30 Day Challenge: Day 6

124.What outrages you? (Wake Forest)

The night before I am assigned my job,
To wake up in the morning and take my dogs for a walk.
I need to snap out of sleep early, get up , get changed,
Just to hear my dogs barking impatiently.
Then i realize there is homework to be done,
So i curse myself for opting for this position.

School is a crazy place,
Students try acting too smart, or too cool,
They really do not know their place.
Students who suck up, and find their grade's rising to an A.

Teachers do not realize the amount of work they give us,
They do not understand that we already have test and other work due that day,
But still they expect us to finish their work.       
There has been all work no play.

I get a bad grade, later in the day,
I get laughed upon because of my grade,
I get counseled on the grade by the teacher,
I get more counseling by my friends,
I get scolded when I reach home,
And then more counseling on working hard.

I have had a bad day, but it hasn’t gotten worse,
My sister,  she does not study, she fools around at home,
My mother scolds me for her acts,
I end up cleaning after her.

Then another whole lecture , asking me accept the problem,
And I accept, in the corner I see my sister giggling.
I am outraged at myself for not having having the courage to step up,
I can not change that, beacuse i am like that,
I have too much tolerance and patience,
I can not fight back.



  

30 Day Challenge: Day 5

126. How do you feel about Wednesday? (U of Chicago)
 

Just another day in paradise, living in the Queen of the hills, Mussoorie (India). Winter is coming and each day feels shorter, and less exciting. Each day feels like a Wednesday, and each Wednesday feel like another day, except for Fridays. I have no feelings for a Wednesday, or any other day in the cycle. On very rare occasions, I feel happy to know that the week is closing in on a Friday, and that Wednesday makes me excited. On an average I have the least or no homework at all, no test, quizzes on a Wednesday, but because of my participation in my English class, my Wednesdays have become like every other day, except for Friday, actually I am starting to think that I have never had work on a Wednesday, and I used to feel great. Wednesday is a good day to re- thinks your thoughts and schedule for the remaining week days and weekend. I do not know how to answer this question properly, because my answer could change every time regarding what happened during g the week ahead, or how great my day is. I have noticed that my Wednesday evenings are probably the best parts of the day, I have my chance to play the squash. The squash room is mostly always empty. Playing squash become the highlight of the day. I think that after thinking and writing about this day , I might change the way I think about this day and appreciate more than other days.

30 Day Challenge: Day 4

117.Hiking to Understanding

School and home, the only places where I am bound by certain rules and regulations. Teachers complaining and homework just flowing in day after day, my parents asking me to study and complete chores. I try to find space and time to run, some place away form this chaos, and i find myself signing up hikes on the weekends

Every time i find myself putting my name on a piece of paper hanging on the board with other papers looking for runners, or sending an email to the person on charge leading the hike i desperately wait for that day. Day and night hoping to run away. I run to be away from problems i face every day, problems i cannot keep up with, problem that just crush me and keep me broken. As i get out, and start walking i fee like my burden, my problems slowly disappear. Without the concern of what i need to do at home or school, i get my chance to see understand. Walking through the hills and mountains, surrounded by evergreen trees and changing landscape i am amazed a nature’s beauty. At every step towards by destination I promise to have left my issues back within the walls that haunt me, and enjoy and learn the lesson that nature has to offer.

As time progresses, I understand i have the time to reflect on my life, my past, present and my future. I understand that running is not the solution; i have to concentrate and focus on my understanding of the goals i plan to pursue. Watching the plants and animals that I perceive on my route, I feel that I can do better in life, by watching them as they try to survive amongst us invading their lands and kicking them out of their homes.

When I feel that I have satisfied  my problems  of running, it is understood that I must go on, face my challenges with pleasure and live on to meet the next day.

30 Day Challenge: Day 3

113. Talk about how a person can change his direction.


Humans get lost everyday. Some in their thoughts, in their work, and sleep. to change a person's direction she/he needs to be lost.There is always the question of what he/she could have done, can do , and will do in their time of need. Changing your direction is a big question. It depends on how it will affect your life, as well as others that participate in your life. Normally, when a person is lost, he/she asks someone, asks for directions,or maps etc. When people are aren't present he/she reads signs  form objects, animals  or the environment might lead them in the right direction. When nothing or nobody is around and it all depends on what person thinks they should do or not do, then they need to secure themselves from the outside world. Focusing on what the person wants and not what other want or think about their choice.The person needs to have control over their surrounding environment and themselves to blend it according to his/her choice. They needs to have a clear conscience. The person needs to see where they are going, for without any knowledge they will get lost and circle back to this option. The person needs to have a set of beliefs that he/she can follow, they could follow the path of their god, or let the universe unfold as it does. 

Don’t write about reverse psychology. (U of Chicago)

What is reverse psychology? I do not know, but I do know that Call of duty Modern Warfare 3 is releasing on the eight of November this year.It is a single player/ multi player game. The game started of just as Call of Duty, the story of the game was based on World War one, and two. The makers of the game Infinity Ward and Activision wanted to go beyond these themes. So they have started to use modern day problems, use of terrorism and how the army fights them. The storyline, the graphics, the guns and other objects have been improved and made more real in each release of the Call of Duty game. The game now is based on the future World War three.Many gamers have been waiting for the new release, people have pre ordered games for the X Box,PS3 and other consoles. There have been numerous trailers on  the game.

30 Day Challenge: Day 2

18.What invention would the world be better off without, and why? (Kalamazoo)

 The amount of money, labor and resources which was put in to uses, have  gone to waste by building a monument called School.The invention of  the school, was a horrible idea.The world is out there, somewhere waiting for us.Learning needs to be done outside the walls of a school, it always works, subjects become more interesting and answers to questions are solved.  Schools have become the grounds for corporal punishment and ragging and bullying.Schools are set up for different social classes. Private schools are as bad as public schools. Private one's cost a lot, teachers do not need a teaching degree, less choice of subjects, students need to pass entrance exams, and they are always religious based schools. On the other hand, public schools are as bad. Larger class size, outdated books, classes are taught at mediocre levels.Schools think they  are preparing us for the world, making us good/better citizens( maybe they are), Giving us an education for a world of difference,(Woodstock School),Dedicated to producing leaders for future( Doon School.) What do these phrases mean? Schools are ranked among others comparing how well educated, diverse  their students and teachers are, how big or small the campus is.  Some schools mandate prayer.  We students have to wear uniforms. Many people think a uniform increases discipline.Does it? Schools are not what they are supposed to be, they should not be put into use.  Why do we need to be bound by rules and regulations, why do we need a name tag that tells people where we are from and treat us that way? What happened to human rights? I personally do not hate schools, I just hate the idea of sitting inside, and reading out of a book. I have nothing against the the schools mentioned above, I just do not see an idea of having a complex phrase to express the word Knowledge.
