Being Honest

Personally, I believe that everyone should always be honest because if you lie about ANYTHING, the truth will always come out. When the truth finally does come out, it will hurt the other person because they did not get to hear the honest opinion of someone and the person they asked for an opinion on, has lied to their face. There have been times where my best friend has lied to me and I have become upset and did not wish to speak with him for quite some time. I do not understand why people should lie about something simple. If the situation is necessary to lie, such as a life or death situation, then I believe the person should lie. If I had to lie to someone to save their life, I would. Other than that, I do not believe in lying. The truth will always be heard in the end. Whether it be soon from when the lie had been told or after (including years or even decades) the truth will be heard.

Struggles, Acoomplishments and Goals

          Being in Early College can be tough. Of course it is not like a normal high school, but it can be pretty easy at times as well. I am a firm believer of "what you put in, is what you get out." During my high school experience I have encountered many struggles; although throughout these struggles, I have accomplished more and will soon reach my goals.
         High school has been a great experience. Over this time, although, I have faced many problems. One of my greatest struggles is the fact that I do not take the time to study. I believe, because of this, it causes other academic struggles. This includes not being able to to understand Physical Science very well and not being able to remain  higher than a B.
        Although I have had many academic struggles, I have also had accomplishments. At one point this year, I received a D in Physical Science and was required to attend tutoring. The tutoring honestly helped and I started to study harder to help myself understand the material. After all my hard work, I raised the grade from a D to a B. Physical Science was the only course that I did not receive an A or B in; but now because I raised it to a B, I have a GPA of 3.0.
      I am very pleased with my GPA of 3.0, but I have a goal of reaching a GPA of 3.2. This would be require getting at least three A's on my report card. Next year will be college classes and I hope to get higher grades or remain at a 3.0 GPA. My greatest accomplishment within the next six months, would be to receive a GPA of 3.2 or higher.
       During my high school experience I have encountered many struggles; although throughout these struggles, I have accomplished more and will soon reach my goals. Soon, I hope to graduate with my associates degree and move on to becoming an ultrasound technician.

Bullying

I believe people bully online because of petty jealousy issues or the fact that people are just down right mean. I believe many people envy those who they may believe are better looking than them or are jealous of how smart the other person is. For example, on television, they portray that many "nerds" being bullied. They also portray that the bully may have issues at home; they may want to take that anger and frustration out on someone- therefore they bully the "nerd." Online bullying most likely happens because someone envys another person's looks, life-style, or family. I also believe they may be too scared to say something to the person in person so they bully online. If this were to happen and I was present, I would most likely make sure the person being bullied was okay and sure that the bully was doing that being they are insecure and the person being bullied was fine with nothing to worry about.

WRONG AND RIGHT

I do not believe it is right to take things that do not belong to one but to another person. I believe if someone wants something, they must work for it themselves to get it. There are many people who work hard everyday to make a living to try to provide for their families. As the caption basically says, the woman had her home taken away from her because of someone else's mistakes. Whoever sold her the house, probably never told her that the home was built on illegally sold property. It was not right for them to take away her home when she personally did nothing wrong. They should have taken the case to court given the women a notice to find a new home. This was wrong of them to just demolish her home. In any case or scenerio, it is wrong for others to take other's belongings.
