In the past few days my class have been watching Ted Talks and making presentation about them. One group in particular did a presentation on the Ted Talk called: To This Day... for the bullied and beautiful By: Shaun Koyczan. The reason why I'm choosing to talk about this video is because just listening to Shaun's story and hearing about how he felt about being bullied as well as seeing people bully others. Shaun voice was very interesting to listen to. Shaun told his audience about his story. Shaun had mentioned in his ted talk that he remember having to go throw people giving you names and making fun of you but he also mentioned how ever since he could remember people were asking him what he wanted to be when he was older and what he wanted to do with his life and he said he was told that he had to chose a carrer path. The thing that Shaun said that really stood out for me was "they asked me what i wanted to be then told me what not to be" another thing he had said "accept the identy that others will give me and I thought what gave my dreams so easy to dismis" these two sentences really got to me because its true, it really is true. I know people in my life tell me that i can do anything i want and be anything i want as long as i worked for it. now those are the people closest to me other people maybe at school or out in the world. when you were in kindergarten were you ever asked what you wanted to be, by your teacher or a friend and did they ever laugh at you or say thats a nice dream to have. I'm not saying that, that has been said to be me but I have heard it. the other thing that Shaun said about acepting the identy that others give you, in a way I find this true because when people around you call you names or tell you that you wont be able to do that. after you hear this over and over and over again it becomes true you start to believe it dont denine it.

Have you ever asked your self if you're really normal or if your human? Have you ever thought that you are the only person that does what ever you do... such as, do you ever wake up in the morning put at pair of jeans on and then half way through the day you realize that there is a sock in your pant leg. If you've done that you for sure are not the only one.
Have you ever thought that you are the only person that is always on your phone and smiling like a complete idiot while talking to someone... well you are not the only one. If you think that just because you do something different or weird and you think that, that does not make you human. That is what makes you human... Every strange thing we do as a person makes you human because well every other person has done it at least once. The term being human doesn't have a definition: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/human ( click the link to see the definiton) well it does but what that really states is that your a human if you are part of the human race... Being classified as a human isn't saying you have two arms and two legs and a head no being classified as a human says that you are part of the giant human race that surronds you every single day of your life. Check out the Are You Human? Video by: Ze Frank: https://www.ted.com/talks/ze_frank_are_you_human The absolute best thing for me is that when its a Sunday night and you know that you don't have to turn your alarm on for Monday is for real the best feeling in the world for me with out a doubt, that is not a joke. Don't get me wrong I like going to school not the having to do work part but the hanging out with friends part. Now if all that could start at like noon it would be even better, because getting up at 5:30 am just really doesn't work but at the end of the week I am so done that I sleep from like 11 pm-12 am, aha I'm not kidding. Now if you are the type of person that enjoys getting up and starting your day off really early that is great no that is fantastic but for me to do that I would, No wait at this time in my life I really don't think I could, well I shouldn't say that I couldn't because I could if I tried and if I really wanted to... This is why Not having to turn on my alarm is AWESOME!!
