broken

Almost anything can relate to glass. Once it is broken it cannot be fixed exactly how it was. Life. Once someone hurts you, you start to put up walls and have trust issues. When youre sick you lose cells that you might never get back. Friendships. Once someone breaks the trust it will never be the same. You will not act the same around that person. you possibly will never be friends with them again. You may not be able to find a friend ever again. Food. Once it breaks it falls into crumbs and will never be the same. If you cut pieces of food than it cannot be uncut. Many things are like glass and cannot be fixed. Life, relationships, and food are just some examples. Nothing can ever be fixed exactly how it was before it was broken. Even if you fix a car the piece will not be the same as the manufacture had it. Sometimes things are better when they have been broken. Once you lose your trust issues you create stronger ones. You don't have friends that you tell everything to because they start rumors. Once rumors are spread your self esteem gets broken and you have to fix it. You may have less self confidence and have to wait for that perfect someone to come and make you whole again. Even though things are broken people will still find them treasures. People would rather have a broken cookie than a whole one or broken chips rather than big ones. Everyone has been broken and you just have to pick and chose what you can put up with.

welfare

Welfare is causing many problems in today's society. Most of the people that receive welfare should not receive it. They spend their money on alcohol and drugs and not to support their families. They don't try to get jobs, instead they live off the money the government is giving you. Many people are ok with this. I think that there needs to be higher standards in order to receive government assistance. I think that they need to have a job and take tests and be free of drugs and alcohol. In order to have a good life for their families they need to improve their lives first. In they are in a different state of mind they aren't taking care of their kids and should not receive assistance. They should be the parental role that they chose to be. If they wanted to live the party life they live they should not have had kids. The kids should not grow up taking care of themselves. They should have a role model, food on the table, clothes on their bodies, and a shelter to live in. They need to live a life that they want their kids to live.

the little things

Its the little things in life that truly mean the most. Yesterday we cooked our pastor and his family dinner for pastor appreciation month. We delivered it to their house and they were beyond grateful. It was so awesome to see the smiles on their face.
You don't realize what you have until you see someone else who doesn't have it. They are struggling to get by. I am truly blessed to have a shelter over my head,clothes on my body, and food on my plate every night. It's so hard to believe that some people don't have that. The objects we take for granted are the objects that some people would love to have. It doesn't hit you that the life you live is not that bad compared to all of the other people in the world. we have clean water that comes straight to our house where as Africans spend one third of their lives going to get water that isn't even clean. What if everyone lived the lifestyle that we live? Would the world be a better place?

get to know me

My make is Becca Schutte and I am a graduate of Chillicothe High School. I combined my junior and senior years online and graduated a year early. I will more than likely attend Ohio University Chillicothe for all four years to complete my degree. I want to major in early childhood education to become a preschool teacher. I will probably have a minor in special needs by the time I am through college.
I have been working part time at Hobby Lobby for over a year how to help pay for college. My grandparents are paying for my first year so I have another year to save up because college isn't free.
During fall quarter I am taking 17 credit hours along with working part time. I will stay heavily loaded in order to make sure that I can get into the education program this summer. I cannot wait until I am able to start working with kids and observing them.
Teaching has always been what I have wanted to do. I remember playing school with my grandma when I was little and making her do extra worksheets that I got from class that day. Children are my Passion and I can't wait to influence their lives and help them have the building blocks they need to move on in this world.
My mom worked in a child care center the whole time I grew up. I was always there playing with the kids or helping the teachers. I fell in love with it over the year and couldn't think of doing anything better in my life. Most people would think I would be sick of it from dealing with all the behind the scenes work it takes. I cannot wait to have a class of my own and plan activities for them to do. I can't wait to watch them grow I.to the personalities they have. Teaching is a special job because what better thing is there to walk into a room of young children that will put huge smiles on your face all day. Being able to be with them so young and to watch the thinking process and what goes through their mind is so entertaining to watch. Every child has a different reaction to something that might be the smallest thing in your eyes but the biggest in theirs. I cannot wait to finish these four years and to start being with kids as they grow in life. Watching them become the person you thought they would be and seeing them years later. The greatest accomplishment you could have is them coming to you years later and saying that you made an impact in their lives.

