freedom weekend!!

So this weekend at North east Christian church was freedom weekend! it was a weekend for all of the youth to get together and mingle and learn about God while having fun! So this weekend consists of free time when we got there! it was for high school students and middle school students. After about an hour of just getting to hang out we went upstairs and got to listen to our youth leader for a little bit! Which was amazing and then he showed us a video which was a video of the week a few weeks ago! And he did one of the videos of the week every day this freedom weekend for a good laugh. Which I think we all loved it so much. Too bad the series is over where we did a video of the week. But all I know is that I cannot wait till next year’s freedom weekend because I had a blast! Oh yeah and we stayed at host homes which was awesome because I stayed with my small group leader which I love! She has taught me so it isn’t even funny! Words can’t describe how much I love the church and the people. But back to what I was talking about freedom weekend consists of fun and god and more fun! We had the leader of Hawk Nelson come for his first solo concert his name is Jason Dunn!! And words can’t describe how much I love this concert and how much he means to everyone that was there! He has been struggling with diabetes and his solo concert was to raise money for a cure of diabetes which I think was amazing for all the youth at the church to hear about and hear his story about it. He told us about his life and his family and did a great concert! I cannot wait till I can go see him in concert again and he also did a donation jar and forever dollar he made he was going to double it to put forth a cure for diabetes! And we also did a service project which was a great thing for the high school students and the middle school students! The junior and senior group went down town to the life hope center to help clean up and get it ready for Monday! Which I am so glad I got to be of help! The center is a place for homeless people to go during the day!  So then we go back to the church for that Jason Dunn concert! I can’t say it enough I love him and his music so much!! That is all I have talked about since Saturday! But so when we got done with the concert we had a session which we had some kids give their heart to the lord that weekend or at least I hope we did! God worked in so many good ways and I am so glad I got to be there with all my friends and youth leaders I feel like they are my family! I don’t know how I lived without them! But anyway on Sunday Jason Dunn came and he did worship service and sang with the kids and the adult choir and then he did a solo number which he did amazing on words can’t describe how good he did! I really hope we can get the youth group back together and go to another one of his concerts! I miss freedom weekend and I missing being able to listen to Jason Dunn sing in person I mean it is good listening to him online but it is so much more inspiring in person! He made me start thinking about what I am going to do in my life and what I can do to spread the word of god anywhere I go in life! All I know is that god has changed my life this weekend and I am so glad he did!

why i think students should be allowed to have their phones in school

Why I think students should be allowed to have their phones in school.

                   Ok I’m going to be completely honest I understand why the teachers don’t want us to have our phones at school or in class. But I think if the students turn their phones off and put them away I don’t see why it would be a problem for the students or the teachers. But I mean if the student is on their phones during class then I see why the teachers don’t want them but if we don’t use them and if we get caught with them then that’s our fault and we should take the consequence like a high school student should.

                   My second reason that kids should be able to keep their phones during school is if something in the family pops up. And their parents just need to text and tell them something. And if the students don’t text other students and distract them from their work I don’t see why it would be that big of a problem for the teachers to just let them have the phone on them.

                   My third reason that kids should be able to keep their phones with them during school is to us like Google for like in class work. And also if you are in a language class they should be able to use Google translator if the teacher says they don’t have a problem with it. Also the students would use a lot less paper and can type the notes on their phones or like an Ipad. And be able to study them without having to take a big backpack home. This is a good thing for a lot of students.

                   My last reason that kids should be able to keep their phones with them at school is when they are done with their work they could listen to music or play a game. But that is only if they are done with all their work.
