The proposed charter school bill passed in the Mississippi Senate and will move forward to the House of Representatives. It will head to the House's Education Committee where efforts for charter schools have always failed. A charter school is a state funded public school that operates independently of the local school district. I think it would be a good idea to have charter schools in Jackson. I think that the school would be more hands on with the students and may require that the students will be at a school a little longer but that's fine. That way it will give them something productive to do with their time instead of running the streets. 

Do you believe that charter schools will actually succeed or be another example of "No Child Left Behind" when children are actually being left behind in school ?

Mardi Gras

What does Mardi Gras mean to you? What is it all about?

Mardi Gras to me means celebrating with big parades and wearing green,gold,or purple. Festivities where you just celebrate and have a good time where beads are thrown. I think that Mardi Gras is just about having a good time. Have you ever celebrated Mardi Gras in Louisiana or on the Coast?How was it? Or did you have any other memories from Mardi Gras? Mines is that I had a birthday party and had a cake decorated with things related to Mardi Gras like beads and other things.

Success

What is your definition of success?

My definition of success would be to achieve your highest goal that you have set forth for yourself. Being successful doesn't always mean being known or receiving a lot of money. To me, it means pleasing yourself and then receiving the praise of others. Do you feel that you have to be successful by being on TV?

Poor Living in a Rich Man's Country

"I've never been poor, only broke. Being poor is a frame of mind. Being broke is a temporary situation." -Mike Todd

In my opinion what Mike Todd is saying, is that people are never poor. They are just broke and that only lasts temporarily because it will only be a spell that you are going through where you might not have much to your name. I believe that no one is ever poor because if they have a good state of mind or wisdom, their soul is still rich. Being broke make refer to money. Do you feel like you have to be underpaid or overpaid in this world to survive?

It's In His Hands

"We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall"-Proverbs 11:33

We may have in mind what we want to do in life, but the Lord is the ultimate decider of how everything will go & if you'll actually be able to do so. We can do all that we want, but it's still in His hands. Have you ever been in a situation where you thought that everything you did was just right, but still in the end found yourself come up short? Why do you think this happened?
