Election Day

Today is the elections. Should I really be happy that there are two candidates that may ruin the U.S. even though one of them knows more about politics than the other? I won't know what may happen after today, but who ever is chosen, hopefully they don't start WW3. That would be a disaster in my opinion.

Team vocab

Letter to mentor

How do you do it? I've heard that being a Social Worker is emotionally tiring. Being able to sit through listening to someone talking about their problems, actually seeing them break down in front of you. Doesn't it make you want to tear up along with them? How do you prevent yourself from crying each time your client comes from a very emotional and heart breaking past?

Anti-bullying Assembly

While listening to the assembly, I have learned that many teenagers have been bullied with four different types of bullying: verbal, physical, social, and cyber. Many people who get bullied a lot would decide to end it which ends up being suicide. While listening, I was shocked to know that there are people being bullied who decides to end their lives instead of speaking up..

MY AERIES

For my essay, I received an B+/A_ I was actually surprised in receiving that grade. I may have received it because I used examples and references from the stories and in class. I kinda didn't agree with it because I am not very good when it comes to writing essays. I feel like I have earned a B or C mostly because I still haven't posted some posts for my blog.
