Today in class we went over John Brown and his attempt to help stop slavery which was a bit of a fail, although he got people talking, his goal was not fulfilled by any means. I think he went about it all wrong. He didn't have enough people, information, supplies, or knowledge on what he was doing. He ended up getting others as well as himself killed. And although those weren't his intentions, he should of thought through that is was more than just a possibility that someone would get hurt.

As for my goal, I'd say on the getting fit part, I'm doing quite well. I started track, first time ever. Sometimes it can be a lot of work, but it's worth it. As for school, I think in some subjects I've been slacking, which is not good at all. But I'll try to work on that.

So I found this picture via Facebook. I think this definitely follows through with the whole lesson we've been learning about with which states were anti-/pro- slavery, as well as tying in the election. I've also been hearing a lot of talk from my teachers about history repeating itself... this is not to say that Romney is for slavery or anything, not to my knowledge, at least. But those same types of people live in the same place and support the same things. Not only are Southerner's known to be racist, but they also are against a lot of groups that have been given or are trying to get rights in America, including women and gay rights. So what is that saying about our country? Our thoughts are almost completely divided in two,

My Goal

So our new assignment was to make a goal and report each week as to how well we are -or aren't- following through with it. I decided to make my goal to be a healthier person. Now I don't mean healthy as in I'm going to go on a silly diet, but I mean eat healthier, exercise, go to sleep earlier, do better in school, and just become a better, healthier version of myself. I started it yesterday and went to sleep at 8:00, which is a lot better then my usual routine if 12:30-1:00. I've also been trying to drink water instead of other drinks, and a lot of it.
