 In my culture, men are supposed to be strong. I'm not gonna lie Im a sensitive guy so this don't really help me all that much. I used to cry lots as a kid, but as I grew up I've stopped, obviously I'm still sensitive about things but I don't be crying no more. One specific moment I remember is when I was 7 my dad got deported and one of the last things I was told by both my parents was that I was the man of the household. I had to be strong for my siblings and my mom. Luckily this helped me overcome the crying and has made me the person I am today. Obviously I do get sad but I have found different ways to convey that emotion.

I don't want no person to be thinking that way about any of my sisters, and the only way to show people something ain't right is if you educate them. Ignorance is a horrible thing and education is something every deserves. This course has taught me about my absolute laziness I have in school. I know I'm not going to college but I should give it my all while I'm still in school and there really is no excuse to be lazy. If I was this lazy at work I woulda been fired. I should treat everything as if its important and shouldn't be procrastinating. Thanks Mr Reese you helped me out a hell of a bunch and I appreciate w...
