I believe knowledge is power. This is why I love to educate myself but this is always why I hate talking about my thoughts. The more people know about me, the more power they have over me. Power to help but more importantly and more terrifying, power to hurt. Due to this, the concept of blogging freaks me out. My thoughts have been the only thing that I could rely on to be my own. Sharing them for anyone to read is scary but I am pushing myself to get out of my comfort zone. I am not sure how to start this so I think I'll start small. These are some thoughts I jotted down from a few years ago.
People are so quick to say they believe in something, when
it means benefits for them. When it actually comes to taking a penalty,
suddenly, no one believes in the cause anymore. Don’t you understand? Stand up
for what you believe in and stand strong but don’t get mad when your feet get
sore. Don’t be afraid to pay the consequences.
The majority of the student body thought that the walk out
was a good idea and applauded the teachers for taking off on Thursday to stand
up for themselves. Now that we are having our early releases taken away, people
are mad at the teachers. They say, “Why should we be punished for what the
teachers did?” Well the answer, is simply, why shouldn’t we be? Would the
teachers have called in sick without the support of their students? Did we not
fuel the fire? I will gladly go to school on the early release days. It proves
that I was not afraid to let the world know that I think this bill is wrong.
