What do I like about Highschool?

It's been a whole month since summer ended.
Days are getting colder and the students are getting older! So, what's my favorite thing about school so far? There’s really a lot of things I enjoy about high school. My very first thing that I felt extremely glad about is that we get to sleep a bit more than last year. I mean, who wants to wake up at 6 a.m. when you fall asleep at 3 a.m.? Definitely not me!
Another thing I really like is the freedom we have during school. We have more responsibility on what we choose to do and we don't need to be puppets controlled by the teachers during lunch time or class.
Lastly, the classes here are far more interesting than at middle school. Art class is packed with more amazing artists, the music room is filled with outstanding musicians, and students are much tamed. I apologize for all my past teachers, you guys were great but I'm having a blast here.
I really like being here with all these students from my grade. However, I even though I have many good sides, I also have some dislikes moving up to highschool. I first dislike the pressure where all the students are so worked up about grades and numbers. I feel pressured to feel like this is a competition and growing up to be someone I want to be doesn't really matter.
Another thing I just find saddening is that we're all growing up. Yes, we were growing up since the day we were born, but realizing the fact time flies pretty quickly makes me really stressed that I'm not spending my time productively.
Finally, it's a lot of work. The work is about two times more than last year’s. I guess it's understandable because now we're like pre-adults about to become real ones. However, that doesn't stop me from not wanting to do any of them!
I hope that as the years go by i’ll become more mature and overcome any problems that I may face. This is what I currently like and dislike about highschool.

God (S.T.E.AL)

The past days, I learned that there are different versions of the bible and each versions comes a different impression of God.

In the Old Testament Class materials, it showed us that God could be cruel and extremely terrifying when we are sinful. 

For example, in one quote in the Genesis chapter 16: verse 13 said, "I have determined to make an end for all flesh" He sounds as if he angry and very powerful.

But, in the NIV, on the same Genesis chapter and verse it says, "I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth." Yes, they both show that he is powerful. However, on this version, God seems more reasonable and calmer than the first example. From this, I learned rewording a verse could change how God may seem.  

WHO DO WE BLAME FOR THE EVICTION FROM EDEN?

Who should we blame? In Genesis Chapter 2-3, God clearly states both Adam and Eve can eat any fruit in the Garden of Eden. However, cannot eat one tree, the fruit of knowledge, if they do God says they will surely die. Everything was okay after God left but until the serpent comes around. The serpent tempts Eve by questioning about the tree of knowledge and later stating, “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” After hearing this, who wouldn't want to at least take bite of that fruit just to be like God? Eve takes a bite of the fruit and shares this with Adam “who was with her.” After eating the fruit they began to feel shameful of their naked body and hid. God later enters and calls out Adam where he was. Adam replies he was hiding because he felt afraid to show his naked body. God questions Adam if he ate from the tree he told not to eat from. Instead of apologizing, Adam quickly blames Eve for giving the fruit to him in the first place. God turns to Eve and questions why she done this, but she too also pushes the blame to the serpent. God becomes furious and punishes the serpent by stating he will make the serpent only be able to crawl from his stomach and eat dust for all their lives for causing this problem. He then goes to the women and punishes her with extreme pain during childbearing and birth. Lastly, he goes to Adam and says that he will have to work painfully until the end. God banishes both Adam and Eve from The Garden Of Eden. Now, who’s to blame for this mess? I believe it was those who pushed the blame to others and not properly admitting their own wrong. My reason why I believe this is because, God probably already knows who’s to blame in the first place. Instead of punishing the serpent right on the spot, he first questioned Adam, “Have you eaten from the tree I commanded you not to eat from?” Adam responds, “The women you out here with me-she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.” When God questions Eve, “What is this you have done?” Eve says, “The serpent deceived me and I ate.” Neither of them shows guilt but fear of what might come before them. Even though they were tempted by the serpent, they still ended committed the wrongdoing. But, they still denied that fact and pushed away from apologizing.

Uta-napishti V.S. Nuh

                                    

             In The Epic of Gilgamesh, they tell you a flood story that Uta-napishti experienced. However, there’s many other flood stories in this world and that are very similar and different!
In the story from the Islamic, both stories tells us that they were warned before the flood to build a boat in order to live by the god. However, in Uta-napishti’s story, there were multiple gods that were mentioned, in The Islamic story, there was only one God mentioned named, Allah. The reason why the flood started in Uta’napishti’s story was because the Gods were annoyed by the crowded city of Shuruppak and said the people there were getting way too noisy. In Nuh’s story, they said that the flood will start to get rid of those who don’t believe nor obey in Allah.
Though in Uta-napishti’s story doesn’t tell us about what other people around him thought about the plan of building a boat for a flood, in the Islamic story, they tell us that Nuh was mocked by the wealthy people because they believed the plan was just lies and threats for wealth.
There were still both downsides of the flood even though they survived. In Epic of Gilgamesh, Uta-napishti and his family was able to survive the flood, but when the ruler of Earth found out, Uta-napishti and his wife was punished by becoming immortal and being sent away in a far away place. However, in the islamic flood story, though Nuh survived, Nuh’s son was drowned, followed by many people who did not obey Allah and was titled disbelievers.
