We’re nearing the end of the school year, and gee did it go by fast. It feels like only yesterday I was just entering this school for the first time as a freshman, and now I am about to become a junior. I think that my first two years at this school have gone really well. In fact just the other day I was accepted into NHS. I’m really glad that I will be able to show just how hard I work at helping the community grow and be safe, and be given even more opportunities to do so. In my global issues class we are currently talking about the issue of juveniles and life in jail. My personal opinion on this issue is that they should be given a second chance at life. People at that age haven’t fully developed their brain, and it’s harder for them to make rational decisions. Instead of life in jail they should be given parole. In this way we can give those that have made mistakes a chance to live peacefully in society instead of in isolation where they are more susceptible to go crazy, and it will be harder to pull them out of the hole that we so commonly throw people into. We’ve watched a couple of videos in class on this issue, but I don’t think they brought home the issue that these are just kids. I think that most people probably feel the same way as I do, but it’s just a matter that they don’t know much about this topic. If more media attention was brought to it I think it would be way easier to get laws passed regarding this issue. There really isn’t anything else going on in my other classes, but I think that this has more to do with the seniors last week then us getting closer to the last day of school, though it could be a combination of both. I know that as we get closer to exam time we will be doing more review related activities so I’m going to enjoy my little break from homework while I still can. My knee is doing really well though. The other day I made it to full extension, and next week I will be visiting my doctor who will then tell me whether I can put full weight on it or not. I think that my mindset is in the right place, I make sure that I’m always doing my stretches, and I put my brace on at night. I’m motivated for it to get better, and that’s really what someone in my position needs to be thinking. Hopefully I’ll get the clear to bear weight on it, and then I can finally get off of the crutches, which I will be ecstatic about. The rest of this school year is going to go by fast, and then I will have to get my game face on for all the tests my junior year. I can’t wait. (Sarcasm)

The picture makes me think you had a topic in mind. Did something happen with the publishing or did you not get to the writing part?

Yeah, it was really weird. When I first viewed it normally I saw only the picture like you, but then when I clicked on the post and entered the editing view all the words suddenly appeared. It should be fixed now though.
