Humility

"Humility is not thinking less of yourself; but it is thinking of youself less."

budget cuts suck.

I can't remember the last time the budget in Monroe has ever passed on the first try, or even the second. But I guess this time, the third time's the charm.

Even though it finally did pass, they're still laying off faculty in te school systems that clearly shouldn't have to get laid off. For example: Lee. Lee is a custodian at Masuk and just found out 2 weeks ago that he is getting laid off at the end of this school year. Once he gets laid off, he won't have a job. And even worse, no healthcare for his young daughter.I've sent emails to the superintendent but she says it's not up to her. She didn't even answer the questions that I asked her. Thanks?

Lee is probably the hardest working custodian there. I really don't understand why they are going to fire him, and keep some of the other faculty tat clearly don't belong working in the school system.

i love the beach.


sup friends.

I have some great friends. Whether they are listening to me vent or whether I am helping them sort through their thoughts, we are there for each other. So far in highschool, I've gained friends, lost friends, and stayed friends.

I've learned that friends can be snooping behind your back with someone close to you.
I've learned that friends can be there for you though the toughest of times.
I've learned that some friends can be trusted to an extent.
I've learned that some of your best friends can be a sibling.
I've learned that a true friend doesn't lie about something big right to your face.

I've learned that you could trust people with your life; and others? with nothing.

hey.

I need to blog more. I've got wayyyyy too many things to keep bottled up in my head.
