Reflective journal

In today's competitive society, parents tend to be very conscious about their child's performance, whether in academics, or in sports. They tend to push their children very hard, wanting them to excel in every way. A little competitiveness is fine, as it allows the child to improve, but some parents nowadays are beginning to compare their child's performance with others. This may ultimately hurt the child's feelings, demoralising them and causing them to fall behind.

In the future, parents may be even more competitive, as the world gets more advanced. Not wanting their children to fall behind, they may push their children even harder.

Book Review - Nothing But The Truth

This book is about a boy, named Phillip Malloy, who sang the American national anthem, 'The Star Spangled Banner' when he was not supposed to, and was punished by his teacher, Miss Narwin. When the public knew about this, it caused a national uproar, as they thought Miss Narwin was unpatriotic for stopping Phillip from singing the national anthem. However, they did not know that it was not supposed to be sung when the song was played over the intercom.

Phillip Malloy was later exposed to be a fraud, who complained about Miss Narwin out of hate for her.

Overall, this is a really good read and I recommend it to anyone looking for a book to read.
