Lets start at the very begining...

I have decided to start this blog, mainly on the basis of the fact that someday, I would like to be a writter. Not neccessarily as my career, but as a hobby because it is something I enjoy doing. I have written a couple small things that no one but my closest friends and family have read, and a few that have been a little more public, but I am hoping that this blog will give me some more experience with writting.
But what inspired me to do this (yes, there is a difference) is: 1) One of my best friends recently started a blog that I find really tremendous, and it really made me think. I hope the some of the things that I write about will bring people to think about some things at their High Schools, as well as help them learn from experiences they normally wouldn't really think about and/or learn from.
And 2) There are alot of things about High School that really frustrate me. Things that should be spoken about and, like I said earlier, learned from. High School is a crazy place that at many times, can really suck. People are downright cruel, boys can be JERKS, teachers can be...well...impossible, acne plagues us, cliques and steryotypes 'rule the school', but it all depends on how you embrace the experience.
As I've been learning from another friend of mine, you sometimes have to just look past the things that suck and try to look for the good and fun things, because otherwise you will miss out on alot of awesome things and experiences; (Good times with your friends, getting out of your comfort zone and taking on new experiences, amazing teachers who can really help you out, making NEW friends, and alot more.) and if you make a habit of looking at the bad parts, it can consume you and make you bitter. That doesnt mean you ignore them and pretend like they're not there, but you choose to enjoy life despite the things you don't like.
Like this saying says, "Being Happy doesnt mean everything is perfect; it just means that you have decided to look beyond the imperfections." 
Now I'm not saying I've got it all figured out, but im hoping that through the course of my 'High School Adventure', I might start to get there.
