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.
I feel that if I believe in something so much and pray for it every day and also work at it every day, it will come true no matter how slim my chance is. Most people decide to give up when they think the little possible chance is impossible. Well, not me; if there is a will, there is a way and the reason I left my son and made the choice to play football for Wayne State is to get an education and also make it to the pro‘s. In the movie Pursuit of Happyness, Chris Gardner is a marginally employed salesman and a single father, struggling with the mother of his five year old son Jayden Smith.

Evaluation micro theme I was hesitant to read the book The Glass Castle when I skimmed the back cover as I am not a big fan of sad stories, but this one was different. I stayed up late that night fighting sleep and nearly finished the whole book. It is typical to read a book about a child having a bad childhood; these books tend to hold to readers interest because their lives often seem very different from our own. I recently read a memoir written by Jeanette Walls, The Glass Castle. The storyline of the book was similar to those other books about kids with a rough upbringing but somehow it stands out above the rest in its genre.
My ninth grade was pretty cool until the last week of school I let my mouth get the best of me and said some things that I really should’ve not said and because I did I earned the next semester at the alternative school. When school started back I was very sad because I had to go to the “bad” school with all the “bad” kids and I was very nervous. Once I got there it was pretty cool and I really enjoyed it because the classes were smaller and you got more one on one help. My grades went up and my mom decided that I should spend the rest of the year there, which really messed me up because they did not offer any elective classes only the basics . My eleventh grade year was also a disaster because of the struggle of passing my biology state test and I was really distracted and just wanted to go back to the alternative school but my mom and the principle would not send me back.

Today, millions young adults are facing real problems: lack of job opportunities, housing, and trying to survive in a fast, globalized world.
