"Expecting Excellence" from the Publications "Educational Leadership" by Tony Wagner. This issue was indeed a very informational for us students and those who are looking for careers. The author point of view on this is to stop what we have been doing and expand into new ways that will help make this generation a successful one. I definitively would say that I agree with him. In this issue, Mr. Wagner interviewers point out major key points that students need and what they are looking for in a worker.
This really helped me to open my eyes on what I need to succeed in today's world. I just wish that the teachers would apply this method more so we the students could get more adjusted to what is needed. My education and somewhat life is on the line right now because what if I get out in the world and every employer that I go to wants things that I was not taught? Am I to blame? Seeing this very much impacted on how I am going to learn and what I need to look for. The author showed and stated that 1 out of 20 classroom he visited, were meeting the criteria that he was informed with. The way the school is teaching is not very effective. In conclusion, this very much as always changed my way of thinking.

Sex-Texting?
Laura Arowolo's article "No sexts please, we're Christian teenagers" reveals that sexting is not right in the eyes of God. Coming from a teenage girl's perspective, this article was very striking.
Just in case you don't know what sexting is, sexting is when a teenager sends intimate or sexually explicit photos of themselves, to others using texting or e-mail.
Miss Arowolo says in this article the effects of sexting and how God see this through his eyes. In truth sexting should not only be stopped for Christian teenagers but to every teenager because its wrong and gross. She inputs a very true and effective scripture into her article. Corinthians 6: 19-20 "Oh do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body."This scripture to anyone who reads it states a point and that point is not to do things with your body that God wouldn't approve of and I really believe this is true. This is because so many things people do now a day are so unjustified and wrong such as pornographers, atheist, believing in other gods, idolizing people, and etc. I wish people would just BELIEVE and stop having to see it for it to be real. School especially, is this not whack or what, we learn evolution and the big bang theory but we cant express our religious beliefs. OK going back to sexting, why would teens want to send nude pictures of themselves to anyone in the first place? Beats me.. I really would not like to. I hope for everyone who comes across this who has be tempted about sexting that you would rethink your thoughts and see whats right in the eyes of God.In conclusion, this article really showed the ways sexting effects and how God sees it, I was glad I found it. Happy to share it. God Bless.
