Art and Music = Better Education

If I could add a amendment to the constitution I would make art and music apart of curriculum. Not just music classes but incorporated in core classes for projects and every day learning. At different grades there'd be different types at different levels. Mainly I would want this for elementary, middle school too. It has been proven art and music helps children better understand, especially if they are more right brained than left. This oppurtunity could possibly get kids who are struggling to better understand. My mother being a special needs teacher has showed me sometimes you just have to try things at a different angle and this could be another angle to try. On top of that it teaches children culture. Trips to art museums would be a healthy idea. Art and music although enjoyable teach us diversity and style. Our world is diverse and to handle other countries in their future will require the tolerance, hopefully acceptance and enjoyment, of other cultures.

"There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again."
-W.H. Auden


I wish I could believe that magic stayed alive as we grow older. Every year we wish while blowing out candles on birthday cakes for something. At a young age of 4 it was probably to be a princess, then at 10 to be a rockstar, now it's to be able to get a good paying job after going through years of college. The magic in growing up with dreams is gone. When your younger all you want is to get out of the house and be your own person but there's so much more than that, it's a lot of work. I believe that as we get older life can still be an adventure and a good time I just wish it didn't feel so impossible at this age when I look to my future.

I know a giant... that's 3'2"

Though my sister is only 3 foot 2 her size in no way fits her personality. She's very loud, and proud of it. She talks to anyone with an ear and will lead you to what she wants to do, not the other way around.
At times I think people act their height.. for say a tall stocky guy would be louder and prouder than a thinner shorter guy. But then you have to look at what for. The valedictorian would be proud to show his 4.0 test in calc while the star quarter back would be proud and confident enough to get that head  cheerleader as a date to homecoming. But switch.. they might feel a bit smaller than they did in their zone.
Now for physical beauty that is a subject of pure shrewdness. What is beauty? Is it the prettiest girl in school or is it the helpful hand and amazing character from the band room? Is it the out look we see or the inside? I feel like i would like quite decent if people saw my inside on my face and body. At times prettier and at times uglier. It would be funny to have that because everyone's face would constantly fluctuate in looks.

I am a saver. I'd prefer to wait a little for something so I can have more and or better. That is with items but with seeing friends and such its usually the opposite and it's hard for me to not want to see them as soon as possible, especially Justin. The article we read about this I found intriguing I think that people who wait would show better futures because they're patient. They let themselves learn and the observe quite well.
I think our generation is spenders. They need things now I mean look at our cell phones and ipods. Constant communication with instant replies. The access rarely is unavailable. Some is convienance some is teaching us to be inpatient.

"Where do you belong?".... Well I'll tell ya

The tribes I belong to are many and far between. I am a member of the crazy sock tribe. The cheez-it, pickle and dried mango (but not all together) tribe. I'm the leader of cold sometimes frozen chocolate icing lovers tribe. And the tribe of readers who love their kindles. The tribe who photographs the beauty of the world around us and the people and moments they share. I am very proud to be a part of 3rd generation Romanian tribe. And the  tribe of the love of culture. And the tribe of art lovers. And the tribe of twizzler eaters. The tribe of Justin lovers! And the tribe of soccer fans and one year players. The tribe of swim team leaders. And the tribe of retired figure skaters. The tribe of adventurers and people who never want to stop learning. The tribe of creative writers and new ideas. The tribe of mint chocolate ice cream lovers and bike riders. The tribe of travelers who wish to travel around the world and not lot anything stop them. The tribe of people who are overemotional. The tribe of little daddy's girls all grown up ready to learn the new way but still growing everyday. The tribe of little daddy's girls grown up that don't mind that he still calls her a princess. The tribe of broken families. The tribe of children growing up with step parents. The tribe of people with an extra place in their heart for special needs and there family :) The tribe of piano players. The tribe of singers and dancers. The tribe of people who dance crazy and don't care, laugh out loud, and sing in the shower however they please. The tribe of music lovers. The tribe of people who just love life.

To keep to myself? Or to SHOUT to the world?!?!?

I believe I can be both an introvert and extrovert. I like others but I also enjoy my alone time. Most of the time I'd have to say I'm an extrovert though being a loud people person. As I was younger I was all extrovert but now I have parts of both personalities. Introverts have it easier and harder if you think about it. They stick to themselves and don't have to be concerned about others but on the other hand they're usually lonely. If everyone were extroverts would our word be better or worse? When people are happy they can spread the smiles but when people are upset it would be shared and people would be angry and it could be a domino effect. If everyone was an introvert how would you know how to treat one another? Would we all sit by ourselves at lunch? Would friends be crucial like they are now? I think there should be a good balance too much of one side can be bad but each have their good qualities so why not combine the two? Strong leaders should have a good mix to be able to reach all people but should have stronger extrovert personalities to work with other. Now writings (can also be both as well) but I would say Introverts would be better because they keep all of their thoughts to themselves so they have more to spill onto the pages. Friends and neighbors should be enjoyed so they should be what you are. And teachers should vary what they are because everyone should be their own. Plus students need to learn to be with all types of people because that is how the world is.
Truly what you are shouldn't matter and I don't think either is better. Because what makes our world so wonderful is how different we all are but we all live in the same planet, how cool.

I believe...

Blogging is for expressing how we feel and giving information so I figured this video would fit perfectly.

I believe...in the power of special needs.
