Future

I am now 45 years old and am having a very successful career as a sports agent. I am a prominent force in the industry and have over fifty clients throughout all sports. I live in California and travel to New York City three times a week in my private air liner. When i need to meet with my clients I am one text message, e-mail or phone call away. I have two children and they both are in high school and are living happy lives. My home is the perfect size for a family of four and a pet and I have a nice car and both my children share one. The life I live is a great one and I am very happy for my healthy family. 

Describe This

It was gleaming with a reflection of the sun. The corners were so round and the surface was so smooth. It was the support of so many students in the past, and will be for so many students in the future. The flat top was wide and sturdy. It was the holding place for many objects. 

Cathedral & Everyday Use

Both short stories we read in class have a role reversal in the ending. In the "Cathedral", the ending switches for the husband and the blind man. Now the blind man is the one teaching and encouraging the husband to finish drawing the cathedral. In the beginning of the short story, the husband was mocking the blind man to his wife, and was trying to explain and ask him questions that he could not answer due to his disability. In the end this was not the case, it was the blind man who was encouraging and aiding the husband to finish the drawing and to explain the feeling and looks of a cathedral. The blind man says something like "Draw some people in the cathedral, what is a cathedral without people?".
The short story "Everyday Use" describes an African American family with two daughters and is narrated following the mother. Dee is the eldest of the family followed by Maggie. Dee is always the better looking one and Maggie is never the focus of anybody. Maggie's mother never acknowledges her or favors her. In the end of the story, Maggie is given quilts from her mother, a first time that her mother feels for Maggie rather than the know renamed Dee. Maggie has eclipsed her sister with more loyalty from her mother now.

Inauguration

Today's Inauguration is obviously a very historic one. I wish I was there in Washington, D.C. with the millions of spectators to witness history. On this day, the first African American president will be sworn in with the same bible that Abraham Lincoln used on his inauguration today. Today is a day to remember in American History. This will be a time to remember that I will tell my children about when I grow old. 

Bad Secret

The effect on me when I had to keep a bad secret was not fun. I was nervous because I didn't want to tell my friend that his girl friend cheated on him. She told me not to tell anybody but I knew I had to tell my friend. In the end I told him, which was breaking the promise, but my best friend comes before his girlfriend. 

Scarlet Letter

As of chapter 13, I am enjoying the book. The book recently has became very interesting and keeps getting more and more in depth. The novel keeps my interest and appeals to me because of the conflicts and problems. I am enjoying this novel and enjoy discussing it in groups. 

New Year's Resolution

My New Year's resolution is to create better study habits and set up a schedule for upcoming days of the week. I am going to do this in a disciplined way and continue to do this throughout the school year. My schedule will consist of events that include: homework, sports, tests, projects etc. My study habits will be focused more on meeting with my tutor frequently and studying several days for a test.
