Mariah Carey- HERO

YOUR A HERO!

Have you ever felt like your just about ready to give up? Or  feel like the whole world turned against you? But you know that if you believe in yourself you can make it through all your troubles.

 The song Hero sung by Mariah Carey is about keeping your head up, getting through your troubles, and not letting yourself down. Carey sings, "..and when you feel like hope is gone look inside you and be strong and you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you.."

As the world of today, with all these new technology and speeds we are spoiled and by that i mean we get things pretty fast, when things tend to take longer we don't have the patients to wait for things. It may feel like hours, days months sometimes even years before things can be accomplished. Therefore Carey's song also states, "Its a long road, when you face the world alone, and no one reaches out a hand for you too hold..."life can get pretty tough if you have no support, its all about self motivation; motivate yourself, push YOU to keep going, put all your effort into accomplishing the goals you wanna reach and before you know it you will achieve what ever goal is possible. 

"LORD KNOWS DREAMS ARE HARD TO FOLLOW BUT DONT LET ANYONE TEAR THEM AWAY"

Never let anyone bring you down, and that your dreams will never come true, yes some dreams are hard to follow but when  stick to what you dream a lot of things can happen. Youll be able to accomplish so much.

STOP WITH THE BULLYING!!!

"I WANED TO DIE SO BAD"

Amanda Todd, a 15 year old girl who was bullied Posted this video about how she intended to kill her self  twice unsuccessfully and on how she was physically bullied and cyber bullied. Unfortunately, Amanda Todd was successful in committing suicide -a month after she post up her story on youtube. Amanda is one of the many young teens being bullied online and physically. Teens like my younger brother, age 16 with a heart and mental problem,  bullied daily and sometimes even beaten and what truly hurts as an older sister they do not reach out for help until its to late. My younger brother was bullied and stabbed with a pencil multiple times. He informed my parents two days after the incident occurred. Not to long ago he was bullied during cooking class. Bullied for his iPod touch and five dollars. Five Dollars! The teacher saw and immediately called my mother. 

To this day the school officials have not done anything about this bullying situation. It 'grinds my gears' that one of my younger brothers is being bullied and that no one not even the principal is making sure that students are safe in the school. As a principal shouldn't he know whats going on around school he's technically in charge of? No adult should allow any sort of bullying.

 Parents, as well as many bullied students decide to not even send their child or even show up to school when bullied, because of the fear of being hurt again. Its not fair how other teens decide to take advantage of any kids who look weak. Or even bully kids with disabilities!

 Nobody deserves to be bullied, to be hurt physically emotionally or mentally. Be careful with the things you say because somewhere out there there are humans out there that with take to heart what you said and it can hurt them in the worst way you may have never thought of. Hopefully those teens being bullied at the moment find the courage and speak up to tell an adult or their parents and get help before things get worse. Bullying is not a game, its nothing to be playing around with.

The Key to SUCCESS!

A councilor, a success-coach someone who has said some inspirational words. He tells a group of young teens how to achieve  to be successful. He starts off by telling them the story of someone in search of being successful. 

To be successful theres many sacrifices. Just like college, when you start college we have to learn to sacrifice the time we have to study and put our effort into college. We have to give up things like parties and friends. Learn to manage the time we have wisely.

This councilor tell this group that,"When you want to succeed as much as you want to breathe then you'll be successful."

One of the other things said that stood out to me where; "Most of you don't want it as bad, you just 'kinda' want it.", "Most of you don't want success as much as you want sleep, some of you love sleep more than you want success. If your going to be successful you gotta be willing to work off of three hours, two hours of sleep. if you really wanna be successful some days you have to stay up three days in a row... because if you go to sleep you might mis the opporunity to be successful."
He mentions a few celebrities like 50cent or Beyonce and how they sometimes would forget to eat or wouldn't sleep. because they were working to be successful. 

I agree with this video because success isnt only for rich people is for all people you just have to want it, work hard for it dig just a little deeper . Most rich people are rich because they wanted to be successful and they worked there way up to success. 

TAN? YOU TRYNA INSULT US OR WIN A LATINOS VOTE?

Romney tanned his face to get latino votes. I think is one of the funniest thing a candidate can do, just to get votes. Not smart to humiliate yourself on National TV. But does he know that most latinos are afraid to vote. Or even think about voting? That's a problem with most latinos. Most of the latinos Ive talked to don't even think about voting, in fact my mother had just became a legal US citizen and I asked her what she thought about Romney tanning his face to look "brown". She answered with a shrug. So then I ask

 "Now that you have the chance to go vote, will you vote for the up coming election?". 

She replied, "no."

From a past class discussion I remembered my professor saying "Most latinos don't vote because they feel like its all false promises." 

So I asked my mother "why not?" she told me exactly what my professor said "why vote if none of what they say is truly accomplished, like the promises Obama made about those under immigration." I felt that she was trying to say Action speak louder than words. And Romneys tan face wont help with getting latino votes its an insult for me and many other latinos who will vote.
