Reflection: The day I first came into this class I thought I was going to learn more about computer and Photoshop, and I was really excited. But then our first assignment was disappointing. Throughout the whole year in this class I was annoyed, angry and denial. I never agreed to any of the SSS there were some statements where I agreed on but most of the time I wanted to get up, start shouting saying that it is a lie and leave. But this class has taught me a lot about holding in all my thoughts and just does as you’re told to do. I have to thank this class for making me hold in all my thoughts and just say what people want to hear.

Character Counts

“The Six pillars of Character”

Trustworthy:  Be honest, don’t deceive, cheat, or steal, be reliable — do what you say you’ll do • Have the courage to do the right thing, build a good reputation, be loyal — stand by your family, friends, and country

Respect:  Honor the worth and dignity of all individuals. Treat others the way you would want to be treated. Act courteously, civilly, peaceably, and nonviolently. Be tolerant and accepting of differences. Avoid rude, offensive, and abusive words and actions.

Responsibility:  Be accountable for your words, actions, and attitudes. Exercise self-control. Strive for excellence and self-improvement. Plan ahead. Set a good example for others. Be self-reliant, prudent, proactive, persistent, and hard-working.

Fairness: Be consistent, open, and treat all people equitably. Consider all sides and make decisions on the facts without favoritism or prejudice. Play by the rules, avoid careless accusations, and don’t take undue advantage of others. Pursue justice and condemn injustice.

Caring:  Be kind, compassionate, empathetic, charitable, forgiving, and grateful.

Citizenship:  Obey laws in good faith. Do your share to improve the well-being of fellow citizens and the community. Protect the environment, volunteer, and participate in the processes of democracy by staying informed and voting.

Reflection: We humans like to say that we follow all six pillars and we never break them, but its all a lie. We can''t be trustworthy at some points. We don't respect everyone at all times. We are not responsible from time to time. We are not fair to each other. we say we care for everyone but yet we still talk mean stuff behind their backs. We like to say we are good citizens of the community but we aren't. Most religion that has to do with god always looks down on other religion and call their religion the best one ever.

Memorial Day

Online research:

                     

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces. The holiday, which is observed every year on the last Monday of May, was formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the war. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who died while in the military service. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end. 

Hypocrisy - Deathrow (No Regrets) 

I am no savior

And I ain't no saint

They will take me to the electric chair

Yeah, Ha ha ha

No remorse

And no regrets

For those I've sent straight to hell

I have my demons

They're all here in my cell

They're all here and follow me everywhere

My hate controls me

And gives me strength

My only protection inside the walls

Dying. Desiring. Crying. Dying.

Dying. Desiring. Crying. Dying.

The walls are closing in

My cell is getting smaller

Soon, all the pains must cease

Life will end here

My final days are coming

I can wash away this pain

My body's getting colder

Oh, I feel so unafraid

Dying. Desiring. Crying. Dying.

Dying. Desiring. Crying. Dying.

The walls are closing in

My cell is getting smaller

Soon, all the pains must cease

Life will end here

My final days are counting

I can wash away this pain

My body's getting colder

Oh, I feel so unafraid

On death row.

Living to Die

By Hypocrisy

In the song “Living to die” it’s about how the mind of someone who things about suicide. It’s not something we should laugh about; in fact we should help those that are feeling depressed or suicidal. 

A cocoon binds my skin. It wants to keep me alive.  I am the great messiah of the falling paradise. Destroyed by my own creations I cannot cope with life. The truth you think you know so well it’s just a big lie.

You live to fear You lay yourself to rest. Programmed to crawl it’s just a battle in hell. We are the prayer Can I break the spell?

We are the signs that caged in the dirt we are the plague spreading through the world. We are the disease the virus eating away.

We are no one. We're just living to die.

We're just a lie, we’re just a fake, can't wait 'till I'm finally dead. Erase my numbers to know to never return again.  Computerized, we're all neutralized. In a world that's controlled By machines.

You live to hate ‘Till someone press delete. The things we do, it’s just a battle in hell. We are the dirt. Can I break these chains?

We are the signs that caged in the dirt. We are the plague, spreading through the world. We are the disease the virus eating away. We are no one.  We're just living to die.

If you know someone that is depressed or thinking about suicide, go and give them a hand and don’t ignore him/her.

Cheating is the short term gain worth the long term pain?

"Many think that the short term game will be worth the long term pain, but it isn't. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don't do it."

George Mitchell
