Just Do It!

" In matters of style, swim with the current; In matters of principle, stand like a rock. "
                                                                                                        - Thomas Jefferson

Sometimes life trough's things at you that you are not prepared to handle. Sometimes it's your situation at home that may make life elsewhere difficult. SOMETIMES YOU COULD BE IN CLASS STRUGGLING ON THE CLASSWORK AND YOU ASK TWO OF YOUR FRIENDS FOR HELP BUT THEY'RE SO CAUGHT UP IN EACH OTHER TO LISTEN THEN WHEN YOU FINALLY GET THEIR ATTENTION THEY ACT LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER OR LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW YET BUT THEY WILL GET BACK TO YOU. THEN YOU TURN AROUND TO TRY TO DO IT YOURSELF AGAIN AND YOU REALIZE THEY STILL HAVEN'T RESPONDED AND YOU TURN BACK TO THEM AND THEY'RE SMOOCHING IT UP. THEN YOU TURN AWAY TO GIVE THEM PRIVACY AND SOON AFTER THAT THE TEACHER WALKS IN SO YOU FIGURE THEY HAVE TO STOP NOW AND THEY DO BUT THEY GO RIGHT BACK TO DOING THEIR OWN WORK WHICH YOU REALIZE THEY ARE CLOSE TO FINISHING. SO YOU ASK THEM AGAIN FOR HELP AND THEY SAY THEIR STUCK TOO OR THEY JUST LAUGH AT YOU AND ASK YOU IF YOUR "MAD OR NAH".  SO NOW THE BELL IS ABOUT TO RING AND YOUR STILL ON NUMBER ONE BUT YOU SEE THEM GOING TO TURN IN THEIR WORK AND WHEN THEY COME BACK YOU ASK THEY WHY THEY DIDN'T HELP YOU BUT THEY SAY THEY DIDN'T KNOW OR THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE PAID ATTENTION OR USED YOUR NOTES. THEY MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR STUPID AND IT'S YOUR FAULT! BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE PRINCIPLES IN THESE SITUATIONS, LIKE NOT TRUSTING ALL THE PEOPLE YOU COME IN CONTACT WITH. ALSO IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DONE YOU HAVE TO DO IT YOURSELF!
