Give Kid The World.

If there is a magical place on earth it is definitely Gktw. What an amazing place everything is so magical and innocent brings me back to when i was i kid how i miss those days. All the kids get to forget everything painful of their life and the families get to relax and pretend they live a normal life, no matter how horrible or sad it really is. I am so glad to be part of this experience, there is no greater reward than hearing a family thank you for being there for them. it is simply amazing :)

Ignorance

As if things weren't bad enough, now I have to deal with people around me being all depressed and mopey. I love everyone of my friends and family, but I have my own problems to deal with. I'm working hard for my finals and looking for a job while balancing a schedule for volunteering. Oh who am I kidding. My life is pretty easy and simple. I have nothing to complain about. Well there is one thing. People can be so ignorant. I am pretty helpful and I don't mind helping those who need my help, but I am being treated as though I am some sort of maid. NO! If I'm not getting paid and if I'm not getting volunteer hours then I'm not gonna do it. I NEED a life. Why can't people see that? I am not the normal teen. Instead of going out at night or on the weekends, I go to class and I volunteer. And when I am at home I become my family's maid. I fix appliances, clean the kitchen, tutor my younger brother AND my older sister, and care for my father. I'm starting to get really annoyed with this living situation. I'm starting to get tired of people around me. WHY IS EVERYONE SO IGNORANT?!?!?!?

Materialists

For all those people out there who strive for the nice cars, the big houses, and the flashy jewelry, where do you think all those things will go when your dead? Honestly when your body turns into a pile of dust, will the fancy cars and big houses be in a pile of dust next to you? I mean there is nothing wrong with trying to better yourself, and providing for your family. But when you waste your life working too hard to get things you won't enjoy very long.. where is the satisfaction in that? And when you buy things that you have to borrow money for,, all the bills and the remaining payments are left for your loved ones. Honestly that is no way to live. You need to live each day like it could be your last because no one knows when your last breath could be. Save money for your family and spend the rest off it getting to know the beautiful world we live in and enjoying everyday next to your amazing family.

Duel Enrollment

As high school students we have the opportunity to attend the community college and receive credits for college. Many kids take advantage of the opportunity, while others completely let this chance fly past them. Yet for those who actually go and participate things are not what they expect. Many of the adults in their classes disprove of the idea and give the high school students a hard time. Why? Well that's pretty easy. Many of the high school students go to college pretending to be something they are not. With so much freedom that is not allowed in high school, they get lost and become ignorant of the reality. These kids give the entire duel enrollment community a bad name. Yes, it is true many teens are immature and they attend college as a joke, but what about the other students who actually strive for the opportunity given and try their best? It's not fair for us who are mature and are taking advantage of this great opportunity. I, for one, am completely appreciative of this opportunity. I am only a high school junior, yet I am completely finished with my high school credit courses and my technical program. I no longer go to my high school in the mornings, instead I attend college as a full time student, and the best part of it is that its COMPLETELY FREE! I don't have to pay for a single thing, and at the rate things are going, I will have my associates degree in general studies before I even receive my high school diploma. So if all students have the same chance to do what I am doing, why do so many of them think its a game and don't try as hard as they should?
