Whats a Life if Everything is Constant?

School can be the best days or the worst days of your life. Frustration, stress and anxiety brew all around especially during the beginning of the year due to schedules. When classes you really desperately want cant fit into your schedule and the only thing you cant really chose about what you do in school is your schedule. Imagine having no room for more electives and having to wait to finish your lab sciences in order to get your chosen elective and trying to cram every class you want into your senior year. That's exactly what I plan on doing next year during my senior year. I'm frustrating in the fact I cant pursue my dream of art without having to drop one of my electives that I really love whether its the debate between taking a language, a music class, and a lab period, that gives me no room in order to pursue art. Not only that but hearing my friends from Norwalk high and hearing about their rotating schedule that allows you to have an extra elective with the price of an hour long period and a rotating lunch. A small price to pay to forward my future and pursue my interests. although it may be confusing to rotate classes every day and drop a class, it is significantly better then seeing the same teacher every day at 7:30 in the morning and constantly on the verge of sleep enabling learning or comprehending most things thought that period.

Imagine seeing people at the same day at the same time constantly over the whole yea, it gets drilled in your head and then you wonder why there are kids constantly skipping certain periods. A constant schedule is not meant for everyone it can bore and frustrate people. it a constant game of chance whether or not you'll have a good schedule and if you get an important class first period where most people are just not awake and fully functioning yet. Being on edge hoping for a schedule for your desired classes and failing first period classes because your just not a morning person is not how I'd like to spend high school feeling constantly bored that everything stays the same.

What is Going On in Egypt and How Can We Help?

Egypt has been through rough water these past couples years, they’re going though a political transition and its not peaceful. They’ve been working hard to make their country a better place for them to live. The biggest issue is the economy is that it’s rapidly decreasing, the less money they have the less they have for essential need like water, trade and power. They’re in debt and they don't want to raise prices and have citizens grow angrier at them, but if noting is done they will continue to lose power in major cities and citizens will counties to use more money on generators and still grow angry at the government for not helping them.

Not only is losing electricity bad but the effects of that are worst, citizens’ refrigerators will not work or keep food healthy for them to eat so that may cause sickness and spread around also the heat from summer will be unbearable to the citizens without working A/Cs. If the US is going to help with anything it should be the electricity situation because it will prevent less chaos and will bring Egypt more stability to its people without causing harm to Egypt’s political situation. Egypt should be left alone to its political situation because the people of Egypt have the right to lead their own country how they see fit, if America was to disturb that and try to control their situation it could turn devastating.

Although, America goal is to help countries, that does not mean making countries into what it sees to be civil or proper. Western media tends to exaggerate as to ‘these people need help, their on the edge of civil war what are you going to do to help them’ type of news they feed us. Although that may seem like an invitation to but into their personal affairs its not we can only help them with what they wish to be helped with and not what we would like to change because we should not rule a country for them that only brings hatred.

What I would want to ask to Egyptians is:

What do you think need the most improving and how do you think it should be improved?

Is chaos on a day to day basis or is it just one or two thing happen and its blown up drastically?

Do you feel safe in a country that is on the edge of possible civil war?

Where I'm From

Where I'm From

Where I'm from the cars move at a constant speed every couple minutes
 Where I'm from it's quite one knows anyone
If it doesn't involve you, you
Don't get into it
Where I'm from it's on the inside
That matters
Where people show you who they really are
Where laughter, jokes, and stupid remarks
Where Witt flows out of mouths and sarcasm seeps
Into every conversation
Where embarrassing moments turn to jokes you'll never live off

Where I'm from there is no reason for below average
Where I'm from you race to beat your siblings shadow but never
Because you have to but because you should
Where I'm from everyone is different
Where you shouldn't stay home because that's lazy
Where you do anything and everything
Where school becomes your 2nd home if not your 1st
Where I'm from family makes you who you are but it's your life

Where I'm from school is an amusement park
Where there are people you may only see once
You might not meet people till your graduation
Where there are challenging classes
And classes so boring your brains will melt
Where I'm from your expected to know what you want
And where you want to go in life
Where I'm from you have to be on point to succeed in life
