As of the 28th of January 2008 they have finally given the number of positions available for the City of Memphis government. It is good that they want to try and help the city of Memphis. But why do they wait so late before they broadcast the information that the people need to know. Why is the government so slow? It seems like the government is just slow in general they are slow in catching the bad guy in a even if they have all the evidence they need to put the criminal away they find a way to screw things up. Now I am starting to think that they it is not the legal system to blame I think it is the people that work there they play some part in this I do not know what it is but I know they have to play something. Whenever money is on the line a lot of things can happen it could be enough to keep people mouths closed for weeks, months or even years. You think jobs government jobs would be more blunt in out for all who qualify to try and fill that position but no it does not work like that. Why does the government treat us they way they do? Please somebody help me with this.

Senator Barack Obama has won South Carolina, but for some reason they are saying that the blacks that vote are not enough to help him win the election. Others have tried and failed but that is not all the blacks in the states. Some of the minorities, blacks in general have not registered to vote and the ones that are registered to vote think that their vote will not make a difference. That is not the true as an individual that maybe true but as a whole minorities can change the world. It will take some think but we have to trust and use what we have and get everryone out to vote and it starts with you and in order for the world to change you have to want the change for yourself and if the change is worth fighting for then you should go out and fight for the rights that you want and deserve. I am not telling you to go out and vote for Senator Barack Obama but you got to realize, that one vote could be the difference in the one you want in office and the one that you do not want in office. When it is all said in done you will have no regrets you did all you could if the one you wanted did not win relax wait for years and vote again til you get it right and the states get it right.

What makes teachers teach

Why does college cost so much? When I was in elementary school on up to my senior in high school they only thing that I paid for was a lost book, pictures or a field trip. Now we gotta pay like 800 dollars a class you ever asked yourself where that money goes. You see the cars that the teacher e driving and it is like wow all that money and they pull up in something fresh. (A good looking car) Now all the students here at the university can think of something to do with 800 dollars per student especially with the auditorium class that is a lot of bread. (money) You think being a teacher would be a good job you get the weekends off summers off and you classes go as long as you plan them. With all these perks you think being a teacher would be a good job for anyone to have. But that is not the case in any case all the teachers say that they do it for the love of teaching I guess you gotta be a teacher to understand that cause I hate to teach other something that is not my style. Any if you could tell me what is the real reason teachers become teachers?

When you think of video games you may think of the new and updated models like the playstation 3 X-bow 360 and whatever the youngsters play now. All the games and that come out that you gotta but for yourself and or friends and family wether you were buying madden football for your son or husband if not that you were buying man of honor for the you son who wanted to become a navy seal when he got older. We can look at what we have now but let us go back a couple of years way back to old video games. What happened to the old type of games, the kind that everybody knew how to play and wanted to play. Everybody likes to play the super Nintendo, or the Sega genesis those were the good games. Now this could just be me but I would have to say that Mario, Tetris and the champion of all games would have to be Pacman. Oh yea I took it there, I do not know that it was about that yellow circle eating these little balls while running for some ghostly goons but it was so addicted I never met a person that said they did like to play any of those games everybody played those and were hooked at first sight. Hey I could be wrong but eh not likely. Everybody loved those games what do you think?

leaders

Why do people look in the wrong places to find someone to look up to? When someone tries to look up to someone they tend to act just like the person that is mentoring them. There is always that one person that seem to look up to the wrong person and if is not stopped at an early stage it can be very very bad for all who come in contacts with that seeker. Not all people are like that there are still some good people out there in this world that will make great leaders and still people decide not to look to them and go towards the ones that do not always make the right decision. The trouble makers they are poison to anything and everything they come in contact with. People say that they have control of themselves and there actions but when you are influenced so easily by others to change from one thing to another, how much control do you really have or your actions. That is the real question? Should we really blame ourselves or the role model that we chose to look to when we get into trouble? Who should we punish and why should that person get punished instead of the other?

Why do we have GPA’s that is a waste of time as long as I past the class what is the point of the 4.0 grading scale that is a load of crap who cares so what you get to sit on the stage on your graduation and look at everybody but if we turn our seats we all can see everybody. Me I got other things to worry about than my GPA I am a track athlete I got to practice everyday and in order for me to go 2 the track meets I have to keep a high enough GPA it would be easier if we all got a P pass of F fail grading scale. When you are limited with your time as long as you pass the class how cares you will learn with experience you can not put experience in a classroom. Look at the positive and negative say you’re a doctor and you fail your doctor exam who cares you will get better with live with live experience. You may kill a couple of people but if the doctor is willing to take the risk why should the patience.

Why Math

Why does math class go past the eighth grade? If you do not plan on majoring in something that involves math such as business or accounting, what is the point of forcing the rest of the students to take a math course beyond eighth grade level? It is a waste of my time and the rest of the people that do not need anymore math classes. I could have a real high Gpa in school but all because of my math class it brings me down so much. Math has to be the worst subject alive whoever made up the number system should have been shot on the spot. Isaac Newton was not a genius he was bored so he decided to start playing with numbers. I have taken college math and math in high school and I could be a lot happier without going to those classes in school. I think most people would agree with me when I say “I can add, subtract, divided and multiply what more do I need. I can count money is that not the most important thing I can count for hours I just do not want to why do I need to know what E= who cares honestly, and with all I learned when I was in middle school. High school math is just something that gives people a job when they can not do anything else but play with numbers.

Today is Dr. Martin Luther King day and today is very special, but how special is today if you do not take the time out to go and pay contribute to the man who made all of today possible. I volunteered to go to the Martin Luther King museum today and it was the first time I have ever been to his museum, it was it a learning experience for me. I really could not believe my eyes. I really think this day is taken for granted, have you ever thought about how people spend there free time on Martin Luther King day? When I was at the museum I saw a line of people backed up for hours that is good people want to come and learn or teach others about a great man that was shot down. I man that put his life on the line so we can all be equal and live together like we were meant to. But what about the people that do not know anything about him or the things that he have done for us. The people that have not been to his museum are really missing out on something that should be mandatory to know. In my opinion I think it is very important that people go to his museum and learn whatever they can about Dr. Martin Luther King. Learning is something that you never stop doing and you can never stop learning about Dr. Martin Luther King.
