Sleeping (FC)

    Sleeping is probably the thing that everyone is best at doing. While I’m sleeping I feel as if I’m floating in the air and think and do whatever I want. The best thing about sleeping is the dreams you have while you’re asleep. The worst part is waking up, I feel like I never want to leave my bed or continue my day. I learned that being well rested is important because it reflects on your behavior and knowledge of the day. Also, I've learned that too much sleep can increase a possibility of a disease. While researching, I read that both sleeping too much and sleeping too little are linked to elevated risks of chronic disease in middle-aged adults. This really surprised me because most of the time in the weekends, I tend to sleep a lot. Due to my lack of sleep during the weekdays up studying for an exam, or even doing homework. I believe being well rested relives stress towards anything. But the fact that sleeping too much can risk a disease disappointed me very much. In the weekdays, I try to take naps before starting my homework because I feel like for me to concentrate better and improve my brain needs to be well rested after eight hours of nonstop work in school. The only problem with this is, at night when I really need to go to sleep I can’t because of the naps I've been taking. Then my sleeping schedule will end up getting mixed up, and I will end up being exhausted in school not able to do anything. But so far, sleeping has helped me physically because I’m more active and on point with everything, especially when it comes to starting my homework. I really love sleeping and I feel like it has made my behavior better because I’m well rested and not always cranky.

Little Rock Nine (CRR)

                     In class, we were reading an article about the Little Rock Nine which were a group of African American students who enrolled in Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Their enrollment was followed by the Little Rock Crisis, in which the students were prevented from going to a racially segregated school. They had the right to speak up about their opinions, and about entering this high school. I believe they did the right thing because by doing this it can reflect on their future and of others. I will never understand why this was happening. Just because of your color of skin you’re not permitted to do what others of different color skin can do. I believe that we are all the same. The only thing different is our accents and color of skin. I don't think all of this was necessary, if there behaved well and have good grades then why not let them attend your high school? That question will always be wondering in my head. In the article, they compare this situation to other things that happened in history such as, Martin Luther king, and how he expressed his dreams of segregation not happening, and of Rosa Parks. How she stood up as a black women of not giving up her seat. The best part about this article that grabbed my attention is how they didn't give up on trying entering this school. They tried and tired and finally got what they wanted. This showed me that in life to get what you want you need to fight for fight, no matter how long it takes or how hard it is to always keep trying. I believe that this article had changed other people’s point of views. Such as kids that don’t believe in themselves and tend to give up all the time. But this article shows otherwise, and even changed my point of views as a student attending high school.
