Peer Groups

College is a big word in my family. I will be one of the fist ones to go to college in my family. My family reinforces my dream to go to college even though no one has gone before.My friends also have a great impact on my college future. All the time at lunch we talk about what were are looking forward to and how excited we are to go. I have a dream of being a special needs teacher. If i did not go to a great high school like Stevenson I do not think that i will be thinking about college. In Stevenson all of your high school career is getting you ready for college. I think if i went to a different school maybe in the city college would not even of come to my mind because of the money. But with using my resources and asking questions, anyone with a dream to go to college will can achieve that dream. My Freshmen year at Stevenson was very hard on me. I knew that I had a learning problem and freshmen year was very difficult on me. I got tested with a learning disability and for the rest of my high school education I was in the classes that what would be fitted for me. College is a very scary thing, but I think I am ready to make my dream a realtiy

Livin with out money

I don't know how anyone could live with out money. I understand that money can just lead to bad things like debt and bills and what not but who can ever live with out money. Think bout going through your day with out using a cent! Its every hard. Dan Suelo had been living with out money since 2000. He lives in a cave in Utah, and is very happy. He he goes to the library and blogs about how it was with money and now how it is with no money at all. A person was climbing on the mountain right by his cave and saw a sign that said nothing is mine you can take anything. I hate not having any money to go out with but can u believe that someone lived with out money for now 10 years. That is just unbelievable.

death :(


Death is a very scary thing for me. I watched my two grandparents die just a year apart from each other. In the movie Tuesdays with Morrie, he is not scared to die, he is ready for death. One reason why people can be scared for death is that they do not want to leave their family, friends, and like behind. No one wants to leave their love ones and miss out on their families life. Also, we worked so hard to get where we are in are life we do not want it to end. I do not want to die. I understand i can not control that but i wish that i could just live my life with my friends and family and be happy. I hope that when i do get sick or old i am ready for death just like Morrie was.

Americans

In class we talked about teenagers with different chances at life to succeed. From teenagers that goes to a small school in a small town in the south, to Stevenson and its huge campus. We will both have a good education. People think that just because we go to Stevenson we are rich, and i always say that is not true. I am not rich at all. Just becuase a lot of the people at Stevenson gets the newst thing doesnt mean that everyone at Stevenson is that way. I dont like to be judged by what school i go to, i want people to know who i am.
