Something I believe in most is learning. Learning is important because it helps you a lot. There are many different things it helps you with like getting a job, going to college ,and many more.
I believe in learning because if you never learn you wouldn’t be walking or talking. You learn how to walk by your parents and the school teaches you to talk and speak correctly, but your parents teach you how to speak a little bit too.
I remember being young. Not a care in the world. Now, I have to care about every move I make. It’s like even when I do one little thing; Its all wrong. Everything now is so hard, but its worth it. I believe that life can be good and bad, and here’s why.
It seems that math is harder than anything else. As if it’s trying to drag me down. It’s like when I’m almost out of the scary darkness; life pushes me back in. Life can be so rough.

In the Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry , it seems as though there are many siblings (mostly brothers). In the beginning, two brothers are "arguing." As stated, the youngest brother does not listen and does whatever he wants. He also doesn't pay attention. As they walk along with the other brothers, the youngest brother falls behind and he has to catch up. If he doesn't catch up, they would be late. "You keep it up and you're gonna make us late."
This topic interests me because I want to know if I will live longer then my parents, or grandparents? I also want to know what new technology they can come up with. It interests me because I want to know what kinds of things they will be able to cure. The more problems they can solve the longer some people will live. I also think it would be really cool to try to help finding cures and learning all the new medical technology. Helping people is something I always love doing.

I am reading a book called the Tent by Gary Paulsen. I think it’s pretty good, it’s about a teenage boy name Steven and his father. Steven’s mother apparently ran off with some guy shortly after Steven was born. Still I think even though Steven’s father keep telling Steven “your mother has gone off with a ... well ... a friend” I think he is old enough to know what his father means by that. On top of that they are poor. Living in a ten- year- old rented trailer in a trailer park.
Tom Shadyac, one of Hollywood's leading comedy practitioners and the creative force behind “Ace Ventura,” “Liar Liar,” “They Nutty Professor,” and “Bruce Almighty,” also brought one of the most inspiring documentaries, “I AM,” this documentary focuses on what happened to him after a cycling accident that left him incapacitated, possibly for life and what he does to make a difference. Shadyac felt the need to tell others about his prior life of excess and greed, and how himself as an individual could contribute to society by changing the way we live.

Basically I'm talking about this big decision I have to make: if I want to graduate or be a nobody and its looking like im going to quit my job just so that I can be happy later.

I remember when I was a kid, I would sit there, watching the television. You would lots of cartoons. I remember they would have this one cartoon that used to stop and then cut a preview of that cartoon, only it would tell you to go and watch that show later. I would be in the middle of Animaniacs and then it would cut to Tom and Jerry, tell when and where, then back to Animaniacs. It was annoying. But I do have to say, it looked interesting. Violence is funny. Violence I always funny. Never gruesome. Only suggested. Imagined. Unlike how it is today. I miss those days though.
