Education is wrongly structured #amilikey

 

            Good Morning bloggers of the world!! I have to speak up because I have lived it for far too long, this notion that reading and watching all this baloney of information is somehow going to make me a more well-rounded person. In my current and past lectures, I have been obligated to view content that is neither edifying or constructive in any way. Why must the education system continue to waste the time of so many young people or people attempting to be educated with pointless information? Why can't the school system be tailored to produce individuals that are capable of deductive reasoning and analysis instead of summarizing articles of nonsense? I tell you why, they want to waste our precious time and monetize the curriculum that should serve as a production of good wholesome citizens and manipulate the algo rhythm of how successful you can be if you are made to believe a one fit model for all. The school system prides themselves on selling you a ticket to debt in the form of higher education, and they do not advocate entrepreneurship or other avenues of career choices that also yield a good steady income. 

          I wasted a whole year in high school taking only two classes I needed to graduate, while the rest were just to fill in the blank and add to a GPA that never even matter because I was already on my way to a community college which did not require a minimum GPA as long as you were a high school graduate or a GED holder. I would radicalize the school system and implement avenues for the youth to not only graduate with the basic understanding of life, but also with the ability to face life with adequate skills like basic home economics. Offering parenting skills course is just one small feature of so many others that must be implemented for creating a better society. 

      I would reduce high school curriculum to the first two years to ensure their reading and writing is up to part of the average adult reader. Eliminate the higher mathematics that will never be used by students unless they pursue a science based career. The remaining two years will be solidified in just one more year of learning the basic skills of life like home economics and driving. Instead of having courses like history that add no value to our present life, we should be teaching them survival skills for when a person gets injured or is having a heart attack. These skills are far more important than learning what empire defeated who in some B.C. year. Every high school graduate should be CPR certified and should know the basics of assisting a person who has been injured until the professional medical team arrives. Another great option would be to have half the day served as an actual employee of something minimalist a student can perform while being in school. Create an entire agenda of going to work within the classroom setting to start gaining access to employee skills so many current laborers lack in the market. 

       Compensate them for that "job" and make them appreciate the reward of working by earning an income they can call their own. It allows them to still enjoy being young without losing their freedom to be social and enables them to learn before immersing themselves head on into the workforce without any experience of what it means to be a responsible and productive employee. It would require a lot of detailed planning, but this concept is executable in the real world. Wouldn't be nice to graduate from high school with actual skills that prove you know how to do something verses a piece of paper that only reflects how smart you are? It would be totally nice!!

      Higher education has also extended the years people earn their degrees in order to milk the cows aka the students for money majority of us do not have available while being a student. Instead of emphasizing the expertise that can be shared and given while they learn their actual career skills like becoming a teacher or a doctor. Instead of requiring all these nonsense prerequisites that add no value to making you a better professional, why not invest in hands on training on how to be a great teacher and doctor. Extend the actual time of practice versus the textbook overload of information that will never be applicable on a day to day basis. 

      I hope one day I can be the voice of reason to many lost souls who need guidance to making the right career choices by offering them a place to seek real counsel. A community center that strives to exalt the skills God have you personally and turn it into a career you can be proud of and happy with at the same time. A place where everyone is welcomed and no compensation is required because it will be sponsored by those already in good standing. Here you will find opportunities for growth and development without hesitation and prior experience is not expected to be an active participant.       

            Anyways, back to reality I have only one more stupid assignment to dread going through before I have to waste my time reading more nonsense and listening to ideology that leaves me empty. So with all of that let me get back to my main goal of spreading encouragement and reminding myself and others you are not a mistake because God that created you is perfect and He cannot make mistakes. You are here for a plan and a purpose so allow Jesus into your life and discover that plan for your life to be fulfilled. Thank you and remember leaving a small comment or feedback is always welcomed!!

