Although Jackson had some dark side and allegations against him that damage his public image, he had also helped a lot such as supporting charities and spending millions of dollars on it.

He could always be remembered because he touches the hearts of many through his songs and his complicated steps in dancing while he is still alive.
So, all we can do is to pray that his soul may rest in peace.

Take this quote:
"When you were born you cried, and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice"

Back to School

Summer time is over and back to school again. Some students probably feeling excited or else nervous this first day of school because of all new things around. New instructors, classmates or even new school environment.
When I'm still studying, I hate first day of school unless I have lots of new stuff and everything that I need. On the otherhand, 1st day is a good one to see friends that you haven't seen in awhile.
On this first day of classes expect to introduce yourself and say something about you. So, its time to know partially your new mates and Instructors. Know them fully by the end of the semester.
Anyways those worries will not last any longer. You can get adjusted to your new routine and schedules as the classes goes by.


Goodluck!
