Increasing Grades

Increasing Grades 13 October 2016

There is a test and  a quiz that I need to make up for in Intro to College Math. At the moment I have a D. I know that's not good. And In English I have a C. I wish that was higher too. I know all my grades should be at least a B or more, because I know I'm smart, but I also don't apply myself like I should. I don't know what else. I could ask for a lot of remedial assignments, or even extra credit, but I know a lot of teachers aren't allowed to give that.

How do I Show Patriotism???

How do I show Patriotism??? 7 October 2016

     Personally I am not that patriotic. I believe that our country is currently in a really bad place, well not that its gotten worse over the years. It's actually gotten better, but at the same time all the things that we think are "shameful" are now shamelessly in the open. Nonetheless, I'm American so I celebrate Thanksgiving, and give into the materialism of Halloween and Christmas, watch fireworks and eat hot-dogs on the Fourth of July, just like every other American. And I take history classes that teach that immigrants "discovered" this opened land and formed this amazing country... and not that they stole it from the Natives who were already here. I don't know. I show patriotism by saying the plege of allegiance every single week day.