Tell All Annual 5K Race 2025 #Amilikey

 

        Hey everyone!!! So I am still battling it out in these last three weeks left of the spring semester for my prerequisites for nursing. I forgot how much time is actually required to complete a full 13 credit hour semester on top of working full-time too! Obviously looking back I could have taken only three courses instead of 5, but you always live and learn. I wanted to get all my prerequisites done as soon as possible, so that I could start the actual journey in nursing school. It definitely is delicate balance between wanting to jumpstart the process and also starting on the right footing. 

      I had planned to be already transitioned into my new position at work over 8 months ago, and that really set me behind financially. My goal was to utilize my new position to earn more income and finally get the personal MOT I've always been lacking. Not being able to drive is true constriction on my life in every aspect, and I hate having to deal with it/explain myself every time someone gives me the "crazy" eye look - as in how is that even possible at your old age? It is so demoralizing and such a frustrating thing to have to defend the situation as to not make myself look so pathetic. Anyways, my point being is that I cannot go back to being a full-time student in an actual pursing career without a car. I cannot keep this necessity active for much longer and a new chapter in life has to start sooner than later. 

     So to the actual topic of the day, I completed another successful 5K race a week ago in the downtown Tampa firehouse station. I have been participating in this race for three consecutive years now, and it is my most important race of all the ones I've been able to complete. Also for reference I don't have many, but this one was my official first one in person and the purpose for raising the funds is very dear to my aorta as a pediatric now adult burn survivor myself. You think they would give me an extra appreciation token for being basically only female burn survivor in the race. At least an extra souvenir or allow me to be at the front of the race just as a sentimental recognition value, but neither one of those applies. It's like I am almost not even there, and it's hurtful to be perceived as a nobody. 

    This year I was able to get there a bit earlier than last year, so that was nice because within a few minutes it tends to get super crowded and it's a bit annoying too. It sucks I always have to go at it alone, while everyone else is in their little groups and clicks just having a good time. I did invite people at work and even someone from my church but everyone said no because they were unavailable. I am not hiding and I literally am not even wearing headphones so people don't say, "well she was unapproachable." Just for the exclusive viewers I had this idiotic idea that I would have been dating someone by then for a while long enough for him to propose to me at the finish line. Just me and stupid scenarios that never come true at all. I only improved 7 seconds from last year and that still sucks to my personal ego. I recognize I didn't train as hard and working two days prior to the race also caused a lot of struggle to get the proper rest I needed for the race. 

      The part I always enjoy the most is the last speed dash coming to the finish line. I probably bolted as fast as I could only the last 100 feet left of the race. I wish I could race like that for much longer, then my timing would be incredible. Major Lol. I also liked being able to sit down and watch everyone else come behind me! I get to see all the people I beat and that is very delightful especially when they are taller, younger, and better physically built than me. Overall, it was another race in the books for me, I gave it almost all I had considering the 2 hours of sleep I got the night before the race. It was hot outside and that plays a role in the fatigue element of the race. I actually didn't notice any eye candy this time around, and that's all due to how tired I was in that moment. 

    Well, if you want to see me right after the race, I also posted a short video on my YouTube Channel if you want more of a visual summary. So with all of that let me get back to my main goal of spreading encouragement and reminding myself and others you are not a mistake because God that created you is perfect and He cannot make mistakes. You are here for a plan and a purpose so allow Jesus into your life and discover that plan for your life to be fulfilled.

Social Injustice #amilikey

 

  

      Hello my fellow bloggers!! I have been preoccupied like crazy and it was been exhausting. I admit I definitely signed up for more courses than I could chew on, because I have no break. All I do is go to work and on my days off do nothing but homework nonstop. It feels frustrating not having actual down time to do the things I like, like training for my 5K and just being able to go out and have fun. 

     I genuinely have no real friends in life to hangout with at all; however, I would still like to go out on my own at the least. I only have friendly acquaintances and long distance pen pals. So it definitely sucks having no one to socialize with, but I have had bad company in the past and it was not worth it at all.  Perks of being the outcast in society, you get plenty of alone time. 

