So this week in class, we continued going over possible questions for our I-Search Paper. I am so back and forth with my topic that it's not even funny, Just when I think I got my thoughts together, something new pops up and a new topic inspires me to write my paper on something else. For instance, over the weekend I had watched a disturbing video of a Nigerian women beating a young toddler. The video had brought tears to my eyes because the fact that you can be so heartless and beat a small child without no care in the world is very disturbing. We hear about these stories about child abuse and children getting mistreated but to actually see it going on puts you in a different perspective. It has me thinking if a possible I Search Paper question could be " Should parents be allowed to spank their children?" or "Is spanking a child should be considered child abuse?", I mean don't get me wrong, my mother used to discipline me and my sister when we were younger but it was NEVER to the extreme and she tried several other attempts to discipline us so we can see where we are wrong rather than just hitting us. I remember a few weeks back earlier in the school year we actually had a discussion about child abuse and should parents be allowed to spank their kids so its good that my daily life and reflect to what were discussing in class. But to continue the subject on classroom discussions, one of my fellow classmates was decided whether she should do her I-Search Paper or Woman Perspective on Feminist or the Article she read about Doctor's Patient Suicide. Both are good topics so I hope she finds the best one that works for her. I hope over Thanksgiving break I can get my I Search Question finally together and start writing my paper. I think that as long as I stand true to what I believe in than it should be easy for me to decide on a topic.
Now on to my personal life, now I know from the past few blogs I consistently keeps talking about my current job put I'm sorry this is the only place where I can release all the frustration I have without hurting someone. So did you know that today I worked a 11-12 hour shift volunteerly ? Yeah. And I was told that if I came in early than I can leave early and guess who was lied too? Me. Like I get frustrated because I am a good worker, and I know they realized that, put I DO NOT like being in a situation were I'm being taking advantage of and I have no choice because when I do say something I am looked at crazy or when I have a short spazz then I'm just angry for no reason. So rather than complain I'm still looking for a new job so and also been looking up sports internships but having no luck with that as well. Still trying to stay positive and not let the little things get to me. Taking it one step at a time, bird by bird:) Until next time !
