If I could live anywhere where would i live?

If I could live anywhere I would be living in heaven. Of course there is the fact that it is a whole lot better than the earth. But also the fact that God will be there, the real celebrity. It would be such a great honor to be in his presence and once more living with him cause we tried it on our own and failed misarebly. If anyone could live anywhere Heaven is definately the place to be because everywhere on earth has flaws but not heaven. You would not have to settle if you were living in heaven, it would be a dream come true place to live. I would also get to see my mother again which is very exciting. Overall who wouldnt want to live in heaven I mean it is the best.

do you thik pro-athletes get paid too much?

I believe that pro-athletes go trough a lot for the team. Especially as far as practices, camps, and training. As well as their families, because they dont get to spend much time together. But as far as importance is concerned I dont believe there is much. A game never saved anybody, and I doubt it will in the future. The amount of time and dedication is similar to any other job, but at the end of the day its still a game. I believe that there are people out there who do a lot more than them for a whole lot less. I realize a long time ago though that life is not fair and people dont always get what they deserve. Comparetive to the world they are paid well. But I do think that's it too much money just for playing a game.

If a student fails a class who is to blame?

The student is to blame for failing the class. But there are other factors that might be involved as well. The fact is as much as people would not like to believe it there are bad teachers out there. If there is pattern to kids failing that class it might be more to do with the teacher. If the teacher did nothing to help the student or to contact the student's parents then that might be a big factor in why the student fail the class. If the teacher did call the parents and they in turn did nothing they are contributing to the students failure. The main blame will always be on the student because wether or not people are encouraging you in your classes, you must be able to have self encouragement. A student must learn to do everything possible to pass a class, if there is still no sucess then you are sure what not to major in.

how was your weekend?

Well my weekend was rather tiring but quite rewarding. Saturday morning i had to wake up bright and early o attend the march of dimes for premature babies. It was a blast becuse I got to do something good and I had fun with my friends. The walk was long but it was great being by the beach. My friends and I took great pictures to remenber this forever and they will be posted on facebook. I'm very glad I brought my camera because they wanted to take a bunch of pictures. The worst part of that day was having to work in the night and I was very tired by the end of the night. Sunday I didnt go to chuch, im rather sorry that I didnt. But god willing I will be there next week and I will remenber to bring my tithes. Overall the weekend was rewarding, tiring and a wee bit sad but im blessed to be back for another week.

What are your plan for the weekend?

To sum it all up GRADNIGHT, GRADNIGHT, GRADNIGHT. I will God willing be going to Universal to have a good times today. That will start off my weekend hopefully very well. Beacause when I get back I dont have anything fun to look forward to. Since I have testing on Saturday morning that is certainly a rude awaken from my fun time at Gradbash. I pray that I do well on this test because I really need the score. That is one thing that is holding me back. I just want to get it over with already and move on. Im also not looking forward to my night because I will be at work trying to pay off my spending spree at gradbash. I expect this weekend to be hectic, tiring,fun but a blessing above all. I hope it will be one that I will never forget.

how was your weekend?

My weekend was blessed and quite amazing. Sunday is the best because I get to go to church and worship a true and Holy God. I was very honored and just blessed to be in his presence as God visited our church. I hope that my week may reflect my weekend because i definately dont want it to end. I also hope that next weekend would be even more of a blessing if God will it that I live to see it. As for saturday it was rather exhausting cause I had to work from 9-5pm and there wasnt much fun there. I think God tough that I have a job and I hope to keep till I find a better opportunity. Overall my weekend had some ups and downs but Im very thankful to have made it trough.

What is your favorite movie?

I dont believe one can truly have a favorite movie with all the choices available. A few favorites is understandable but just one will not do. To answeer your question I would have to say The passsion, yes indeed the movie about the messiah. I think that is the only movie in the end that can really save a life. Now there are many other movies that are funny or romantic that i could say I like. Such as Avatar, Blind side, Big momma, most of the jonnhy depp movies and so and so forth. Like I mention before these are flitting movies and I can't bring myself to pick one. Similar to color and music favorites I dont have a favorite. Since I have not seen all movies, music, and colors I really can't say I have one favorites. My one favorite could still be out there waiting to be discovered.

If you were given $500 what would you buy?

