Today's Day

Today

I’m not having a very good day. A lot of things are going on and I just don’t understand why these things have to go on all in one day. I am going through many things and right now I don’t have any motivation to do anything. I’m very stressed and I just wish things were a lot better today. One of my really good friends is leaving today and I don’t want him to. Today is another day in which I feel like doing nothing. I want to leave and do other things and not be here at school because I feel like if I stay here I might be rude to anyone especially my teachers.

Dear Principal

I am currently attending San Pasqual Academy where foster youth stay. I am a sophmore and I am very concerened about the pink slips. From what I understand the teachers who have not been here very long recieved a pink slip because there is not enough money to pay them. I would like to see my teachers stay because I like them and they have built relationships with us. I feel like if they left, there would be teachers who take their place and wouldn't want to be here. As a student at San Pasqual I feel like we should be able to speak out for our teachers and see what we can do to help save their jobs. I understand that you really can't do anything but if there is anything that we can do please let me know.

P.S Thanks for reading this letter
Sincerely, Alexis Hodges

"Response to President Obama"

““In a global economy where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, a good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity – it is a prerequisite. It is our responsibility as lawmakers and as educators to make this system work. But it is the responsibility of every citizen to participate in it. So tonight, I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training. . . . And dropping out of high school is no longer an option. It's not just quitting on yourself, it's quitting on your country – and this country needs and values the talents of every American. These education policies will open the doors of opportunity for our children. But it is up to us to ensure they walk through them. In the end, there is no program or policy that can substitute for a parent – a mother or father who will attend those parent/teacher conferences, or help with homework after dinner, or turn off the TV, put away the video games, and read to their child. I speak to you not just as a president, but as a father when I say that responsibility for our children's education must begin at home.”
This quote applies to my fellow peers and I because it is our responsibility to make good decisions. Therefore, if we don't make good decisions it hurts both ourselves and others just like President Obama said. As for myself I honestly believe that us youth around the world should take advantage of all the opportunities we are given, and that we should be able to satisfy ourselves and make both ourselves and others around us happy that we got a higher education example if we decide to attend college. Our generation should make an effort to obtain a higher education because it betters both ourselves and others, and it determines what and how everything will be like in the future. Our generation should strive to complete at least an Associates Degree. This concept inspires me to achieve a higher education to better myself and my country. This also inspires me because as a foster youth I wasn't given a very decent life. I moved around a lot and it caused many changes for me so therefore I do not take things for granted especially my education.
