Truth vs. lie

If I was in a difficult situation and I had to choose between tell the truth or a lie. I can say I would definitely want to tell a lie but I would want to tell the truth as well. I would probably have a mental battle between myself wondering witch would be the best choice. I know I am not perfect yes I have lied before but in the end the truth always comes out. There are consequences for the choices we make as human beings so it would just be best to tell the truth. So even if there are consequences for telling the truth I would rather have someone be mad at me for telling the truth instead of a lie. If I had to protect someone by telling the truth even though they might not want me to, I would gladly do the right thing. I know I lie sometimes it is definitely an area in my life I need to work on but I can say there has been progress in the past few year. Like the saying goes "Honesty is the best policy". A difficult situation that I might tell the truth would be if a friend was talking to a person they did not know and their life was in danger. In this situation I would tell an adult or someone who is concerned about my friend that they might be in danger. I would not really care if my friend is upset at me my concern would be their safety.

High School

 
 
 
 
 
                     My name is Thalia Cintron and I attend the Early College program. I am sixteen years old and this is my second year in the Early college program. This year I am a sophomore and I have 6 classes total.In my high school experience I have encountered academic struggles, academic accomplishments, and academic aspirations. 
 
                  Some academic struggles that I have experienced are Procrastination in my working skills. Procrastination has come when I am doing home work or a project. I have also experienced not being determined as an academic struggle. Sometimes when I am not determined in my studies I begin to doubt my abilities to get good grades. Another academic struggle would be not putting my effort into my school work or studying. This happens when i become lazy and tired do I will not try my hardest to put effort into my work.
 
 
                   On my high school journey I have had some academic accomplishments. One academic accomplishment would be having the opportunity to attend the Early College High School. If i was not accepted into this program I would be going to Lorain High School. My second academic accomplishment was passing all my Freshman classes and becoming a Sophomore. My third academic accomplishment was passing all my collage classes. If I would have not passed these classes I would have had to pay for those classes.
 
 
 
               Finally some of my academic aspirations would be to get a 3.0 GPA average every year.
Another academic aspiration would be to graduate from this program and High school in 2015. Finally my last academic aspiration would be to continue my college experience but be able to for free. This would allow me to focus on my future and to be able to get ahead in my career and in life.
 
 
            During my High school experience I am encountering Academic struggles, Academic accomplishments, and Academic aspirations. I am learning as an individual to use my struggles and weaknesses in a positive way. I am learning in my high school experience to have more academic accomplishments and aspirations. I am using my weaknesses to my advantage and I also believe that is what life is about. We must use our trials and struggles to make us stronger for the future.

Cyber bullying

Cyber bullying is common in my generation. People cyber bully online probably because they were also bullied at some point in their life. There can be many reasons why people bully it could be, because they feel alone, neglected , or because they want attention. The bullying can start in the household and affect the child so it would just come naturally to that Individual. I would say someone would more likely take A stand online if they see bullying instead of taking a stand in real life. People might take a stand online because they won't be facing that individual physically. I would say that you would rarely see a person physically approach a situation of a person getting bullied but, the people that do approach those types of situations are bold. It takes a lot of determination to stand up for others it also takes courage to be able to confront a person and tell them what they are doing is wrong. I am totally against any form of bullying and I believe it is wrong.

What belongs to me ?

I do not think anyone should have the right to take things that's do not belong to them. Some people work really hard for the things they have and people in power for example the government just take it away. I look at this as stealing. A person that takes something that does not belong to them can really damage or affect the lives of the other individual. The government or people how have higher authority might think it is ok to take people's belonging away but I believe it is not right. Unfortunately this is happening every day in the U.S and in foreign countries. it is sad to see that government officials and people with high authority let their power get to their head. Everyone has a right to keep their belongings that they have worked hard for. There is no respect for the people that can take things that do not belong to them because they can. In America we should work hard to get nice things instead of using our authority to take advantage of other Individuals.