We have been over this before all my money is currently going towards my car. Even though I can now drive my father's car, I still need one of my own. I could really use a new Itouch but that will just have to wait. I want to save for a long time for my car so that I can get the best posssible used one. I have a bit of an emergency need for a car though so that's not gonna work out. Hopefully before I terribly need I will have saved enough for it. I definately want to have God helping me with my decision as well as input from my father. The first thing im focusing on is my license so that I can be all ready for my car. Im really excited bout it so if I was given $500 that's what I would do with it. Since I have such a good reason I think its fair to give me that $500 now.

Do you think every student should get a laptop from monarch?

As long as seniors get to keep it as a sort of graduation present, I dont see why not. It could be a great learning tool for students. Especially since everything is becoming accessible online, we probably have to do that. There needs to be protection against these tools for learning from becoming tools for something else. Most kids I would say already have a computer at home but for the one's that do not have it, this could be a great help. If you dont have internet access at home, it wont be much of a difference so they should look into that as well. I cant be that bias about this subject since it would really not affect me. I do think that it can help students learn better and actually go home and do their homework. Its all about having the right programs in there and making it interesting for students to use those programs. One thing they must have though is insurance, one thing that will not change are irresponsible students. They will always manage to ruin for the rest of the kids.

How was your week-end?

My week-end was blessed and I felt highly favored in God's eyes. I was able to worship at chuch on sunday morning and on sunday night. Saturday was quite boring and mostly filled with homework doing and sleeping. But I can still say I was grateful to be alive. I drove most places that I was going so it is added practice. Soon enough I will be able to take my driving test and gain my license. That is something very exciting that I am looking forward to even though im a bit nervous. I got to drive my brother's car this weekend which was cool even though I ran over something. Overall I had a blessed week-end because God was with me, protecting me from dangers seen and unseen. It really has given me a boost for the week ahead.

what would you do to change monarch's school spirit?

It hard to say since I dont neccesarily have a lot of school spirit. Though Im sure I can gain some, I just never remenber. As to improve the school as a whole, I would say better pep rally. Frankly I have been to good pep rallies, so I know when I see a bad one. Students are not excited about school, so to raise school spirit they must feel excited. Get people involved in activities around the school because pep rally along cannot do it. There will stil be people who are just the spirit bunch, but I think with time anything could happen. Its much like the saying that practice makes perfect, monarch just has to keep trying. People love bandwagons, so its a matter of taking the iniative to have school spirit. Like always everyone else will follow in their own time.

you have $50 what would you buy?

I would put it toward my savings for a car but that isn't going to get me ten sentences. I must then divide the money between the things I want that cost less than $50. That will be rather hard even though I dont necessarily have an expensive taste. The amount to my belief is just to stunted to shop with. I could possibly purchase the necessity such as food but i doubt it would make much of a difference to my fridge. On thing I guarante that I will do with it is give a portion to the Lord or for better understanding the church. I might just waste it on new shoes or purse that certainly do not need. I might givve it away to the poor, but giving all of it is unlikely. Thus I am right back where I started, helping myself buy a car. I think that is the best way to use it, but to really find out give me $50.

How was your spring break?

Now that I am here my spring break seemed rather short. Overall it was painful since most of my spring break was spent trying to live through a stomach ache. To add to my pain before spring break started I lost my Itouch. My spring break lack music and technological entertainment. But i must admit that there were a few postives, such as my driving skills improved tremendously. I believe I manage to drive every day that week, so I may be classified as a professional. Especially in comparison to some drivers on the street, that have a lot more experince than me. Easter was awsome because I got a chance to really think and remenber the loving sacrifice that allowed me to be here. The weekend was truly a blessing for me and I hope it was for anyone who was at my church or another church. Im very glad I wasn't focused on the bunny because that is not what easter is about whatsoever, but were unwilling to accept the truth. In all it was not a wild spring break by a long shot but it was in its on way exciting though very short.

Do you think that volent video games make kids violent?

