 I recently just got my grades back and it was crap. I relized that I needed to work harder and ask questions during class. If you don’t want to talk to a teacher for help, though that’s the best way, then talk to your parents because they would make you feel comfortable. Some reasons could be from lack of effort, fooling around, or not paying attention. When you do relize you must have made a mistake, don’t blame the teacher because your the one that’s responsible. (And pappa I don’t need a comment on this.)

I went to a new school and didn’t know anyone, so I made new friends. Now I know everyone and I don’t feel uncomfortable. When  I tried a new sport, I didn’t know most of the people. If you want to try a new sport then go right ahead. You would be glad that tried and you would make new friends, so try out a new sport. Don’t be nervous and just have fun and set a goal for yourself.  Go out there and go try something you have not done and make new friends. 

From Papa:

Trying new things should not be driven by what everyone considers the norms.  The expansion of the means by which the organization promotes itself should be done in a manner to maximize the nonprofits impact and lasting message.

For the last three months  when school began, I attended three dances. Those were the best moments of my life. I went to my school dance and the other at another school. The first time I went; and yes I was nervous but I knew some people there from my old and new school. I did dance with some girls and some asked me to dance with them and come on I’m thirteen and I did decline a few because I wanted to dance with my friends. When it came to slow dances I helped a few kids get to dance with the girls and I did get some myself. So for you teens out there who want to go to dance then go ahead.  You should give it a try because it will blow your mind. This is Chris signing off and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

From Papa:

Making introductions and trying something new just might be easier if you partner up with another nonprofit.  While it may make you nervous, you never know unless you try.

I’m freaking out about my mind. I feel more responsible and that I want a job. I was on the Internet looking at websites and some of the websites were jobs. I snowboard at a mountain called Sunapee ( sun-a-pee) in New Hampshire. I’m almost fourteen in a year and the mountain has jobs for fourteen year old and above. I’ve been wanting to work there to make new friends and to be at the mountain.

From Bob:

The nonprofit industry is undergoing fundamental changes to its funding mechanism.  It is time for nonprofits to dream and execute their plans

Do you teens, youths, or the bigger brother get annoyed by your own sibling? I have a little brother that’s nine and he always pushes me to get in trouble and he doesn’t get in trouble. I learned that brothers and sisters fight because that’s the way of humans. We learn from each other so we don’t make the same mistake. So here’s my advice to those big brothers, just ignore the problem, change the subject, and don’t kill each other. And for the adults, try to not get upset and after the fight between your kids is over, take a vacation.

From Dad: If your kids fight, just separate them in different rooms or let them watch some t.v. I have a son that’s thirteen and some of the things they bicker about is sometimes annoying and sometimes funny. Keeping the Communication is the bottom line to making things work out for everyone.

I just had my vacation and it was awesome. I went snowboarding with my friends in NH. But I was a little upset because I had homework  but my dad says that I should just try and enjoy my vacation. I did my homework everyday to make it less pressure. Then I became less overwhelmed. So here’s my advice, just try enjoy your vacation, do your homework a little bit everyday, and have lots of fun.

I know it is hard for little kids to cross the street because some little kids don’t look both ways because some people go really fast and the drivers do not look at the crosswalk. So here are some advice, if there is a car coming and they don’t see you then you should put your hand up. If it that will not work then shout at them. Gorden and his dad crossed the street when a car rushed past them and his dad shouted.

From Dad:

Being aware of our surroundings saves lives.  Driving brings with it the responsibility to concentrate on the task and not trying to do something else.  Nonprofits and businesses need to promote a no cell phone use while driving, especially on town and city streets.  A few recent studies have shown that using the cell phone is liking being under the influence of alcohol. 

I was amazed that Gorden needed to remind me that adults are not being responsible and because of it young children have to be more responsible than adults when crossing the street. 

Gorden asked: Why do so many adults not use crosswalks?

Wow Gorden, you make a good observation. It is adults who drive over people using crosswalks and the adults many times do not use crosswalks to cross the street.  I guess Gorden that makes you and your friends more responsible.

Have you guys evey liked a teacher. Since their nice and their really good at teaching. Also at times if you don’t like your teachers, it just might be because they forget your a young person, including teenagers.   You might think they give you guys homework because they want to be mean, no that’s not it. They give you lots of homework because they believe that you can do it. I know that some are mean but their trying to teach you things and can get frustrated. So if you have a teacher that you don’t like, then just understand that their trying to help you learn in their style but being firm.

I just did homework and it was a pain in the #$%@. I had to do math, social studies, science, reading, writing, and chorus. I know how it feels for the kids and especially for the adults. My dad says to me “did you rush to go back on your itouch or did you do it thoughtfuly and neat?” i mean come on i’m an A/B student. So heres my advice to you, do good in school and do your homework because it comes in many forms. It can have a reward and get your where you want,  like a new school. 

 From Dad:

Each day its about balancing the priorities.  It is important to listen to both sides of an issue.

Hello everybody I’m back . Have you ever been working hard on something that you put a lot of effort on but then you forget about it. That’s why I came back to blog… There must be a way to remember, like your parents for instance have to work.   I’m not saying parents but also kids need a way to remember. Kids get to run and have fun but parents just sit on the bench. Some kids like to pretend to be parents. They do blogging, go to work and much more. I’ve  been motivated to get back to blogging.

                 Always remember that…YOU CAN HAVE FUN!!!!!!!
