Smartphones?I do believe in our society that, on a daily basis, we use our smartphones more often than we talk to someone face to face. We use it to stay in contact with our peers. Also, it comes in handy as a music player, researching device, and even a timer or clock. Some people keep track of appointments or events in their phones. Some use them to read books, magazines and even comic books. Smartphones make for an easy GPS unit, as they are always close by. I myself like to use my smartphone to watch movies and tv shows. Studies have shown that using electronics/smartphones before going to sleep keeps your brain awake, not allowing users to fall asleep easily. I know from personal experience that electronics sometimes slows me down instead of motivating me. Smartphones slowly make your life, your movements and body language change. Take a look around the room: almost every person is on their smartphone or electronic device.
Study Hall?Students would have less school work to do at home. Athletes and other students would be able to have more time for sports and family. Generally, when people have time for anything they want to try and do well or even do more learning. Having a study hall the students would be able to ask questions to teachers and other students to make sure they understand the information they are given. Generally, when students understand the information, they get better grades. Therefore, It makes the school look better. Students that understand what they are being taught have a better chance of getting a better education, that gets them a better college, which leads to a better job. Generally, when a school does well with students graduating and learning. Plus having students from that school excelling in life and education makes them a school to look at. That school will be a looking place for their kids to learn.
"Love Is Blind"By xXBlondie99xX“Love Is Blind” By XxBlondie99xX. Hailey Baker moves in with her wealthy uncle. After being in a car accident that put her brother in a coma and put her parents to death. After six months of trying relearning how to walk after her back injury from the car accident. Even for her some days she has to be confined to a wheelchair in so much pain and sadness. Blake Adams has lived in the same town all his life. But, he hasn’t been blind all his life. Two years ago he lost his eyesight in a dirt bike accident. Most people he meets take pity on him or in his word “ they treat me like an alien” Until he meets Hailey, she doesn’t treat him like he is an alien or take pity on him. Even though he might be a complete jerk to everyone. The songs that I thought went with this book.
Sometimes people’s hidden secrets aren’t always on the surface. But deep down. The Blogs I commented on were... Melanie's Blog Kali's Blog Natalia's Blog Relax, the terminator Is Far Away I do believe sometime there will be a “robot” to help humankind. I don’t know when or how but with our human curiousness. But, I really don’t agree that we need all these types of technology. It causes more of a chance to get more addicted to having all of the internet, Wi-Fi, knowledge, videos, definition, cheats, etc. I wouldn’t want a bunch of kids to have an easy way out to learn. Or, have my life not in a living person's hands, but in a robot. With all my surgeries I like to have the feeling before and after that a person who got a the education had my face in his hands. Even though he might of shattered my left cheek entirely. I thinking some type of electronic device or ”robot” to help mankind would be an easy way out. We have all these people that don’t have jobs why don’t we get them an education and get them jobs instead of giving it to a robot. With the money we are using to build robots we could get these people into jobs so they can afford stuff for their families. So why spend the money on robots?

The couple songs I thought of and played while I read it were…
Body ImageBody Image. I know that a lot of people worry if they are too ”fat”. I know their are people out there not beautiful but for their heart. I thought for a while I was chubby, just because all the other girls were in the 120-140 pound area, and I was hitting 165. But the thing is I am 6ft and I have muscle. But, what started it was an adult told me with my height I should be hitting the 150 area. First, I was upset, then I asked several adults and they thought I was talking crazy. Out of all my friends I feel like I am one of the only girls comfortable with my body. For example we were dress shopping and they gave me a bunch of dresses to try on, and each one was too tight, too short, too small in the breast area. Yet, for each one I came out of the fitting room even if the dress didn’t fit. Some of the girls would laugh because I would say “ I think this will be perfect for the dance” or “ this one will allow me into a club”. Even though that the dresses didn’t fit I wasn’t embarrassed because it’s my body. I might not be the most athletic or the most skinny, but it is my body and I win’t be embarrassed of it. I am constantly told by adults besides the one that I shouldn’t worry. I am still young. Most women have problems with body image is because they are dissatisfied with their bodies. A Lot of women have eating disorders in the western culture. A quote I found really inspiring is “You are imperfect, permanently and inevitably flawed. And you are beautiful.” This quote is said by Amy Bloom. I believe this wholeheartedly. Your body is you. You are your body.
The blogs I commented on were Melanie's blog Andrea's blog Natalia's blog BoyfriendsI feel in the high school society that it is a ritual to have a boyfriend or girlfriend. Every book I have ever read that involved high school always had a love interest. I know reading a book about how a girl goes through high school with good grades and working hard would be boring, but it could be the truth. Truth be told, I have never had a boyfriend or my first kiss. Yeah, I have had my crushes, but it was nothing more. I have so many more better things to think about. I have my school work, horses, friends, and Netflix to keep me busy. Yeah, I do always have my “ I wonder what it would be like” moments, but from what I hear from others, it isn’t as glorious as it sounds or looks. The thing is, I am not the hugging or kissing type of person. I am a “let’s go ride horses, go see a movie, or watch netflix, or anything that sounds fun or exciting” kind of girl. As soon as I even think that I want a boyfriend, I think about my future and all the things I want to do. The quote from my mom is “you have the rest of you life for boys”. That is one of the things that keeps me in check. High school is four years that set you up for the future. You don’t want to ruin that free chance. I know I won’t. Or so I hope
Avalon High by Meg Cabot is a quick, easy book. The book is 284 pages. The author is also the author of The Princess Diaries. What happens when the characters of Camelot come to the modern world reincarnated? Ellie just moved to a new town. But it is nothing new. Her parents are professors of medieval literature. She meets the class president, star quarterback in a ravine in the middle of a park. Could he be what the legend says? Could he be the reincarnation of King Arthur? Could each of these characters be a reincarnation?
This one of my favorites. I could re-read it and re-read it. I love the idea of the reincarnation of the Camelot characters. With each of these characters, their life is sort of based on the reincarnation they are. Even though you might not know a lot about the tales of King Arthur, you will still under the story. Each chapter has a quote or allusions in the beginning of each chapter. There are also poems that are really good too. What I love about Ellie is that she isn’t the kind of girl who is like “ I am too frail to help out”. She is the kind girl that's like ” Okay, tell me what you want me to do, and I will do it” That’s the kind of girl I look up to. Now that schools are really pushing to get every student to be able to have some type of device to use. Now that each student has a device you are required to have some type of internet connection. But as you know having some type of internet connection is expensive. Not all parents are able to afford to have internet access or connection. I know from personal experience. My Mom, striving and hard working, is a single mom and she tries everything to make sure we have a roof over our heads and food on the table. Horses aren’t the cheapest of animals either. This makes me, work harder to get my school work done at school, Mcdonald’s, Cravings, or at the library. I work hard on my school work that requires internet. I have those night where I have written out papers then had to get up early to get to school so I am able to type them. On those nights I may be up till 11 or 12 AM. Even with the late nights and early mornings. This is all for the goal for my future. I want to go to college, travel, show horses, own a house and have a nice barn with and indoor arena. With all these goals I need to have good grades. To have good grades you need to work hard with or without internet.
