THIS I BELIEVE - GAUGE

 Research suggests that acts of kindness and helping others release feel-good chemicals like oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine in the brain, promoting positive mood and reducing stress. Not helping others can lead to feelings of isolation, decreased empathy, and even increased mental health issues like depression. This information strengthens my belief that people should unite and help each other because in life we all need help at some point. People might look at someone who truly needs help and laugh, this is the reason I wake up every morning and always have an observing mind set. Anytime I see or hear someone asking for help I do my best to help them even if it means putting myself out of my comfort zone. 

I have always believed that you should try to help others and this one day became very important. My first day of preschool when it was time to clean up and saw children running to leave the room leaving one child to clean up the mess. Me being me I walked up and started to help him clean up the Lincoln logs, his eyes saying it all I knew he was thankful. The next day when we had free time I was asked by the same child if I wanted to play with him, of course I said yes. He then told me his name and after that I would be best friends with him for seven years, during those seven years we would gather more people. 

Helpfulness has affected my goal setting and achieving these goals by slowing me down because I take the time to people which then delays my achievement of the goal. Even though helping others delays my time of completing some goals, helping others is part of one of my goals because one of my biggest goals is teaching. I am sort of experienced in this field because anytime someone is confused in class they come to me to explain it to them in words they would understand and a pace they will also understand. Me being a person who is helpful this is how I have earned all my friends so I am always looked toward when we are assigned difficult homework. Even though I enjoy helping others it sometimes can be hard to do because the task might be hard or the same thing I have told them five times before. 

Because I know life is hard for everyone I will always believe people should unite and help each other because in life we all need help at some point. Just like Charles Dickens stated, “No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of others.” Anyone can feel loved and wanted. All it takes is one helpful act, this I believe.

My Cat By: Jenna  You and I are bonded  Like the snow that falls    when it stops, we fall, too it was Like a never-ending call that said "I will be there for you" It might be off and on, sad or happy  It might fall on the wrong person But I will always be there  Like a bunch of white flowers  That gain colors  Eyes that sparkle like a frozen lake  That feeling like when you touch cotton      Soft, but sharp  Lonely, but lovely  Smells like ocean   Fresh and blue Cute and calm  Sweet and spiritual   She's Sour candy  the only one I want to touch  The one I want to spend my life with  And just my best friend

ADALYNN - BIO POEM

  BY: Adalynn Adalynn, Who is always lazy and lounging. Who is the sister of Morgan, Cedric, and the daughter of Kelly. Who loves dance, law, and justice. Who feels out of bounds, lost, and simply along for the ride. Who needs to be alone but together, peaceful but chaotic, simple but complex. Who gives simple advice, an honest opinion even if brutal, and a good laugh to others. Who fears feeling empty,things touching my throat, and words I cannot understand. Who would like to see the German cathedrals, Italians statues, and the forbidden city of China. Who shares food, kindness, and knowledge. Who is a human, a dancer, and a gymnast. Who is a resident of Olney, Illinois. Kate.

I’m sure you’ve had at least one person give you a weird look, even though you don’t know who they are or who they are. They just judged you on appearance. They believe in a stereotype. Regardless of this, or how common it is, there is no such thing as a universally true stereotype. This is a simple belief, and even if people disagree, they cannot prove it wrong. It is a fact. You can say all people of [group] are [thing], but you’re wrong. If you’re right, it’s not a stereotype. And if it’s not a stereotype, it's not an issue. It is then not an opinion, which may be offensive, put simply. If I said “All adults are rude,” I’d be wrong. That’s a simple stereotype. Point out even a single outlier, and you’ve proven someone wrong in their stereotypical beliefs. One moment I can point out here that I’ve had to learn this was when I was playing an online game, and when I tried to talk to someone they said something rude. I don’t remember what they said, but I eventually got it out if ...
