or in a certain group and they came out of it not having that much fun. My group was perfect. I would not have added anyone or subtracted anyone. We all meshed perfectly and grew a bond that is now stronger and will carry into the summer.

Going into the dance I was a bit skeptical because they said we couldn’t grind. How else were we supposed to dance? But low and behold once we got to the dance they said grinding was allowed just don’t make it too inappropriate. A happy medium. The music was great, they took requests from students and played what we asked for. I could feel the music and move to the beat. When there was a song that wasn’t that great to dance too, then it was perfect opportunities to go outside, cool off and rejuvenate. We all agreed when it was a good time to go. We left and I looked back knowing I had made the best of my time at prom and felt like it was amazing. There will never be another night like it and I don’t want there to be. Nothing can compare and it will be sacred to me. Prom. One of the best nights of my life.  (563)

Crime is Pride

This expert reminds me of the syllogism by the great Socrates: All men are mortal, Socrates is a man, Socrates is mortal. Men’s behavior has changed since time began. At first they were the hunter gatherers that provided for the family. As time went on the same concept happened, men went to work while the women stayed home to take care of their children. Their manners matured with the men as they tried to win over a lucky lady. Now and days men’s manners are hard to find. Usually they are rude and treat women as they are some sexual object. The roles are also changing for men as well. Women are starting to get higher ranked jobs and making a name for themselves.

When you raise your children you want to instill good morals and teach them good manners so when they go out in public or are around people other than their parents they will reflect how they were raised. Most parents are strict at first and always do the please and thank you stuff that gets annoying but when you are older it just becomes a habit.

We are all humans here, we make mistakes. Ever since Eve ate the fruit from the forbidden tree in the Garden of Eden the human race has been sinful. Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins. This means that we can go to Heaven once we die, but only if we believe I Him. All men makes mistakes is true, they are constantly temped by the social media in today’s society. Some men who were brought up with good morals and manners know the difference between good and bad and will make the situation right. A level of self-consciousness sets in and the man who committed the crime or did something wrong will “repair the evil.” The people with the best hearts have a hard time dealing with situations where they didn’t something wrong or possibly lied.  To some this might be looked at as a crime though. They don’t understand why they turned themselves in or did the right thing, because they themselves would never do the same.

In today’s society we deal with a lot of selfish people who will use others to get to the top or put other people down to make themselves look and feel better. Hopefully this type of behavior doesn’t continue and parents take note to raise nice children and make that change. For those people who look at doing the right thing as a crime, shame on them. They won’t win in the long run and will do the wrong thing to get farther in life, but if they live by that motto it won’t take them very far. We need more men in the world who are brave enough to do the right thing when they make a mistake. Repent and know that God is with you. You will be a chosen one.  (541)
