School In A Perfect World

Thu, 16 May 2013 18:31:51 +0100

My perfect world of school would consist of three non-flawed aspects.- Social, grades, and education/learning. In order to reach a marvelous social aspect, I think making a list of people who we enjoy being around and working with would make class a tad less torturous for some. Also, minimizing the amount of students for each period might be helpful. It's not like every student you put on your list will be in your classes, but one or two seems more reasonable.

Now on to learning. When a student is gone they are held responsible for picking up missed assignments. How could we make it even easier? Giving us more ways to stay caught up. The teachers in the school could set up a small camcorder in the back of the classroom, and record them selves teaching a lesson. They could even make it a live feed cam so the student at home could watch and take notes as you're doing it, or view it later.

Grading. I think grading is too straight forward. I'm not exactly sure how to correct this, because all teachers have a different technique.- Some grade very precisely, some are more lenient. Others, are lazy and grade quickly, while others take so much time you have to wait a couple weeks to figure out your score, and by the time you get it back, if you need to correct anything, you don't even remember the unit. Rules are set, but they're only there to be broken.

I Believe

Thu, 09 May 2013 18:19:36 +0100

I believe I cannot do everything, but I can always gain as long as I try. I believe I can use my pain from my past and convert it into strength. I believe everyone is flawed, whether they show it or not. Learn your weaknesses and fix them, but do not focus on being perfect. I believe that your attitude during hard times reflects on who you are as a person and how you'll mature and grow. I believe that, us as humans with feelings, always want what we don't have and that's all we focus on and strive for. Look at what you got, and build off of what you have.

Diseases

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:24:57 +0100

Your life means a lot. To you and the majority of people around you. Along with your health. You care about your health, because sometimes people get fatal diseases when they did nothing wrong. Don't take your health for granted.
Although some people look at it as weird, unusual, and these kids can grow up being called a freak, this outcasty look they may have wasn't necessarily their choice. This physical malfunction is called a birth defect.
There are 4000 known different types of birth defects. 3/100 babies in the US have a major birth defect. Also, 105,000 babies each year are born in the US with birth defects.
Being physically different isn't always a choice.
If you were born with your eyes in the wrong place, would you wanna get made fun of for it?

A persons a person. No matter the looks.

Dessert Dance! @Neverland

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 18:39:52 +0100

Our class is full of sweet, imaginative teens. Neverland really will, I believe, send off this whole make-believe vibe, which will be great, because this night should be fun, magical, and we should never want it to end. We should have beautiful flowers made with tissue or something like that. And each student in the 8th grade could make 2 or 3. We could have cloud like things (cotton) around the edges of the bottoms of the walls. We could have pink, orange, yellow, green, warm, soothing, mystical colored lights like those everywhere and soft glitter and sparkles around everywhere. The photo booths should be benches with clouds and fake birdies on them or maybe some dusty fairy glitter along with maybe a tall, beautiful like a village building in the middle of a town parade type look for the background.The vibe should be a fairy tale. One we never want to go away. Because we are supposed to remember these times in our lives. The ends-The new beginnings. It should be magical.

Why You Don't Give Up

Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:35:46 +0100

Not to be inconsiderate or anything, but a lot of the time, people are just overreacting teenage girls who think their lives are "oh-so" terrible. It looks pathetic. I'm aware some people are genuinely sad, but sometimes it's a different day but same thing.

To the real point.

You have a family.

People who care about you whether you call them friends or not.

And a life.

Not everyone gets a life. Whether you think you deserve one, want one, or need one or not, you go along until you're out of your hole then you live to the fullest, because you've learned you're stronger than you think. The journey starts with realizing you can be happy again. Then for a while, it will just start hurting more, but at some point it'll turn right side up. And you'll be stronger than you every imagined. The feeling is indescribable. I'm not gonna give you the whole: "You're beautiful, your life has a meaning, I love you, someone loves you." I know the thought: Thanks, but you don't know me so just shut up. Honestly.

That whole speech is overrated and painful to listen to, because those people are just pleasers. They're annoying. And they're pathetic and you should strive to be genuine. Not that.

Anywho. The end is the best part. The end of feeling terrible, unhappy, and just plain done. When you can smile and mean it, you don't even have to think about it.

A Bit About Me

Tue, 09 Apr 2013 18:35:26 +0100

I realized that, frankly, you guys know nothing about ME, just my thoughts. I assumed, at the very beginning, that it wouldn't matter, because no one will be reading these anyways, but maybe, just maybe someone will happen to come across this oh-so lovely blog of mine. So, let's get started.
Some of my friends and family call me Lyssa or Lyssa Rose. I'm a pretty in check person. People who strive for attention and the perfect life I laugh it. I've been through enough(Don't assume I'm just another person who fell off their bike and calls that a life-changing experience, because that's not what I mean by I've been through things.) Anyways, I've been through quite a bit in the past couple years, all the way up to today, and it's made me a stronger, independent person.
I truly do believe you can't depend on someone too much until you learn to be happy by yourself...- Without anyone else. You should be happy, then surround yourself with people who just add to your happiness. Life sucks honestly. At one point or another, nothing will go right. You have to realize it's not the end. We're young. Alright? Stuff is gonna hurt. A LOT. You're gonna think you wanna be done or some CRAZY thing like that. I just really do think, going through pain is part of living. And if you can't ever come to accept that and realize what matters and what really doesn't.. I just don't think you'll make it here. I used to be naive and one of those people who thought life was always perfect. Well, I learned my lesson. Sooner than most people do. I overcame a lot, and it takes strength and knowing your weaknesses, but also your strengths. Life takes effort. Hop into reality whenever you choose, but you have to before you can strive.
This was longer than i intended. Sorry for the novel of how I look at things.

Crimes

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:31:01 +0100

In the 1900s if you killed a person it was a huge, town-wide dealio.

Now, in some places, there are multiple murders, rapes, muggings and more, a day! When did this become part of living?- Part of everyday life? Why and how did this come to be?

There are many reasons why people do the things they do, whether it's impulse, not being mentally stable, or just because of a traumatic event or maybe it was an accident. The majority of the time, major crimes are committed by unstable people. Possible motives are money, threat, and satisfaction. Everyone's head works differently, so you never can see anything coming until it's already done.

We are all truly crazy in one way or another.

Teens

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:31:58 +0100

We are so messed up. Whether we admit it or not. Sure YOLO. Whatever. I don't care your reason, whether you're "Living" or just being dumb. Or generation stands out from past ones.

Its kinda embarrassing. We might enjoy ourselves more, but we're still rather ignorant, conceited- our thought process is completely and utterly shorter and skip multiple, pretty necessary steps. Of course none of this is going to change, and not every single person is terrible, 'course. But then the question comes up..:

"What about future generations?"

Our kids. The people who are going to run this country after we're strong adults. The point is, choose who you are before you set your life up, but don't take to long, and do not live with any regrets. Not tomorrow, not when your 100 with your grandchildren. Live, but be at least a lil smart.
