Tech campus

What is tech campus? Is a question i get asked frequently when i tell somebody attend it suring school hours. I have my regular classes; weights, math, english, issues and at 12:20 everyday i board a bus to take me along with a few other students from deerfield to the Highschool Technology campus of Grayslake. tech campus offers numerous of opportunities to students to explore fields or get ahead start in a certaing career. For me, the idea of working in the medical field interested me. My sophomore year here at DHS, i heard about this program and asked my counslor about it. I studied the medical assisting program for junior, so as a junior i took medical assisting and we learned alot of things. We studied out own blood undermicrosopes, learned to take basic care of the sick patients or residenta. And for my senior uear i took the following program...CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTING. It crazy to think that as a graduating senior in high schooh you have the opportunity to get certified in something in the health care field. Of course its not easy, it takes alot of time and skills to be able to accomplish this. This saturday May 19 i will be taking my state exam to evaluate if i have the skills to become a certified nursing asisstant and if i do i will be a CNA!! Its exciting and alot are impressed to hear that a senior fresh out of highschool can already be a certified nursing assistant. I think that more kids would take this opportunity if they knew a bit more about it, and schools should do a better job at presenting apportunities like this to the students. And that more schools should have the right programs to offer these sort of opportunities to their studets.

Graffiti : Form of art or a crime?

For an artist, art has no limit. Creativity is endless, there arent any rules as to what makes art , art or what makes art appropriate/right. For some people, graffiti is a form art, a different way to express an idea about something using A wall or property. And for some graffiti is a crime, vandilizing property. In my opionion graffiti is art. And it should be charged when done. And individual should be allowed to express their art in any form. That are shouldnt have any limits or rules or else not much creaticity, and creativity is a key point to art. I am. Confused about that people who think that graffiti is a crime, what is their definition of art, and what fo they is arts limit.

Marketplace of ideas : cyber bullyin

For my market place of ideas, i wanted to study an issue that affected the lives of others so that we could become more aware of the issue and help it. Cyber bullling is an extension of bullying done at school though cyber bullying is dine through text, emails, online harrasibg, threats or sending mean messages in attempt to hurt somebody . Cyber bullying is done among young adolecsents and teens, the reasons for why kids take part in this action is because kids either do it to get revenge, because of frustration with another individual, or maybe for a just a way of entertainment. Its also a way to feel power and have control over somebody else. In this sense i mean someone who would be seen as ". Unpopular" or weak, is able be a bigger person online annonimsouly and has the capality to hurt someone who would be seen as "popular" or big/powerful in school. And its said that girls are more likly to be the bully and bullied Kids who take action in cyber bullying find it funny to torment somebody through the internet, but what they dont think about is how serious the consequences may be. For some kids who have expirienced cyber bullying their attitude and personality changes, they change schools and seek help but for some their life ends. And it does t have to go on like this. I think that one way that we could help is by starting to talk about the consequences about cyber bullying and what it is to kids in school at a younger age because it is most common in young adolescents and teens and i think that parents should be more attentive to thier child as they use the internet, cell phone etc. and its because that in studies i found out that only 1 out of 6 parents know that their child has been bullied online. Parents should limit kids time on the internet and they should study the signa of cyber bullying, to take notice if their child has problems after using the internet or their cell phone. And hopefully they can catch it early to prevent any furthor damages to this childs life.
