Believe in yourself

   Since bullying has become an everyday part in our school systems some children learn to look at themselves in negative way. When growing up and being bullied every day, the kids learn to hate themselves. They look at themselves in a negative way. They believe that they are worthless because of the bullies. This causes low self-esteem, and unhappiness in them. Students should learn not to listen to the hurtful things that are being said to them. If someone begins to look down on themselves all the time they should try to do some creative things to show themselves they are smart. They can keep a journal and write down one positive thing that happened to them that day. There are many ways to have a positive outlook on life. You can also try joining a club that helps other people. For example most schools have a Leo Club. You can also try joining a sport to get all your angry out of you. It isn’t a good idea to try keeping all your angry built up inside of you. There is always going be a few people who are going to be mean to you or pick on you. The key is to ignore them. They want a reaction from you. If these problems continue, go to a teacher or the principal. They will help you. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Each day a person is diagnose with a reading disorder. No one is alone. Even if your disorder is different that doesn’t mean you don’t have anything in common with other people. They both will have to deal with an everyday struggle just to keep up in the class room. Don’t be afraid to join in with your class. It may seem scary especially if there is a person making fun of you. If you do your best in class and try hard every day, the bully would then feel like an idiot for making fun of someone who is trying. Remember violence is never the answer. Nothing good ever comes from dealing with violence. Someone can get severely injured even if their innocent bystander. Remember keep your head high and be proud for who you are.

My Blog :Famous people who have Disorders

   Many people believe that if you have a reading disorder you can’t amount to anything in life, which is a very untrue statement. There are many people who have reading disorder and they are able to accomplish many things in their lives. One person who struggle with dyslexia is Jay leno. When he was in school he mostly got C’s and D’s. He wanted to attend Emerson College in Boston the admissions officer told him he was not qualified. He was determined to get in to the college. He sat out in a waiting room for 12 hours each day for five days a week until they let him in the college. He believes that his dyslexia help him become the determined, strong person he is today. Another person who has dyslexia is Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise comes from a poor family. His family moved a lot when he was growing up. He has a reading disorder just like his mother has. When he wasn’t successful in academics, he focused his attention on playing sports. Unfortunately he suffered from a knee injury. When he was in high school he was in a few plays. His mother encouraged him to be an actor and with his mother’s support he focused his energy on being an actor. He didn’t let his dyslexia stop him from becoming an amazing actor he is today. Another person who has Dyslexia is Whoopi Goldberg. When she was growing up she was picked on a lot. Many of the kids called her dumb, when she wasn’t. She didn’t know she had a reading disorder until she was an adult. She learned how to cope with it and went on with her life to become a successful American entertainer. Another famous person is Pablo Picasso. Even with his disorder it was quite obvious he had talent for art. Picasso painted things as he saw them out of order backwards and upside down. Despite the struggles each of them had to deal with during their lives they were able to become successful for they all had special talents. They didn’t let their reading disorder hold them back from becoming who they wanted to be.

Symptoms for Reading Disorder

  All Reading Disorders are different, two are not the same. They are many different symptoms and signs that your child might have a reading disorder. If you think your child has it or matches the symptoms you would want to get it checked out as soon as possible. If you ignore it and the older they get the window of opportunity to help them to deal with it will close and they won’t truly learn how to deal with it. One of the signs is if your child can’t say words properly at the age of two. If they are having difficulty saying syllables or single words that have a specific sound, also if they have difficulty with rhyming. Another sign is if they switch words or letters while reading and writing. If they also can’t determine the meaning of a simple sentence that can be a sign they might have a Reading Disorder. If you want the best for your child you should consider getting them checked out just in case. If your child does have a Reading Disorder the best things you can do is love and support your child. There is many ways you can help your child. One of the first things you must do is make sure the school knows they have a reading disorder so they can help and give them the attention that they deserve. It also helps if you practice with them. Trying to make them read out loud to you every night is another way you can help with their disorder. It also might not be a bad idea to get them a tutor for at home if you can’t help your child understand it. Putting this off and pretending it doesn’t exit will only hurt your child in the long run. The older they get the less likely they will be able to understand and deal with it. Get them help as soon as possible. This does not only affect their reading. It affects all their other subjects and their ability to understand them. It isn’t easy for a child to have a reading disorder of any kind they are going to have deal with it for rest of their lives.