     Anyways, I wanted to talk about the social injustice that has been happening for all eternity, but more frequently to the minorities. People are always blaming the hard working migrants for their own personal failure and overall social crime rates when it was only a few bad apples like in any other race. In the one class that has been robbing me of all my time, I have learned about more cases that reflect these injustices to all different minorities. It breaks my heart to discover that someone like Vincent Chin was brutally murdered over someone loosing their job at a car factory. Vincent did not fire these men that attacked him and he had nothing to do with their personal failure in the labor force. No one stopped or prevented this from happening either, which is also extremely disturbing because someone could have stepped in and tried to save him. Another great example of why drinking at bars always leads to tragedy in one way or another. 

     Vincent died at the hospital in 1982 in Detroit after being beat up to death all because he was an Asian and these men assumed he was Japanese. These two men wanted to take out their anger at losing their job because Japanese automobile imports were on the rise. Chin was Chinese and he was just enjoying his night out celebrating his engagement. These two men were never charged with murder and did not serve barely any time in jail. The judge gave them a bogus fine and sentenced them to community service hours. I am a thousand percent sure, had it been a white male brutally beaten and murdered by a minority they would have sentenced them to years and years of prison. 

      Social injustice happens to all types of people in life, but the minorities have always had a greater dose of this punishment far greater than the rest. The media has always targeted migrants as being criminals because there are those few cases that stain our reputation like the Narcos from Colombia. I propose that government officials realize how hypocritical their policies are towards migrants which happen to minorities. Immigration from Latin America did not initiate in recent years, it has been cultivated and nurtured through policies that America created and sponsored throughout generations. America has always benefitted from the labor minorities have provided to build America, yet they act as if we are not worthy to be recognized for the growth found in America. 

        If Americans, which also do not originate from America but Europe, are afraid to loose their identity to the vast influx of migrants: they can provide a resolution to allow migrants to pass the border with permission to work legally. There could be a policy in place where migrants can work legally and pay taxes, but are not considered citizens. They can become eligible for citizenship after a 40 years wait period, which would prevent them from reaping all the benefits Americans are worried about them having or taking part of like voting. Migrants only want to be able to work and have a decent life for themselves and their families. America needs the labor, why make it so inhumane to cross over all because some Americans feel like they don't deserve a piece of the pie? 

      Crossing the desert to get to the border is just a heart-breaking ordeal that people are willing to endure because it's their only hope for a better future. No human should have to die in the desert and remains eaten by vultures, all because some people envy their work ethic and desire to survive. I know nobody agrees with this notion of letting all people come in to work, but obviously there would be a regulation to monitor that their purpose is fulfilled. A background check would be in place to rule out any potential threats. A system of labor activity would be up and running to guarantee that those allowed to come to America are actively working and contributing to society through lawful means of work. Those who do not produce a constant active work status for more than a three month break period between jobs, would be deemed eligible for deportation as failure to maintain active working status. Only a few legitimate reasons would be valid for longer break times like health issues or severe tragic situations that happen in life like becoming a full-time caregiver to an incapacitated family member. 

        My proposal is reasonable and can work if people actually had compassion for one another. There is so much hatred in this world, and yet we all bleed the same red blood of different actually types but all human blood is red. I hope and pray for all my minority brothers and sisters that positive change in policies come to pass. I face injustices all the time because of my own appearance, but I have learned to see beyond the assumed stereotype of all people. Everyone deals with some trauma or life struggles, why look down on them for it or show hatred because they have a different lifestyle? We shouldn't and we need to show compassion for all. 

     As always thank you for stopping by and learning a little bit more about me and what I think. So with all of that let me get back to my main goal of spreading encouragement and reminding myself and others you are not a mistake because God that created you is perfect and He cannot make mistakes. You are here for a plan and a purpose so allow Jesus into your life and discover that plan for your life to be fulfilled.
