Me Academically.

        My high school experience has been with ups and downs, especially since I am in an Early College High School program. Since I am in this program I have had to work harder, but I will be able to accomplish  many of my goals. In my entire life I have had many academic struggles and academic achievements that have led me to pursue my aspirations.
    I have struggled in school many times in my life, even though I am a very good student. I have had many problems with asking for help when I truly need it. I always try to figure out my school work on my own instead of asking for help. Sometimes I struggle because I do not ask for help. I struggle with studying for tests and quizzes sometimes, because I do not know what materials to properly study  In this event I do not study well, so I study very little. I have always had issues with math, because I think it is very confusing and a lot to process. I sometimes do not do so well in that area because I do not know what to study either. In contrast I have had my accomplishments to compensate for my struggles.
   I have many achievements for my academic works in school. I have always kept my grades up and I have never received an F on my report cards throughout my schooling. I was in the National Junior Honor Society for two years. In that time I am very proud of what I accomplished in the program, for I was making a difference  I did speeches and helped out in the surrounding community. In addition to my achievements I was accepted to Early College. When I received my acceptance letter I was ecstatic and I knew that through this program I would be able to accomplish amazing things I did not even know I could. I made it through my freshman year with ups and downs, and I am currently making my way through sophomore year. My accomplishments and struggles have caused me to aspire greatly.
     I want to accomplish many goals and aspire greatly in my academic future. I want to graduate from Early College High School with my high school diploma and my associates degree. I wish to pass my ACT tests, so that I do not have to keep taking them. I want to strive to go to college to become a writer or a graphic designer. I dream to do such things and one day I will  make them become realities.
      In my academic career I have had academic struggles and accomplishments that have made me want to pursue and accomplish my aspirations and goals. My struggles have made me work hard and to achieve great things, and my achievements have inspired me to aspire greatly in my academic future.

Bullying is not a pastime!!!

I think that people bully online because they think that they can get away with it. They may also think that since they are online it is a funny thing to do to others. They are not physically hurting them so they think that it is okay, but they are wrong it is never okay to bully someone ever.
I think someone would be more likely to take a stand for someone who was being bullied in real life than online. I think this because if someone was being bullied in front of everyone in public someone would try to stop it. Cyber bullying is sometimes hard to crack down on because it is done privately online and not in public.
If someone was being bullied in front of me I would stand up for that person and help them. I know what it is like to be bullied. Bullying hurts and it is not funny just stupid and immature. Everyone should respect others and accept them for who they are. It is not hard for anyone to do. No one should judge someone else because of their looks or because of who they are. Bullying should never be a past time.

Honor Among Thieves?

    There is no right for someone to take or claim property that do not belong to them. This is honestly called thievery and being a thief is wrong. People work hard for what they have, so why should anyone take what they worked for away? When someone's house is robbed and everything is taken the people living there may have lost everything they worked for. It is not fair for someone to take everything away.
     If I were to take away a lollipop from a child I would be in the wrong because it did not belong to me in the first place. The right thing to do would be for me to get my own by not stealing or taking one from someone, but by buying my own lollipop.
   The only exception in stealing something is maybe if a mother's child was dying and her only solution was stealing medicine because she could not afford it. If it was her last resort maybe she could ask and get help but to save someone's life is important especially if it is a child because that child could be great in the future.
  I think taking property without a legitimate excuse is not right because someone else worked for their car, money that they have, and whatever else they work for.
