My First Day of School

My first day of school was interesting. Especially since my ex is in two of my classes. We were friends – good friends way before we were together. He left Ohio for a while; I forget why but I guess he’s back to finish school I guess. Of all places to come back to, he comes back to Cleveland, Ohio.

Anyway, that was one highlight of the day. I ran into my mother too. I haven’t talked to her or heard from her since around this time last year. She looked okay but she was pissed. She’s always pissed about something so it’s nothing new.  Classes of course were a breeze because it was the first day. It’s not what I expected though. I expected the classrooms to be tiny and filled with ignorant people who was pretty much only there for the refund check from financial aid. They actually seems as if they want to learn. My ex of course is my math partner because he’s good at math so he’s going to help me with my math as much as possible. I really hate that subject. He’s also gone take me to the air show [maybe] Monday since school is closed and Tuesday is my birthday.

With one of my classes being early in the morning and the other one that day being late in the afternoon, I find walking back and forth to school to be tiresome but in the long run it will benefit me. Walking is good exercise. It’s just a good thing I don’t live too far from the school where it’s in a decent walking distance.

I pretty much had an okay day. I just hope I succeed.

18 Schools Are to be Closed Here in Cleveland

Only 54% of the kids in the Cuyahoga school district are graduating from school. That’s a very low percentage and is why the 18 schools are being closed and a lot of teachers are being laid off so Eugene Sanders say. I’m sure there are a lot of parents that are pretty upset about this decision. Especially those who live close to that school and now have to find means of transportation to get them to a school that’s farther away.

Who is at fault for 54% of the children graduating from school? Some say its the lazy parents who don’t push their kids to learn or to actually go to school. Others say its the kids that don’t want to learn so they do what they want in school, if they even get inside the school doors. Most say that its teachers and the lack of care from the teachers. Who knows what’s true or not? The thing is this, 18 schools are going to close here, a couple years back I believe 15 schools were closed and 5-6 were demolished and all that is left is an empty lot. My city where I lay my head is becoming more of a place where dreams go to die instead of place where dreams go to live and to thrive.

I don’t understand how closing all of these schools, stuffing kids in already over accumulated classrooms is going to help the issue. If anything its going to make it worse. The icing on the cake though is RTA and its ‘budget cut’. They’re shutting down a lot of routes here which will infact cause people to lose their jobs and or drop out of school. The reason to that is because the lack of ridership and they’re trying to get out of debt. In the meantime while they’re worrying about their financial woes, people won’t be able to get to here and there without them. If anything, ridership should be rising as soon as the schools are closed. Especially if most of the kids are being sent to one specific school where there’s a bus route.

I’m truly feeling sorry for the people of Cleveland, Ohio because the kids that want to learn aren’t being acknowledged at all. They’re being stuck on the back burner and probably will be thrown into a worse predicament than it was before their original school closed. I’m sure there will be a rise in home-schooling and other means of educating children come this June or sooner. Here I thought it was bad when I was still in High School. Worse has yet to come.

If He [A Poem]

The Author to this poem is unknown. If anyone know who wrote this, feel free to tell me.

If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
If he doesn’t want you, nothing can make him stay.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship that’s not meant to be.
Slower is better. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you, as you deserve then heck no, you CAN’T “be friends.”
A friend wouldn’t mistreat a friend. Don’t settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
Don’t stay because you think, “it will get better.” You’ll be mad at
yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up.
Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.
You cannot change a man’s behavior
Change comes from within.
Don’t EVER make him feel he is more important than you are… even if he has more education or in a better job.
Do not make him into a quasi-god.
He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
Never let a man define who you are.
NEVER BORROW SOMEONE ELSES MAN! If he cheated WITH you, he’ll cheat on you.
A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
All men are NOT dogs.
You should not be the one doing all the bending…
compromise is a two way street.
You need time to heal between relationships .. there is nothing cute about baggage….. deal with your issues BEFORE pursuing a new relationship.
You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you…a relationship
consists of two WHOLE individuals…look for someone
complimentary…not supplementary.
Dating is fun…even if he doesn’t turn out to be Mr. Right.
Make him miss you SOMETIMES…when a man always knows where you are,
and youre always readily available to him- he takes it for GRANTED
Don’t fully commit to a man who doesn’t give you everything that you need. (Bullshit…)
Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
Share this with other ladies…..

You’ll make someone SMILE, another RETHINKS his/her choices, and
another man/woman PREPARE.

Man how some of y’all bitches stuck up ONLINE though? Lower them standards bitch, no one gives a fuck about that broom stick up ya ass.

Some stupid broad was conversing with and we got to the topic about online men and how they have this persona that’s totally different offline. The subject had nothing to do with her and she began saying, “If they don’t have any money pictures or look like they got money I won’t talk to them”. So I’m like wow, these men could be on the other side of the world not giving a damn about what you think of them and shit but yet you feel that you need to let men know that they have to prove something over and internet connection. I entertained her for a little while longer before she pissed me off saying, “I have high standards when it come to men online, they have to be sexy, smart, rich, straight teeth, clean house, independent, light-skinned, tall, baby mama drama free” and I forget what else she said that was on her long list of bullshit she’ll never get in her life. Anyone can be any of those things online and I’m sure she knows that and if not, she needs to go outside.

I don’t get bitches like her and I don’t think I’m truly supposed to but I can’t help but hope that bitches like her don’t be serious, but they do. They’re stuck-up and have nothing to show for it. They want these men to come to the table with all these qualities about them but they can’t even bring themselves to the table without rollers and scarves in their head with a decent pair of clothes on and a solid education. They want “baby momma drama free men” yet they have 10 kids at 24 years of age. They want these slim, muscle bound men but they fat as fuck and can’t even go up two measly stairs without calling the paramedics. The basically want someone they’re not or want someone who can take care of their asses. I don’t think I can call that being stuck-up or just plain fucking lazy. Either way bitches like that always have their hands out and its a damn shame. They always want change in their life but fail to make a damn dime.
