Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a holiday to reflect and be thankful for what we have. Many people now just see it as another long weekend. I am thankful for many different things. Personally I am thankful for my family, and my friends. Without any of these people life would be nearly impossible. Also I am especially thankful for my father. He is a great father, an excellent friend, and a person that I would like to be like when I get older. Globally there are many things wrong but I am still thankful for a lot of things. First I am thankful that I live in the United States Of America, because if I lived in any other country I wouldn't enjoy most of the freedoms that we have here. I am also thankful that Barack Obama has been elected as president. It is impossible for him to take care of all the problems the United States faces but I am sure he will make this world safer and easier for most people to live in. I am thankful for many other things but I will keep it short and end here.

Marinade on that.

Student's Opinions

Many times teachers will not take a students ideas into account. A lot of times the teacher already has their lesson plan set and would not change it for one or two students. Some teachers do take their students ideas into account. In many cases those are the classes where students enjoy the most, and if a student enjoys a class he or she is more likely to pay attention and do their work. Teenagers sometimes have excellent ideas and their opinions should be heard. If I have an idea I would like it to be considered even if is not used. It all depends on how the teacher runs the classroom. If the method is good it shouldn't be messed with.
