Geological Time Activities

     I think the geological time activity was a total gong show.  There were kids running around everywhere, it was too loud, and, in my opinion, the video portion was completely irrelevant to the assignment.  And it was extremely loud.  Also, the QR codes - even though they were pretty cool - they seemed unnecessary; I could figure out the order of events just by looking at the events given for pictures. Dipity took too long to load and it was a little confusing. The whole assignment was a complete disaster.

Does God Exist?

    It's a question we all ponder in our life at some point. Is there a greater power? How could we have been made from nothing? Does God exist? I think most people believe in, at least, some kind of God. It gives them a sense of security. A sense of . . . irresponsibility, as if to think Oh, I don't need to fix global warming. God will take care of it. Or Ask and I shall recieve. Even though most people don't do what God asks of them. Anyways, back to God's existence. Today, I look around and I see disaster everywhere. Poverty, war, terrorism; it makes you want to think that God does not exist. But i also see what I have around me. A home, family, friends, a good education, the list goes on. It makes you want to think that, in fact, God exists. I have come to the conclusion that we have no possible way of knowing that God exists or not, but i do think that there is someone, or something, that helps us out when we need it. Also, though, there is an . . . Anti-God (Devil, Satan, call him whatever you want), that makes my belief in God even greater. Or, perhaps without thought of a devil I wouldn't believe in God at all. Anyway, I'm not sure if I fully believe in God - maybe someday I will - but I do believe there is someone looking out for us.

School Dress Code

     I think the school dress code is completely resonable. It does not mean that I agree with the restrictions, but I think it is fair. I think it makes good sense that the school is limiting us to what we should wear because this is still a Catholic school and every student should reflect that. It's also so the school can use their power to keep the school under control, which they should, but not to the point where we have to wear a uniform and feel like prisoners. In conclusion, I think the school dress code is perfect the way it is right now.

What Social Studies Means To Me

     Social Studies doesn't mean a lot to me. It's just another boring class in the boring day of school. But I do believe there is something to learn in this class. Then again, there is almost something to learn in every situation. But I still think that I could learn some vauable things that could help me later in life. I am more interested in learning very old history (such as Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome) than learning political science, but I think political science would be more vabuable later on in life. I am also interested in learning studies such as psychology and sociology because I haven't been exposed to them very much. All in all, I am looking forward to this Social class this year and am happy to have you as a teacher, beacuse we will be incorporated with technology and you let us speack our minds openly.
