For my photo essay I took a lot of photos representing what a school day is like for me. I took several pictures that should give you the just of what my day is like. From waking up, making breakfast and lunch, going to school, what I do when I’m at school, what I do after school, and going home

My day usually start with me waking up around 6:00ish most of the days of the week. Unless it is Monday or the weekends, this is the time I usually get up. Once that alarm music goes off, I know all relaxation is over.

After I wake up I get dressed. What I wear depends on what day of the week it is. If you noticed Mondays and Tuesdays are when I wear plan clothes. By Wedensday I wear something fairly reasonable. After that I try to wear my best product. However these rules don’t apply when there is a day I have to wear a uniform.

Next, I hurry to eat breakfast, the picture is of an egg and beacon sandwich. This is just what I happened to be eating that day. There is a large variety of breakfast options available for me. I can usually choose a breakfast sandwich, a regular sandwich, cereal, a breakfast bowl, left overs from last night, etc. just anything I can use as nutrients to start the day off right. I’m not picky.

Next, I prepare my lunch. I have to put a lot of items in there to make sure I can get through the day. I fill my bag with sandwiches, water, jucies, crakers, fake chips, granola bars, and fiber one items. The most important thing in my entire lunch bag is my water.

Then, I’ll add a few final touches and jet out. The hardest part is getting my mom in the car. I have to constantly remind my mom when it is time to go. However eventually we make it to the function mobile where we listen to hot102.5 or 102.9 on my way to school to get that education on.

Now I’ve arrived to school, this is wear I have to turn myself on and apply myself. School takes a lot of energy. This is where I get a little sad because all relaxation dies when I enter this environment.

After about five hours, I get my lunch break. If I am lucky for the day I can find some time to chill with my friends. Otherwise I am trying to stay ahead of my academics, getting some sort of tutoring.

After school I would try to squeeze in some more academic work. I’d have very little time to do so because shortly after I would have to attend football practice. I would often try to cram heavy tutoring into a 30 minute period each day. If it is a game day I have to disregard this step and go straight to the football game to participate in it.

Then, my mom and/or dad pick me up and I go home. You’d think my day would be over by now but not quite unless it is Friday I get to relax and sleep for the 15 minutes it takes to get home, & then I have more work to do. If it is Friday I attend a team dinner for an hour, go home, get a half an hour to myself, come back to school to get a little football practice in, then I get on the bus to go to the big game.

When I get home I like to settle down for a quick moment before handling my responsibilities. I do this by eating dinner. During this period I calm down a little, Reflect on my day, and chat with my parents.

Finally I finish up the rest of my academic process By this time I am real close to being able to rest and relax again. Once I am finished with this, I do a few other things, then I am off to bed.

So that is just a brief summary of my day. It can get pretty wild and busy for me. However, I can’t complain, in is sertainly ten times less stressful than college. From what I herd, it gets pretty crazy. At least my days aren’t boring, because I always have something to do.

Unequal Educational Funding is an interesting subject to discuss. This factor is important because education shapes society. Unequal education opportunities puts us all at an advantage. People can’t get certain knowlege, which means less ideas on improving the world.

1. A large portion of school funding comes through local taxes. This creates a large difference between wealthy & poor communities

2. Difference in educational funding exist in different states, different school districts within each state, and even within districts

3. When states fall under only one school district, there tends to be less of a difference in funding

4. Communities where poverty is rare tend to have a lot of educational funding

5. Communities where poverty is common don’t tend to have as much educational funding

6. Some people resist equalizing funding for everyone do beliefs. One example the amount of educational funding one gains is a result of self effort and/or genetics.

Education is teamwork. It is in everyone’s best interest to make sure everyone has a good education opportunity.

Jordan, Jason, Zech and I are back from our vacation. We would love to share with you guys our personal experience on this trip. Oh and I’m Tremar by the way, and I’ll be starting.

We went to Elsinore Denmark and let me just say that was the craziest country I’ve ever been to, I don’t even know where to start. So first off the “honorable king” died just recently, however the people of Denmark seem to have gotten over it fast. Even the queen is able to remarry. However she must need someone that reminds her of her former husband because she decided to marry her widowed husbands brother. So we attended the marriage ceremony. The poor son of the dead king was basically told by his mother and uncle (the knew king) to “get over the death of your father, you little crybaby.” This atmosphere was just corrupt in indescribable ways. In other news the country finds itself in more conflict because Norway wants to catch Denmark’s fade or battle it out with Denmark.

-this could be a possible solution for the new king, queen, and prince

Well that’s all I have to say, Jordan would you like to add anything?

So we visited we visited Denmark for a marriage ceremony for new King Claudius and Queen Gertrude. We arrived at this elegant castle everybody seemed so happy for the newlyweds. With the exception of Queen Gertrude’s son Hamlet. He was moping in a corner all day. Shoot, I can see why. Hamlet’s father died and Hamlet’s mom remarried to her brother in law, Cladius. Later Cladius told Hamlet to stop his mourning. Hamlet didn’t care much about Cladius’s opinion so he moped some more. Also I discovered Hamlet will stay in Denmark rather than go back to Hittenburg where I heard he went to school at. That can’t be an easy dissension. When the marriage ceremony ended, I over heard Hamlet speaking to himself about how he was disgusted and Revolted from his mother quickly married after the death of her former husband. To that former husbands brother. I’ve  developed sympathy towards Hamlet. He wants to speak out but can’t. Next a fair Scholar named Horatio came in. He looked like a good friend of Hamlet’s. Then all of a sudden I hear “the dead ghost of king Hamlet”! Hamlet got excited and said he shall go see him tonight at 12. Woah! A lot occurred in Denmark and I had a blast, I’m also happy I got to see the marriage of the queen and king! With that being said I will pass the mike to Jason.

Whats up social media, I’m Jason and I developed some similar opinions from this trip. Claudius is shady and a little sketchy. He has married his dead brother’s wife in the time most people would be still grieving and sobbing over such a great loss especially considering that was his brother. That’s not even the worst part in the middle of him celebrating his marriage and becoming King uncle father he’s poking fun at Prince Hamlet for still mourning over his fathers death. Is it not ok to cry when someone has recently passed? What the heck man. As Cladius speaks to Hamlet about his father’s Cladius appears to be insulting him saying you’re crying too much and being a girl because everyone loses their father, your father lost his father that lost his father. In the last sentence he tells Hamlet to stop this useless morning and to think of him as his new father. I don’t even know this Cladius personally and he seems like a self-centered jerk. His brother’s passed and he is unconcerned

What about you Zech?

You guys covered anything, however I just wanna say during the time I was there the queen seemed quite happy for someone who recently loss a husband. It is interesting and suspicious how Cladius and Gertrude don’t take the death of former king so seriously.
