Worth

   Touching on the class reading book, "Invisible Man", which (to my knowledge), delves into the topic of racial differences. So for this weeks topic, I propose we ponder the factors and steps that lead a near total loss of respect for the value or worth or individuals of a different "race", thus resulting in racial tension. Today we know that there is no difference between someone with a higher concentration of melanin that someone with a low concentration, yet still ill feelings remain. What factors in beliefs or society lead to this?

Invisible Us

Soon we will be starting to read The Invisible Man, and even though I have very little knowledge about what the book is about, the title got me thinking. What if I was invisible? Now, not the invisible like a ghost who sneaks into girls' dressing rooms, but the invisible where nobody really noticed me. I would have no real friends who I could spark interest in and relate to, no teachers or bosses who would acknowledge my good work, nobody around me who would laugh at a joke, and not even a family who would miss me when I was gone. I would be a real nobody. What would I do with my life? Would I just shrivel up and do nothing with my life? Would I run away to the wilderness to live a simply life of survival and solitude? Would I try to do ridiculous things to rouse peoples' attention? Would I go insane? What would I do to be happy, or could I ever truly be happy? Tell me what you would do with your life if you were "invisible."

Future Plans

Well, our time here is almost up. Less than four months are between us and our diplomas. For some, reality won't hit until the last moment. Others, it has hit already, the realization that we have to put on our big boy/girl pants and go out into the real world. Senioritis has taken many victims already, including myself to an extent. But it just gets me more and more stoked for what is to come, like the spring break trip and eventually graduating!

My question for you is this: where will you be a year from now?

When I was watching the Super Bowl, I couldn't help but wonder where I will be watching it from next year. Personally, I hope that I will be on some Air Force base getting hammered with some friends and having a good time (and watching the Patriots).

Memories

Senior project is over and we have moved on to our last few months as high school students. Looking back at all of our memories, it's hard to imagine where all of the time has gone. For this blog I thought we would take a trip down memory road and share our favorite high school memory. Dig deep and find something fun and memorable to you to share with the group.
