While I was reading, “Metamorphosis”, it made me view life in a different way, and made me come to a decision of taking time out for myself in order to enjoy every essence of being me, and not neglect myself.

Sacrifice was something that I had to learn to tolerate when returning to school. Spending time with my family became less of a benefit that I once enjoyed and that many take for granted. Sleep deprivation and personal time was also something that returning to school had an impact on. Study habits are difficult to maintain and focus, due to my children wanting my attention non-stop. My parents support in this process has been a blessing as they’ve taken much of the burden therefore providing peaceful nights and lessening some of the stormy days.

So i can say that in this class, ideology impacted me to an extent, but in certain areas, its still undefined for me. Though my education and how i can ideologically apply it to literature is still undefined, I can easily say that i really enjoyed this class. I walked out knowing more than i did when i came in, and it also altered the way i view things such as friends, family, work, religion and so on.

He dedicated his life and time to studying and reviewing books and knowledge of his educators, leaving no time for his family or extracurricular activities: A primary reason for my success in the classroom was that I couldn’t forget that schooling was changing me and separating me from the life I enjoyed before becoming a student. In this quote, Rodriguez feels that the main reason why he has become so successful in his education is by reminding himself that his schooling was actually allowing him to broaden and expand his mind of knowledge, which in turn was separating him from the life he had before engaging the desire of becoming a student. The drawbacks Rodriguez had such as, not being able to spend time with his family and missing out on family events and activities, left him drifted from his own parents. Rodriguez also felt that his parents were holding him back and not as bright of a scholar as he: I was the one who came home and corrected the “simple” grammatical mistakes of our parents.

Aside from room, board, books, and tutoring, these athletes receive top coaching, training, and often exposure for a possible professional athletic career.

The money being used to make pennies could be made for other, more useful, things such as buying supplies for schools or helping the homeless.

It is clear that many of them work not because they are hard working by nature but because they have bills that are more than what they make, so many are bound to do more than two jobs just to meet up, and this will eventually goes to statistics as hard working but it is not, it is working to make ends meet.

This is due to parents that can easily afford to spend thousands of dollars out of pocket for a four year degree. In the lower income areas, these graduates do not have the funds or opportunities of their counterparts.
