Childlike
I work at the Children’s ministry at my church, and I greatly enjoy it. Granted some kids are a pain, and having to run around all night to watch them is tiring, but I still have fun working there. (Did i mention I don’t get paid for any of it?)
It’s an ideal job for me. First, we all still watch Pokemon. Second, we all still think that “potty humor” is funny, and third, WE GET FREE SNACKS!!
Aside from all that, there are other, more mature, reasons why i love working there.
It’s not everyday that you’re looked upon as some “super cool” or “wickedly awesome” kind of guy. But to the kids, that’s exactly what we are. We are the teenagers that will actually play with them, while all the other teenagers choose to go text. We are the teenagers are willing to do stupid things, like having chocolate pudding shoved in our faces, just to makes them laugh, while other teenagers won’t even spend time with them. That to them makes us “super cool and wickedly awesome” teenagers.
On top of that, I lead worship for the kids. Now, leading worship for the kid’s isn’t like leading worship for the adults. When the kid’s worship, it really is more about them seeing that God can be fun. So, likewise, a lot of the songs are VERY fun to play (very simple too). For instance, tonight my band and I lead them in a song called “Selfishy”. It’s about a fish who is selfish (go figure). And next we did a song about how awesome it is to have a best friend (my best friend is also in the band with me, so it was ironic in a not really sort of way.)
My point is, not only am I “wickedly awesome” in their eye’s, but i’m like a rockstar! You can’t beat the feeling of seeing of almost two hundred kids jumping up and down while you jam. It’s amazing.
Working with kid’s is something i could seriously see myself doing as a job. After all, who doesn’t like working with people who watch Pokemon as much as you do?
Beowulf, the movie
Beowulf, the movie, is an essential learning tool that helps to teach the poem. It helps the imagination of the viewer to better picture the poem when reading it, and to forces the reader to notice differences in the movie from the poem, offering a deeper understanding.
In the poem, no physical descriptions of characters are made in full detail. So when seeing a character from Beowulf, the poem, in the movie, it provides a better visual image of the character. Also, the movie portrays little details that the poem leaves out. For example, in the movie Grendel has very sensitive ear drums, which explains why he came to the mead hall after the thanes had celebrated there. These little details makes the poem come to life to the reader better than just reading it.
The movie has some major differences from the poem, making it not so true to the poem. However, it is my belief that these differences are a good teaching tool. When watching the movie, I often found myself comparing it to the poem. Comparing the two also made me rethink the story, looking back to parts that I did not understand, and because I did that, I found it easier to read the story after that
These two reasons fully explain why watching the movie Beowulf should be used to help teach the poem.
An email i sent myself as homework
I would like to begin this email by stating the awful circumstances i had to endure in order to write. Firstly, i’m in a library (books, pages, and shelves, oh my!) and secondly, it’s during school. If it were not for the fact that i’ve been walking around the halls eating Kellogg’s Animal Planet Wild Animal Crunch ceral, i’d be falling asleep in class.
My summer was both exciting and mundane, filled with various adventures that raise the hairs on your neck if they had been more exciting. I went on a family camping trip. In and of itself, that’s not too bad, but being stuck with my brother is near unbearable. Chilling out with my girlfriend was fun, but no moments really stands out in my mind. I also started playing Pokemon again (remember that?).
I feel these experiences have prepared me for yet another exciting year of school. At the moment, i don’t know how or why, but if given time, i’m sure the reasons will reveal themselves. But my goal for this year is to not almost fail… again. For anyone who’s been following the evolution of my grades, it’s pretty evident that they have been on a slight decline. Slight… haha (my report card would be a perfect example of decadence; yay, for vocabulary!).
I’ve already forgotten to do some of my algebra homework. Oh well.
thank you

I personally am opposed to the above statement. I never in anyway, shape, or form posted something like that. It’s unlogical to assume so, because it was not even 5 minutes ago when i first created this puppy.
Therefore, i’d request that all persons be alert for whoever is running around pretending to be me.
thank you
