what can we do
Today it's official my school's second attempt at an Enviromental club flopped. This time about 20 people showed up but it soon became apparent that the onlyy people who cared about the enviroment were mew and the other two original members from last year. The others had only joined to get out of a boring advisory class and just sat there the whole time, and no amount of berating or lectures by the sponsoring teacher could get them to leave the club. So far all we mannaged to do was pass out some orange flyers advertising a marathon. No campaigns, no speakers, no fundraisers, no cleanups, and no recruiting.
I'm going to attempt to save it or at least start a smaller or exclusive club but I don't think it will work. i'm sure Mrs Lewis has had enough. Maybe the other two members and I can start a club outside of school but so far we don't know any other people in or around Houston who would care. The lack of enthusiasm is astounding.

About Me
reader111089
Student at Spring Woods Senioir High
Houston, TX USA
I grew up in arkansas but moved to texas when i was 11. i've always loved the outdoors and when I grow up i want to build a simple cabin where I can escape from the pressures and worries induced by modern society. My favorite autors are Henry David Thoreau and Carl Sagan. I'm a B or C average student and I'm fine with that. I just don't beleive in homework, if i did I would definetly be an A student. But through my life I've gained a more cynnical veiw of school and I've come to realize that it doesn'ty really matter what I do in school.I only write well when I'm interested in the subject other wise I rarely write at all. I also find many of the things my teachers try to force on dull and and don't beleive I will use much of it outside of school. Essentially I learned everything I consider to be important from the many books I've read or the few inspired teachers who understood the way I felt and met me halfway. I don't enjoy technology I dont own any videogames or even a computer. I go to the library to use one. My biggest dream is to learn to fly a Bi-plane and build my own dirigible. I hate organized sports like football or baseball. I'd much rather go hiking or mountain-biking.I beleive in the lost philophosy of Transcendentialism, I read about three books a week, and I only watch Animal planet and the science channel. If I have to get a job I'll either be a Pediatrician or sell vegetables and fruit on the side of the road.
