Difficult Situations

 We can never be to sure what life has in store for us. Life is a journey and we go to different things every day that makes us who we are. In some cases for some people, different life challenges can be too stressful and they may need a break or even give up. Some challenges make people stronger and make them equipped to handle other situations.

I have faced a lot of different life altering situations but I always try to do what I think is the best for me at the time. For example, in high school I really liked this boy but he was a “bad” boy, he didn’t get good grades and did drugs and everything I thought was “edgy” and “fun” in high school, he was popular. Fast forward three years later and that popular boy that I had a crush on in high school has now passed away from a drug overdose and I can’t help but to think what if I wasn’t so shy in high school and I would’ve tried to date him, would he have changed my life for the worse? Where would I be in life right now? Would I have ever been in college or would I be dead like him? I think of this a lot because that one little change in direction could have altered my life completely.

I personally take school very seriously and I hope my younger brother does the same thing now and when he gets older. I feel like I have seen so many people in my life get caught up in the “street” life, trying to look “cool” and impress others but stuff like that is not worth it in my opinion. To have a good education is far more important than looking cool and getting caught up in the streets. I want my brother to know that being cool doesn’t mean not focusing on your education because that is what matters at the end of the day. 

When I am faced with a difficult situations I try to do as much as I can to get my mind off of those situations. I try to spend as much time with family as I can because that makes me happy and I get to laugh and it really takes my mind off what’s going on. Exercising has also been very helpful for me because I love a breath of fresh air and it helps me release all of the negative energy I feel in my body. Listening to music gets me pumped up and I feel a wave of very positive energy over me when I listen to music, it calms me down and I also enjoy dancing to the music and being silly.

Are we products of our environment & my mentor

Image
  As I reflect upon the thought, “ are we products of our environment?”  I believe that we are products of our environment. I strongly believe that if our environment isn’t a strong environment then we won’t succeed. Some people do push through different obstacles that they face in their environment but a lot of people don’t and they suffer greatly for it. In "The other Wes Moore", Wes and Wes grew up blocks away from each other but were raised by two different families with two different principles. From what I see in the video, the author of this book was raised in a family where they didn’t harm each other or anybody else and he made sure to take that with him as he got older, he did mention getting in trouble at 11 and ending up in handcuffs but he says with intervention, he was able to change his direction. The other Wes More might have learned that when he was younger but he didn’t take that into consideration when him, his brother and two others shot and killed someone

Are we products of our environment or products of our expectations?

   As I reflect upon the thought, “ are we products of our environment or products of our expectations?”  I believe that we are products of our environment. I strongly believe that if our environment isn’t a strong environment then we won’t succeed. Some people do push through different obstacles that they face in their environment but a lot of people don’t and they suffer greatly for it. For example, my mother went to college and has her bachelor's degree and is pursuing her masters degree right now and I feel like that is a strong push for me to do the same thing. For someone that didn’t grow up in the environment that I grew up in where education is mandatory, a lot wouldn’t think it’s mandatory, they would just live life without higher education if they felt it wasn’t a necessity. On the other hand, a lot of people also overcome their environments but they have to really push themselves to overcome what is around them. For example I didn’t grow up in the best neighborhood and I

Is Pop Culture Good For Me?

 Is Pop Culture Good For Me?  February 7, 2021 Is pop culture good for me? Pop culture is good for me and the rest of the world, how else would I be updated on everyday events going on around the world. For the past week I have been learning about and studying pop culture in the television, media, through fashion and etc and I have come to the realization that pop culture is in our everyday society. From what I have been viewing and exploring these last few days with this assignment, I have learned way more about pop-culture than what I knew before. The class readings and the group discussion have given me a new thinking pattern as to what I really know about pop-culture. Different pop-culture platforms, specifically television exercises to parts of your brain that map social networks that fill in the missing information that connects different parts of your brain. The kind of thinking that you do while watching pop culture is important because it is a kind of thinking that you have to
