I would like to start by formally apologizing to each and every one of you. I have been so busy with school and all. I just have not had the time! Soon I'll be back to a normal weekly post I promise. Ok so let's start this wonderful little rant right. I. Hate. When someones writing is criticized so much that everyone feels they must get involved and that they need to
Throw in their two sense.
As of recent a close friend of mine publish an article on freshman in the school paper. It was strongly worded and a relatively rough piece. It was not some dainty work that skips around the topic. This has not sat well with many of my fellow students. Why that is, is beyond me. All these students have felt obligated to talk about her behind her back and complain about what she wrote and how it has created so much drama. They don't seem to realize, they themselves are creating even MORE drama! So by complaining about someone they have just gone and made everything worse. Yeah. Thanks everyone! Way to use this thing called common sense... Anyways overall it was a very well wrote article. It had very good structure, composition, and voice. That is what should be criticized. HOW she wrote, not WHAT she wrote. What gets me the most though is that many of the people who have taken up complaining, have a group of friends that they do the same thing to. Only what they decide to say happens to be far worse. Not to mention they only feel the need to say it to their friends. At least the writer had the guts to say what she though out loud.
Now. I do realize that I myself, am complaining, which is in a sense, hypocritical. However, if I have felt the need to say anything about anyone who has been involved in this. Then I have said what I wanted, right to their face and not behind them. I have done nothing but defended my friend and attempted to show how stupid it is to attack a character instead of their work. So even though this rant involves a lot of complaining about how people act, I feel it is a "necessary evil." Pleanty of people were already thinking this. Someone had to say something. So why not me?
Now onto the next topic. I have found out today that the schools French teacher will not be returning next year because she was let go... This severly bothers me. I am having a hard time with trying to figure out; why her? Why now? What will happen to her? I plan to not sit around and find out the answers to those questions.I have taken it upon myself to organize a group and fight for this teacher. I will march where ever I need to, get what ever is required, and do everything I can to fix this error in the system. The old saying goes "you must pick your battles." I have picked mine...
A lot of people look at me as some kind of superhero. This kind of baffles me. It also does happen to be weird and hard to appreciate because I am, by no means, super. But I plan to take this view people have of me and hold true to saving the day this one time. The whole point of me ranting about this is for a simple lesson. Dont give up on something that is important. No matter how impossible the task, if you will yourself to it. You can do anything. Don't ever let some tell you that you can't. Don't ever take the word "impossible" and listen to it. Nothing is impossible, nothing can stop you. By god nothing is going to stop me that is for damn sure. So why should you let it stop you? I'm no different then anyone of you. Don't ever give up and don't ever hang your head low.
-Yours Truly
