The News

I was watching the news this morning and I really do not like it. Yes it is informational and yes it does tell me the weather but it is so depressing. Its like every single time I do get to watch the news it is always about something bad that happened. If it is not about someone getting killed it would be about some disease spreading around or something. I really think that the news should speak about the good things more often. It sometimes looks like these news reporters are so used to talking about deaths that when they say it on tv its like they think its nothing. They would say something like only two people died like that is okay. When these bad things happen they do not only play it on the news once they play it over and over again and that gets very annoying. The little bit of good things that they play gets shown about one or two times then its back to all the bad things. Instead of showing all these crimes all the time influencing people to do more crimes, they should find a way to get the number of crimes to go down. I think they should schedule when they play the bad news. In the morning the good news should play to keep people in a happy mood before they leave the house then around 5 they can play the negative stuff.I know if it was that way I would watch the news more often.

Today I will be writing about what I learned in one of my other classes. A class I choose to write about is my college class. I enjoy going to that class because Ms.Young tries to make our senior year as easy as possible by helping up organizing our college things into different categories. I think this technique will definitely help me in the long run. She has worksheets that breaks down our top college choices and informs us about the tuition, activities, and contact information. She also makes sure we apply for our colleges on time and gives us information about several college fairs. This class helps me because as this point in life I'm confused as to what I'm suppose to be doing right now. Everything is overwhelming and going too fast. I have deadlines to meet back to back to back. I'm glad they put this college class in my schedule cause it definitely gives me time in school to focus on college. Another thing I like about this class is that guess speakers from college come to speak to us during this period and I get a chance to her about the college without leaving the school building. During these lectures by the colleges We get a chance to ask questions and get a feel of what costs will be coming out of our parents pockets. We also learn about different scholarships in this class. This is important to me because I know college is very expensive and I want to save as much money out my parents packets as possible. This class is very beneficial to me because it helps me prepare for college and keeps me on track.
