The Importance of Scholarships

Scholarships are a huge factor in paying for college but one thing that I want a scholarship for is to brag about it because getting a full ride somewhere is definitely something to brag about. Without scholarships some people might not get the education they want because they can't afford it but with scholarships people can further their education and experience a better life. I can't wait to go to college but unless I get a scholarship I won't go somewhere huge cause it is too expensive I think that scholarships can make you have the best education you just have to work and apply for it.

College Reflection

The main thing I have to do is take the ACT and I already took the SAT but I wanna take it again because I was not satisfied with my grades. I need to get my GPA up so I look like a smarter student. And of course I need to graduate high school successfully. I will take my ACT first next time I can then I will wait a little bit and take the SAT another time and hopefully do great on it. Then I will be working on making good grades and bringing my GPA up. Then I will graduate. I am where I need to be academically but I am not where I want to be because I want to have a better GPA and finish off good. I know UTA is one for me because that will be my college of choice if I get no scholarships. Now I might try and start my first two years at a community college to save some money and time. 

U.S. School System vs. Others

I believe the U.S. School System is great I think it is one of the best education system around the world and I like learning the way we do here. Now what I saw in Canada is that they have schools for foreign students so they can go to school with kids that are all like each other. They do this because a lot of people in Canada's first language is French. Other than that they start about the same age as us and it is very similar to ours they have a lot of the same schools as us. It is a little bit sad though because in the U.S. we have all the resources we could need and there are still people who are better and more educated and wiser than we are.

What is a College Degree really worth?

Yes college is worth it, it is one of the biggest investments and best choices you could make. Going to college and graduating doesn't guarantee your success you guarantee your own success and you do that with your hard work, dedication, determination, and ability to work with others. I believe without a college degree you can't get as far in life as people who have a college degree and work hard. It is also a great achievement in your life to successfully graduate college. Even though college cost a lot it is still worth it because the degree you receive will end you granting you the money you paid for college and then double or maybe triple it. College isn't just something that isn't a big deal it is a choice that will impact your whole life and I believe that in today's society you won't get anywhere without an education and a good work ethnic. No matter what anyone tells you a college degree will be the smartest and most beneficial to you.

Spring Break

I went camping the first few days, then I went to the Dallas World Aquarium with my girlfriend and it was very exciting and fun. I then got to play the best sport to ever be created I got to play baseball. Even though we didn't win at all I still had fun because that is the funnest sport to me. Then I got to rest and be lazy for a couple of days and it was amazing. 

Fridays 3 Questions

1. My Mother has probably been the most influential person in my life. Everything she does she does it the the best of her abilities and makes the right decision almost everytime a conflict happens she is the best role model I could have and I would be lucky to achieve half the stuff she has and be half the person she is
2. I think Mr. Keatings poem means that we live for the love and romantic parts in life but there are also other parts in our lives such as working and engineering and I agree with that we hang around people who we love and who have love for us and you can't get anywhere without working. I believe we read poetry because poetry can express anything any emotion or any feeling but I think we read it because we want to know that other people are going through what we are going through.
3. I agree that you should always look at things in another perspective or their point of view because maybe its better than yours and maybe you are both right. I remember one time when I was a little kid me and my friend argued on who was right when I said one plus three is four when he said so is two plus two and I thought he was wrong then I ended up noticing he was right. 
4. My 'verse' I want to leave on the world is to be the best guy possible to be remembered for great things and make sure everyone knows that I am a great role model and I want to show everyone that its okay to make mistakes but I think my lasting impression is to seize the day and live your life the way you want because you have to make sure you are happy and you do everything for you and make sure its the right thing too though. 

3 Questions

1. I think that Neil still would have committed suicide eventually because his dad would have pushed him to the limit eventually and the only way he wouldn't have killed himself is if he moved out or if he did his own thing and his father let him.
2. I think the bravest was Charlie Nwanda because he was himself and did whatever he wanted, Cameron was the coward and was the reason charlie punched him in the face because he was a coward. 
3. I think the boys would've thought Mr. Keating was trying to help him and that Mr. Keating gave it to him when Neil went to visit him and I think Neil asked him for help and Mr. Keating gave him that and the dad just saw it and blamed him.