running

Why do we run from so much. We run from life, people, and anything else that might come in our way. We don't stop until we find a solution, and maybe not even then. We run our minds when we think, our mouths when we talk, and our legs when we walk. We are always on the go. From school to work and to eat. We don't have the time to just sit down and enjoy a moment of rest. If our legs are stopped our months are going, if our mouths aren't moving our fingers are typing. Our body needs time to relax. The only time it actually relaxes is when we are sleeping through the night. I'm going to make it my goal to start taking time out of the day to relax, and spend some time for myself.

equations

Life is like a math equation, the more variables you add in the harder it gets. When we were kids all we had to add together was our family and friends. As we get older we add in school, issues with friends, issues with boys, and anything else that might come in your way. Life gets harder as you grow. Just like when we were little all we had to do was add together 1+1, now we have to add 3x+5b+7z=y. more factors come into play which complicate your situation. Sometimes I wish that life still consisted of the 1+1 equations, where we don't have to think about the problems that play a huge role in our life. We have to plug in the right number to get the perfect solution. The end result should be happiness and the factors that add up can vary depending on your lifestyle. At the end of our lives we should come up with the perfect solution from trial and error as we go through our years

my mind is a million places right now

Why is it so hard to understand people? Their are so many ways to misjudge people by how they say something. They can come of as rude and sarcastic even if they are just trying to be nice and calm. It's even harder to understand how people are saying something through text or over the internet. Unless it is really obvious that they are upset or unless you really know them and how they talk you will never know how they mean to say something. There have been many times where I have almost gotten into arguements because either I or someone else has translated what was said the wrong way. Communication is taking a toll downwards. The easy access to phones and the internet is not helping at all. There would be less arguements if there wasn't such an easy access to these objects.
I don't understand how there are a million web sites and I can't find exactly what i'm looking for or at least anything close. I have to do an example essay and I can't figure out what exactly it is and what to write about. I have read the chapter in my book multiple times and I have been trying to find out online for the past hour. I can't find it. Maybe im just reading my sources wrong and it is all right in front of me. I am probably making it much harder than it actually is. I have a tendency to do that. I can think of the simplest objects or tasks to do and can't figure out what they are. This should be a no brainer essay but I can't wrap my finger around what exactly it is asking. It makes me mad thinking that everyone else understands what is it and I can't understand for the life of me.
With all of the websites that are easily accessed it can create problems. There are numerous websites where people can get seriously hurt from. Even though you can't get hurt physically over the internet you can get cyber bullied. There are a rare amount of sights that actually have a monitor on what you can and can't say. Facebook for example is one that doesn't. It makes it so easy to pick on someone. You can post anything you want to your wall even if it is about someone else. You can tag the person you are talking about in the post and it will show up on their page and everyone will know exactly who you are talking about where before unless you included their name it was a guessing game. You can send private messages that only that person would see so they would not have any help if things did get out of hand because no one would see it to speak up about anything. You can post nasty comments on pictures that people have posted that can hurt anybody no matter how strong you are. It's becoming a game to see how many others people can hurt. I don't like it. I don't think it is necessary to put it out for the world to see. Many times during an interview for a job the employeer can look up their social network sights and see the pictures they are tagged in or the posts on the wall. There could be a picture that you begged your friend not to put up but then you got in a fight and they uploaded it. That single picture could cost you your dream job. I would never want to destroy someone's dreams so I stay out of all of the drama. Formspring is another example of a sight that could destroy someone. You ask others anonymous questions so people don't know who is asking them. There can be some pretty harsh questions that people have asked just to make someone upset. Most of the times it works. There are so many kids who get cyberbullied and put a stop to it by ending their lives. There is no reason that people should push a kid to commit suicide. You can only bully a person so far until they reach their breaking point. I think that there should be a monitor set in place to control what people are saying on social media sights. There are so many people that can't see the light at the end of the tunnel because they are constantly getting knocked down. It's not the right thing to do. It's becoming a serious problem and nobody is putting a stop to it.

talking

Why is that everytime we have to speak on front of people we pause, stutter, and make a fool of ourselves. Yesterday i had to start prayer at my bible study and I was at a loss of words. I didn't know what to say. When I pray by myself i can do it for hours. Today I had to give a speech and i got really nervous. I can hold a conversation with anybody so why do I freeze in front of people? My guess is that I feel that they are judging me. That I'm going to fast or to slow. That I'm really boring. I don't know why I get that way. When I used to sing in front of people I would break out in hives. Maybe because I think people might say I'm a bad singer. I hate not pleasing people so that might be my problem. I guess I'll never know.
