educational system needs change

In today’s school system we need more freedom. I’m not saying that administrators should cut out all rules and regulations, but allow students to live and be students. I feel like a lot of teachers focus on the wrong things and it’s very petty. I don’t understand why students can’t have their phones out during passing time or lunch. I feel like that is just ridiculous. Also, I don’t think being suspended for accumulated tardies is necessary. If students weren’t getting suspended for stupid stuff like tardies, then more learning would take place. I really feel like students are in jail when they go to school. Indeed, if schools started treating students more like adults then maybe they’ll be more prepared for college when the time comes. I think that high schools should have the same rules as college, since that’s the main goal.      
          Also, I feel as if schools need a better variety of lunch for elementary students and allow open campus lunch for high school students. Surly, it has always bothered me that I am forced to pay for food that I don’t want to eat. If I was able to leave school and go get lunch then I would be much more satisfied and it would allow me to feel free and not trapped for so long. Once again, this all comes back to treating high school students like adults. So the main thing I feel that the educational systems needs is rules and regulations that allow high school students to be treated more like adults. Indeed, this will allow them to have an easier transition into college which will allow them to know how to handle their new environment. The educational system needs a change and I feel as if great progress would be made if these changes occurred.

I'm most proud of myself for

There are many things that I am proud of about myself because I work hard to be the best person that I can be! I would have to say that the thing that I am most proud about is the fact that I’m living my dream. I have always dreamed of attending Michigan State University and I’ve always aspired to become a pediatrician. In the fall, I will be attending Michigan State University as a premed student and there is nothing that I am more proud of at the moment. Michigan State has a lot of applicants and I’m honored to have been accepted; I can’t wait until I’m officially a SPARTAN! #GOGREEN!! In today’s society, education is vital, and it’s my number one priority. I’ve work hard during high school which has allowed many doors to open for me and I’m am extremely proud of that! I can’t wait to get to Michigan State and begin pursing my education.
Also, this is so important to me because I am the first in my family to attend college; well a couple attended, but none of them completed. I feel like such a good child. Whenever my parents go anywhere they brag on my success and it can get irritating sometimes but I know that they’re just really proud of me. I hope that I do great things in college and I’m going to work my hardest by balancing my time, studying, and attending class daily. When I get in college I want to continue doing things that will make myself and my family proud. My education is so important to my future and I am truly proud that I have earned the opportunity to attend Michigan State University as a focused and determined premedical student who is goal-oriented and wants to succeed.  

Growing as an Individual

Indeed, no one in the world can be considered a “perfect person”. We all have flaws and all need to grow in some areas. I have many imperfections, some that I may not even know about but the main two would be that I allow people to take advantage of me and I’m lazy. Some people who I know may not agree with me, but I feel that learning how to say “NO” will allow me to grow as an individual. Unfortunately, I allow people to have many opportunities to take advantage of me because I feel as if I have to do what people ask of me. Even though I have ZERO kids, for some odd reason I feel as if I’m obligated to help people even when it’s hurting me.
I as feel as if I would grow as an individual if I stopped being so lazy! I’m a senior and it’s my last week of school, and I think anyone who knows me would agree that I am extremely lazy. Last night I slept 13 hours, from about 1:30am to 2:00pm. That is crazy to me because I would get so much more accomplished if I slept 6 to 8 hours like a normal person. Lately, I’ve not been doing my homework and have barely been going to school. I think I have a slight case of senioritis. But still, I’m even lazy at home. I can’t tell you the last time I’ve washed a dish and it’s crazy. My goal is to stop being so lazy because I don’t want to continue these bad habits at Michigan State University in the fall. The sooner I stop being so lazy, the better of I would be and I think that this is the case for many seniors in my boat!

The World's Biggest Problem

In today’s society, there are many issues; some more major than others. We face pollution, scarcity, overpopulation, violence, poverty and many other obstacles but the most shocking issues seems to be the ones that we can control. Think about it, why is their violence and pollution? Mainly because of humans and their selfish ways! I feel as if the world’s biggest problem is humans honestly. However, being that we are one of the most successful speciecs, we need to make a change. I feel that if everyone stopped caring about people’s opinion then the world would be a better place. In most cases, we kill animals and tress and pollute the air to impress others! Big fancy 10,00 square feet homes and  expensive cars that ruin the environment are all things that we can cut out of our lives, but we won’t simply because these things give us power. We care so much about these things that we are willing to destroy our world and the environment to have these thing.
Mugging because I could care less
Also, humans care so much about what people think that in many cases violence will occur. Fights usually occur because of he say she say drama and it’s unfortunate because this bickering leads to such a major problem in our world and it could be avoided if we’d learn how to ignore ignorance. Violence occurs every second, and most of it deals with someone trying to seem “hard” and not look like a punk. The only reason behind this behavior is to impress others because no one wants people to talk about them or look down on them. This negative energy is stupid and our world would be a better place without it. I feel like everyone needs to start focusing on what is important in life and not about what other people are thinking or saying.

Introduction: A look at the blogger!

Hello Everyone! I'm an 18 year old male named Eddie and I will be attending Michigan State University in the fall. I could sit here and write all about myself, but that would be really shallow so I'll just lay out the basics! I'm a fun, loving, intelligent young man who loves to party and enjoy life. I believe in getting an education, however I believe in enjoying yourself while you achieve your goal. In addition, I love basketball... I'm a KOBE FAN!!! Also, I'm big on how people dress! lol I have to admit that I'm kind of materialistic. HEY I won Best dressed this year!
Also, I am extremely blunt and say anything! I really feel as if the only people who can deal with me is my friends at school… It’s like we have our own ways of talking to each other! It has gotten to the point where people from outside of our school think we’re so mean, but in reality we’re never serious about anything! I swear the people that I’ve grown up around has really had an influence on the person that I am today! ..THE COOL, EXCITING, SEXY, FUN guy that I am. LoL
Anyways, my future hopes/goals/aspirations are to graduate Michigan State University for my Undergraduate and then attend Medical School at Howard University! I have dreams of being a Pediatric doctor who specializes with cancer patients! One day I would really like my own practice so that I can work for myself and run things at my establishment. My love for kids and biology are my main reasons for aspiring to become a pediatrician but specializing with cancer patients came about due to me losing a close friend from Cancer about two weeks ago! So this is the basics behind who I am and I hope that you guys appreciate and enjoy the rest of my blogs!
