Six Human Needs

Before taking the Six Human Needs Test I wasn't aware of all the necessities that i'm in need of. When I received back my results for the test I learned that I scored a 59% on Certainty, 77% on Variety, 75% on Significance, 71% on Growth, 79% on Contribution and 82% on Love/Connection. *

After taking the Six Human Needs Test, it helps me understand why I make the decisions I do and everything else I do in my daily life. Now understanding as too why all the needs I have are what they are, that I'm not quite positive as to why. As I continue to read the rest of the test and I start to figure out how my needs are what they are and I think to myself how these needs go along with the decisions I make everyday. When it come to Love/Connection I always do my best to make others happy instead of myself, but even though others don't return the favor I still do my best to show others they're loved and cared for. Asking the little questions show others they are loved and caring for them in the littlest of ways can show others they are loved im this world. 

Not exactly every one does the things I do, but reading maybe something everyone does. My reading life this year has been the most successful I've had out of my years in high school. So far I've read about 7 books, most then other years. The books I've read so far are Antigoddess, If I Stay, Delirium, The Glass Castle, Kill You Last, Marley & Me, and Sarah's key.

Believe. That's a word that everyone here's everyday. We here it in movies, shows, in song lyrics,  even your peers say it. But do we ever actually "believe". Have you ever stopped what you're doing and think if you believe then you can do anything. Believing can lead to so many things in life. You can never really get anywhere in life if you don't believe. Believing can lead to so many opportunities, can open up so many doors for one. Just imagine how everything will be like if you weren't to believe. If you're sitting at home or at school getting fustrated and fustrated every second, just thinking to yourself, "I can't do this" or "I'm not good enough for this". Thinking negative will never help you overcome those frustrations, what's best is to breath, relax and is read of repeating those negative comments in your mind, just think "I CAN do this." "I believe in myself". If repeated enough times, you may start to believe this and actually get to where your wanting to head. Don't just look partially at the word. But look tthe entire picture. Imagining the big picture is always a motivation to keep striving. So believing may be your best shot. 

Alex from Target

It was just any other day, you decide to check your social media and you see a trending hashtag, Alex from Target. What is that? You think to yourself. 

You click on the posts about it and see this picture:

Alex Lee, a regular student who attends Heritage High School in Frisco, Texas. When a friend posts this picture with a caption saying 'Yooooooooo' , the picture went viral within a few hours. Causing social media and the hearts of teenage girls going crazy. But what if as the reason for all of this idiotic trend? 

It's crazy knowing that looks can get you anywhere without lifting a finger. Alex had the opportunity to go on The Ellen Show for being 'good looking' as others say. But why make someone who does nothing but bag groceries famous? In my personal opinion, others have a reason to be famous such as  Lauren Hill. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor previously. She was expected to live for 2 more years but sadly, her life expectancy was shorten to December. Her life goal was to play on a college basketball team before her life comes to an end. She did everything she can to make that life goal come true. I could go on and on about Lauren Hill, but there are other people out there that deserve to be on The Ellen Show. Alex from Target is just another reason why social media makes things over dramatic and make things that aren't suppose to be popular, popular.

What annoys you?

Everybody has pet peeves. We all have that one thing that annoys us to the point where we want to pull your hair out of your head or even through something out the window or just cringe back in your seat. Well my pet peeve is when others are made fun of or dissed because of a genre of music they like or certain celebrities.

People shouldn't judge others based on their likings for music, musicians, celebrities, movies video games etc. Just because one doesn't like the others likings doesn't give them the right to diss theirs. We all have opinions, but some take those opinions and turn them into hateful comments. People are scared to state what they like ,when it comes to it, because of others putting them down or just making fun of them. I personally don't judge others based on their likings but rather on how they are as  a person and how they are. Society should act more like that and maybe, just maybe others won't be as scared to state what they like. 

#Writemycommunity

Lewisville High School. Probably the most united high school I know and go to. In the 3 years I have been at LHS I have never in my entire life have seen a high school that treat each other like family, even if we don't all know each other.

