Consider this: Amateurs built the Ark, professionals built the Titanic.
There are all sorts of things that you can get out of this statement. It could be saying that you may think you know everything but without God you won’t succeed. How about without God you sink. Something to definitely to think about.
This week has been quite crazy so far. The person who came up with the original saying that life was like a roller coaster should be given a national holiday. On Monday I was to turn in a character analysis on someone from the Canterberry Tales by Chaucer. When we went over the characters last week in class there was a specific character that came up and was claimed to be a pure character. The more I looked at the story and his character points from the story I realized that he wasn’t even near pure in any way shape or form. Various students in my class including my teacher (who I hope is reading this and rolling her eyes :D) told me that there was nothing wrong with the guy and that I should do my character analysis on this person and prove that he was corrupt. That weekend I wrote up a paper about the character’s personality profile, ESFJ. It wasn’t that hard for me to work with that because the more I read the character’s profile the more I realized that I was also an ESFJ. This can be both a good thing and a bad thing that I’m an ESFJ but that’s not the point. Once the teacher read the paper she explained that numerous people have tried this before and failed and that I was the first person to prove this successfully. It was quite a lot of fun not only to do the assignment but to hear that kind of feedback. However, it’s extremely difficult to personality profile a fictional character from a story just from a few paragraphs.
Hopefully by next semester of school I will be enrolled in three different schools. I’m currently enrolled with iSucceed and I’m taking college courses through University of Phoenix. However, it’s a challenge to take a speech and debate class through text or through the internet. I believe that body language and facial expressions as well as tone of voice are things that you need to be successful in learning something like that so I’m attempting to get in with one of the local highs schools to take this class. Because of my previous experience in public school I believe there will be a few outcomes. I’ll either: A. Get kicked out because I’m confrontational and religious, B. Everyone will enjoy me and it’ll be a great experience, or C. it won’t be either way because the students and the teacher honestly just won’t care or take the class seriously. I’m definitely hoping that the third outcome isn’t what happens. I’m totally fine with the first or second one happening. If this all works out I’ll be taking two-three classes through University of Phoenix, a full class load through iSucceed, and at least one class at one of the high schools in my area. It may seem like a lot but I’m going to enjoy every single class because each one has an aspect that I can use throughout that’ll make things enjoyable, interesting, and just plain unforgettable for anyone that is willing to work with me. That may come off as cocky or just plain mean but if we don’t find a way to entertain ourselves while doing school then what’s the point in the first place and what separates me from everyone else that goes to school looking like a mindless zombie?
