Creativity
Sir Ken Robinson, a speaker at the Ted conferences shard his outlook on how creativity is used in the school system. Creativity is exploring you mind and showing who you are. We express our creativeness in our life every day by what we were and the way we talk or act. But I think the school system needs to bring more classes into the curriculum dealing with the arts. If schools can put more classes in that deal with being healthy and more gym classes, then why can’t we have classes dealing with the arts? And I’m not just talking about just adding another drawing or music class. Why not add a photography class or drama class that is not just a club. The problem with clubs is time; kids in sports do not have the time to go to classes, practice, and then a club meeting, it is too much stress. But the problem with adding these classes comes with teachers and time in the day. Art classes are not required to graduate so a person who wants to get into a good college is not going to waste time sitting in a class they would like. They are going to try to cram as much knowledge into their brain with good grades to get accepted to a good school. So why don’t schools require at least one year of art classes.

MARCH
Well it is that time again, March. I love March for many reasons; it is my birthday, it gets warm, spring break, and my cousin is getting married. First my birthday, I am turning nineteen on the fourteenth. I don’t know what we are doing yet. I do know that I am going out with some friends to Applebee’s. I have never gone out to eat on my birthday and I’m excited. As for getting together with family that may not happen this year. My oldest brother Charlie lives in Chicago. And with all that is going one with school and getting things around for my cousins wedding it is going to be busy. In addition the bay before my birthday is the Royall youth wrestling meet. I love to go and get together with everyone and talking. As well I have many little cousins and friends with kids that wrestle and it is so much fun watching them. After my birthday is spring break, time to relax. I wish that would happen. We do not know what we are doing for table decorations or in the hall for the wedding. I am starting to freak out. There are so many things I would love to do but it would cost a way too much and we don’t have the time. Other than working on the wedding for spring break I am going to lie down and rest up, because I have been sick almost all semester and can’t get over it. I also don’t want to be sick for the wedding on the twenty-seventh. After spring break it will be back to classes. Once I am back for two weeks it will be wedding time. I am so nerves. We have rehearsal at three and then have to decorate the hall. I hope all goes well because I don’t want to be up all night. Other than my busy life there are twelve other birthdays in my family that are going on and we will be celebrating. So I am sorry if I’m cranky some days but that is how my life is with all this stress right now.

I wish
Three wishes. If I was granted three wishes to make the world better it would be hard to pick which three I would want to use.
My first wish is that all the pens, markers, and canyons that get thrown away at stores because they are missing a color or broke will be donated to the Boy’s and Girls Clubs. I work at the Hamilton Club and it is hard to color when half the markers don’t work because they get used so much, and we can’t afford new ones. Or a cap gets left of the marker; it is hard to make sure all the caps are on because you have to watch all the kids to. To accomplish this wish I would ask all the stores to donate the markers and canyons that they just throw away. I would also ask people to donate their old colors to the clubs. I would make a commercial that could be shown on TV to help prompt and tell the stores what I’m trying to do.
For my second wish I would like all high schools to have new computers that work faster. I attended a small high school with hand me down computers. When we where to go type a paper it would take us up to ten minutes to get on to the computer. I wish that the state will donate all their computers that are a year or two old to the schools. It is hard to work on a slow computer and get things done. And when education is very important I would think we could have faster computers. Children need to learn how to use them because everything is be transferred to computers.
For my last wish I would like to see every child have a coat and gloves to ware. Where I work I see kids without a jacket when it is freezing cold outside. It is too cold for them to be running around. It would help lower the amount of children being sick at schools. I would like the stores to donate the coats they don’t sell. Give yarn to nursing homes so the ladies could make gloves to give the children.