Choice 1/10-1/14

      I don’t like choice blogs at all. Frankly none of the blogs this week were that good. Were you even trying Mr.Currin. If so well let’s just day I’m not surprise. I guess I can talk about how ignorant some people can be but then that will get be all worked up and extremely sad. Todays were not a good day for me. I wish today could have been more fun. I hate when people just ruin my whole day just by saying stupid things. I can’t think of anything happy or good to say about today. I guess I can say I had fun in gym playing ultimate Frisbee. I knock a few in the air. Then I can talk about how no one would even pass me the Frisbee when I am open. Then they pass it to someone else and their not even open. Doesn’t that annoy you? In the end my team won. But I could care less about that I mean it isn’t fun winning when you didn’t help in the game or even had fun. I guess I just going to have live with it. Well I hope tonight will be better. I also hope tomorrow is extremely better and what has happen today will be forgotten if not will my next blog will also be a very sad blog like this. Well I want talk about why else I’m so very very very sad but then that will make me even more sad then I am now. Will I have to stay after school math review I’m hoping I am going do good one the regents if I don’t will be sad. I’m also studying Spanish because I have a Spanish regents to I did really good on my speaking task I have yet to do my other one. Will that it for now I guess.

How has social networking impacted your life? 1/10-1/14

I think the Social Network had little impact on my life. I mean sure I post few things on my Facebook and read other people post but it doesn’t change my life that much. They do have cool games and quizzes on Facebook.  You know if you have like not life and stuff. I don’t like MySpace at all I have account on it and there is nothing to do on it. I cannot even remember the last time I was on it.  I think Twitter is just as worthless. I mean seriously you post comments and that’s it. Also they picked the name Twitter out of a hat. Yes yes they did I can’t remember the other names but they were all pretty stupid.  I think it is very stupid how people get random request from people they don’t even know and they accept. When I first join Facebook I got like twenty request from people I had no idea who they were. I keep all my information private on Facebook. There is no reason for other people to be snooping around. I had a cousin where people got her information and they called my grandmother’s house asking for money because their stranded and my aunt got on the phone and it scared then off. It is really sad how some people are just so desperate for money they try to rip off some old women. I really hope that never happens to me. Well now I have to write 50 more words and I have no idea what I’m going to write. There is so much to talk about I mean there is a billion subjects I can pick, like bullying, global warming, regents and more. How do I just pick one of these very interesting topics? OH lookie I’m at 300 well I guess I’m done now.

Describe your typical Superbowl Sunday 1/10-1/14

My typical Sunday is like every Sunday other Sunday except for the fact I eat all the very great junk food and my dad starts complaining that I’m eating all food. I don’t like sitting there watching sports. I love to play football but it’s just plain boring to me if I sit there and watch it. I really have nothing else to say about super Bowl Sunday. I guess if you’re a big football player this would be the blog of your dreams. If you’re just a plain ordinary girl who could care less about watching football this blog is your nightmare. My dad watches football but I don’t think it isn’t so fun for him because he doesn’t have any sons to share it with. I wonder if it is a really crap day of the Super bowl will people still go and to see it I won’t. That is plain crazy. I wonder if people whose teams don’t even make it to the Super Bowl still watch it. If I was into watching sports on tv and my team didn’t make it to the Super Bowl I still be very curious who will when it. I wonder who will win this year. I hope it’s my dad’s team. I don’t who my day team is but I’m positive that it isn’t the Buffalo Bills. He always makes fun of them. Have the Buffalo Bills every make it to the Super Bowl before?  I wish after a game someone over the announcement using sarcasm “The Bills lost again what a surprise”. I am not the only one who thinks that funny right. It will be even funnier if it was at the Super Bowl but I positive that they aren’t going to the Super Bowl anytime soon. Bye

