Scholarship

A scholarship is important to help you pay for your college education. A scholarship is free and its something you do not have to pay back. It is important because first any scholarship is free and you do not have to pay for it. Second is that since a scholarship is free  then that means you do not have to pay it back from where ever you get it. It sounds like stealing money but your stealing money in a good way and for a good cause. Your college education can get quite expensive and by stacking up scholarships you would not have to worry as much to pay all that money back. The only thing you have to do is put in your time and maybe feel out a essay in order to receive a scholarship. Scholarships aren't hard to get and why not its free money to help you make more money in the future.

College Checklist

I recently went to Howard Payne and received my school Id and also received my schedule. Before I did this me and my family had to finalize all the finical aid and fasfa money and send that in. We also had to take visits down there to get a tour and get to know more about the college and also to do paper work. I am also going to play football so one of the visits we got to chill with the coaches and they treated us to lunch and talked about there program and what they got going. Thats about it i cant think of anything else we had to do.

Degree

A college degree is well worth the wait and worth the money at the time. College is like investing your money so later on you can have a lot more. College is expensive but in time it will pay off rather than not going to college. Social success would be different because you will find someone that is perfect for you and find someone who will make you become better. I would also chill with people who push each other rather than just settling for less. It will also lead to more money, a better family, and a happy life. Also you would be more intelligent if you were to go to college and be able to teach your kids some smart stuff. College is a smart investment and I would encourage anyone to go to college and tell them they are investing there money in a very smart way. One last thing girls wouldn't want no one broke, they want the man with all the money.

The U.S. school system is the best school system when compared to others. When compared to Mexico's education we have a lot more opportunities in life and to become something. They said the the government in Mexico gives the teachers too much money and doesn't invest enough into the kids themselves. In the U.S we are privileged to have all this technology and advanced equipment to help us learn. Also I learned that in Mexico they lack on mathematics, science, and also reading. These subjects are key and very important in the U.S. school system so that is a advantage we have. The U.S. gives way more opportunity to the kids rather than what Mexico gives to there kids. If I were to rate the U.S. school system on a scale 1 to 10 I would give it a solid 10. If I were to rate Mexico's school system I would give it a 5. Also in the USA a lot of kids go off to college and in Mexico only the smart and wealthy go to college. Statistics say only 90% go to elementary school, then drops to only 64% attend middle school, and only a quarter pass onto high school or higher education.  

Spring Break

I really didn't do anything fun over spring break. I helped my parents work on their room. I went to chipotle and ate and I also went shopping one day and it was kind of cool buying some clothes and stuff.  I also saw coach thrush and it was awkward.  I chilled at home and chilled with my girlfriend alot. I played soccer too we had a game and barely lost 1 to 0 in last final minutes of the game. Other than that I just chilled and rested, being away from school was all I needed. I had also preaches this past Sunday so during the week I had to study my sermon. I really cant think of anything else off the top of my head. Thats my my spring break so yea.

Questions

The most influential person in my life I would say hands down my mother. My mother didn't read poems to me but she was there threw the thick and thin. Thats is who and why

Poetry is dumb to me and I personally do not read it. Poetry is dumb because I can come up with poetry and when your going threw hard times, poetry is not the answer. Most poets are atheist for example Langston Hughes and atheist do not have eternal peace so they tend to question everything because deep down they fear and dont have the answer to our existence.

Like again I personally think there is a yes or no there is no gray area. It's either black or white and nothing in between so thats how I view things. I dont try and dig for no other answer, the only answer is yes or no.

I dont care about what I leave behind. I dont save up my treasure here on earth where moth and rust collects and where thieves break in and steal but I store up my treasure in Heaven where it is safe and secure and where thieves cant steal and where dust and rust do not collect and there my heart will be also.

Questions

1. Would Neil still have committed suicide if Mr. Keating had never come into his life? Consider multiple perspectives here as you draft your group response.
No, if Mr. Keating would of never been in Neil's life then Neil would have never committed suicide. Mr. Keating taught the kids to be there selves no matter what others think and that is exactly what Neil did but his dad didn't like that.
2. Who was really the bravest of Keating’s boys? Who was a coward? Be explicit and support your answers.
The Bravest was Newanda because he was doing the most like when he pooled that phone prank. The coward is the orange hair kid because he just snitched on everyone and everything they did.
3. How did the poetry book make it into Neil’s room? (Did Keating put it there?) And if so, why, after telling the boys that the present administration would not look favorably on it, would Keating do that?
I believe Mr. Keating put it there as bait trying to get the boys get bite on to it and it worked. The boys especially Neil took  it and ran with it. Being an example by telling them that people arent going to approve of it but as long as you love it then that is all that matters.

Dead Poetsssss

This movie displays many types of themes if you ask me. The one that sticks out to me is that stand up for what you believe in. This movie shows and demonstrates how stuff was ran back then and how people viewed certain things. This movie shows that the kids just go to school then right after school they become doctors or whatever it might be. The problem with this is that this wasn't the kids passion and this inst what they wanted for themselves. For example, Neil wanted to act but his dad put him in the school so he could be a doctor or something, but when really Neil wanted to act. Then Neil went on to act when his dad told him not to and Neil had got in real trouble by his parents. Then long story short Neil ended up killing himself because he was too scared to stand up for what he believed in. During his time Mr Keeting was responsible for the suicide and had gotten in trouble for basically telling a kid to follow his dreams and do for himself rather than for other people. Mr Keeting just taught to be yourself and it doesn't matter what other people think about you, what matters is your opinion.
