School: "To be or not to be"

I have always wondered what the point of school is? Most of the subjects in school don't give you what you need in the REAL WORLD. How has school and learning changed from when our parents went to school? School has definitely evolved since our parents' time. Teachers now are a lot more hands-on with their students.  For example, instead of sitting and writing out your summaries, the instructor has you get up and present your knowledge.  Such active learning takes place in our 21st century classes.  Teachers try to make subjects more fun and appealing to the students.
     Technology has also been a big part of schools now. Teachers sometimes use a lot of fun new things from the Internet.  For example, in my Creative Writing class, our magazine publication is prepared via the internet.   In addition, technology has also helped with students' research and other knowledge (our parents had to use those dusty encyclopedias). Today's Chemistry, History, and Biology for example have no real meanings to living life ( Unless you want to go into that as a profession [or become a rocket scientist?!]) Math, Writing and maybe English can e something that you may use on a daily basis. High school should teach you more how to manage money, how to pay bills, things you should know about college, real estate, and taxes. Students get thrown into the REAL WORLD and are clueless. High School should prepare you for the world and some subject just aren't doing that. Then, when you get to college you can decide your major and go into whatever you like. But in High School why take Chemistry if you don't want to be a chemist? You're just wasting your time learning something that doesn't even apply or matter to you. So, my question is why learn about unrealistic subjects that doesn't apply to real life?

Please comment if you have a educated answer.....thank you:)

~Fame~

  Today, I was thinking of celebrities and what they do for fame. Is fame really worth losing your sanity? Throughout the years there have been several celebrity's who have LITERALLY lost their minds. Many have developed alcohol and drug addictions and all sorts of other issues. And with some celebrity's, money has been their down fall. Being famous can bring you money and fame but what about the effects it might have on you, your family, friends and others. Many have gone into "Hollywood" and lost sight of themselves and whats REALLY important in  life. Fame has even broken up families and bond/relationships. You may think that the people around you are your "friends" but really they're just there for the fame and attention. Being a celebrity would be a constant headache for me. If I were to choose between Fame ("Hollywood") and my life and sanity, I would definitely choose my life. I would rather be around my REAL family and friends. I want to be successful but I don't want fame; I don't want the paparazzi and strangers following me. I'll be successful and make a difference from behind the scenes.
So to my readers, would you want fame or a regular life?

~Music~

   Music has always been a big part of my life. Although I have never played an instrument, I still have a huge appreciation for music. Music has a way of changing your emotions. You can go from happy to sad, sad to happy, chill to hype, and etc. And depending on the artist, the song can even put you in deep thought. Some songs can even be what we call "the story of my life"; meaning that particular song can be so relatable to you that it really resembles your life. I love how songs uplift and motivate you at the lowest points in your life. Music is universal; it's not just a part my life but speaks a universal language:)

My HEART, My LOVE, My FAMILY

  My family is the core of my heart. They make me who I am. They are who I am. My family supports me in every thing I do. When I'm low or down, they're always the one who puts a smile on my face. Ever since I was little, my parents told me and my brother that we can do whatever we put our minds to. I have lived by that all my life. I have HUGE dreams and I plan to complete every one of them. Everywhere my parents haven't been I'm going to go. The sky is the limit. My brother and I had the typical "brother and sister relationship," meaning fighting, arguing, name calling and etc. Yet, since I hit my teenage years, he has been like a best-friend. Of course, we still argue and all that but are relationship will always be "tight". My dad is my motivation. He supports me and his work ethic motivates me to always do my best. Even though my family can get on my last nerves, they truly are ME. My love for all of them will NEVER change.<3

Traveling

  
 Although becoming a chef is my main focus, I also want to travel. I REALLY want to go to Paris, France not only to take cooking classes but to maybe live or go to school there. Paris is one of the best places to learn cooking from. I would like my experience to be similar to the movie Julie & Julia. I love how Julia went to France and learned so many new recipes and other things about their culture. But France is only one of the many places I want to go in Europe. I have a craving to just explore the world and experience all the various cultures and of course the FOOD. Other countries include: Spain, China, Rome, Africa, Australia, and anywhere else that crosses my mind. So, to my readers where would you like to go or what cultures would you like to experience?!

Dreams

 As you already know, cooking is my passion but my other dream is to own my own restaurant. I have had this vision for a long time. I want more than just one; I want several all over the world. Every time I go to a new restaurant, I find things that I like and dislike so I can incorporate them into my future one. So, here are some of my ideas.  My restaurant will be universal. The menu will be very diverse and filled with tasty dishes from every culture. Whatever you have a taste for, we will have or will make for you.  Because I am a clean freak , my restaurant will have the cleanest and fresh smelling bathrooms EVER. Also, the dishes will ALWAYS  be thoroughly washed because I hate seeing things on my eating utensils. Don't you hate being  in a restaurant and you smell smoke while you're eating? There will be a NO SMOKING policy but I will allow people to smoke outside.  Also, the waiters/waitresses will be friendly and have positive attitudes at ALL times. These are just a few of my ideas, so let me know what you think.

Looking forward to your feedback ;)
