Will Smith Slaps Reporter.

Recently, Famous Entertainer, Will smith slapped a reporter for being too affectionate. The reporter tried to kiss Will Smith in the mouth and he pushed him away then slapped him in the face. Some say that Will didn't have to slap him but I think that the reporter shouldn't have tried to kiss Will Smith. They say that the reporter that Will Smith slapped is a television reporter who often kisses celebrities-- it's his schtick but obviously, Will Smith didn't like it at all. I think that Will Smith had a right to slap the reporter because why would you try to kiss somebody you don't know, celebrity or not, you shouldn't do that, especially if it is another man and you don't know if they like stuff like that. I think that is getting too personal and too comfortable. I think everybody has their standards and needs to have their personal space. After Will Smith slapped the reporter, he stated to another reporter "He's lucky I didn't sucker punch him!". Some of the camera people and the other reporters were shocked that Will Smith had slapped the reporter and thought that he over exaggerated and that he didn't have to smack him, but you don't know certain people and how they might react to certain situations and how they might feel about certain things so thats why he shouldn't had kissed Will Smith and he deserved what he got.

This I Believe " Just Say No"

"Just Say No" is what Jessica Paris from Juneau, Alaska seems believe. She believes that it is more than just a slogan from the 1980s, its a credo that gives her the freedom to discover the things she truly wants to experience in life instead of succumbing to the instant gratification pushed by so much marketing. She believes in saying no to sugar before lunch, no to high heels, no to a cell phone, no to artificial sweetener, no to pierced ears, no to bottled water, and no to carrying a balance on my credit card. I think that her belief could be right in many ways, for example saying no to things that mostly everybody does like eat fast food or eating sweets, or spending their money on things that you may not think are that important and theses things could actually help someone in a big way, for instants, it could cause you to be more healthy and also save money. She also agrees that every no is a yes to something else and I agree with that 100 percent. Her saying no to other things gave her a chance to do better things, for example , instead of buying a car, she used that money to go on a trip to India, where she road trains,camels, and a festooned elephant. She also believes saying no to some of life's shimmering pleasures buys her a moment of peace and find out what her heart truly desires, and that no is not deprivation, its deliberation and that no is not loss, its freedom. Overall i think that Jessica's believe is not bad at all and that it is true in many ways.

Career Day at Parkway.

Recently at Parkway West, there was a career day. Each class had three visitors and each visitor had 15 minutes to present. The three visitors that I saw were Ms. Singleton who is an Attorney, Mr. Hegler who is a Commercial Banker, and Mr. Hanible who has his own Tax Business. I thought that these presenters were very good and that they were interesting when talking about their careers and what they do for a living. Ms. Singleton, the Attorney gave some background information on her were she came from and were she got her education from. She went to Overbrook High School, She graduated College with a B.A, then she went to Law school for three years and also said that you need seven years of school after high school to be a lawyer. She also said that she does mediation which is dispute revolution. Mr. Hegler ,who was a Commercial Banker said he loans money to starting businesses, small businesses, and to help businesses. He also said that he has a Business Management Degree and has his Bachelors Degree. He also said that he went to Delaware State University. lastly, Mr. Hanible, who has his own Tax business, he said her left high school in the 11th grade. He went to Vanguard, then he got his G.E.D., and that helps people with retirement, complaint letters, and other things like that. I liked that all of the presenters made me interested in their careers and made them seem like really good jobs.
