For many years I was scared to go to college because I thought I wasn’t college material. Hearing Capitan Mark Kelly speak about being an underachiever, and a “not so great” student really helped me see that light at the end of the tunnel. When final build up the courage with in myself, I enrolled into San Jacinto College. The only thing that stood in the way was that standardize test. I had to take the entry exam after five years of not being in school.
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. My senior year I transferred to Christ Missionary and Industrial high school (college) the year flew by but I really enjoyed myself there. Now I am still here at CM&I , I supposed to be a summer graduate if everything goes as planned. Once I finish high school I plan on signing up for the air
In the novel, In the Country of Men, Suleiman is put under a lot of pressure throughout his life. I can relate my personal issues with Suleiman because I am also put under pressure by my family. My family puts pressure on me every day: They want me to go to a prestigious university and study medical science, without taking my personal interests into account. They always reject my ideas and opinions about my future, convinced that their own ideas are best. My parents believe that if I were to study medical science, I would go on to live a wealthy and promising life, what they do not know, is that I would no longer be happy.
I believe if I cannot breathe under my own power, then I am not meant to live. In my opinion, being confined to bed and only staying alive by artificial means is not living. Mr. Bartling had a living will signed stating that he understood that having the ventilator removed will very likely cause respiratory failure and ultimately lead to his death.and that he was willing to accept that risk. He also had several documents stating very clearly that he did not want to continue living an artificial life finding it to be unbearable, degrading and dehumanizing. He, his wife and daughter also executed documents which released the

Older people always tell me they would re-do there high school years over again, but not me. Graduation day had to be the best day of my life, finally my senior year was over. I could finally get away from the horrible memories I had and start over. I couldn’t believe I made it through Brennan High School. A lot of people always think Brennan High School is for bad kids, kids that get kicked out of school that might be true for a few but most of us were there for emotional problems.
Coming from a big family I have seen certain family members struggle in life simply because they did not have an educational background. This has only motivated me to want to finish getting my degree so I can hopefully find a great career in the near future. Going through everything I did with my family in the past will benefit me as I begin this degree program also because when I finish I hope I will have inspired other members in my family to finish school also. Being African American has set me back in life a few times but every since I experienced that it has only made me more determined to finish school. This way, the next time I apply for a job they will be too impressed with my educational background to turn me
Matt now has a son, a good wife, and an ordinary life; he still has a good family life without going to university. In contrast with Kate, although she has good education and job, she doesn’t have her own family and in fact, she says, “I had never thought I would really love anyone.” (89) From another perspective, she seems to be the one that is going to have a sad life. Similar with Luke, when he rejects Sally it is due to his responsibility as a caregiver. He is happy with his decision since it is for his family. If Matt chooses to go to university instead and leaves Marie, he will most likely lose his happiness and truly be an emotionless “nerd” and suffers like Kate who does not truly knows the meaning of love.
Such other influences such as their family’s poverty and lack of opportunities has made him realize that he didn’t want to live such a life, as he got older. He wanted to live the life of luxury and to be able to make it to the top of whatever industry he pursued in. Due to those thoughts, he was highly influenced by his mother’s daily dreams of making it to the top, and see that her family also lives a life of luxury, one day. His father’s fail of being able to keep the money in their lives stable and be able to work in a well job, truly made Carnegie see in his eyes, that he wanted to surpass his father. He was going to surpass
We were only getting a ration that would keep us barely alive. The pain worsens everyday and I can’t wait until that day where I stop living and just collapse, but then I think for a second, I think of how selfish I am being. My mother and sister wouldn’t want that, they would hurt knowing their son has given up, so that’s what is keeping me moving. Sometimes I question if they are still alive, but I shouldn’t I should be confident and think and hope of the best. I will survive!
