In this article, a teacher explains what school is really about. To him, academics is not what school is all about, it is about pushing through obstacles and staying on track of what is really important. I agree with this article 100% and I think many teachers need to read this article as well. The "main event" is to overcome difficulties when life gets hard. Many students (including myself) tend to quit when school gets hard. I very well know the feeling of walking into school and already deciding not to try to get anything done because I have "more important" things going on in my life. I have learned a lot from my four years at Blue Valley High School, and not one of those things is due to the curriculum. I have learned that not doing anything in school because I just don't feel like it will not get me anywhere. Being rude to my teachers because I do not do anything in their class will not get me a better grade. I have learned that my actions have consequences and if the amount of effort I put in will affect how successful I am in the future.

Tell me all about your weekend and please share photos!

I spent this weekend with my boyfriend because he came home for Easter. We just hung out with some friends and he took me to lunch at Noodles and Company. On Saturday we took my dog, Rocky, to the dog park; he had so much fun! I stayed home Saturday night to catch up on some school work because I missed a lot of school last week. I had to work at Sunset Grill on Easter morning. It was pretty crowded but work was not as bad as I thought it would be. I got home around 2:00 pm and headed over to Planet Fitness for a quick work out. When I got home from the gym my mom had dinner ready and I spent the rest of my evening with my family.

What do you love most about this time of year? Explain why you love it.

I am so happy winter is finally over! I love when it starts to get warm and the trees start to bud. Birds are chirping and the sun is shining brighter! The trees that bud do kind of smell like cat pee which is unfortunate. I love wearing shopping for summer clothes and bringing all of my shorts out from the back of my closet. My mom likes to buy flowers to go in the flower pots on our deck and I think they look beautiful. I also love to take my dog, Rocky, to the dog park when it warms up. The only downside to warm weather is the dress code at school. I have no problem following the code, I like to stay comfy in school, but I know a lot of my friends get unwanted  comments from our teachers. I understand that we need to wear appropriate clothes but no one should be distracted because you can see shoulders.
