3. "I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing." - Neil Gaiman...Teach me something that's actually worth knowing and why is it important.
Well that is not completely true. They may not teach you this things as a class at school by most of this you learn throughout school, so in a way you do learn most of these at school or throughout school. In school you do learn how to love and you do learn how to walk away from someone if you don't love them any longer, It's just harder to walk away depending on the situation you were in. When you help people with problems in their life and make friends, you will eventually learn what is going on inside their mind and other peoples you don't even know. In school, you learn by someones actions or the look on their face what kind of mood they are in. Not many people go through being famous in school, but I guess that goes with popularity to. I mean you do kinda learn if you are a popular kid in school. There are always the rich and poor kids in school and you learn how to be what you are, but just because your rich doesn't mean you have to act like it either. So I would like to say that they are wrong because school does teach you a lot worth knowing, It is just that the stuff that really matters we have to learn on our own because everyone handles things differently so you cannot teach that stuff in a class. You learn more throughout school about life than most of us realize.

Writing Prompt #12
If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be and why?
If I could change 1 thing I would change how much people care. Honestly, in our society today no one cares except a select few. If people actually cared about one another and put other things like their choices and everything a side this world would be an amazing place. Everyone will who they want to be and people need to learn to accept that and look past it and actually care about them even if they don't know them. War would not be an issue and people would help each other more. No one would be judged by their actions but instead of what they actually do. I hate being judged for my actions, but hey its what makes me, me, so they can deal with it in my book.

Writing Prompt #11
What is your legacy? What are you leaving behind for others? (or what do you hope you are leaving behind for others) Another way to think of this question: how do you want to be remembered by future students? Or do they want to remembered at all? If not, why not?
I hope my friends and fellow students learn from my personality to have fun and enjoy your years in high school. I would rather be remembered for my personality and sports and school work rather than some other actions I have done. I haven't done anything bad like drink or drugs, but there is at least one thing I know no one will forget if they know me... so I would rather be remembered for being happy and having fun rather than my one mistake I've done. If I do get remembered for that one thing, I would like people to think of the positive side like I learned from and for them not to make the same mistake I did. How people remember me is their choice not mine.. But i would rather be remembered for the good things I've done.

Writing Prompt #9
If you could create a movie of your life, who would you cast and what would the story be?
I would have Sean Faris play me, Harrison Ford as my father, and Jamie Leigh Curtis as my mother. The story would be about my high school life and everything that is going on at school and at home. There are too many actors to pick for everyone that would be in the movie so I just picked the ones that are in my house well besides my niece and nephew.

.
I picked these 3 as my favorites because they all describe
my life right now in some way. They all have a different part of my life.
The first one means
to me that basically everything it says is true and is right to me. It means
live each day with no regrets, treat people the way they treat you, and I do
believe everything does happen for a reason and life will change all of us and
it will be hard but that is part of life. No one has ever said that life would
be easy. I completely agree because life is getting harder for me every day, in
more ways than one.
The second one actually describes my life rather well
because some people don’t think the best of me right now because of some things
they have heard, but they should ask me instead of believing others. I am still
living my life and I don’t care what other people think or say because I know
the truth and always will and if they want to know they can ask. I am trying to
let this not affect my life and live the way I think I should and make the best
of it.
Well the third is explained in the first 2. People should be
real behind your back and to your face. There is no point in talking behind
someone’s back if you cannot say it to their face. Plus, if you don’t know
their story you have no right to judge them.
