He searched for ways to fill the hole in his heart since he grew up without a father in the home, in places where he probably shouldn’t. The author is aware that he made some tremendous mistakes along the way, but he is very grateful to have had the freedom to redeem himself and made a point to mention, “ When we’re young, it sometimes seems as if the world doesn’t exist outside our city, our block, our house, our room. We make decisions based on what we see in that limited world and follow the only models available.” I agree with this statement because our childhood gives us our baseline values and beliefs, these are the

Eventually, he tells his brother but does not feel bad or anything because women around their age have children and aren't worried about their future just like he is. The reaction his mom had was surprising, she didn’t scream or yell, she just dropped the knife and asked who wanted some cake .        Yes, I have. It is a bit of a funny story. On March 6, 2022, it was my mother’s birthday and since she is not caught up with technology just yet, everything would go through me, for example, if she needed to transfer money to different accounts, she would ask me to help her or most of times, do it for her. So, it is her birthday and ot

Back when I was in eighth grade and wanted to do a vocals class because I believed that it would help me with my confidence but unfortunately, my audition didn’t make it through, so I decided to try out a theater class and I believed that I did poorly because I couldn’t remember my lines or knew enough information about the script I had but I still made it in the class.

Are We Products Of Our Environment Or Products Of Our Expectations?

 McKayla Dudley  LTED2051817 Contemporary Literacies Spring   4/6/2022                      Are We Products of Our Environment or Products of Our Expectations?  I do believe that we are the products of our environment but more so, it's almost like we're victims of it too. Of course, not all of us are victims but those that can say that there are no rules that say being a product of your environment must be bad or negative. While the expectations society lays on us may influence our choices, we are ultimately still in charge of our actions. For example, if society wants us to get a car, we'll get a car, if we want a house, we'll get a house. Instead, we can say that we are the products of our actions, however, the same thing can be true with expectations, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, we become subject to expectations placed on us. In personal experience, when it came time to start applying for colleges, everyone including my friends was telling me to go
