#20 Viewing the World from Above

If i had the ability to communicate with a certain species of animals it would be birds. Not only because they view the world with completely different eyes, but also because they migrate to many different places and i believe they would have the most interesting stories to tell.  Us humans view the world through blind eyes, we do not travel because we are stuck into one life and we refuse to worry about other peoples problems that do not involve our own. Birds, on the other hand view the world from above and they are very aware of all the problems that are around the world, i believe. I would ask a bird what they feel when they see suffrage in one place and then go to another and see others with triple of what they need, also, I would ask there opinion on how they see us live our lives. Also i would ask for their background story and how they learned to do everything they know. I would ask what the world is like and for him to show me around the world, and take me to the most beautiful places. Not only would i absorb as much as i can about these amazing creatures, however, i would ask for lessons on how to be a bird in order to fully captivate there point of view on why and how they are how they are. :)

#19 nothing present good luck in the future

Who am i going to be? What do i want to accomplish? When am i going to decide for myself? Where do i want to go in life? How do i learn to stand on my own 2 feet? These are questions we have all made to ourselves. However, most of us think we can do these things on our own because many believe the world revolves around them. Sadly, truth is, nobody, apart from God, can do all these without a proper education. In my opinion, school attendance should be mandatory. Even now, throughout society we view many people living on the streets, and more than 45% of them are lacking an education. If less masses were less educated than others we would have more obesity in the U.S. because we would have to open more McDonald's, more Jack in the Box's, more Carl's Jr. and other fast food places were they accept people without a high school degree.

#18 Shame Shame...their to blame

Two things i would choose to change from this campus are first, the ASB president and two, The ASB adviser. Its not that i dont like the ASB president its just that the asemblies arent as good as they were the past years, and now there kind of boring, thats why a lot of people just walked out in the last holloween asembly. Not to mention that for the first time in Castle Park history, there was no Homecominmg asembly. Yea the competitions are nice, and the rappin,g but yet, that doesnt make us all, as a whole, have more school spirit. Also, i would change the ASB advisor, not only because shes implimenting new rules that most alumni dont like, but also shes trying (in my opinion) to dictate over something she has no control of. Such as what we wear to school. I believe, speaking for myself, that if my parents let me walk out the door with what im wearing, society should not jugde me, much less my own school. Also, shes making a big deal out of our clothing and our behavior, i understand her point in where it may cause sexual harrasment, however wraping everything up with gang relation! Its gone to far. Our school has a bad reputation because its our OWN that start it. I myself can say that MY school ISN'T ghetto and that there arent a lot of "cholos" around, but our ASB advisor is implying that it is and all the office employees support her on it. thats why our school has been all over the media lately. Beacuse NOBODY FIGHTS BACK, They complain in to the students but they never go public and SHOW the media that there is MORE to our school that whats been going on. What ever happened to "once a trojan, always a trojan", and all that school spirit we had? Now, many are ashamed of being trojans. What happened to us?! I thought the ASB was supposed to ignite our school spirit, but no, instead of selling school related things to make money and give us more school sririt and pride of our mascot, they sell BREAD. They sell a bread for $12 that i can get for $2 at vons. I want to buy a limited edition mini trojan or a trojan bracelet, to show MY pride, not bread.

#17 recylcling

An national concern that is of great importance to me is pollution. Pollution is affecting us all and we are not doing anything productive to prevent it. We may be recycling and cleaning up beaches, however recycling doesn't impact pollution much and cleaning up trash that has already caused enough damage isn't quite the solution either because the REAL problem is already floating around the ocean. We continue making cars that run on gasoline and we continue using trucks to deliver products around the world. Yes we have made a few improvement on cars such as the electric car, but it still seems to use gasoline, so its not much of a step towards pollution prevention. There are no electric trucks or ones that run on solar power, and if there are they are too expensive for more than 50% of the human population.In my opinion whats the use of inventing something productive when it will not be put in use.

#16 fitting into the "click"

A diema I face and had a great impact on me occurred in 8th grade. It all happened when I started hanging out with a certain group of people. I used to be an A and B student untill I started to follow my friends and not care about anything, I thought we were the badest around and nobody could tell us different. It was then when my grades started dropping and I started lying go my parents about EVERYTHING ! I would tell them I was going one place and go to another or I would ditch and make up excuses, all just to feel cool and fit in with the "click". Ever since 8th grade I haven't been able to be that student I used to be. I got used to procrastinating and just not doing the things I'm supposed to do. It's been quite a struggle and I WANT to be the best I can be, because I KNOW I'm better that what Im doing right now. It's just that it's hard to break a habit you've been in for a long time.

#14 money cannot buy happiness

I believe this quote is true because the man can have all the wealth in this world however, he will be continue being empty inside, he will be nothing but a slave to his wealth. He himself, literally, might be rich, but on the inside he does not posses that wealth of peace, love, faith and happiness we all search for. Wealth cannot buy any man happiness, temporary happiness, yes, however material things are not enough to fill that emptiness.
