Reverent Robert Craig
"You must line in the Present to secure your future"
I think that this statement is true. The only way you can secure how your future will be is by just focusing in your present. You should not live in your past for it does not matter. What you do right now will affect your future not what you did in the past.

Challenging Aspects of Distance Education

                  Lack of in-person interaction: Some educators argue that both teacher-student and student- student contact are essential to learning. In a distance-learning classroom, you may be able to participate in class discussions online in chat rooms, message boards or Web conferences -  but it’s not the same as being with other students in a classroom.

                  Different levels of quality: Many distances- education programs supply an excellent learning experience, but others may not.

Research any program before signing on to make sure it’s rigorous enough. If you are choosing your own program, look into its accreditation before enrolling.

                  The need to self-start: Distance education lets you make your own schedules. If you have a hard time getting motivated, this might not be ideal educational setting for you.

Alex Schwazer is an Italian Olympic professional walker. He had wont tho gold metal. He was caught  using illegal drugs. He did not denied and was happy that he had been caught. He had won bronze metal in the 2005 Olympics.
Reflection: I think that he did wrong by using illegal drugs. His effort would have taken him where he wanted to go. He seem to be a great walker for he had won many other metals in the past Olympics. It was wrong of him to use drugs. He choose to do something wrong and now his career is over for using them. Choosing to do the wrong thing only brings out negative consequences in the end. Not only that but now almost no body looks up on him, for he is a cheated. Others might still look up at him because he did not denied the fact that he was using drugs. He accepted his mistake and also accepted the consequences. I think this was very brave of him for not many people accept there mistakes.

You may want to take a class that your high school doesn't offer. Under some circumstances, you can still enroll in the class- through long distance learning.

Distance education means taking a class without being physically present where it is being taught. Internet-based technology lets students participate in lectures and class sessions online from almost anywhere.

Some high schools agree to recognize distance-learning credits when they don’t have the resources to offer a course themselves. Distance education is often used to offer a course themselves. Distance education is often used to increase options in rural areas and for AP® courses.

For you, it might mean doing self-tutorial at home in the evening, or participating in a class that is 1,000 miles away, along with other high school students. Check with your school counselor to see what’s available.

"You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right."

Rosa Parks

I think that what she is saying is true. One must never be afraid of doing what is right. Doing the right thing will never lead you do harm. Nothing bad will happen if you do the right thing. You might not see it right away, but doing the right thing will only lead to good consequences.

Additional Tips

Although working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make the most of your time:

      Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing the demands of school and work is easier with support.

      Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately.

      Avoid conflicts by planning your class and work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.

      Use your time efficiently. You can use 10 minutes waiting in a line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of downtime your boss has no objection, you can use slow periods to do schoolwork.

      If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.

      Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on some things you’d like to do because of your school and work commitments.

      If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed

      Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some downtime to stay happy and healthy.

Spring Break

I did not do much over my spring break. Most of the time I spend it taking care of my sister. The only interesting I did was go to the park to celebrate Easter with my cousins. WE went to the park, we ate there, and we played soccer. While we where there, we saw a family and they where doing the Harlem Shake and it was fun watching them do it. After we cracked eggs(filled with confetti) in each others heads. I was holding my sister and she cracked most of the confetti eggs on my head.
