Either you are showing up prepared or you are not.
This is my statement of truth for the day.
Also, no is a complete sentence.
Standards will not be lowered...you must rise to meet them.
As David Foster Wallace would say, "So decide."
So decide who you want to be and go be it.
So decide if you are willing to do the work.
So decide if an AP English class best suits your needs.
So decide.
So decide.
So decide.
Tomorrow is yet another opportunity to build a sandcastle and "rage" against the dying of the light.
Love and Light,
Beltran

ReplyDeleteUgh.... Our class discussion was super good, so many good responses. And what people found. It's very interesting how on the surface it seems so simple, but as you research and break it down it's a true wonder how someone so young could be so intelligent! Hope the TED Talk is amazing tomorrow!
