Silence

During the silence in class, as a class we experienced a very awkward moment. It was not that we had never been in a silent situation i class before, but we had never started class without the teacher telling us what to do so we felt uncomfortable. Therefore, being high school students molded by years of classes, we were in utter confusion. Thus, we did not know how to react to a new style of teaching. This can teach us the life lesson of always being open to new ideas. Many students I felt were looking at each other with expressions that were thinking along the lines of 'this is stupid.' However, if they were in another area these looks could have been thought of as very rude. For example, as a Jew, I am not used to the way that a church is run. Therefore, when I was required to go into a church for a Hebrew School field trip, I did not know how to react. When the people knelt down to pray, I was looking up and smiling at friends (with that 'this is stupid' look) in the awkward silence, and many people thought that I was being quite rude. Therefore, during the times of awkward silence we need to think of why this is going on and not be afraid of the situation. Also, it is only awkward if you make it awkward.

Sup

Dear People Reading This,

I'm Joey. Im pretty relaxed and only like wearing compfortable clothes. Also, I like to play guitar and sports. I am also in a band called On The Fly, with Connor F., Carson L. and Steve S. U should buy a shirt they are only $15 (It will be the greatest investment of your life). In my life my biggest influences are the people in my favorite bands (Blink 182, FTSK, GNR, Metallica, and Pearl Jam). My goal in life is to be lead guitarist in a famous band. Also, I hope to go to college for business and music but I don't really know what school I want to go to. Maybe OSU, IU, or Santa Clara. Thats about it. I hope u liked it.

From,
Joey
