Giving back

After I read how the guys got inspired and wanted to help the young people in the hood, i thought to myself and ask my self what i could do to help people to. What i came up with is after I learn all I can about computers and how they work i can tutor highschool seniors in the things I learned here so they won't be so under prepared and stressed out by all this if/when they start. I found myself stressed with some of my classes like the obes in computers and wanted to quit, buit I got use to it and can now do alot of things I couldn't before. I think if i can help at least one kid with these kinda problems I could make a difference in the world. Who knows that kid may be the next Bill Gates and create something better than the internet LOL.

Connection with character

I connected the most with Goerge becasuse like him I had a strong mom who worked hard to make sure I had everything I ever needed as a child, and she pushed me to do my best in school. I also connected with this character due to him never hanging with the wrong type of people, not because I didn't have the chance but because I never really wanted to. I knew my father and he was a big part of my life, but he and my mom split apart due to him becoming quadriplegic. It was his choice to split due to his feelings he never treated my mother right and she deserved to find someone and not have to be stuck with him. Even though she didn't feel that was she respected his decision and they both stayed friends. The chapter I connected the most with is when George found out about free college and tried to get his friends to go, the only difference is that my friends didn't join me LOL.

what challenges/obstacles do you believe you may face as a college student?

From reading this book and how the men in it pushed to better themseleves by doing anything they could to get through college and do great at it, really has shown me the reality of colllege. When the guys all went through the summer school program to make sure they were ready, made me think of all the times when I myself would complain about class or how school is taking up all my freetime. But after reading what Carla said about how this is to make the students future brighter and how it is going to help in the long run, well that made me see this all differently. College isn't taking up my time it is turning me into a better person and sure I feel like a prisoner sometimes but that is just my mind want to go to an easier time when I don't have all these responsiblities and can do what I want. But then I think to my self, isn't being a better person what I want and college is helping me do that like with Sam, Rameck, and George. As I read through these chapters I have seen how all three guys have had hard times and good times and it really speaks to me andmakes me wonder what moments of college will I remember.

Peer Pressure

I think George is right about the whole friends can influence you more than anyone. Sure your family has alot to do with it and role models too, but you pick your friends and they become more close to you than anyone. You share your secrets with them and they share their secrets with you, making the trust you have in them deepen. Those friends can make you feel better about yourself and make you feel like the worst piece of trash, and if those friends know they have that power over you they can make your life hell. A good friend wants what is best for you and will help you no matter what, and a bad friend drag you down with them and their awful choices. The thing is that there is always a good friend who has a bad friend, but it is all up to that person if they want to let their life be destroyed. Like with Rameck and his decision to stop hanging out with those "freinds" he thought would be their for him and loyal enough to stick together. Rameck is just lucky enough he found friends in Sam and George, people who wanted to better themseleves and also those around them.

Pictures of my role models

This man is my favorite action movie hero, I have watched alot of die hard movies and the character Bruce Willis player always makes me believe that you can do anything as long you fight for what is right.

This man, Bill Gates is a genius who has made the computer world what it is today. Bill Gates is a hero of mine because he has worked most his life to bring the world into the future. Not only did he make it so everyone could have a computer in the times when a computer was as huge as a car, but he kept working till we can do things like this blog.

Martin Luther King Jr is a man who fought for rights of people of color. He was a man to lead thousands so that I could have the same right as everyone else, knowing that he could be killed for it. Mr. King is my role model for his bravery and morel code.

Oprah is a women that has worked her way up to the top of the buisness world, and she not only shares he wealth that she has earned she also workes to better the world. I admire her for the strength she most have to go from nothing to one of the richest people in the world.
