summer jobs
Today's blog topic is summer jobs. A lot of teens in high school try to get summer school, as most of them have the whole summer off of school, which could give them plenty of time to get a little bit of money, but as we all know, lots of money doesn't come free. Summer job's often have to actually be applied for before summer, because if you ask a little while after summer starts, everyone else would have already taken summer jobs, and they employer won't need any more people. Probably the most common place where people take summer jobs, is fast food restaurants like McDonalds, Burgerking, Subway, or anything like that. These restaurants need a lot of people because like McDonalds, Tims, and other restaurants it's open 24/7. Summer jobs normally only get minimum wage. Since you won't be working for too long, and seeing as you just started.

A breath of fresh air
Today's blog topic asks to write about "a breath of fresh air" and what to talk about those words. Well in the sense the school is referring to is the relief of stress or depression or any "heavy" emotion, by maybe the words of someone, or an inspiration through people, nature, or many other things. People can be relieved pretty easily, and others are more difficult. Sometimes a breath of fresh air is juts what we need for inspiration to continue, because we can all agree life gets hard, and a breath of fresh air every now and then helps us to keep going. If we do not get this "fresh of breath air" we wouldn't have any release from the stress of life, and we drown in ourselves and our problems. we can give breaths of fresh air to other, as other people can give them to us.

pros and cons of KD
Today's blog asks what are some good things about KD, and what are some bad things. I guess one thing about kd that's good is that almost anyone can make it. Another good thing is that it doesn't take very long to make. It's also not very expensive. Another thing is it all comes in one package, so you don't need many ingredients to cook, just what comes in the package. I also like the taste of kd I guess, I have it for lunch at school every now and then. One bad thing about it, though it's not that big of a deal, is that you need to use milk and margarine/butter, but like I said that's not much of a bother. Another bad thing about KD is there isn't much in one package, if I were going to have a normal meal I would need at least half of the package to myself, if not more. It's also not very fulling unless in large quantities. KD can also be very messy, seeing that the noodles can fall off of your utensil easily, and onto the floor or table.

Will wii or won't wii?
Today's blog topic asks a weird question"will wii or won't we?" I'm not exactly sure what I think about that, I think they're asking a yes or no question, and just putting the "wii" we started using the wii in school. So I have to make up a question relating to if we will or won't do something. One question can be will we every have a peaceful society without violence? I doubt it, to many people get easily corrupted, sometimes by themselves. Another will we or won't we question can be. Will we ever find a currency system that doesn't require money? I suppose we could, I don't know much about the money system, all I basically know is that most food comes from farms, and companies take that food, and other foods, and mix it into there own product. That's all I know about how food works. How about will we ever visit any other planets? Or travel outside our galaxy, or will we be stuck in the places we got to so far? There aren't many will we or won't we questions I can think of, but I think that's what today's journal was about to me.

Motivation and achievement
Today's blog asks me to write about how motivation relates to achievement. I think motivation plays a big part in achievement, one cannot do something properly unless motivated in his/her mind. The best kind of motivation, is the kind you can give yourself, it's hard to motivate yourself most of the time, but when you do, that kind of motivation gives you a permanent, or at least lasts for a god time, change. Well that's what i've thought of it so far. There are different kind of motivation. There's motivation where you suddenly realise what you have to do, or need to do, or basically just want to do. There can be motivation where you learn from other people, mabye you see something happen, or hear about something, and you relate it to yourself. Other people could motivate you with the right words. I find if someone else were to motivate me they would have to know exactly what to say without me telling them, or else I wouldn't really consider it anything more than them repeating what I said but in slightly different words.

Dangers of email accounts
Today’s blog topic asks what are the danger of email accounts. There are several dangers of having an email account. You can get spammed from people or a website and end up having a million of the same message over and over and you would have to go through your entire inbox to delete them. You can also get viruses easily from emails, and it could come through a friend accidently. If your friend gets a virus because he did not know what he was clicking was a virus, then he has the virus and it automatically sends it to people on your account. So the person you got the virus from probably isn’t the original source of this, seeing as it could have gone through a hundred different people before it actually got to you. These viruses can hack your passwords to several websites, and possibly worse things such as a bank account number, or your conversations can be watched by them, or many other different things.

Effects of bullying
Today's blog topic asks me to write about bullying and how it affects the individual and society. Bullying can effect the individual not only at that specific time, but also there mind in the future. They could develop a hatred for other people, or a trust issue, or lacking in self-confidence. Bullying on society puts us in a more barbaric state than we already are. I've always wondered why nobody thinks it's weird when an adult commits some kind of act of violence, it doesn't really seem they wanna have a reason why. It's only when a kid does it that people wonder why they did it. When one of the most violent things kids are involved in are sports, which the U.S. and Canada are very concentrated on. Does it show people that physical strength is more important than intelligence or knowledge? It could be something as simple as the first race in kindergarden when the parent is yelling"get the white flag get the white flag!" then, "i got the blue flag" oh well thats ok, or the sports parents at football games are yelling"kill them kill them!"
