My memory as a child is a big blurr. When i was real young there is only one remembery that I can remember clear as day. The only one I do remember is one of me falling down the stairs. I don't remember exactly how old i was but i remember my dad was suppose to be watching me while my mom went downstairs to do the laundry. My dad passed out and I wanted to be by my mom. So i grabbed my 3 wheeler and went to find her. I decided to try and ride my 3 wheeler down a flight of 20 stairs. It defenetly did not work out i tumbled down them and hit the concrete hard. That is the only memory that is embedded in my brain from my childhood. It is weird that the only thing i can remember is a bad memory.
Some of my other memories or mostly just the picture. Like I remember that I went to disney land but I couldn't tell you what rides i went on, or what we did while we were there. The only thing I remember is I was there. The memory of my falling down the stairs on the other hand I remember everything. I remember my mom putting me on the couch next to my dad as he was laying down and saying " Get up John I'm going to do the laundry. You better not fall asleep and make sure Tyler doesn't follow me". I remember being at the top of the stairs and pausing, looking down them and deciding to do it anyway. I remember my moms face as I was coming down them. I also remember how bad my mom started bugging out on my dad for doing exactly what she said not to do. The thing I can't remember though is if i was badly hurt or not. I don't understand how the brain can remember an entire part of a memory but forget an important part of it. Besides that memory i can't remember anything until i started getting into sports when i wsa 5 or 6.

Design a Curriculum
After being in Central Regional High School for the past 4 years I have always preached about how horrible this school is. I always preached about how it could be made better and how the flaws in our system are terrbile. How unjustied the punishments are for doing nothing wrong at all. So if i were to design a curriculum i know exactly how it would be ran. Everything would be so much different then how this school is set up. This school is set up for failure and i know how to change that.
As for class scheduling goes. In high school it would defenetly be different then how it is now. Math, english, and history will obviously stay. Math is everywhere you go and you need to know how to spell and all that good stuff. And what is a country if it doesnt know it's past? Science would be an elective in Sansone High. Like come on when will 90% of us every need anything we have ever learned in science? So it would be an elective so people who do want to use it in their life can take it. There would be no spanish and other languages as classes. This is america where we speak English, want to know another language go to another country. Art and music and all the practical arts would remain electives for inspiring yourng artist at Sansone High. Gym would defenetly still be manidtory. No one wants a bunch of fat overweight unhealthy kids running around. Also I would add classes. Classes that teach you about life and how to get ready when you graduate. Like balancing check books, doing taxes, how to manage money stuff like that. Nothing really teaches us the street smarts. School is all about book smarts and thats like only teaching us half of what we need to know. Street smarts is very important to survive the real world.
As for disiplining students it would be done entirely differently. My school would be like college. If you do not come to class or school its your loss. You will be the one failing. There would be no 1hours, 2 hours, 3 and half hours. If you are late to school there would be no punishment. You could of not came at all but you decided to come and learn for the rest of the day. In my school everyone would be treated equally. So everyone gets the same punshiment for the same actions. It's not fair that one kid gets nothing for being late and another kid gets a 2 hour detention for being late. There would be no to many days out you don't graduate non sense. Like i said before if you don't come to school its your choice. It is your responsibility to make up missed work for all your classes.

Importance of Music
Music in my life is very important. It is apart of my everyday life. No matter where I am I always have my ipod with me fully charged. Music sets the tone to my day, I feel if i start my day listening to music that gets me hyped it will bring up my day. Things go faster when I'm listening to my ipod. In music i don't just listen to one thing. I listen to the lyrics, the meaning to the song and the beat behind it. I like songs that have meaning to their words not just a bunch of words that rhyme but make no sense.
Music is so much more than just a backround noise. Music can do crazy things. Music can get you amped for the moment. Like before i play floor hockey I'm always bumping to DMX to get me ready to go nuts. It brings up my game, it makes me a better player. I get more into the game. When I'm having a horrible day and nothing seems to help, it seems like everything that could go wrong has gone wrong i just play some music. Put some Bob Marley or Sublime on to chill me out pick my mood up. Music is almost like a drug in a way. When i don't have my ipod with me i feel a little lost, especially in school. My ipod has the ablitily of helping me ignore people or zone out when i need to. Everyone has that day that they just don't want to be bothered, so my ipod helps me get through that. Music is especially good when your around someone who won't shut up and keeps going on you just throw on your ipod and ignore them.
Music is very inspirational. The type of music I listen to is a lot about coming from nothing and making into something. From rags to riches as some say. If you listen to the lyrics it is crazy how some people can make something so good out of a situation that was so bad. That inspires me a lot. It tells me that if i try and put my mind to something it can be mine. I also listen to music that relates to my life. Those are the songs that I listen to the most. When it comes to genres of music i like them all. I keep my ears open to everything. I just don't listen to rap and hate everything else. I listen to some country, rock, rap, techno you name it I'll listen to it. My favorite would have to be rap though. Nothing like bumping some Biggie or Tupac sitting back chilling at your crib.
