Today I realized that the people I befriend and spend time with will have a great impact on who I will become. I accidently learned this at school when I sat next to a class student who is deeply focused in school.
If I want to be focused in school, pay attention in class and get good grades, whoever I choose to sit next to in class will have a great impact on how well I will do it. I don’t know how your high school works/worked, but in mine, there are two kinds of people; the people who talk and the people who read.
Situation; Talkers)
In my English class I have a group of friends I get along with really well, however, they are talkers. When I sit next to them, I always end up talking through the whole class. It is not in line with what I want to do, but I cannot help it.
Situation; Readers)
In my math club there are a couple of students who work really well together; they are always so quiet, and whenever they are talking they are helping each other with math problems. Whenever I am there I end up being just as deeply focused as they are.
Whether I choose to sit with the people I get along with best or the people who have the same goals as me, it will determine my educational future. (This is similar to what I became aware of today, but it is not precisely the same. It is meant as an example, and the idea of what I need to work on)If I want to be focused in school, pay attention in class and get good grades, whoever I choose to sit next to in class will have a great impact on how well I will do it.

You have probably heard this quote; “Choose your friends wisely.”
I will certainly make better choices for myself by choosing my friends wisely.
Making conscious choices on whom to befriend will help YOU on the direction in life that YOU want to go.

ReplyDeleteJeg vil ikke ha en slik diskusjon her, men jeg har en kommentar til spørsmålet ditt. I mine øyne er dette et forsøk på trakassering; ikke vet jeg hvem du er siden du ikke oppgir en identitet, men de eneste personene jeg kommer på som ville ha skrevet noe sånt må være eks-venner, eller venner av eks-venner. Uansett, det eneste du klarte å oppnå var å fornærme vennene mine ved å si at kanskje jeg ikke har valgt vennene mine klokt? Bravo, du burde være stolt av deg selv ;)
Du skriver utrolig bra, liker måten du framstiller emnene på. Det gir et annet perspektiv på meninger og tanker om ting. Hvis du vil, kan du se på bloggen min?:) Er vel en blogg i samme kategori som din;)

Hvordan kan du si at jeg er en eks-venn? Hva vet vel du om jeg ikke er en av de nermeste vennene dine pr. i dag?? Dømmer du tidligere venner for å gjøre noe de kanskje ikke har gjort?
ReplyDeleteTusen takk Silverx,
ReplyDeleteHar tatt en titt innom bloggen din. Jeg må si jeg er imponert over hvor flinke dere er til å skrive for å være to fjorten åringer :) Kommer til å følge med videre =)
Til Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteOm du er en venn, eks-venn eller en random idiot – ikke kommer jeg til å prøve å spekulere videre på det; det er ubetydelig. Men kan du i det minste forholde deg til det du først skrev uten å gå usaklig og bruke hersketeknikker?
Hva er det du egentlig ønsker å oppnå med dette?
hei=) har du sjekka bloggmailen din? har skrevet en mail til deg, hvis du ikke har sett det.;)
ReplyDeleteJeg har besvart e-posten din nå Phillip. Takk for fine ord :)
ReplyDeleteMå desverre si at jeg ikke har mottatt noen mail..Kan du sjekke at du sendte til riktig mailadresse? :)
ReplyDeleteDet virker som om epost-en ikke ble sendt, men den ble heller ikke lagret som utkast. Beklager at dette skulle være så innviklet, men jeg får heller besvare den på nytt når jeg har litt bedre tid :)
ReplyDeletePhilip,
ReplyDeleteJeg har nå besvart e-posten på nytt - og jeg håper du er fornøyd med svaret :)
