Who Doesn't Like Writing on the Wall?

Today in STAC we did an interesting activity. We wrote on the HALLWAY WALL
outside of the STAC room! I don't know why I find that so entertaining....
Anyway, what we wrote on the wall was our names and connected it to something
we like. We connected that to several words describing why we liked that thing.

This activity was a fun way to tell the other members of STAC and Herricks
High School
what we like and what. our interests are. This is also an activity you don’t do everyday. That's the brilliant part. It's different, it's unique! Being different and unique is
great. If everyone were the same and did things the same way, the world would
be boring. If there is to be lesson learned, you are unique and so are your
talents. Let people know what is unique about you and let them know who you
are.

“Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the
universe, a moment that will never be again. And what do we teach our children?
We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris
is the capital of France.
When will we also teach them what they are?
We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You
are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have
passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your
clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo,
a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything.
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it
is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he
hears, however measured or far away."
- Henry David Thoreau

    Isn't that life? There is only you, just you and nobody like you, (Unless of course you are an identical twin). And still that only pertains to looks. Individuality isn't just originality it is taking something you know and making it something else. Sure, it may be considered stealing, but if done right 'stealing' is 'fun'.

  2. "We wrote on the HALLWAY WALL"

    Sort of subversive, isn't it?

    Are you a rule breaker, or not so much?

    I know right! This is why I'm already in complete love with STAC,i don't think I could ever be bored. I used to think I had a lot of ideas before, but after one day a STAC my mind has been blown with ideas, which doesn't help an insomniac.

  4. I'm not a rule breaker... But is it bad not to be a rule breaker?

    I guess it depends on the rule and whether they need breaking or not? But I don't know if it is about breaking rules or leaping fences. Do you understand the difference?
