What do you enjoy most about summer?
Submitted by Alex.
Swimming, water fights, fishing, going to the beach, bar-b-ques/family get togethers, and hanging with family and friends.
After talking with a friend, I found out that summer school is going to cost a whole lotta money! Classes are two hundred dollars each! What happened to free summer school? Hopefully I can find some way to get the money, so that I can pass into my right grade. If not, then... I'll be an 09 instead of an 08 :( But... I've learned my lesson... I guess. I messed up, therefore I have to deal with the consequences. I hope college is a whole lot better. From what I've heard about it, I think I'll like it :) I've made a promise to myself that I was going to start going to school from now on. Everyday until the end of the school year. I know that there are going to be times that I'm going to hate myself for forcing myself to go to that boring place, but sometimes you just have to do things that you don't want to do. I don't wanna go to school, but in order for me to carry out my future plans, I have to go.
I think I'll go to bed now. I'm starting to doze at the keyboard *lol* Okay, I'm about to go climb into my warm bed and snuggle with my teddy bear and drift off into lullaby land :)
Hope all is well with you guys :) (I've noticed recently that i put these gosh dern smilies all over the place *lol*)
O yeah... I couldn't think of a good song to post, so I didn't putt one up. I'll think of one for tomorrow, or should I say later today? Anywho, goodnight/good morning fellow VOX peeps :) (there goes that dern smiley again *lol*)As I've stated before, I haven't been to school in a month! If you know me, then you know that I absolutely dislike school. I literally can not stand it! It's not because the work is hard, or because I'm having trouble with fitting in. It's because I'm bored out of my mind! Sitting in a classroom constantly reviewing the same stuff, that you've learned in elementary and middle school, over and over again is not fun at all. I'm a lil bit more advanced than most kids in my class, so of course the work is easy for me. I love to learn new things and I love challenges. School offers no of these! Now, I would have to say that I appreciate math because I do get challenged a lil bit in that area, but other than that... there aren't any challenges offered. Now, I know most people are asking, "If it's so easy, why not just do it and get it done and over with?" Just because something is easy, doesn't exactly make it easy, or should I say fun, to do (did ya'll get that... if not... it's okay. i don't even get my own self somethimes *lol*). The main problem why I don't like school is because IT'S TOO EASY, which makes it EXTREMELY BORING!
Now, If you happen to know my mother, then you know that she's not your average mother. She's the mother that everyone wishes that they had when growing up or wish that they had now. The relationship that I have with my mother is one that resembles a friendship. I can tell her anything and she understands, so I've discussed this issue with her. Now, most parents would tell their kids to suck it up and force them to go to school. My mother on the other hand, did nothing of the sort. She actually gave me the responsibility of choosing to go to school! Now, most people would look down and frown upon such a decision, and never even think of giving a child the privilege of choosing to go to school, But trust is the key word here. My mother trust that I am responsible enough to handle decision making. If I don't want to got to school, I don't have to! But I have to realize the consequences.
That towards the end of my ninth grade year. Ever since then, I haven't been to school as much as I have been. I barely made it to the eleventh grade! I only have one more year, and I fear that it'll be two more If I don't start going to school. I haven't been in a month! I'm not trying to fail on purpose, It's just that I don't want to be at school. It's depressing!
People tell me that I am responsible for making my own challenges and happiness. They ask, "Why don't you join some teams or clubs?" or "Why don't you challenge yourself outside of the school?" I would love to join some teams and clubs, but when you're in DPS, there aren't very many choices. I mean, I'm in choir and band, but that doesn't motivate me enough. I do challenge myself outside of school too, but that's not enough. I don't know, maybe I'm not trying hard enough, but I just don't feel motivated enough to go to school. Another thing is, I don't feel that anyone really cares. After being out of school for almost a month, nobody asks about it or even cares. Well, all except for one teacher, but what about the rest? Everybody notices, but they lend a helping hand. Mrs. Harton-Malabed (my choir teacher) is the only teacher that did, and I appreciate it. I truly and honestly do with all my heart. She's trying so hard to help me, but I feel that I'm letting her down. I feel bad about that, but I just can't stand school.
When you have a 4.0 student just suddenly turn into a 2.0 student, then you know that something is wrong. And like I said, It's not that I'm dumb or anything. Maybe it is me. Maybe I need to motivate myself a lil bit more. Whatever it is, I hope that I find it and fix my problem soon. I see myself walking across that stage and getting my degree with the rest of the graduating class of 08. I just need to push myself towards it.
I hope that I am explaining myself in a way that people can understand me. Yeah, this is a cry for help. Any advice or what not would greatly be appreciated :)
Well, I'm off to bed. Hope all is well for you guys :)

What's some good advice you've given to a friend, but not followed yourself?
Submitted by robbbiedobbbie.
Being the one that everyone looks up to to be there in times of need and just to confide in, of course I give a lot of advice. Sometimes it helps, other times it doesn't, but most times... it does. Here lately, I have been stressing myself out and worrying about a lot. Not too long ago, my sister was having the same problem. After coming to me to talk, I told her this: "Misty, stop worrying about what everybody else wants. It's nice to consider other people, but there are times that you have to do for yourself. Take some time out for YOU! Don't worry and stress about things that you can't handle. Worrying about something isn't going to fix the problem. Worrying only makes things worse. Fix what you can, and leave whatever you can't just be! Whenever you become stressed out or whatever, take some time to yourself and just relax. Let go, Release, Chill!"
She never took that advice, although she tried. It's bad that I didn't either. I didn't even try to! I have been worrying about so many things lately. I just can't seem to take my own advice.
Book: Show us a book everyone should read before they die.
Submitted by Rob.
The Prophet by Khalil Gibran. It is a must read! I simply love this book.
If you could pick a cartoon world to live in, which would it be? Why?
Submitted by Scio, Scio.
That's a tough question to answer. There are so many to choose from. There's Spongebob, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, The Powerpuff Girls, Doug, PepperAnn... there's just too many. Let me think on this... I would have to choose Schoolhouse Rock! I know that that was way before my time, but I frickin' love it! Why would I choose to live here, because you learn something new everyday! And not only that, but you learn something new everyday and there's a catchy song to go with what you've learned. Education combined with music! I love it!
It's a very beautiful day here in the great city of Detroit :) With sunny skies and tempratures in the 70s, who could resist being happy on this day? Nobody! *lol* Yes, we have been blessed with two beautiful days in a row! And you had better believe that everybody is out and about enjoying themselves. As you can probably tell... I am in a very good mood :) I am smiling and glowing. With the beautiful day, a relaxing time at the park (yeah... i still hang at the park... and i still fight for the swings *lol*) and the NBA playoffs, nothing can bring me down. Not even one single thought about Brian/ Chico/ Mikey... whatever you wanna call him (well... i kinda felt down about that earlier, but i shook it off and moved on. YAY!!! for me *lol*) I am totally geeked and ready for game one of the Pistons-Magic series tonight. I get excited about Piston's games like I'm on the team or at one of the games (that i will be going to one of these days). Come on seven o' clock!
Well, I don't have much to write about really. I've decided to re-post a post from facebook. It's really funny (well, i think it is *lol*) and random. I hope ya'll like it.
