Assignment 3

I have valued a lot of events in my life that really determined who I really am. One of the important events was playing soccer as I grew up. I have always had a strong love and passion for that sport growing up in Rochester. It kept me away from all those bad influences. It kept me away from all the bad friends I had. I didn't have to hangout with them as much as I used to hangout with them. It showed me how to be a leader, and be more responsible for what I love doing. This is what really makes you different from others when you know you're priorities. My priorities are stayin away from all those bad influences and to be much successful.

I kind felt frustrated with my brother couple times. He's kind picky for what he does. It's not that bad because he wants me to be successful, but sometimes it kind gets out of hand and becomes more annoying than being more helpful. I dont blame him for that because if I have done what i needed to do in the first place, I don't think he would frustrate me as much as he does.

Assignment 2

I strongly agree with George when it comes to that kind of situation. In the teenage world, its possible for you to get peer pressured in many ways. Wheater its a good peer pressure or bad peer pressure. I have witnessed so many people get peer pressured in either negative or positive ways. I have a friend named Sadiq thats was peer pressured a lot. At first, he was a good student, the kind student that you would think he will do really good in college. In his last two years of high school, he started to mess up. He start it coming home late, getting trouble with the law. I try to help him in a positive way. I try to direct him in a possitive direction. I made him sign up for the soccer program in high school. In our away time he will start messing up again. So, I dont know what happened to him now since i moved to Edina, But i tried harder to direct him to the right direction.

assignment 1

1. I think, he believed that in order to hangout with his friends; he has to be down for whatever that goes down inside his crew. so, he was willing to do anything for his crew.
2. I think, he was responsible for his own actions because he has to know his priorities. i can see its very hard for him especially if his parents are both drugies, and as a teenager i dont think that comes in easy hand.
3. Yes, they are responsible for their own action because by the end of the day no one will be responsible for your own mistakes except you. so, you have to know all those things when you decide to be foolish, and make sure you always know your own priorities.
4. I have two people that really influenced me growing up. first, my soccer coach is one of them. he was right there everytime i try to mess up. he really cared for me. he didnt care if i did really good on the soccer field. he more cared for me and my school work. even though i was one of his top players on the team. second, my brother, he really helped me a lot when it came to whome hangout with because there were times where i tend to slipout.
