How Sweet It Is!

What else could I possibly put in a web log that I have not already said? It seems like every word that I get closer to finishing that longer and harder it is to write the next. The only thing that I have left to discuss are the future plans of the project that I have been working on. When I first started this project I thought that I would do it and then it would all be said and done with once the class ended. But to be honest I think that this may only be the beginning of something that may actually have a preverbal rainbow at the end of the path that I am traveling. I think that I may actually do some of the things that I originally set out to do. I think that I will try to contact the Board of Education again so that I can at least notify them of my plan. But if they ever would want me to present the idea that I have about the internationally educated teachers that could help our children to learn about unity then I would have to do a substantial amount of research. If this were to occur during the time that I am still in school the it would be simply out of the question. It is hard enough for me to get all of the blogs done for the Xavier University of Louisiana Theology class (and yes I am stretching so that I can make the word count in case you were wondering because it is very hard to type two thousand words unless you are very interested and knowledgeable about the topic that you intend to write about). That to me would simply be out of the question. I already have enough problems focusing on my work without having to worrying about delivering a major presentation to the Board of Education. I mean I am going to school to try to become a forensic scientist not a sales person. So why should I care? The main reason that I should care is because I plan on becoming a parent some day. There is a chance that I could wind up in one of the areas that are like the New Orleans Parish so I should try to combat the problem early so that I could allow more time for the proper solution to be found or enacted. That way the kids that I have will not have to deal with the problem that the young people that I have interacted with have. Maybe the things that I do in the future could probably help someone to live a better life than the generations before them. That is just what I think that should happen none of the youth should be expected to do worse than the generation before them. Education is the way to resolve all the problems of the world. There is no way that you can say that the statement that I just made is not true. What do you think that it is just some kind of dumb luck? (Well if you look at the career of George Bush Jr. then you could make an argument for to contradict the dumb luck comment.) But he is far worse of a president than almost any other president than we have had in this country. He is dumber and has a lot less experience than any of the people that have came before him. The future of my plan is to try to further the education of the country’s youth especially the youths that live in “problem” areas. What I mean by “problem” area is a place that may have a lot of violence or in some people point of view an area that has a high population of minorities. Some of the areas that some people fear to tread I do not understand. But then again there are areas that other people go that I would refuse to be in. So I guess that I have to have a certain degree of understanding when it comes to something like that. I do not think that any person but Jesus would comfortable in any place (either that or they have serious mental problems). Sorry that what I plan to do with my project is not some extensive and complicated plan. But this is what I feel that I can do. I like to keep myself I reality so that I can be prepare for what ever comes in my direction. There is no point to living outside of yourself. I think that we delude ourselves to protect others for the most part and the way that I feel is that if you cannot take me for me ten you do not even need to know me at all. So if I can do something to further my plan a little ways down the road then I will definitely do that. Sometimes optimism is just a form of self delusion or lying to yourself and others. So why should I lie or explain something that I know very well probably will not happen. I think that honesty is the best policy. Except in certain cases and this is probably one of he times when I should not leave my mind on auto pilot but I think that I am just so elated that I am almost done with my web log entries for the rest of my life (hopefully). That I am just putting whatever thought pops into my mind. Well not everything since some of the things that pop into my head are not meant to be exposed to the public. I am sure that all of you reading this understand what I am talking about here. So my future plan for my project that involved improving the education of the country are pretty much based on circumstances and situations that I shall bring about that may provide the opportunity that I need to better the world of the individuals that wish to learn and grow. Maybe in the future when I become a parent I can try to create some kind of program where the parents are directly involved with the education of there children. Something along the lines of sending homework for the parents to do. Maybe even grading there performance on the work and giving them a report card. That way they can be forced to see the correlation between them motivating there child and what happens when they do nothing to help the child to grow at all. Well Doctor Homan I can say that this has been fun (but if I said that I would most definitely be lying to you). I shall see you on the walk back and forth to campus one of these days. Have a good life and see you around.

See you around. Changing the world is difficult, not doubt about it. Thanks for your hard work on this project.
