"The only constant in life in change". As every
great summer comes to an end change is of the essence. With the leaves falling
and trees dropping foliage left and right, the end of summer is near. With 107
degree days coming to an end school is now in session. The first day of school is
always different, filled with change like what friends I will have in each
class, or how will my teachers be? Change is the only constant. This year
everything went smoothly, my classes were great as well as my teachers. The
once hard transition three years ago was a memory of the past. The future was
here and I was awaiting its arrival.
Plege of Allegence:
After reading an article thus putting laws on saying the Pledge of Allegiance every day I think its an outrage. I 100% disagree with the laws of punishment for not saying the pledge as well as the fact that it is required to start each day. If you don’t want to state the pledge you shouldn’t have to. It’s a direct violation of the First Amendment. Under the Constitution Americans have the freedom to speak as well as freedom not to speak. If someone does not wish to stand or state the pledge that person should not be required to do so. The laws go againsed my views on the pledge, I don’t think that it should be a requirement to say every morning, and "under god" should be taken out due to separation between church and state. I don’t think it should be eliminated but just come upon differently. The way it should work is that people who want to state the pledge should do it on their own time. It should not be a state mandated endeavor. Another thing I would change is that no one would ever be punished for not stating the pledge. In the article it specifically states that "a student in San Diego was forced to serve a detention for failure to recite the pledge". Occurrences like these are the reason America is failing. Things like this should never happen.

Your first post was very thought provoking. The quote, "the only constant in life is change" is the definition of a paradox. Yet when thought about, it makes perfect sense. It goes along with the start of a new school year and the soon to be end of your high-school career.
