**Where I Stand**
I am a student trying to make the best of a heavy courseload in his final year of high school as well as trying to juggle college to-do lists. I am the type of person you would have a better chance at meeting through coincidence than in any social event as talking to others is a very difficult task. I am the older brother of an eleven or maybe twelve year old kid. He's in seventh grade, so it's probably the latter, but I was always young for my grade so I'm not very capable of judging that. I prefer seeing a problem worked out on paper and analyzing how it was done rather than have someone sit down and explain something to me. I am also the type of person to not get things done on time and I look forward to being the first person to demo the Plan of Action chart in the near future. Despite this, I am proud to say that I somehow made it this far and will continue to try my hardest to feel like doing homework.

I enjoy using my spare time to take naps or hang out with friends. I like sometimes taking walks along the golf cart paths. Often times I take pleasure in Spanish music and singing along to that one phrase in each song to which I can actually pick out the individual words. Above all else though, I enjoy attempting to trick others into believing something that is not true because I believe that strong deceptive abilities are key in shaping a better future for oneself. To be honest though, I look forward to this 0 period class and enjoy starting my morning off with Maggie everyday. It's nobody's fault if it doesn't inspire me as much as last year's 0 period though since this one doesn't have any mention of my two idols, Woody Guthrie and Wendell Berry.

I believe that everyone deserves a second chance, except for coal rollers, mostly because I'm usually the one to need a second chance. I believe that while safety nets are important, they shouldn't be used as hammocks. I deeply feel that I might struggle to pass Physics C. I sorely hope that as time passes it will be more commonplace to accept others despite their difference and that I will pass Physics C. I do not believe in holding grudges and feel that it is childish to hold a strong contempt for those you do not like; simply keep such people out of your life and try not to think about them at all. I bluntly hate teachers who choose not to make an active effort to interact with their classes and believe that people who act as such should not be in charge of a student's learning at all. Lastly, I believe that life should be taken lightly and that an entirely serious one is not one worth living at all.

I do not care for those who choose to waste their education through the blatant lack of effort or interest in any of their classes; the level of education we receive is a true gift and it's bluntly disrespectful to ignore the teachers who try to work with you in maintaining a quality level of learning. I do not care for people who accumulate hundreds of seconds daily on their snapchat stories and will not hesitate to remove them for quality control. I also do not care when white people obsess over their 1/64 italian or 1/32 irish blood. Several generations ago your family gave up their heritage and culture to come to America- that makes you an American.

I strongly support the ingenuity and efficiency of the Toyota Prius. I am in favor of a world in which more people realize that the idea of the Toyota Prius being a women's car is simply to drive them away from an impossibly good choice of car. I support the idea that IF should be reenacted just so we can benefit getting out of class early as Seniors. I favor embracing the situation you're in and making the best out of it rather than feel unfortunate that things aren't better than the way they currently are. Any real improvement takes real dedication and you need to constantly keep your goal in sight.

These are the thoughts of someone who might not be alive by the end of this school year, and this is where I stand.
