In this novel, The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield takes the shape of a child because he is experiencing different obstacles from having to switch schools all the time.

He was able to associate with different calibers of
My son Kaleb was born May 24 2008, and from that moment on I wanted to give him everything he deserves. I tried to go back to college right after my son was born, but I had no idea what I wanted to do for my future and taking care of Kaleb wasn't cheap. I was constantly working to pay for the expenses of Kaleb, while paying for the rest of the expenses I had. Finally four years later, I made the best decision I could for my family and that was going back to school. One of the many reasons why I came back was that I did not was to continue being in a factory the rest of my life.
Though as children age their imaginary friends become things of their past, many young adults continue to find supportive and mentoring characters in novels, on television programs, and on professional sport teams; the possibilities are endless. Holden Caulfield is his name, and he is the main character in J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye. My 9th grade English teacher assigned this novel on the summer reading list for incoming freshmen.

Even if 5:00a.m. seems too early, I know that school is important for my future and also if I plan on doing that traveling while I’m in the military. I have bad days and I have good days, the bad days seem to outweigh the good days more than any but as long as I keep striving on harder than what I have been and those bad days will start looking up! My bad days are when I know my grades have dropped to where they shouldn’t be and I get mad at myself for letting them slip into that dark place of failing grades. My parents push me to be the best that I can be, which sometimes I don’t care what they are saying, don’t they understand that 9th grade is hard?
Once I remembered my dream and put things into perspective, I registered for my “remedial” classes. After the pity party was over I remembered that dream when I was a child. After I started going to my classes, I started to plan towards that dream I once had as a child. I then made that dream my goal and I knew form that moment on that I would follow that plan all the way to law school. “How good you are in the beginning does not measure how great you can become.” There really is an enormous amount of truth behind this statement.
Educational Goal Statement My short term goal is to obtain my Associate of Applied Science in Educational Paraprofessional degree. My next goal would be to work on a Bachelor Degree in Literature to teach at a Junior High or High School. While I was in high school I obtained my cosmetology license, I have been doing this for the last 30 years. In the last 14 years I have been teaching children and have grown to enjoy being with children and teaching them. In 2010 I was pasted up for a job for not having any college hours.
Younger Americans these days are very much involved in the communities. I have noticed that some of my underprivileged peers are not as involved as much as I am. The gap that Putnam and Sander talk about between upper middle class and the lower middle class’ involvement grows wider each year. The latter of the two finds no interest in becoming involved within the community. Being born in 1995, I would be classified as the end of the 9/11 generation; I was too young at the time to remember what had happened that day yet like the kids that are the older ones in the generation I and many others my age are socially engaged.
Maturity for College Entering adulthood can be stressful and begin early in one’s life. Within American Culture, attaining a college degree is the status quo of our nation’s individuals. Many college students like me have felt the pressure deciding what to do after high school. Some young adults get married, enter the arm forces, get into vocational schools, or like most go to college. Linda Lee, an editor and writer of the New York Times, writes an article to the Time’s newspaper, based on her book, Why Your Child May Not Have to Go to College Right Now- And May Not Ever Have to Go(2000).
