Responsibility

I think it's too much responsibility to give high school kids. Their future is far too important to be placed in their hands when they're 14-18. Although hard work and paying attention in school is a behavior taught as a kid, if someone is unfortunate as to not have parents whom motivate them towards performing well, they won't know better and fix their mistake in high school. The age is too young to hand such big responsibility. If someone performs poorly in high school, really, their whole future is set to go downhill. There's no way that they can get into a good college and attain a well-paying, respectable job. At this point they have to make the choice between poorly-paying yet legal and partially respectable, or well-paying yet illegal and unrespectable. The cycle will either continue or break here. When they have children, they will either definitely motivate them to do well or not motivate them because it wasn't done to them.

Welcome To Delhi

"Talaashi lelo", ("search me"). The words still ring in my ears. As I was getting on the bus on the second day I have been in India, 3 women sandwiched me and the first thing I did was put my hands on my pockets. I didn't expect anything to be stolen but I was somewhat scared of that happening and the quickest thing I could think of was putting them on top. I felt my phone and my wallet but I felt my phone slip out. I didn't even have room to look down because someone's shoulder was literally under my chin*. I noticed right away and all I could say was "ma....my phone" and she said who took his phone and this one guy pulled out his phone and asked the number to dial it. I of course didn't have service and when I said that he said things as if he was the one who took it, plus he was one of the people directly behind the women (who were probably part of the work). My mom said if you have it then give it, to which he responded "talaashi...

My Worst Day Ever

Fuck Mondaze. Worst day of my life. First I didn't pass the Motorcycle Written Laws Test because it had nothing to do with the class. Then I made a plan to kick it with friends after some good pasta and chicken my sister made at home. I was supposed to pick him up from the gym. He decided he'd go home and shower and then I picked him up and we spent almost 25 minutes trying to find a dealer! None would pick up the phone or were busy. We finally talked to one and brought him and another friend over and we smoked the blunt and I felt great. We kicked it in my room and then I dropped them off. Came back, cooked, ate, and then had to go drop off the evil kitten. When reversing the Altima because it was in the garage and I wanted to drive it because I'm selling it, I hit the Camry. it was a hard reverse but I messed up. Dad yelled at me for the whole ride but thankfully that kitten's gone..bitch was cursed.
