Barbara was able to maintain herself economically. She tried to spend less so that she will have enough money for her house rent, gas and food. She bought no clothing except for the required slacks. She made the decision to move close to where she works due to the amount spent on gas daily. “in a month, I earned approximately $1040 and spent $517 on food, gas, toiletries, laundry, phone, and utilities”( 75 reading across the curriculum, pages 395-426, paragraph 65).
When we are eating no teachers are around us giving us more lessons. Is it really going to hurt someone texting at lunch? You think that would be an appropriate time, but its not. Or during passing periods we had five minutes to get to class to class. I know for some students it doesn't take that long to get to class unless talking with your friends which is the biggest thing.
In school I just listen and take notes about what is on the computer screen being projected on the wall while occasionally playing on my phone and sleeping. After school I drive home because I have nothing else to do and it has usually been a long day. When I get home I eat, watch television and procrastinate. When I’m done with that I clean the house, try to do my work and hang out with my girlfriend. My life comparison of the 1950s and now looks like I might want to live in the 1950s but I never covered how much stress life really was during that time, only the technology.
He's so dreamy! I wish my mom would buy me that, but we don't ever have any money to spend on that kind of stuff!” my friend said this, “Well, you could always DOWNLOAD it off of the internet for free!” (she told me how to do it) after I got off the phone with her I couldn't wait to download my first batch of songs but, it didn't stop there. Growing up in my life has never been easy, we CONSTANTLY run out of Nutella, my curfew is only 8:30pm On school nights, and I have to take the trash out EVERY NIGHT. With that in mind, I thought swapping music online would give other repressed children an opportunity to see some positivity In their cruel lives. I thought it was the right thing to do.” Given the consequences Brianna LaHara faces, I believe the “Clean State Program” is a very reasonable program.
A personal experience that has made a lasting impression on me has to be when I moved out of my parent’s house. Having to find my own apartment and start paying my own bills made me realize life in the real world is not as easy as people think my parents made it look way too easy having to find time to wash my clothes and clean under my bed was not as easy as you might imagine. I have a lot to get used to even still. I can’t even go to sleep without eating a bowl of cereal, which some nights I don’t even have because of Lack of money and
It’s a rare thing to do when you have five children. I was starving and decided to eat at Bob Evans because I had never been there before. I was accompanied only by my smart phone. I decided instead of sitting at a table alone I would try the breakfast counter with other people dinning alone, it was a brave move. I wanted to see would people actually have a conversation with me.
I grew up with my grandma and my aunt. My dad took us with him and my older sister. My grandma was the one who took care of us, but she was old. My grandma can’t read or write. And while I had my toys and my friends around I still had to be responsible about doing my homework and wake up every morning and wear my clothes to go to school.
When I was in my Junior High School years, I dropped out because I had really low grades and I was super behind in all my classes. My family and I were migrants; my entire childhood was spent in the fields and I literally mean in the fields not just working up North. I would spend half of the school year working with my parents and sisters, so by the time I went back to school, I was behind and very lost in all my subjects. I would stay after school every single day until I catched up with every missing grade that I had. Never did I enjoy staying after school just to fill up grades I never wanted to fail.
Some friends reduced my pressure by their understanding about American students; “All they like to do is join in the party; you will never see them studying in the library more than three hours. The truth is you cannot compete with them in language, but you can compete with any American student in academic study, because they are so lazy.” I was so excited, even though I did not know if it was true or not. After a whole day trip, I found my dorm in PFT with a tired body and spirit. “What does my roommate like?” I was thinking before I opened the door. All the lights were on but no body was in the room.
The Reading Wait I’d wake up at 5:30am every morning. After taking a quick shower, I’d comb my long hair back into a low ponytail, making sure that there were no sharkfins. There could never be any sharkfins. I’d put on a T-shirt and jorts and head upstairs to eat breakfast, usually just a bowl of cereal. Captain Crunch if I was lucky.
