                      As I look around I see many different things. I see people studying talk about school. That’s students that are trying to get better in class in stay on top of their classes. I see pretty girls walking to class, that’s something new for me because I went to an all boy school before I got to University Nebraska Lincoln, so that’s pretty good. I see teachers in class working hard to give students the best education possible.
             While I was in the shower last night I was thinking to myself could I really sing or is it just this shower making me sound so good. In the shower I come up with all type of ides that go away as soon as I dry myself of. I think about my career as an football player, like will I ever get to show the world my talent as an NFL player. But the one thing I hate thinking about in the shower is my best-friend that is in prison over something he did that made his life harder then it should be, that’s when I start to turn the water off and step out the shower.
        As a freshmen in high school I always had a love for science class. That was my favorite subject of them all, for all four years in high-school. Maybe it was because I had the best science teachers a guy could ask for or maybe it was the cool projects we did in class, like cutting open frogs or looking at human brains. I had the greatest science teacher his name was Mr.Vigee, he always had something great set up for class almost everyday. That was my 9th grade science teacher so I guess that’s what made me fall in love with science.
        I cant remember a moment me and my mother didn’t have argument about something. My mother and I argue about the simplest things. Like why didn’t I make my bed before I go to school in the morning. This might sound crazy but my mother will argue with me about football like she’s a coach. If my mother is right about something then she’s right, but if my mother is wrong about something then she’s still right.
          On a daily base I tend to think about my father and how his doing. My father went to jail when I was in the 4th grade. I know his always thinking about me and my two sisters. We don’t talk as much as we should and I know that makes him feel like his not wanted in my life. But sometimes I would call him on any giving day and time just to tell him I love him and that I miss him, sometimes that’s just a little bit of motivation so he could stay strong .
          Looking back on my community, and where I come from is like a bucket that a lot of people are stepping on one another trying to get out of. Most people don’t make it to the age of 18, but don’t get me wrong I love my city of  New Orleans Is a beautiful place to visit. The greatest building in New Orleans is the Super Dome, where the saints play. The big question that every person from New Orleans would like to know is when will all the killing stop. In this week alone their was at least 4 people I knew from growing up that was murder by gun violence in they all was in the age range of 16-25. The answer to that question is NEVER!






                In class today we had to come up with some critical questions related to the readings the night before, so some one came up with a great question that I liked and it was ‘’Would the world be different if we didn’t have Social Media?’’. The reason I choose that question is because I always wonder how people would think of the world with out a phone in your hand. I would always hear story’s that older people would tell me about how researching information was the hardest part about doing work, now the days we live in what every we need is in a touch of a button.
        I picked this question because it is a big reminder of how I’am with my phone, I could be on my phone at night searching the web and the next thing I know it’s almost time to go to class or practice and I haven’t gotten any sleep because im a prisoner of my phone. I do everything with my phone, it makes life feel easy sometimes. But cell phones are not all bad, I remember when I was younger my mom got me a cell phone just so I can keep in touch and let her know where I’am so that she wouldn’t be worried about me through out the day.
      When you have a social media its easier for you to get in all kinds of trouble you wouldn’t think that you would get in trouble for. For a athlete like me social media is trouble waiting to happen if your not careful with the things you post. You could post something that can get you kicked out of college, when you think the posted is not that serious. That’s why its best to just stay off of twitter, instagram and facebook.

        My question fit with all three of the projects because if all has to deal with critical question which Im doing right now.  Critical questions could be any thing, and that’s what we be dealing with the rest of the five weeks in class. I have a couple of question about the my question, like do I have to keep the same question for the five weeks? How can I continue to write about the same thing over and over with out going over the same stuff? Will you start changing the way you want us to answer the question so that my question wouldn’t get boring because I like my question and think it could last me until the end of the 5 weeks if Ms.Green change the concepts. Only concern I have is should we spend more time on my memo?

  1. You have some great turns of phrase in here,! I love the line "it's like a that a lot of people are stepping on one another trying to get out of." Great metaphorical language. I also loved your commentary on your mom always being right; it made me laugh out loud!
