Down with the Capitol.

Obviously with unlimited time, I'd go about my merry way learning everything about music there is to learn. I'd sing, I'd learn new instruments, I might even dance a little (and I'm white)! I could not even begin as to where I'd want to go with such an ideal. Both aptitude and attitude play a huge part in our lives, however, I feel attitude is much more important. Everyone has their own aptitude and their own unique abilities but it takes some sort of progressive and exciting attitude to pursue that talent. The attitude you put towards activities you are involved will determine the happiness it brings you. 
Our current system of grading reflects what we are, as students, required to learn. It tests us on our knowledge of what officials think we ought to know. They mainly test on how well we test. We have obviously progressed and learned that people learn in so many different ways and go about things in opposite manners. Grading should not be based on what they think we should know, but based on our potential. We should be moving towards and learning things that excite or spark today's generation. 

As Honors Mentorship has started, I am slowly learning better ways to manage my time wisely. Having this extra job added onto my schoolwork and other extracurricular activities has been tough. It sometimes becomes difficult to juggle them all; but I have learned that it is important to make sure you prioritize you commitments. This has helped me interact with a few more people and improved my verbal communication skills to an extent. HMP is the kind of class that should be widely offered and is effective in preparing young students to go into the world behind high school.
