BOURGEOISIE

On Friday 4-11-08, the 9Th grade females had a women's retreat. We were able to learn many different things about ourselves and others. We learned about being a real woman and deciding on the best possible ways to make decisions. The most important thing we learned about was being BOURGEOISIE.

Many people look down on this word. They are being brainwashed into believing that it is bad. It is actually a good thing. Its a way of life. Being bourgeoisie is not being shallow or conceited but its being aware and confident. Its all in the way that people see you.

If you don't think you look good guess what? No one will. You have to be the one to step up and say hey, I'm beautiful so deal with it! If you walk around acting like you have shame and something to hide then you will be treated like that. In this world their is no room for shyness, you have to be bold to be important.

I know that this may sound a little dramatic but in the words of the wonderful Ms. Kingcade "you are not important if someone ain't hatin'" which means if you are not talked about then you are not worried about. In this world trust me, its better to be talked about than not noticed. You will never get anywhere if you don't make your mark so why not take a chance and start now.

In conclusion, our workshop really helped to open my eyes and broaden my mind to thinking in other ways than one.This also helped me to realize my many mistakes of the past. The conflicts that we covered are near and dear to my personal life and I think this will really help me make a gradual change in my decision making for years to come.
