CathOlic schOol banS mySpace!!!

The Detriot News reported that a Michigan Catholic school called St. Hugo Of the Hills Catholic School will no longer allow students to have myspace pages. In order to escape the risk of suspension students must erase their pages. The school plans to make the staff members monitor the site for student activity.

From my point of view, I find this very stupid to force the students to delete their pages. Even if the students abide by this rule, there are still many social websites available online.

Do you think the school is being irrational? If you attended this school, would you delete your profile or go against the school's orders? Explain your answers

I AM SOMEBODY!

Today I learned that your inside is most important. Once that is solved, the outside can be much brighter for you. I always used to compare my efforts and achievements to those of others. But I learned the need to separate myself from others when deciding upon intentions of what I choose to do. Only you know truly what is right for you. Comparisons happen when you do not find enough within yourself to be content with. You cannot be confident of yourself alone. So try to prove to yourself, and perhaps others, that you are just as good, and even sometimes better at certain things than them. We are all different in personality, desires, and attributes; so, we all have different strengths and weaknesses. But the important thing is that you are happy. This can only be achieved if you make it happen yourself. I’m not saying helping others should be overlooked, but it is something we all should do. Even though we’re immersed in competition, it doesn’t mean we can’t set our own personal goals of achievement in the race. Decide what is right for you. And when you have achieved what you want, don’t let it be overshadowed if someone has done it better. You fulfilled what you set out to do.

“Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.”