I think that people in general are influence by almost everything around them. For childreen it's even more so, because their like a rather blank sheet of paper. I dont believe that solely playing a violent video game will transform a kid into a killer. I believe that a violent video game will influence a kid immensely. Parents send their kids to school in other o influence the right attitude in them. If a person is in a calming environment they tend to be rather calmer then other in a hectic one. Those example reveil that what we see, hear, eat or sense will influence a person. I believe in individuality just because a game affect me in a certain does not mean another person will be affect in the same way. But the point is that we will both be influenced and we will each react to it in a different way. To conclude my thoughts violent games does not guarantee a violent kid much like nonviolent games does not guarantee a nonviolent kid. I beleive that a violent act has deeeper roots then a violent video games, though it certainly does not help reduce the erge for violence.

What are your plans for the weekend?

I plan to work on saturday and go to church on sunday. I am much more excited about going to church then work. But I do have to work, since no one has yet volunteer to buy me a car. On sunday evening I will be at church once more for a youth meeting. Hopefully i will be able to make it on time since the youth leader gave a speech about last sunday. I really want to turn in some movies to the library since they are due on saturday. I might not be able to do that because im working on a bad time. I hope something unexpectedly good happen during this weekend. Mostly my plans are to make it through the weekend, hopefully God has the same plan. I guess I'll find out on monday.

Do you think schools should give the Fcat?

The fact is if they remove the Fcat they ill only replace it with something else. I would rather suggest that they dont determine so much with the results. Giving the Fcat little less importance would be the best solution. A kid that works hard in class should not have to depend solely on the Fcat in other to graduate. How good a school is should also not be determined on wether or not students passed the fcat. I believe that a principal's effort or effectiveness at running a school cannot simply be determine by the Fcat. The school board leave it to the Fcat to decide just about anything in school. They would rather take the easier way, rather then putting effort into figuring out what really goes on in school. The Fcat itself is not the worst thing in the world, no matter how students complain. There is too much pressure put on students and teachers to leave up to the expectation of the Fcat.

If you were stranded on an island. what 3 things would you bring? why?

If I was stranded on an Island I would bring Bible, those self heating army food, and a knife. I would bring the self heating army food because i hate anything raw. I dont really fancy having a cold meal as well so I would really appreciate them. Im pretty sure that the heating pouch would be able to start a fire, thus keeping me warm. I would bring a knife because that is how I would build my home away from home. It has to be a sword type knife, very sharp that would be great for maybe buillduing a boat. Of course, I would bring my bible because God can get you out of any bad situation. I believe that is the most important items on my list. If God wants to intervene then I would not need any of those two other things. These are the item I would bring with me, but im very unadventurous so I doubt I will ever need them.

do you think high school athletes should get paid?

well if they do it would be in gum. I believe that players would no longer be playing for the love of the game but for money. Were constantly trying to gain something for all we do. I think that player will miss a valuable lesson if they were to be paid. Learning discipline and how to work together would only be a way to obtain money. This is so unlikely to happen though its hard to even phantom high school players getting paid. The fact is that we cannot even get money for things we need in class, where would we find the money to pay so many high school athletes. We can't exclude any game or any school, how would they ever pay for it. Lastly i would say that not many high school atheletes have reach the talent worthy of being paid. College is understandable because we they have a great amount of fans. They have also develop the talent, and the coverage through the media. High school athletes should definately learn to play for the enjoyment and love of the game, not for money.

Do you think the driving age should be 16 or 18?

I think it should be 17 but since I have choices that doesn't include 17 my next best would have to be 18. As shocking as it is for a teenagr to decide to wait a little longer, i believe it's necessary. I dont believe there is a magical change that happens at the age of 18. But I do believe there is a level of maturity required in other to drive. I also believe that it is unlikely that you will find it in a 16 year old driver. Driving is a responsability and a priviledge, and most people even 18 year old cannot graps that. When on the road your life is not the only one at risk but other lives as well. I feel a lot better driving even if I had to wait longer, knowing that someone mature or close to it is behind the wheels. I dont want to generalize that every 16 year old are immature, but unfortunately the majority of them are. I dont believe that 2 more years will cause any harm and if it might save a life, then I'll glady wait.

how was your weekend?

My weekend was blessed and very enlighten. Friday I had to do some preparation for my great-grandma's funeral so I was tired. Friday I didn't make it to school, so I have some quizzes I must catch up with. Saturday was the actually funeral, it wasn't a deeply sadden departure because she was 112 years old. Im sure my grandparents felt it the most because at any age losing your mother is not easy. I had first hand experience of this October 15 when my mom passed away. Sunday was blessed as usual, I went to church then I came back for youth meeting. Unfortunately I wasn't able to stay for the night services. I was able to watch some inspiring messages on TBN when I got home. Overall there was some things that I wanted to do during the weekend that I didnt do but it was blessed.

