Welcome Davenport Teachers

This site has seem to obtain a small bit of attention from the teaching staff at Davenport University - the college I am currently going to. The topic at hand is the post I wrote not more than a couple days ago on - “Not Adapting to School”.

Welcome to theparagon.ORG - Davenport staff. This is the site of that kid sitting in your class. For the past couple years I’ve placed my thoughts and ideas on life without edit for the world to see. I’ve talked about everything from - my first impressions of class to current technology trends and that bad day I had. It’s been a way for me to let my thoughts out - almost as if everyone in the world was a person I confided in.

So if you’re reading this and have received the memo of a kid that may be paying someone to do his homework for him - think again. Everyone that has gone to college or has had to endure the stress of life has wished there were an easier way. The hope of winning the lottery (not the same lottery we learned about in Sociology), the relief of someone helping you out in a time of need, or getting something for nothing is in us all.

So do I wish I could just pay someone to do my work for me? Of course I do. Am I doing that? I’m going to say “No”, but let you come to your own conclusions. A little help in making that decision might be to actually look at what I write. If I was paying someone to do my work don’t you think I would pick someone that could write much better than the work you’ve received? Also look at my current social status - I’m a college student.

When you were a college student, did you have any money? Probably not - unless you were one of those lucky kids that had your parents pay for everything and still had enough left over to give you your allowance.

So think on that a minute.

While I have your attention

College is a great place for a young mind to grow. You’ve probably been teaching for years and have taught in places other than Davenport University. All I want to say is keep that same energy you had when you first knew you wanted to become a teacher. You’ve picked an amazing position in life and have the ability form young minds into greatness.

Stay excited about what you’re doing and remember how much you loved that one teacher you had. You know - that one that gave you a smile and went that extra step to ensure you understood what they were trying to teach you.

Anyways - That’s all I have to say today but look forward to seeing ya in class.
