Quote of the Day
Quote: Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
Question: Do You think You are a Great Spirit Or a Mediocre Mind? Why do you think so?
Response: I believe that I am a great spirit. My teacher gives us star wars stickers, when we do something well. Right now I have the most (75) star wars stickers. Some students cannot accept the fact that I’m doing better than them. There not going to applaud my success, only mourn their own.
A few mediocre minds falsely
accuse me of stealing my hard earned stickers. It doesn’t matter how many times
I plead not guilty to these allegations, they keep coming back. Everyone
assumes that because I have 75 stickers in two months, I am suddenly a thief. I
really don’t pay much attention to the garbage, I try to keep my head up and
continue my journey through grade 8.
These ignorant people can’t
accept that I refuse to just do the bare minimum. I try my best to go above and
beyond in my journal responses, my math work, my blog responses and all the
other work I do. I don’t want to be the kid that was “Mr. Average” who got 5
stickers a month. I want to be the kids that Mr. Cheney, will deem worthy of
giving an example of to the future grade 8s. I will encounter flak, but I will
also move through it
