scary year

i always hear that junior year is the hardest year.i get that statement into my mind and i think that i am going to do great. but i start procrastinating, i tell myself that i can do bad on test in the beginning of the year because i will fix myself and do better towards the end. this is wrong i end up freaking out and getting the deep disgust that i could have done better. i hate that feeling. i want to change and i say i am going to study hard and work hard, but i get home and sit down which is a big mistake. i want to go to a good college and set up a good life for myself but at times i just tell myself that i am screwing up. i look at students that get really good test grades and work hard and to tell you the truth i am jealous of these people more then anyone else. but at the same time i am killing myself inside because i know i can be one of those "good" students i am just no doing as good as i truly could. i get good grades but i just dont think it is enough. i feel like this problem happens to alot of students, and i think most of them care.

New Trier has no idea

i constantly hear students complaining about, new trier, arguably one of the best highschools in the nation, and this makes me sick. the fact that people even complain about this school is ridiculous because it has so much more then most schools. the ones who should be complaining are the students of inner city schools that have nothing. i have a brother who is currently doing Teach for America. this is a program where applicants are chosen to teach at not your typical good area. he resides in memphis right now and is teaching at one of the worst schools in the city. not only does the school have bad funding but the atmosphere that the students live in is not making any matters better. the classes have many students and there is not enough materials for each student. my brother is a chemistry teacher and he doesnt even have enough materials to do demos or even labs. yet on the other hand nths is not going to now or even in the near future have a problem with getting enough materials for students and teachers. newtriers atmosphere is great and i will slap anyone in the face that says they dont feel safe at this school. my brothers highschool on the other hand is not very safe. students pull fire alarms in order to go outside and have gang fights for initiation into either the bloods or the crips. even teachers get punched in the face for gang initiation. i dont know about you but after i think about these situations and think about how hard it would be to grow up without materials and live in a bad atmosphere it would not even cross my mind to complain about newtrier.

Like Father Like Son

If any of you dont know who Lou Holtz is, lets just say he is one of the best football coaches of all time. If any of you dont know who his son is, lets just say he has already made a big impact in the NCAA football league this year. Skip Holtz the coach of East Carolina and his team have started off the season 2-0. but this is not just any old 2-0, east carolina has defeated two ranked teams and they are looking strong. they first beat the #17 Virginia Tech 27-22. and second they had an impressive win over the #8 West Virgina 24-3, where they stopped Pat White to only 72 passing yards. on the other hand Patrick Pinkney threw for 236 yards(espn.com). this team looks strong and after looking at the rest of their schedule, i dont think that ECU could lose a game this year. skip holtz is coaching like his father and defeating teams that were ranked and supposed to trample ECU.