Whenever we have a big football game we gather together the night before and chant and scream to ones content without having anybody tell us to stop or quiet down. At the end of the gathering we all put each of our arms around each other and sway like the leaves of a tree on a windy day or the waves of the ocean whenever something splashes it. The day of the big game we all gather in one section of the bleachers, which is called the Rowdy Crowd, and do what we do the night before and encourage and cheer on our football team.

Our community treat each other like a family, like I've said before. When one of our students passed away, we gathered together and prayed for her family and mourned for those who were close and new this student. We were all deeply affected by this students lose and couldn't bare to think negative things towards this student. We all were their for each other and supported those affected by it.

Those are just some of the events and type of community we are. We all unify as one group, one class, one community, one family. We treat each other with positive attitude and respect. When you ask about us, you'll hear nothing but positivity about our community. And that's the way it's going to stay.

Your Not Alone.

Natasha Lerner was in 4th grade when it all started. Fourth grade she was diagnosed with depression. Her classroom and school had witnessed, an older student, jump off of the top of a building. The school had brought in doctors and therapists to help those over come what they had witnessed. Mostly every student there had over come and forgotten what they had witnessed, but not Natasha. She suffered through depression for 5 years.

Her best friend had started telling her she wasn't good enough, her dog had passed, her sitter had no longer been with them. After that she started asking to stay home one day, then, two, then three, then four. Pretty soon those days turned to weeks. Natasha had spent most of her time indoors and in bed. Depression took a big tole on Natasha's life. She had gone to several different doctors, therapists and took countless prescriptions. She moved from school to school, town to town. She never stayed steady while struggling with depression.

Years and years pass. She's now a freshman in high school and she's better than ever. She's settled in a school, there is less visits to therapists, less medications, and she now has friends who support her through everything.

No matter what you're going through remeber you are not alone. If you ever feel alone, talk to someone . If it's your mom, your best friend, your teacher, counselor, principal. Anyone. They can and will help you. You don't have to go through this alone. No one wants to be alone. If you ever feel like you can't do anything about it and feel it won't get better. It will. Give it. I promise everything will get better.

Pre-schooler teaches Mr. Mean a lesson

"Treat others with kindness. And when you fail at that then have the decency to own up to it. Make amends. Try again." 


Sarah Cottrell, a mother of a pre-schooler said these words after her son had amazingly stood up to a bully in the park. Cottrell took her 4-year-old  boy to the park to discard the bursting energy of her small toddler. Her son had made acquaintances with other little kids playing around in the park expect one for one little boy who was playing by himself to the side of the playground. The little boys father was just a few feet behind the kid, not encouraging him to go and okay with the rest of the little kids.

Cottrell's young boy never turned down the opportunity to make new friends, so he decided to approach the young boy but only to be blocked by the father. The young boy retreated back to the playground with the rest of the kids. The father had been using inappropriate language such as using profanity. When Cottrell's young boy tried to include the small boy into playing with the others the father strictly told him to "get out of the way." Cottrell's boy assuming he was in the way he excused himself and tried to approach the boy again from a different angle. Mr. Mean, as to how Cottrell named the man, was upset and told him to leave his young boy alone in a tone of which a young child should not be spoken by.

The young boy then stood up to Mr. Mean and with a few sentences awestruck everyone watching the scene unfold. He simply told Mr. Mean, "Hey! You shouldn't be mean! You should say excuse me! I don't like how you are talking or looking at me! You should say you're sorry when you hurt people's feelings, mister!"  Mr. Mean was stunned and did nothing but mutter and return his attention to his phone.


This 4-year-old boy amazed me on how young him being he knew that the manners of a grown man were not correct. You may think that a normal 4-year old you would coward down and run to the arms of their mother or father, but not this child, he did the appropriate thing and stood up to this bully seeing the inappropriate behavior of Mr. Mean.

Most people would find an excuse when it comes to bullying, but this kid had no excuse he saw and heard what was wrong and called it out. Most kids would leave in silence without saying a word. I'm fond of this little boy because he did what young adults and adults  wouldn't have done.