1/3-1/7 Choice

I have discovered something that has just changed my whole world, these awesome backgrounds for our blogs. I decide to change my background today and I discover these amazing pictures. I was all like “ooohhhh”. Katie was like really then she saw them to and she said “ooohhh”. We both look through the picture scanning and applying them to our blogs wondering which ones we like best. Katie forms a love with a picture from the science pictures. She had to have it. It was a picture of outer space.  She changes her pictures as fast as lightening. I took a little longer to decide which picture I want for my blog. I wanted something that spark put wasn’t totally out there. After applying picture after picture I decide on a pink, yellow, green circle thing. Pink is not my favorite color but I like switch things up a lot. Now most of female population who had read it is most likely thinking what the heck. Most of the men most likely would have stop reading after “these awesome backgrounds”. If I’m wrong oh well Mr. Currin did say we can write about anything we want and I wrote about my amazing background, which looks awesome no matter what you say. Know Katie keeps giggling every time I say something. Today’s online publishing class is good one today. I found an article to write about and Katie has yet to beaten me up and Mr. Currin hasn’t taken a student’s face and smashing it through a monitor. Its ok we have an extra computer, no need to worry. Katie just step on my cute little toes, the she laugh evilly as I cried. I think online publishing class can be a very dangerous place to be in. Warnings do not bring small children or kittens in this room. Thank You!!! J

(P.S Thanks Katie I was doing well up to the cupcake point.)My second new year’s resolution is to have better control over my anger. My Third resolution is trying to do better in school and to do well on exams. I think 2011 is going be great year. 2010 was ok year but I want 2011 to be awesome so I’m working hard towards that cool. I’ve already trying to better myself for this year and try to have more fun too. I’m extremely excited for my 16 birthday is January 31. I’m going get my belly buttons pierce. Next fall I plan on joining the tennis team. It seems like a very fun sport. I love playing it in gym and I think I’m good at it. I want to have a summer job this year. It is most likely going to be at Darien Lake. I’m kind of hoping it will be in the shade but I know I shouldn’t get my hopes up.  I’m going try to keep up with my scrapbook this year. I did a lot of catching up over the week off. I also went ahead some. I start decorated my 16 birthday page to the extreme. It is all sparkly the page is blue sparkly and the big black letters that I use to spell out happy birthday are also sparkly. I put some stickers of birthday cake and hats on it already. I plan on add some picture to my scrapbook to. I haven’t gotten them printed. I really need them soon. Will those are my big plans for 2011. I hope it is a great year for me but for everyone to. HaPpY nEw YeAr’S.

1/3-1/7 Reflect on your 2010

I think 2010 was ok year. It was my freshman year. One of my closest friends move away and I was little sad about that. I guess one of the positives that came out of that is I met Stephanie and Val in art class. They were in most of my classes for the next half of the year.  One of the negatives of 2010 is that’s when I got my nasal problem and had it ever since last January. It stinks a lot. Will for sophomore year that was in 2010 was pretty good so far. It is way better the freshman year. I’ve been on honor roll so far. I’m trying to do honor roll for the whole year. I started a scrapbook during 2010. It looks pretty awesome. I had some really good teacher for 2010 all of them were helpful and nice. I wish I did more activities in the beginning of 2010. I’ve join the Art Club and the Leo Club. They’re both every fun Clubs we watch the Toy Store 3 in Art Club. It is an awesome movie. You got to see it if you haven’t already.  Homecoming was extremely fun I love dancing with all my friends and the bleach marathon we had had my friend’s house before we went to the dance. I love the guitar hero my group of lovely friends won. I actually had few friends in different bands. I love thing and the Hawaii theme dance after guitar hero. The judges were pretty funny. I think my overall 2010 was ok nothing special happen during that year ad nothing extremely horrible happen. I hope 2011 is better the 2010. Will who doesn’t hope for that. Will 2010 wasn’t a total failure at least it could have been way worst.
