30 lines

We have to write 30 lines about a topic this week so I am going to write about how I am an agnostic, and how that doesn't change me. I don't believe in god. It's something that I am not afraid to let people know. The definition of agnostic is

the view that the question of the existence or nonexistence of a deity or deities and the nature of ultimate reality is unknowable by reason of our natural inability to verify any experience with anything but another subjective experience. A strong agnostic would say, "I cannot know whether a deity exists or not, and neither can you."
wiki, wiki, wiki
Im not a different person because i don't believe in god. Im just unwilling to put all of my hope and faith into someone other than myself. I believe in myself, and myself only because in actuality, I am the only person that really matters in my life. That may sound selfish but its the truth. In the end you live for yourself, because if you live for someone else you will never achieve true happiness. I believe in myself, i know who i am and i know that no one on this earth can change me.

I am my own person.

I think that many people need a reason for existence. Some people just can't handle the fact that we are animals, here for no other purpose other than to evolve, survive, and reproduce. The fact that there very existence is irrelevant to the survival of man hurts them. Im my eyes, God is just a way to explain the unexplainable. How the earth formed, and man, are among the many wonders that are accredited to god. But science shows otherwise.

Many people let the church lead there lives. The church forms there sense of right and wrong for them, and i think that is crazy. How can a book define you.

As i said before,
i am my own person......

D school ?

Bayshore has received a D as a school grade for the past 3 years. Do you feel this is an accurate assessment of our school, our students, our teachers and our administrators? If you were principal, what steps would you take to improve our school grade? How would you motivate everyone to try harder and work more? What things need to change? What things need to be added?

Our school receiving a D the last 3 years i think is an inaccurate assessment of our school. I think that Bayshore has many very bright kids, but the other people weigh them down. I think that to many kids in our school don't care enough to try on the FCAT and in school. Which in turn brings down the people who try there best and care about school. I think that there are some weak teachers in our school but for the most part we have a good teaching staff. As a principal i don't really know what i would do. Our administrators have tried many different things to try and get kids to care about there scores and to try on the FCAT, But for the most part have come up short. I think that bribing a kid to do his or her work is ridiculous. They should be motivated enough to want to better themselves and to do good with there life. I don't think that there is anything we can really do to motivate kids who aren't already motivated. Some people are just helpless.

What if.....

What if... I lived in Europe. I think that i would be a lot more open to different things in the world. I think that people that live in Europe generally accept more things than Americans do. I know that i would definitely be culturally different and my view points would be different. My family life would be more family oriented. Its kind of obvious that everything would be different.

freshman..



So, you want to be a successful freshman ay?
well being a freshman is pretty hard. High School is a whole new experience for you. With all the new faces and teachers, its hard not to get stuck in this jungle. The best advice i can give any new freshman is to focus, focus, focus. Keep up with your school work cause it will definitely pay off in the long run. It will open doors to better opportunities, and much more respect from your teachers and piers alike. Plus the self satisfaction of achieving greatness is indescribable. Making friends and being popular is definitely a factor in enjoying your high school life, but education shouldn't take a back seat to popularity. Friends come and go, but an education will always be with you. Another valuable piece of advice i would like to give you is do not give in to pier pressure. Drugs are a very real part of
high school. People will ask you to party, and get drunk. They will pressure you until you crack. The only way to counter this is to ke
ep a level head and not let there influences skew your views on right and wrong. Be your own person, and not who they want you to be.
i thought it was cool.

writing...

For my senior year i just really want to focus on graduating. I want to go to college and lead a successful life. I have goals and aspirations just like everyone else but i am living my life now, enjoying my senior year. Being a senior is a very exciting time in our lives. One that i never though would come, but is going by way to fast. I am ready but scared to start my life on my own.
I want to stay home for my first few years of college. I can work and save money for when i move out. So that means that i will be attending SCF or A.K.A the University of Bradenton. I want to eventually major in Mechanical Engineering and work in New England.
Planning for my future is all i can do now, the rest comes in time.
