Flattery

I don't know how this topic came into my head. Perhaps it was one too many looks at that page of persuasive topics in Mr. Thompsons class. Maybe I'm doing it just to flatter the teachers.

Teachers should get paid more. Outrageous right? I figured since my sister is majoring in elementary education, I should finally warm up to teachers....

Why SHOULDN'T teachers get paid more? Without today's teachers, there wouldn't be tomorrow's future. Most of us don't know how hard teachers work. I have a hint of it, because of my sister, and because I've gone to some of my teachers' classes well after school ended to see them still working at their desks. Teachers really deserve more: They work tediously, selflessly, for the good of their students, and they make us what we are.

Teachers (well, MOST teachers...) care more about their students than they do themselves. They would take an hour of time out of their work to help their students understand a concept, or help them get their grades that half a percent higher to acheive an A.

Without our teachers today, we wouldn't be like this nation is today. Teachers are what makes up the lives that keep our government going, and what care for the citizens. We should treat them as we do the doctors or lawyers that we hold in such high esteem.

The worst part of each of my days would most likely the "waking up" part.  Waking up bugs me, because even if I set my alarm, it still doesn't make me get up.  Don't get me wrong; the alarm wakes me up alright.....how could it NOT? It's the most annoying thing you could ever listen to! Sheesh, I'm sleeping deeply and comfy cozy when suddenly I'm awakened by this annoying "HONK, HONK, HONK, HONK, HONK....!!!!!"

To make this all worse is that I'm so tired and sleepy that I just let it keep HONKING!  I don't even bother to stop it!

One of my pet peeves is when someone receives a gift......and saves it thinking that it'll be a nice gift to give to someone else.  It seriously drives me up the wall!!!!!  I mean, what's the point of someone GIVING you a gift if your just going to be rude and give it to someone else!

If someone did that to ME, they'd get a smack in the FACE.

I think I'll move to hawaii or something, where it's not so COLD!!!! 

I hate the cold.  My body is really weird.....it never gets cold, or, at least, I never FEEL cold, but my internal organs are probably freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezin.  Maybe that's why I get sick or get a cold or get a SORE THROAT........... 

I would have SUCH a happier life if there wasn't a such thing called BEING COLD!!!

If there's a list I have about "the things I hate the most about life", it'd be sore throats.

I absolute DETEST sore throats......and I'm probably writing this now, because...well...i DO have one, and I'm drinking orange juice to help it...

I hate waking up every morning to realize your throat is all clogged up and mushy and gooey and "mucusy".  

I hope it isn't a cold. That certainly would be a disaster....due to the fact that I have a competition in two days......... wouldn't be a good thing.

I can't wait till this week is over.

This weekend, I have yet ANOTHER huge competition out of state.  Preparing for it has been extremely tiring, and the stress it gives is overwhelming.  I SO can't wait till monday, when it'll finally be over.  

This sounds really...........i don't know how to put it....stubborn i guess.....but I hate losing. Don't we all?  But then there's your parents or tutors or teachers that tell you to practice so you WON'T lose...... I mean, it's not like we don't WANT to do our best...sometimes your brain doesn't let you.  

I'm excited to feel the RELIEF and STRESSLESS peace of mind that will come to me after I compete......only 3 days...only 3 days...

How does this help???

It bugs me SO bad when teachers give my classes assignments that don't even help!

I mean, in one of my classes, the teacher gives us this paper, said to be celtic art or something...and tells us to color it.........does this help the SLIGHTEST bit in LIFE??

If we needed to know about celtic art, couldn't looking at it be enough?

And if we colored it, wouldn't it ruin the effect of the original colors?
