Election Reflection

By Anonymous -

  • My overall thoughts about the election in general is that it was very intense and very unpredictable. I was up all night watching the election, I was tired but I wanted to stay up because the election was so intense. Both beliefs and thoughts were very different between the two candidates, and throughout the entire run, the candidates were at each other's throats most of the time. When running for a president, some things might be said about the other candidate. That's just the way it is. All in all, the election was very intense and intriguing, although I have to say I didn't like the way it ended. 
  • My thoughts about the election is I didn't like the way it ended. It really had me thinking about the society, and how many people actually were rooting for someone to be our leader who has said what he said and done what he's done. I'm not trying to be bias, but come on. Really? Someone like Donald Trump is not fit to be our president, he is the bias one here. What he saying not only about women, but about every race, religion, culture, etc, proves that he is not fit to be our leader. That especially proves that if he is our leader, he isn't going to be the leader of all of us, he will be a leader to one group. One race. One religion. He is bias, and not the one destined to be our president, unless that is, if he changes his point go view on things, opens up his little eyes, and sees that this country is a diverse one. He can't come in and change that. I know I can't change what happened and who won, but I have a say in it so I'm gonna say it. 
  • Watching the election, hearing about it days after, and hearing about the race for president, it really did make me kind of want to get into politics. I want to, but I wouldn't know where to start. Considering the fact that I'm still young, and don't understand much about politics I, out of all people, really wouldn't understand or even begin to be able to understand where to begin with politics. Maybe in the future I might get into it, but for now I'm just gonna stick to the sidelines and just watch the show. 
  • I, myself, am not voting in the next election. I was born in 2003, meaning in 2020 I will be 17 not 18, making it illegal for me to vote. In 2024, though (if I live that long) I will vote, and that's what I'll be excited for. Although, I wish I could vote in the next election, I know I can't change the year I was born in. Hopefully though the candidate I want to win will actually win that year. Overall, this election was intense but the ending was not what I hoped for.

The Greatest Risk, is Not Taking One

By Anonymous -

     The title of this blog, is one of my favorite quotes. Once I read it, I sat down and just took a minute to analyze it. I knew from the moment I read it, that I would really relate to it. There are moments in everyone's life, where they question whether to do something or not. I know I do. For me, I'm more of a shy person, so I don't take the risk. Yet, I always wonder what would have happened if I had actually taken that risk. I will always regret not taking the risks in the past, because what if it could have changed my life in a completely different way? You see, taking a risk is something you should always do. If it is something you might be so scared of, take a moment, and look at the pros and cons. That's what I do. In the end, I always look at the cons even though there might have been more pros. I always find a way or a reason on NOT to do something, don't be like me. If I learned to take a risk, so should you.

Beginning of the End

     Over the past three years, I've really grown fond of heritage. Of course sometimes I hate having to wake up and go to school, but who doesn't? In the end, I'm grateful for all the opportunities heritage has given me. It's the beginning of May, meaning my middle school years are almost over. Part of me can't be more excited for the next chapter of my life. Then again, another part of me is more scared than ever to move onto the next part of my life. I'm basically one step closer to being out there in the world all by myself. I can't wait for that, and I want that to happen. I also kind of want to stay a kid forever though. There are two sides of this situation. One side wants to hide from the future, and the other side can't be more excited for the future.      This year has honestly been the year that changed me the most. It's made me stronger, more open-minded, and I've gotten more organized. I've been better with time management, whic...

Perseverance

By Anonymous -
      Now that we have summit, school has been so much harder. These focus areas piling on top of each other, it's like never ending. Summit has been very tough because, #1, I'm still getting used to the whole new platform, and #2, these focus areas need time and thought put into them, and it takes more than a day or two to get most of them done. I persevered because this is my education, and even though it is hard I'm not going to just give up. Of course I needed patience though, because to be able to have go preserve through something like this, you do need patience to get it done and tolerance to failure as well, because failure with this is not uncommon.      Some traits Nick Vujicic has is self-confidence, courage, and of course perseverance. How he had self confidence is because he doesn't let what other people effect the way he sees himself, and he also doesn't hide himself. He actually goes out. He also respects himself enough to not let anyon...
