The CNTC's next production is going to be El Phantismo. It's a show about pirates. I play the character Pablo who is kind of a half drunk. Opening night is March 20th so you should probably come see it because it's going to be awesome.

Story 6

The knowledge in this story is important because it can literally apply to anyone. Everyone goes through those times in their life where they seem to be stuck in a rut and they can't get out. They think about and think it about so much that it almost drives them crazy. It's important to just keep a level head and think things through rationally. Instead of thinking about it too much.
Using the information in the story, I know how important it is to think about things with a clear mind. Otherwise you will end up making a stupid decision that will probably just end up making your situation worse. It's all about thinking rationally.

Story 5

Everyone should be able to relate to this because everyone has taken something for granted before. Especially us teens, we do it all the time. We always gripe and moan about our parents or school, when really our parents and teachers are some the people that care the most. I try to use gratitude as often as I can, I always try to remember to say "thank you" or "I appreciate it". It's more than that though, we should all try and take that extra step and say more than just thank you. My opinion of this story is high because graditude is something that everyone should show. It should never be denied.

1. Fill a binder with all assignments that describe ourselves.
2. Grades are up to date.
3. Work in class and in study hall
4. At least an A. It will be organized and contain good information.

Video 1

The main idea of the video is that just because two animals don't belong to the same species, doesn't mean they can't form a great bond of friendship. I learned a lot from this video. I learned that sometimes it doesn't matter if someone is drastically different than you, you can still form amazing bonds with them. My opinion of the video is that I love it, it was very heartwarming to see animals ignore the differences between them and just be friends. That's something that is very difficult for humans.

Story 4

       My opinion of the story is that everyone, no matter who they are, should show a little compassion every once in awhile.  It's part of us and it's something that makes us human. There's no reason to deny it if it's there and it won't go away. No one can do everything in this world alone, and sometimes your compassion might be the one thing that somebody needs to get through their own problems. 

       I've used this information a lot in my life, especially since my senior year got started, everyone in my group has had there fair share of issues, and we've all listened to each other a lot, because were so close to each other. We seek each other's help to get through even simple problems. 

Story 3

A lot of the time, when someone has a problem that they can't solve themselves, or they just want to vent to their friends, they seek the comfort of what we just heard about, deep listening. It's something that everybody needs every once in awhile. Just someone who will sit there and listen to everything they say. I can say that it honestly feels great to be the listener. I've done it many times for people close to me, and it gives me comfort that they trust me enough to tell me about their problems. I've also been the one who was talking, and it feels great to get your problems out from inside you. Everyone should be able to listen and be able talk.
It impacts me in a big way today, because my senior year has been full of drama and stupid problems. I've done a lot of venting to my friends, but I've also listened to a lot of it myself. It seems like every week there is a new issue that we all have to try and solve because it involves one our close friends.

Story 2

The story we listened to this time was about what  most matters to a group of teenagers.  Most of them said what you might think, being popular, good looking, being in a relationship, winning. All things you might think a teenager would say. However, there was one girl who said that kindness mattered to who. Which is good, the world could use some more kindness. Everyone who listened to this story, including me, could take something away from this. When we think about what really matters to us, think about it hard, and ask yourself, what makes you happier? For me, personally, I've always tried to be nice to people, because sometimes, people can just be complete jerks for absolutely no reason. So can't that be a two way street? Can't you be nice for absolutely no reason? 

The passage is significant to me because it shows that compassion can be in anyone. Even a group of rowdy teenagers. My group of friends is a great example of this, and I'm not afraid to gloat about them because what I'm saying is true. My friends are all great, respectful, and deeply compassionate people, and I'm proud to call them my friends. They mean everything to me, because they make the journey through life so much easier.
