The Challenge

Though module one was a challenge in itself, but there are so many things that I Going am proud of. I came into Bc very confident and open minded. I already knew the basics of grammar, so I thought that it was no problem. I was always on time when I turned in my assignments, I didn’t give up, and I tried to learn something new every time I walked in the door. Although I thought that I knew everything that was going to be taught, I found out that it was going to be more of a challenge than I thought. As the weeks kept coming, there were more lessons that went into the depth of English, Such as fragments and incomplete sentences. As time went on, it was starting to become a little stressful. I then started to notice a turn in my work performance. All of a sudden I started to do my work at last minute. I was not bringing my A game. Everything that I did was not my best. The communication between me and my peers started to go downhill, and I started to become lazy all around. When I saw this happening, I them started to clean up my act and change. When our teacher assigned us out elevator pitches, I started to work on it immediately. When the competition came up, I worked hard and won. This showed me that anything is possible with hard work and perseverance. I was finally proud of myself. I felt as if I accomplished something that I deserved. This attitude now follows me into module two, and I am looking forward to leaning more.

Were it all began

Often times you hear people give reference their neighborhoods as a sign of respect. People usually get their habits from the places and the environments that they grew up in, and it often shapes who they are as a person. For me, I grew up in Santa Cruz California. I was born and raised there. I guess you can say that I got my entire flavor from that city. Beings that Santa Cruz is a very diverse place, everybody sort of gets along. Everybody there is friendly, and knows everybody on a personal level. When you look at my character I am the exact same way. I realize that Santa Cruz had a bigger effect on me than I thought. All of the thing that surrounded me as a child were positive, Down from the people, the environment, and the greatness. Santa Cruz is known for the infamous beaches and the boardwalk. I have been going there since a child. Everything excites me from the rides, to the smell of the delicious foods being fried. For a long time, I didn’t know how this related to my character, but to my surprise it did. Everything that I experienced shaped me, and now I appreciate it more than ever. When I was younger my mother used to enroll me and my cousins into a summer program called Camp Cruz. We often went to many places such as museums, camp sites and different monuments. Now that I am older, I realized that this is one of the main reasons why I am so adventurous. I got exposed to things like this at a young age. I have experienced different walks of life, and different cultures. Everything that I have been through has made me this way. The neighborhood  that I grew up in is the mecca of what makes me who I am

The Poverty Business

Should the poor have more protection rights when it comes to their financial protection? This question has been asked for many years and many decades. The financial system of America has been known to keep the rich more rich, and the poor more poor. In this particular report called “ The poverty business”, it explains many examples of people who have been affected by the unfair laws and policies of the government financial system. The conversation of how the poor and rich are taxed comes up very often. It seems as if the poor are taxed more than the 1 percent of American who are rich. The lack of protection for the poor is very wrong. There is indeed a market to get rich off of the poor. But we as a society need to decide how we can make this better for everyone below the poverty level. People need to be serious about what they want. There should be no reason for people with low credit to be charged more than what they can afford. There should be more protection laws for low income people  . I also believe that people need to educate themselves on what is out there for them. People need to know the inside and out of their financial rights. Until that happens, people will continue to get ripped off from what they need and deserve.  Until people find out what is good for them, they will remain stuck in poverty.
