My worse educational experience was when I was in the fourth grade where my teacher was pregnant and couldn't go through the entire year. The school instead of trying to hire someone that could replace her for the year decided to just keep finding substitutes for the class so throughout that year my class went through eleven different teachers. I think that the school should have been more responsible and take in consideration for the students best interest and hired someone on a permanent basis.
The best schooling experience that I can recall was the fact that my 8th grade teacher told me when I was struggling in a certain was that not to get upset or worry because there are many more things in life more tragic then a simple bad grade. The reason I take that to heart is because that very true because you sit there and get all worked up over a bad grade, which means that you are kind of putting a bad grade in the same category and say someone passing away. That is two very different categories. OK you get a bad grade so work harder on the next assignment and get a good grade on that.

Family:#1
This I Believe
In my time so far I have had my obligation to take care of my family to go on as my grandmother, my aunt with Down syndrome, and my mom who was recently diagnosed with cancer. My grandmother since I was in eighth grade had two heart attacks and then was told she had congestive heart failure. Since she found that out my mom and I sold our house and moved in to take care of her and my aunt. My senior year in high school was the time that she was getting worse; she was getting scared so she would ask me to stay up with her which then would be entire night so I would basically go to school with no sleep. The thing that really hit me the most was that it was her last week and she kept asking me what the date was and then finally on October 8 she passed away which was the anniversary of her mother’s death.
Now that my grandmother had passed all the focus went to my aunt with Down syndrome and Alzheimer’s. I would basically wake up feed my aunt, give her her medicine, go to school, and then come home until we went to bed. My aunt is basically the most loving person that you will ever meet but has been given to her a terrible disease. Then in the summer of ’07 my mom was diagnosed with cancer which needed surgery so we would pay money to have someone watch my aunt so I could visit her in the hospital for a little while and then I would come home and take care of my aunt. Now my days are to wake up, go to school, soccer, and go home to take care of them until they go to sleep.
Family is the most important thing in anyone’s life. The reason that I say that is because they took care of me when I was younger so now it’s my responsibility to take care of them with no excuses or complaints. I think without family life is dry and meaningless. This I Believe!

The World of Texting
I would call our generation the "Texting" generation. The reason that I would call us this generation because no matter what the young people of today weather its cell phones or computer we are texting to everyone and anyone. It seems like the more advanced things out we need in our lives. We can't just have the things that work we have to be ahead of everyone.