Is it dishonest to lie to keep a secret?

Yes it is dishonest, though it would just as bad to tell a secret. The best way to avoid being dishonest is to simply not reply to anything that would revealed the secret. Asking the person you're keeping the secret for is another way of avoiding being dishonest. Let the person you're in a position where it's either lying or keep the secret and you do not want to be dishonest. The friend might just say that it's no worth it and you could avoid dishonesty. If it doesn't work out for the best and the friend wants you to keep the secret, it's basically your choice. Keeping a precious secret might seem like a good reason for telling a lie. The fact is a lie is a lie wether there is a reason for it or not. Once you start arguing that lie you will argue every lie that you ever told or will ever tell. There is always a reason to lie though it may not be as thoughtful as keeping a secret. Everytime a lie is told it's dishonesty, for it not to be would require a change in the meaning of dishonesty.

what is your favorite time of the year?

I not sure if it's simply depending on weather or just a preferred time of the year. I would have to say my favorite time of the year is the summer. It's not neccessarily becasue of the weather but because of the lack of school. I do appreciate education and the opprtunity it offers but I detest waking up early in the morning in other to receive that information. The fact that the weather is not my sole reason for liking this time of year, I still do like the temperature. As long as the summer is not extremely hot, there are many fun and fuffiling things to do. The opportunity for an adventure or a vacation is quite attractive as well. Florida offers a lot during the summer, and I must say that it is at it's best during those time. My summer are filled with lazy days, which sometimes i could use less of. Overall the summer time would have to be my favorite time especially living here, there's not mch of anything else.

how was your weekend?

Saturday was extremely entertaining, i got to see this auditions or contest for Onstage New York. Now mind you this was not a planned affair, but it definately not regretable. The lack of time I was left with to do my homework may beg to differ. the performances were truly extraordinary, they range from ballet to hip-hop dances. They were indeed talented people, who were very experienced and trained. The rest of my weekend was relatively regular, I opened up a new chase account but evils of all evils I misplaced my coupon for one hundred dollar. I am thus officially one hundred dollar poorer. I had a great time at church, followed a couple of hours later by a great youth meeting and night services. Monday was very frustrating as I try to finish all of my neglected homework. I try to call off work in other to gain more time but someone had already done that, unfortunately though arguable since i would be losing money i only managed to work at a later time. Which meant a later bedtime and a later wake up, its a terrible chain reaction, with firm roots on that accidentally wonderfully entertaining saturday.

do you think school should only be monday though thursday. 7:30am-4:30pm.explain

Personally that type of schedule would work out terrible for me. Last year I might have said yes because I didn't work afterschool but for me and to anyone that does work afterschool it's a killer schedule. If this schedule would mean more time in the classroom, I would go against it because I feel that I spent way to much time in class in the first place. My classes at BC were about one hour long and I probably learn more there. The fact that I'm a senior makes this question very irrelevant to me thus I can't give a sincere opinion. I do however believe that were the teachers efficient enough and the students mature enough they could learn in four days what they need to learn in five. The idea of school is not simply to give the future of America an education but it's also to keep them out of trouble, and out parents hair. Just about anything is worth a try though, but Im glad I wont be the going through it. No, I dont necessarily care for a different school schedule right now.

How was your weekend?

It was a blessing because I went to church on sunday and I didnt have to work during the weekend. Saturday was a bit of a lazy day, and I was really dissappointed that I didnt accomplish all that I had set out to do. This weekend was also filled with frustration, especially towards my little nephew. I had to babysit during the weekend and most of the time he's a handful. Nothing extraordinary happened except sunday night at church, that's always quite unbelievable. My sister borrowed money from me so I went over my budget for the week. I will probably have to deny myself something in order to make up for it. There's really not much of a story to tell concerning my weekend, I did basic survival things. I finished a book that I had been meaning to finish for some time now, so that was gratifying.The ohter dissappointing thing about my weekend would have to be missing the opportunity to improve my driving skills. Overall Im thankful for a safe weekend for me and my family.
