Adora Svitak

Adora Svitak couldn't have been more spot on. Adults need to realize, or start to learn, that sometimes kids are going to be smarter than them or have better ideas than them. As kids grow up we are introduced to new experiences that teach us the difference between right or wrong, what makes other people happy or sad, or what could make a certain situation/idea better. If adults where more open minded to our thoughts on how to better a situation, for example the rules that we have in school maybe we would follow them. Kids grow up to become who they want to be based on the mistakes they have learned from in the past... Kids express themselves through the art of creativity which adults are close minded to I feel. All-in-all, Adora Svitak makes excellent points that adults need to learn from kids just as much as kids need to learn from adults.

Perspectives

"The grass is always greener on the other side." 

Is it? As far as I'm conceded, you put me up so you couldn't see the other side, so why are you making assumptions someones life is better than yours based on there appearance? One half of me is here for you, the other side of me however is for your neighbor, pretty two faced of me huh? See, with the help of me though I can divide the space between you and your neighbor... But because of you, I have no room to wiggle, or make new friends or even decide if I wan't to be with your neighbor! I'm stuck with the piece of wood to my left and the piece of wood to my right.

Oh great, change... So now you decide it would be nice to paint over me. How would you like that? How would you like to go from black to white, from white to black? Thats what I thought. You put me through a lot though. Little do you know that ever time you paint or seal me I cant breathe until this sticky smelly chemical filled shit you decided would make me "look nice" dries. Thank you for that. 

You have go to be kidding me, you got a dog. Now this dog is going to decide it would be nice to take a nice pee, and nice big smelly dump right on top of me so me and all my neighbors can smell it. How would you like that? If there was nothing you could do to control it, you cant speak up about something you don't like, and you sure as hell cant defend yourself against the evils of the world (in this case the god damn puppy) yeah you wouldn't like it now would you? Well this is my day to day life as a fence. Yes, a fence. 

Its strange to think of life through the perspectives of objects that you would normally think nothing of. But its even stranger to think of how similar the feelings you make share with this object may be...

On the bright side, when life isn't going your way think hey, atleast I'm not a fence.

Courage

An experience I have had with courage is one that I am having right now. Right now, I am finding out having courage is harder than you think. Everyone is always thinking that they will build up this strong personality where they could stand up to a bully, or speak there mind, which I thought I could do. However right now, where I have to open up to a classroom full of students who I don't know and don't know me besides what they hear and what they see in school proves me wrong. Some might be able to sit here and wright about a personal courageous experience, some might be able to make one up, and some like me might be sitting here stumped thinking I don't want anyone to know that or this isn't believable. Opening up to how I feel right now is courageous. I have to be honest with myself.  Opening up to anyone is courageous and something I normally wouldn't do. Normally I would make up a story that other people would have found interesting or cool. This experience is courageous to me because it pushed me outside of my comfort zone, make me think about if wether or not I can build up the courage to open up, and made me think about not hesitating and just doing what i'm thinking not what would make me "socially acceptable".
