Journal #8

8. If you were to describe yourself using a quotation, what would that quotation be? After you have chosen a quote, then write a bit about how it relates to you and reveals what kind of person you are.

"I have no fear for the future, because i see the light, i see the truth, and it is bright with hope"~~ Herbert Hoover. During the great depression where evrybody was unhappy with the conditions they were living with and sufferred through economic struggles herbert hoover attempted to inspire his people with this quote saying that in the future their situation will get better. And later on the citizens of the U.S were able to overcome their struggle and fix their economic situation. I believe that the quote is relevant to our situation in the school because right now we are facing one of the biggest issues we have ever faced as a school. Our administartion is new, some programs are getting cut, teachers are getting fired, students show little or no descipline and school spirit, our music and sports departments are going down, the media is out to get us, and we are portrayed throughout the county as corrupt and ghetto. I know this is a difficult issue and that it may take a while for us to overcome it, but i feel the same way that herbert hoover felt like during the great depression. He believed that the issues would get resolved in the future and that everything will get better. When i think about the issues concerning our school and reflect on this quot i belive that hoover is right and i do believe things will get better in the future. I also see that the future of our school and of our education will improvein the next few years and there will be hope for us all. This crises we are facing, we will overcome it and we will be able to move on in the future.
