Never Will I Judge a Book By It's Cover Again...

Sorry guys I haven't being blogging recently, work and school has exhausted me to the point of collapsing. However, these last few days have taught me a valuable lesson about people that I never understood, yet I knew about it.

At work on Friday, me and co-worker, Tim, noticed that one of the other waiters was acting very weird. So weird that some of us were worried about him. 

His attitude wasn't a normal happy in the beginning of the shift to pissed off and tired. It was, like, spunky, almost child-like.

So, confused and curious, I kept my eye on him until I saw his necklace with a heart (Like the one above) charm. When I pointed it out, he froze and tucked it under his shirt saying I saw nothing and don't worry about it, blah blah blah.

Even more curious about this charm and how it related to his different attitude, I waited until no one was around to ask what it was for.

The news for his charm and playful attitude not only surprised me, but made me realized that I may not know as much about someone as I thought that I did. 

The heart had come from his lover ( I don't know if it was a girlfriend or wife) that was dying of cancer. Her wishes were, that if she did not live, that he wear it for her to remember her. Of course he complied, but the reason he acted weird and didn't say anything was because he was embarrassed it was a woman's necklace.

After his story, I felt sad and happy for him. ( Mostly sad ). I was happy that he was wearing the necklace and was able to be with her and be able to work. Of course, I pitied him because to work and function, in a restaurant while seeing other couples, had to be hard on him.

Almost, in a way, I felt encouraged by his attitude to keep going on.

So, for the: QUESTION OF THE DAY!

Have you ever been in a situation where you thought you knew everything about a person, but were wrong? Please, post your experiences in the comments below, or post a link to a video or blog about it if you have discussed it before.

Thanks guys and hope you have a wonderful weekend and great day!

Teachers and Assistant Principals Can Be Awesome!

 

Oooo guys, we gettin' double pictures!

I have had the greatest day ever! And, no, I didn't make a A in AP Calculus AB. :(

So, here is how is all happened:

I came in to school and was talking to my teachers, like I normally do, until I heard the bell ring for 7 minutes until class would start. Now, normally I check if I am ready to go to class before this time. However, as I was getting ready to sit down, I noticed I had forgot my ID.

Forgetting your ID in my school not only is a hassle, but it embarrassing, especially for a senior.

So, as I was running out of my class towards my car, I heard the bell ring for the last 2 minute warning. Not only did I know I would not make it, but I knew that if I didn't have it, I would have been kicked out of class, giving me a tardy and a call home.

So, I ran to an AP, Assistant Principal, and asked him if he would vouch for me. (The conversation was more like: "Hey, Mr.Davis, how much do you love me?" "I don't know. I don't think it is enough for whatever you want me to do." "How about you just vouch for me about a tardy so I can get my ID from my car." "....." "Please?" "You better hurry.") 

So, when I got back to him, he wrote me a pass and I got to class with no tardy! THANK YOU MR. DAVIS!!!!

So, all in all, guys and gals out there who think kiss butting your teacher or AP is dumb, you might just want to think again.

So, time for the: QUESTION OF THE DAY!

How many of you guys or girls have a situation where a teacher or AP stuck their neck out for you? Please post your answers in the comments below or post a link if you have discussed this already in a previous blog or video.

Thanks guys and girls! :* kisses to you all!

First time for everything

This is about the closest I can describe how I feel about blogging. Not only is this my first time, but I hope this is not my last.

My name is Madison Hughey, 17 years old, and already I am an author with a book published. So, how come no one knows about me? That is simple: I never reached out to other writers like me.

I hope that anyone that reads this and follows me, as I will follow you, doesn't end up like me: slamming your head in your keyboard.

Anyone want to join me in their newbieness or want to simply help me to understand what I am doing, please send me a message. I swear I will listen, or read, any tip you have got. (Even ones sent to me dozens a times!).

Thanks guys :)

(This is the book I published, and no I didn't put this here for you to buy it, I just wanted to make a point)
