We get computers?!?!?!



     One of the benefits I have been enjoying this year is not having a 20-pound backpack to carry around campus with you because you have this handy-dandy laptop with you that has 99% of your books on it. But if the laptop goes, so does pretty much your entire education for the moment. One thing you can do to prevent this is to back your homework up on a flash drive, that way if your computer goes you can plug the flash drive into another computer and keep doing whatever you where doing, like working on homework.

Story corp




      My english, science,and history teachers have gotten together and assigned this "Story Corp" thing at my school. So we have to pick a person that has more experience than we do and ask them some questions. I think that it is going to be interesting to hear how different times were before I was born.  I have picked my mom for the Story Corp interview. I do not have any questions at the present time but am hoping to soon.

What's so special about the education of the arts?





         I did ballet for 6 years, I loved ballet, it was my passion and pretty much my life. I have discovered that I have a love for art as well, I have always had an interest in art ,but now I know that I really enjoy it. I was homeschooled 5th-7th grade and in that time I had no art I learned of famous people's paintings but I did not do art. The years that I was not homeschooled, I was at a private school that did have an art class that was required and I loved it. Since I have seen both sides of the story, I can honestly say that having the arts in a child's education is a very important key to a child's educational experience.

To lead a selfless life





     
               To lead a selfless life is to lead a life that is focused on God and others rather than yourself.      Hence the name 'selfless'. For me, leading a selfless life is to focus on what God has in store for me    not what I have planned for myself. I use my mom as a role model all the time because she is so          selfless that she gives her life to christ every day and never gets tired of it. She is always giving up      her time to spend time with me or take me somewhere or help me with my homework. Society can      be what you see it as. Whether you see it as selfless or how should a christian act in society? Well,      the bible says that a christian should mirror God and is God selfish? No! God is a loving and                selfless God so the christian should strive to be loving and selfless people in society. I know I try        for that and I don't always succeed but I know that God will use me for His purpose anyway.
