Just Saying...

Today in my english class a student was trying to describe the features of the subsitute to our english teacher because he didn’t remember his name. The student began by saying, “he could get a wave in his hair”. Then I went, “he didn’t have hair”. The student continue, “If he did have hair he would be able to get a wave”.  The teacher didn’t know what that was nor what the student was trying to explain. Before he could continue again another student just blurts out, “He was black”. The first student said, “woah woah. I was trying to avoid that terminology”.  There are only 2 black people in that class, me and some kid that is never here, so mostly just me. I was fine when he said, “He was black”. It is not a bad word. I was not ok with the other kids explanation. He was stereotyping black people and that is not right. Because he thought black was some type of bad word.

My friend let what others tell her put her in a bad mood. I keep saying don’t let others control your day, but she keeps letting the words get to her. I decided to write it, so I could stop worrying about and not make my day bad: People let words and actions control them like puppets. You let the words and people around them pull your strings until you can do nothing, but burst. You give that person power over you by reacting the way you  do. You let the words affect you, when Youcould just choose to ignore. That is right, you have a choice to let that person not to affect your whole day. I what they said or did was bad, but just ignore it. Diminish the power that they have over you. Don’t let them be you puppet master, because you are not a puppet to manipulate.

I had this blog set up for months now. I have a notebook full of ideas to put down, but I couldn't decide which one was going to be the best first . I decided to free type the first one, so first idea that comes to my head I put down. I thought this would give you a good idea of this blog and of me. First impressions are key. They will decide if you want to come back for more. I took leap and just started typing. That is what everyone should do well with your goal. My goal is to become a known writer.  Think of your goal, right now. Now write down the steps that it takes  to reach your goal. Start them ASAP. Don't give yourself time to think of negative thoughts and time to  procrastinate. The more you do those things the less likely you are to reach your goals, so just take that leap and begin.
