Early child development exposure impacts who we are completely

Early child development is the most important years of our life. It's where we're learning how to trust in other human beings or how not to trust in other human beings. It's where we learn to have self-confidence or it's where we develop low self-esteem it's literally the time in are lives where we are being shaped into who we are going to be for the rest of our lives. Is language, which develops over these years our culture that we are, exposed to also our surroundings that we're an have a great impact on how we are going to act and think. I think this is a very important topic so I will be posting more on this subject.

It is always darkest before dawn

I keep thinking that life is going to make sense but in the end, life does not make sense. Life is about making hard choices, dealing with the unexpected, and coping with reality. There are many wonderful things in this life to be had. However, it is your job to cherish each day and really recognize that every moment matters. You never know how much time you have in your life and I believe we need to live our lives to the fullest. I am not saying that it is not a good thing to have dreams and goals, it is a great thing. I am just saying that you need to realize that no one really knows how long we have here and it would be a shame to not value every moment we are blessed with. This life can be confusing, hard, and all around horrible, however it is so important to realize that we have to take the good with the bad. We cannot focus on disappointments we might have, dreams not coming true, or goals not being met, and especially we have to realize that our life just might not turn out the way we planned it. I know this can be heartbreaking to accept, yet I believe if you are determined, hopeful, and driven you can achieve the impossible. If you have the courage to believe, your dreams can come true. You have to know who you are and believe in yourself before other people are going to believe in you. You cannot let other people's insecurities or negative attitudes bring you down, you are your own person. In this life, we are given only one life to live and we shape who we are and how we portray ourselves. We need to be careful not to be wrapped up in work, school, and day-to-day chores and realize life is not going to start when we have a great job or finish school. This is life right now and we need to live our life with the understanding that life has started. So, when we think we'll have time to tell are family we love them later or be kind and courteous to other human beings later we need to recognize that you don't know if there's going to be a later and in my opinion that's a big chance you are taking if you are waiting to not be so busy. So remember that even though we live in a society that measures success in our job status or what degrees we might have. Take a moment and think about what really matters in your life? If you were not going to be here tomorrow what would really matter to you? What would you need to say? What would you need to do? What would you change? Life might not be what we expected but it is life. How we deal with the bumps along the way shape that we are today. It's always darkest before the dawn. I hope so.

How much is too much?

When you're in a new relationship you want to see the other person all the time and you schedule your life around your partner. However, how much is too much of each other? I believe you can be madly in love with the other person and not have to spend every waking moment with them. Also, I think it is healthier to have other things that balance your life so you do not become dependent on your significant other to fill every desire and need in your life. I think in any healthy relationship you have to have real expectations of a another human being and not rest your whole happiness on them. I think to have a relationship that can meet its fullest potential the members that are involved in the relationship have to know who they are before they can fully commit their selves and love another person to the fullest. My grandma always used to say that a relationship needs to be like an H. not and A meaning that the two individuals that love each other need to be able to stand alone and have common connections that connect in the middle to have a prosperous relationship. A relationship that is like an A is bound to collapse. Relationships can be hard and confusing however they can be rewarding and wonderful so don't be afraid to take a chance even though there will be bumps and problems along the way that you will have to overcome. But just remember that it's not the problems along the way it's how you work as a team to overcome them.

home school v.s public school.

When you think of home schooling what do you think? When you think of public high school, what do you think? There are so many opinions about public school being better than home schooling or vice a versa. There are many opinions, but whose opinion is right? Is it the person that went to a public high school for their whole life? Is it a person that was home schooled their whole life? Different educators have their own biased opinions and they will stand by them simply because that is all they have ever been exposed to. However, I think the public school system versus being home schooled is a discussion that needs to be addressed by educators and children or teenagers that have exposure to the matter not by ignorant stereotypes of each side. Let me tell you who I am, I am a mascot full of school spirit and proud to say" Go cougars," I am a straight A student in public high school, I am one of the most popular people in my high school, however I was home schooled until my junior and senior year. I also loved being home schooled there is many differences between public school and home schooling. Each of the types of education has different qualities about them that are challenging and rewarding. High school for me was a great once-in-a-lifetime experience. I have experienced a completely different world for the first time. However because I was home schooled I was able to see the opportunities clearer than the kids that had been in high school their whole lives. I already knew who I was and what I wanted to experience during high school. I would say that home schooling taught me to be proud of whom I am and that every body learns in different ways. It also taught me that being an individual is a great thing and should be respected and honored. In addition, I was exposed to a different world of learning, during my home schooling experience I learned different subject in unusual ways, instead of sitting in a classroom learning about history. I was living it for example when it came time to learn about ships, I went, worked, and slept on a ship for 72 hours. In addition, everything was real. The cleaning of the deck was real, the cooking of the food for the other ship workers was real, and the hard cold beds were real. The style of learning me interested and impeached wildly being able to interact as I learned I was able to enjoy learning about different areas of education in an engaging and interesting way. All of my subjects were taught in interacting and exciting methods I was never sat down and told to read a book from page to page and then tested on how well I memorized every detail and every date I learned through experience in things for myself and being shown different subjects in exciting ways. I think this had a huge effect on how high love to learn. No one ever sat down and said learn this or you will fail at what? This class? life? success? I think this method of sitting children down today and telling them that if you do not succeed at this test you cannot proceed. This does not promote high self-esteem or confidence if you stop and think about some of the methods were usin in our public high schools today you will see that most of the methods were teaching unaware. Built around one kind of learning and then we have the courage to say that everybody learns in different ways we have visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. These are the most common learning styles that people half but that is not to say that these are the only learning style and I think public school systems need to start looking at the bigger picture of how to meet children's different ways of learning. Not wrong, not stupid, not weird, just different ways of learning material if we expect every child to fit into a box and learn the same way. Then when they do not the public school system tells them that their stupid or are they have a learning disability how is it that we do not address different styles of learning in our public school system today. We expect everybody to learn the same way and our public school systems if you are not able to sit down, put pencil to paper, and process that information effectively you are not going to be successful. I find this ignorant and ridiculous that in our public school systems we are not addressing a matter further every child is an individual with different needs and desires that need to be treated as individuals and met where there learning style is. This is not to say that public school systems are bad or not well organized and disassembly to address an issue that needs to be altered and recognize for the sake of children today.

Love is not a destination it is a journey of the heart

How do you know you’re in love? Is it a warm feeling? Is it lighting up when that person comes into the room? Is it when you lock eyes and your heart stops? Many people ask this question every day. How do you really know if you are truly and completely in love? I think love is something that can't be described completely. It is finding that someone that makes you complete; it is not something you can put in a box. Love is unique and different for each person, your beliefs and values can affect how you love and how someone loves you. Your personality and believes shape what you believe about love. One person’s ideal picture and image that they have about love in a person may be another person's nightmare; it is all depending on you. I think love has many parts that cannot all be described part of love is being able to think outside yourself and have compassion and sensitivity for another human being. It is being able to put someone before yourself. Love is everlasting and trust worthy. It is being able to find that one person that you can trust and above all others and that can trust in you. I do not believe someone can fully love another person without loving his or her self-first. This is a hard thing to come to terms with many times we are controlled by our emotions of compassion, kindness, lust or even a part of love. However, I do not believe you can reach the fullest potential love without loving yourself first. So just, remember that love is not a destination it is a journey and can not be defined by one person's definition it is your own desires and expectations of another human being.
