Ernest Hemingway
"Today on the five o'clock news a man goes on a rampage at the office leaving five dead." As I flip on the TV, I see another top story! A man has killed others at his workplace and taken his own life. This is becoming very old. I begin to think, "what could push this person to the point where they feel that it is necessary to take the lives of innocent people?" Even more disturbing, what could drive a person to the point that they believe it is necessary to end their own life? What could drive a person to the point of no longer having the desire to live? I believe that being prepared for life and the difficulties that come along with it is part of the key. The world can be a very difficult place, especially once out of high school. It is the high school's job to prepare us, as students, for the harshness of the real world. Expectations are high for every single person in today's world and some people just can not live up to the expectations of other people. Trying to live up to other people's expectations creates competition. Competition is in everything from getting into college to finding a job.

If I can't even read in English how am I going to be able to read anything in Spanish? I have placed a little book in my portfolio that I made in Spanish. So in my football class I believe I showed enough skill in reading that I can qualify for a $5. This is when my English, Spanish and biology classes come in. I must "make" time to re-read things, even if it means making some sacrifices. A technique that I have learned to better help me understand and comprehend is to re-read. Then if I finish college I will have a successful career. Then after completing the assignment, I have to go through and make sure there are no mistakes and everything is spelled correctly. I also believe my skill of reading is shown and improved in my Spanish class. It is also important to listen in the class discussions so that I see other peoples view points and I am able to speak and express myself to the rest of the class. If not for my skill of reading comprehension, I might not be able to figure out each and every word problem. If we do not know how to read it, it is difficult to fully understand the article, and therefore the proper and safe lifting technique. I can now communicate with my grandma in Spanish, I can turn in what I believe to be quality work and receive high grades, which will be useful for my future. If I do not listen, then I will become lost and completely fail the test. Sure, the fast food job is great at $5. Reading has also helped me extend my vocabulary.
