High School Pressure

There are some people around me, including some of my friends, who see school a little differently than I do.  They think it's all about who takes the hardest classes, who gets the best grades, and who gets the most credits, awards, and who knows what else.

Obviously those things are important, but are they the most important?  Isn't school really about learning things you can use for your future?

Blogging Extraordinaires (Does That Include Me?)

Hi!  Welcome to my blog and my roller coaster of a life.  I am so excited to be blogging again!  I wrote a blog over the summer while I went to school in Germany for three months, and I had a blast.  Now we get to write blogs for school, and I hope I can meet or exceed the expectations set by my first blog.

Before starting my blog, I needed some inspiration.  For this, I turned to some of my long-time favorite blogs as well as new ones.
