The Lottery

The school system should work for all. Bronx schools have a tough road ahead, but it is possible to succeed.

The students failure is the schools failure. If the students should all have the option to go to good schools that will teach them correctly and to their satisfaction. It doesn't matter the economic level of their parents, the school status should be successful to the students as well as the community.

All schools need to produce great students or they are not doing their job to the community as well as the country. Knowledge is the key to a successful person as well as community. Everything is possible within the school systems if they give a good education.
Flexibility is mandatory to education. We need to be able to train teachers all over the country. All students deserve to be well educated and the school system should able to teach them all, the way they want to be taught.
Schools goal should be for each individual student to be a graduate of the highest level they can acheive. Atmosphere is mandatory of children learnings. Education of that pupil is mandatory to accomplish their dreams of life.

Life is…

Your thoughts don't exist in isolation, they affect the world. Every thought creates vibrations. Vibrations ripple out into the universe. Send your thoughts and vibrations to: a crisis somewhere in the world; someone you know who's in difficulty, experiencing illness or pain.

13. I honor the energy of *elder* which sees the end from the beginning. Throughout many lifetimes I have been here. I have the knowledge that I have changed myself again and again. I will start from where I am now, and continue to persist in my path. I will succeed.
As you see, the pagan focus is not to surrender responsibility for oneself to a higher power, but to take responsibility and make choices appropriate to a Goddess (that's YOU...) Feel free to change this as you wish.
