   Have you ever had to give someone news that you knew would break their heart? How did you build up the courage?      I remember when I was younger I decided to sneak out from my house to go hangout with a group of “friends” at the moment. I knew If I got caught sneaking I would get in a lot of trouble but at the moment I just wanted to have fun. I snuck out to go to a party and there was a lot of underage drinking, we were all under eighteen. I was sixteen, almost close to turning seventeen. Everything was fine until many fights started to happen which caused a lot of noise and out of nowhere the cops showed up at the house party we were at. A couple of cop cars showed up to the house and some kids were able to run away but the rest of us couldn’t. The cops shut down the party and shouted “nobody is leaving until each of your parents come and pick you guys up”. At the moment I knew I was done. I knew I was going to get in trouble for drinking an...

  Have you ever made a decision that you believe could have altered your life path?      I believe I have made many decisions that could have altered my life path. Many people believe that the decisions they make sometimes won’t bring them any consequences when in reality it does. Many of us have something that identifies us. I think because I was very young and did not think of the consequences I used to act without thinking. I’ve had a few mess ups along the way. I did a big one when I was sixteen. I used to think life was all full of fun moments and having no care in the world until I had to go through a rough phase that made me become more aware of my decisions at this age. I used to get caught up in the moment with “friends” in highschool and was reckless thinking it made me cool. I was the only one with a car and I just felt like everybody genuinely wanted to be my friend when in reality they weren’t the ones I could confine in at all. I made a lot of...

                                                            A re we products of our environment or products of our expectations?       I believe that we are a little bit of both. I’m more of being products of our expectations because of how things are viewed at home and how we see others manage their life. Being surrounded by positive expectations, we chose to follow that because of the positive outcome. We expect a lot of ourselves because we receive the same energy from our family members or our loved ones next to us. It also connects to how much we believe in ourselves. If we set a goal to accomplish something and we remain positive then there’s a higher chance for it to workout the way that we want it. The more we have higher expectations along with having faith in ourselves then the mo...

                                                                     Is Higher Education Worth The Price? I chose the image above because in a way it connects to the articles I read about how college has increased overall. There are four different categories where it shows the percentage of how many students feel college was a good investment, how much students are worried about how much they have to pay for college, a certain percentage of americans who say that college is just too expensive to afford and lastly the average amount student were debt in back in 2015. I feel like it gives a good representation of what also is occurring nowadays. For example, many students don’t have the money to afford college which plays a big role as to why some kids after highschool just decide to wor...

   Is Fast Food The New Tobacco? It’s incredible how all the food that we consume somehow gives us side effects. I was surprised hearing how bad the food I eat daily is and even the foods that I thought were healthy, aren’t. I realized that every food can lead to long term sickness. In the article “ Don’t blame the eater”. I agreed with a statement that said “shouldn’t we know better than to eat two meals a day in a fast food restaurant?” because of how we know the consequences that it could lead if we eat out a lot, especially junk food. Nobody should get blamed because of the food that people consume on their own will. It even mentioned how kids wanted to sue the mc donalds company because of how it’s causing them to look. McDonalds is one of the main fast food companies where a lot of people visit and eat from but nobody is being forced to eat from there. Society eats what they want and also knows what they are taking in their body. In the second article of “What You Ea...

                                                                                                                Is Pop Culture Good For You?        I believe pop culture is good for everybody and it’s something many people use nowadays. There are a few differences because in one of the ted talks it mentions how pop culture is dead just because social media is running it. Social media does play a big role in today's society because a lot of people depend on it. Even speaking for myself, I use social media every single day. I usually spend more time on tiktok that also connects to pop culture because of the different varieties that are shown in the app, along with instagram and facebook. I...
