| Just a few things I'd like to say, Because a lot has been bugging me lately for the past few days so I'd thought id blog it and hopefully appeal to someone who has had a fair share of this experience.
Alright so you can say I was labeled the "Smart one" in My junior high and my high school. I really hate that actually, when people around you label something your not, i mean quite honestly when they look at a Filipino in general, they think "Your Asian, you should be this or that" /)__- In my thinking, i don't see how Filipino's are Asian, although this isn't the focal point of my blog but moving on. . . When people judge me like that thats basically Fallacies in reasoning. Making generalizations: "Your Filipino so he/she must be smart" "All blonds are stupid" The ethnicity or the color of someone's hair does not determine your Intelligence, instead of generalizing think of people as unique Individuals. Sadly many people in this world don't quite get that just yet, but honestly I can go on a marathon about Fallacies in Reasoning, but lets keep at that.

Another thing thats been bothering me is about Prom in general, but this isn't your normal problem. Put it this is way I cant go because I am an "Ex" student from my old school, "Double U TEE EFF" man, thats the worse excuse I've ever heard in my life.
I find it amazing also that many of the staff members can't even give me a legitimate explanation about why Twain students cant go, I don't see the logic in that. I mean isn't that the basic principle of why rules were established. . . if a certain rule applies to one person, shouldn't it be applied to everyone else. The thing i don't honestly get what many of the teachers said is that " Its something about being a drop out". . . /)__- My logic of a drop out is that they don't bother to continue their education, and how are Ex Morse students who transfer to another school considered as drop outs. If i were a drop out I wouldn't even be contemplating about this whole ordeal. If your reading this and your confused about what I'm trying to explain put it this way.
Lets say if your being interviewed for a job, then all of a sudden the person interviewing you asks you some ridiculous question like " Whats your ethnicity" "What do you think about Romance in the Office" and no folks these questions were not made up by me. Then you think to yourself * Why is he or she asking me this question* It simply has nothing to do with the job description. People of higher power such as Boss's at jobs or what ever want to test you, whether or not your willing, or your not. If your willing to just ask any question they throw at you without any knowledge just tells them that your a weak person thats willing to do anything I say. If you honestly think any situation or question that is stabbing you right in the face and you honestly don't think its right. Then speak your mind, don't let anyone give you the sense of stepping down, because thats when they start walking all over you like a door mat
Same goes for my situation about Prom, Like i said before some teachers don't like to give thorough explanations about things, because they want to test you, if your willing or your not willing.If your willing to just walk away from a problem then it will seriously bite you in ass just like me.Which goes back to My question "Why are twain students excluded from this particular
event and how come many other schools around the district are allowed
to go?" Then you get a reply saying "because their Ex Morse Students"
or "Because their drop outs" In my personal experience teachers think
they don't have to give you a thorough explanation just because their
of higher competence. When i first heard this reply, it simply does not
answer my question and again it goes back to FALLACIES OF REASON
"Because their Ex Morse Students" "Because their drop outs" : If i transferred out of Morse and into another district or another school Then yes I am an "Ex Morse Student" but to think that this explanation is being referred to and ONLY referred towards Twain students just sounds like we're a bunch of low life students who honestly don't care for our education. To me these teachers are saying because i go to this certain school, because of my past mistakes back sophomore and Junior year they think I'm some low life drop out, and to me thats just some bullshit from a person who doesn't understand where i come from.
I'm making this blog because i know theres a lot of students like me, Your not very outspoken, Introverts as you want to call it who are always reserved to themselves. There calm and reserved on the outside but we have strong and determined feelings inside of our selves. You can say our Words speak louder then our actions, but for those you who are reading this and saying "yes i know where your coming from" it doesn't even have to be about the same situation I'm in, It can be any problem you have,don't walk away from your problems, one way or another a solution will come to you, simply walking away from a problem only causes things to trigger, such as regret, and sometimes you may break down into tears depending on the situation, and to be very honest i have cried sometimes because of numerous situations i ran away from. From my perspective tears are to help sooth the pain but yet you have to think about what am i crying for, if you simply do not understand the reason why your crying, then your just putting your self down because of what you cant do. Don't result yourself into that situation as i did, understanding now even if i speak my mind about a situation that i feel that doesn't seem right, or it offends me in anyway, it really does make a difference. |
