I like that idea of giving the inner bully back to the originator. i have been working on generating positive energy and fire has become my element. every time a negative thing comes near me, my energy bubble flares up like fire and it dissolves the negative energy. i agree that although it would be great for a no-bully policy, i don’t think that would happen because through pain, we realize the true value of joy. the world must have a balance of both dark and light. i also have been working with the air element to keep me cool and also to help me feel lightweight and happy. i find that i have become quite good at visualization and when i have a goal in mind, i can work my way to making it a reality. i also enjoy studying psychology and i think i have begun to tap into the inner higher self that i have, the soul that gives me confidence. i have began to think maybe it would be good to enjoy learning science and let andrew have the competitive nature while i combine science and nature and be laidback like dave. dave has an inner confidence in his abilities and that helps him shine even without having to show his knowledge. andrew and i weren’t always competitive, in fact we had lots of fun talking about science and playing lacrosse. but after i got a 98 in pre-calc and he only received a 91 and my ap english grade on global warming was better than his, he started getting competitive. also when my ap english teacher put andrew (negative about minimum wage) and me on opposite teams when i had to debate on positive effects of minimum wage, we were quite competitive.
