Many people enjoy to watch famous celebrities and famous people on TV and in the movies because people fantasize about being that person they see. Everyone wants to be successful, when I watch people on TV that are rich I like it and at the same time i dislike it. I like it because i can visualize myself in the future being that person on TV, but at the same time i get upset watching these shows and movies because i start to think that it is not fair. Many of these people that are rich are Caucasians, i am not saying that they did not work hard for what they got. But they probably grew up in a stable economy and an okay environment. Unlike a lot of us minority growing up in a economically disfranchised family, and living in the ghetto's and slums. This always pushes me and drives me even more to be more successful, and thus giving me the need for me to get what i want in life.

Relationships - (PB)
When I am in a relationship, I put my all into it. I am nothing but loyal, honest, and respectful to my partner. I am young i do not really need to be in any relationships, but when I am, i try to be the best boyfriend that i possibly can be. Relationships are great, fun, and the best when you are in love with the other person. Oh, but when the relationship ends... it can two ways. It can go to the heartbreak side, which is filled with mood swings, anger, and jealousy. Or it can end in happiness, friendship, and you both move along. It really sucks when you invest so much time into one person for so long and at the end up it turns out that you two are not together anymore. You start to reminisce, you start to miss the things you guys used to do together, everything reminds you of the other person, and plus you cant do the things that you used to do. If you are in a relationship, make the best of it, while it last.
Honesty - Free choice
Honesty can go a long way. Honesty can be the answer that people are looking for. But sometimes people cannot take honesty. Honesty can help a situation, but it can also make it worse. This is why many people lie, because the truth can indeed hurt another person and the person lying may be afraid to say tell the truth because of how it may affect the other person. That or they are scared of the person. Honesty is key, especially in a relationship. You cannot have a healthy relationship without honesty. The best thing to do is to be honest. The person may or may not like what they are hearing, but they will respect you more. The truth will set you free though.

CRR - Heart Of Darkness Essay
Our latest assignment in Ms. Hegeman's class is to write an analytic essay. Analytic essay's help us with analyzing and breaking down text. This can help us when something is hard to comprehend as a whole. When encountering this problem I can use the skill of analyzing to help me understand a text more. Ms. Hegeman assigned our class to do an analytic essay on The Heart Of Darkness. Hopefully my essay comes out great. I am going to have to break down the text so that while the reader is reading my essay he/she can follow, visualize, and comprehend every detail and have a clear understanding in what they are reading.
