A new experience

My parents always told me you don't know how lucky you really are. And I am know realizing I had no clue, going to school here I always have in the back of my mind the feeling of wanting more, watching shows on MTV with nice cars and huge houses I want it! Until we started learning about the lower class I was aware that there was people living in poverty but I didn't realize their struggle they live through daily. When I thought I had a bad day I didn't realize there is people out there who have a bad life, as some students express its there fault that they are in poverty but my opinion has changed! Your life is what you have been born into its not your fault its just the way it is... So maybe lending out a helping hand is more appreciated then we thought.

More like a game of chance

The life we one day have is the life we are born into, it's just like a roll of the dice... And life is what we make of it. The people who live in poverty and who have to walk to work everyday I feel bad for... but the women who worked at burger king wasn't poor me feel bad for me... she knew there wasn't anything she could do to change what life gave her. I know a lot of people think people who are in poverty its their faults but this class is teaching me maybe it's not all their faults... maybe they just got a bad roll...

30 days WITHOUT!

30 days in prison seems more than enough time to drive me crazy! I can't even imgaine 30 days grounded... and for some people in our class how would they live without edline for 30 days!? lol I'm just kidding! but watching that show made prison seem pretty easy... I don't understand why they don't just make prison confinement, it drove that one guy on the show crazy... hopefully that would scare people into not going but i guess not. I don't really know anyone who has ever been in prison and i haven't been there so I had no concern about it! but now that I actually see what its like I wish there was something I could do to help people learn their leason...

A School of Saints

I wouldn't say our high school is filled with Saints! but people like the gang the Saints we read about in the last article! I found the article to be so true! Not just at our high school but any where you go there will be people who make trouble and people who cause trouble behind the scenes. I think about 90% of our school would be considered Saints and the rest seen as Roughnecks because there is people who don't like our school system! but what i learned from this reading if i want to get anywhere in life and still have a fun time just manipulate the system! JK!
