Scholarships
A scholarship provides a free education for the people who work hard. It helps people save money and creates less stress for them because they don't have to worry about money problems. It helps them work harder to maintain the scholarship because if you slack off your scholarship is gone. I lets your parents have something to brag about especially if you have Asian parents.

to get to these colleges I will have to take one more year of english, math, and science. I will also need to get a better SAT score. I will also need to sign up for the ACT. I also need to write my essays for the colleges and get some letters of recommendations. I will also need to come up with $194 for the application fee. To get all of these things done I have made a timeline:

- In the Summer I will save up money from my job to get the $195 for the colleges.
- June 6 I will be taking the SAT again.

- The next school year I will be taking my last year of english, math, and science.

College Degree
A college degree can get you places. If you get a degree then you are more capable of getting better jobs and not having to worry about if you can't make the rent, bill, taxes in time. It it worth it because you get something out of it. You get better opportunities and you can get your dream job. It is worth it because you have been working all this time to get to where you want to go in life not where you wish to go. It also brings you social success because you meet a lot of new people in college and also when you start to pursue your career you start to meet new people and become friends with the boss. it brings you social success because you get to hang out with the people who have degrees and are successful in life. When you hang out with successful people you will start to want to be successful.

Spring Break
For spring break my family and I are going to the silver leaf resort. When I get there my plans are to go fishing. I will also play basketball and just relax with the family. When I get home today I will practice baseball because I do not have a game to day because of the snow. The stupid snow made us not play 10 games and have batting and bunting practice everyday.

Dead Poets Society Questions for me
1. The most influential leader for me is my father. He has influenced me because of the stories he told me of how he grew up. He came from Vietnam and growing up he didn't have a father he was raised by his mother but his mother didn't have money so he was put in the orphanage. Then he came over in a small boat
2. It means that poetry is an expression of everything as in people write poetry explaining life or they write it for entertainment. Poetry can be written for anything, and it gives life to the world. I think we read poetry because it gives us inspiration or motivation.
3. Yes, I do agree with Mr. Keating, because you do have to look at situations or thing in other perspectives before you engage into it. If you are looking at one perspective and engage into a conversation with a person with another perspective you wouldn't get what anyone is saying or talking about, it wouldn't make sense to you.

Dead Poets Society Questions
1. No, Neil would of committed suicide either way. In the beginning of the movie Neil's dad dropped one of his classes and he tried arguing with his father but his father didn't care. then his friend came out of the dorm and asked why he never stands up for himself and they talked about how he is running his life. If he had not of met Mr. Keating his father would of ran his life and he would of been miserable and he would of committed suicide either way.
2. The bravest of Keating boys was Charlie, and the coward was the ginger boy that told on the dead poet society. Charlie was the bravest because he was the one that didn't care what he did no matter the consequence. the ginger head boy was a coward because he was scared and told on the boys.
3. I feel like Mr. Keating did put it in there. Yes, he would do that because he is not like the other teachers at the school.

Dead Poet Society Theme
In the film Dead Poet Society the main theme is not to conform, just like Mona Lisa smile. In the film the boys were always taught to do things their father says, what their mother said, or what grown-ups say. The boys are then taught to not conform to society. Their teacher Mr. Keating helps them to live life and not be held down by their fathers, teachers, and things that are expected by society. One example of this is when Mr. Keating told them to rip out a section of the book, explaining how to create good poetry. He does this because he wants the boys to know that you don't have to depend on a book to see if their work is good or not. Another example was when Mr. Keating made four people walk in a line. They were walking different at first but then they started to become synchronized. Then he says that you shouldn't follow what others do so he told everyone to walk different from the person you see so everyone started to walk funny. He does this to show them that they can follow others and what people do but be different about it.
