Wow.. after Tuesday I'll never be in leadership. Honestly it makes me want to cry.
That class has made me grow up and realize that I am a part of idci. Thank you mr. Tompkins.. for everything you taught me. I've definitely think you've done a wonderful job in teaching leadership. And I'm glad you were my teacher.
You'll always be my favorite teacher, and I hope I get another class with you someday. Because it's never really a "class" with you, it's like having a second family.
I'll miss everyone.

Holiday Hampers;
well I feel very bad because I was supposed to help with the first shift.. But my mom was sick all night. So I stayed up helping her, and making sure she was alright. I was going to help out with the second shift to make up for it, but there was already so many people going that I got asked to stay behind and help people learn the dance for idols.
I wish I could have helped.. and Learned more from the experience. But I know I will help next year, because I believe everyone should get a chance to feel like they've helped someones lives.

wow, honestly.. I think that in a way.. it's sad no one stopped to listen. But in the same aspect.. If you're late for work you have a chance at being fired. I think everyone needs to stop for a bit in their day and think of everything beautiful around them, what they've seen or what they heard.
We need to cherish those things, because if we don't stop and realize what we're missing.. our lives will become boring and tiredsome. (sorry for a short post.)

blog 14! My last lecture,
Well I'd start off my speech talking about how scary grade nine is, and that things get better. But to not fall into the pressures of high school. That you don't have to lose your virginity to be cool, to fit in. You don't have to have kissed a boy, wear shirts that you can see your vagina out of.. shirts your boobs barley stay in. You don't have to be a slut.
Boys, you don't have to go to the gym every day, you don't have to join as many sports teams as you can. You don't have to go to all the parties and sleep with as many girls as you can. Lead girls on. you don't have to be a man whore.
Teenagers need to screw society. BE YOURSELF. Girls, you don't have to be a 00, with hair to your but, wearing name brand things to be beautiful. Boys, you don't have to drink all the time or have a 6 pack. be different, be you. Because no one else is.
It's easier said than done, I do it sometimes.. but I'm starting to break off from the "high school standard" I stopped trying to please the people around me, and started pleasing myself. I'm me, and a lot of people don't like it. But I don't care, because so many more people love it about me. Keep your friends close, because they'll be there for you until the end. Dont worry about stupid fights, you fight the most with the people you love.. because you know in the end they'll always be there for you. They'll be your family. Don't let society tell you how to run your life, you're special. And you'll be that way no matter what you look like, act like, or dress like.

how I'd like to change the world.
I wan't to stop animal cruelty. I'm sick of people miss treating their pets. I love my baby kitty, and couldn't imagine hurting her. I want to stop crying on the commercials where they talk about animals being beat and abandoned, I want it all to stop! I want to do a fundraiser maybe to help donate to an animal shelter close to town. I could sell food: cookies, cupcakes brownies.. all that sorta things.
This is important to me because I love animals. I love laying on my bed cuddling with kitty. And animals have feelings, and just because they can't talk.. doesn't mean they shouldn't get the chance to be hurt. Two years ago my dog got put down. Because she was too old. She was a pitbull. An animal that had gone through so much. Because idiots beat and starve them, then make them fight. People try to find homes for them after they get rescued but because they have been given a horrible uprising they become dangerous. Well my dog wouldn't hurt ANYONE. But when people heard she was a pitty, they got scared. It's pathetic.
I want to carry it out by doing it every year. I want more people to help adopt animals, and I want to make a difference. I'll try my hardest to help at least 30 animals get adopted a year. And I'm going to try to raise 200 dollars for the shelter.

So, half way through.. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it. I don't want to leave this class. I love being in it everyday.. It's what I look forward to. But thinking about at the begining of the semester.. I've changed quite a bit.
I have broke out of the bubble that stops someone from being different.. or being afraid to stand out. Now I like standing out, I like acting silly with my class. I like doing something and seeing everyone smiling.
If I see garbage in the hall I pick it up, I ask others to do the same. I try to have a positive attitude..Even if I think school sucks.
I've learned that in highschool, you don't have to be on a sports team, or in a club to be a part of the school. You just have to care. Our leadership class has done so much for the school, and I feel a part of it. I like it, and I've also learned that even if things don't go as planned.. they can still turn out great!
I think I need to learn to take peoples advice, sometimes I don't.. And I need to keep calm in a hard situation. I'm not very good with my temper.
As I continue to be a leader though out my life, and education.. I will encourage others to stand out and be themselfs. I read a quote the other day, and I thought it was amazing. "Be curious, not judgmental" by Whalt Whitman. I thought a lot of people aren't curious enough to try something new in highschool, they just do what they normally do, and stay under the radar; and everyone at highschool is judgmental. Well IT NEEDS TO STOP. I am becoming a leader, I'm not sure what kind just yet.. But a leader I am.
