America the Good Ole Way

Three key issues in America in the past year are 2012 presidential election, gun control, and Greek life hazing. Links for my issues will be posted at the bottom of the post. I chose the 2012 presidential election because this was really the first election that I was educated in and old enough to understand what was going on, and even though I couldn’t vote I still pulled and hoped Mitt won. I think the election is still important because I think there are people out there still divested on Mitt losing the election. 

People might go against me and be for Obama and that’s okay it’s their opinion I don’t agree on it but I respect it. Gun control was another issue I chose, I chose gun control because I am pro-gun. It is a strong topic today because the government is trying to take away are guns. I think there are people who don’t want guns because they cause violence. I also disagree with that. The last issue I chose was Greek life hazing in America. Greek life has been popping up more and more in the news lately for hazing. I think hazing is just a process so suck it up and do it, can’t handle it then you don’t deserve to be in the fraternity anyway. Some people might say it hurts people but those people are probably independents.

                                                First Week at JC

                   My first week of John Carroll was overwhelming. I really didn’t know what to except, I mean I knew from what I shadow and everything but I really didn’t know for myself. I just introduced to a whole new school new kids and new teachers. I was having a hard time trying to understand my schedule and figure out the bell schedule and I still don’t understand it. It was just confusing because its different then what I am used to but, I guess that comes with almost every freshman student all over America goes through probably high school is just a whole new different ball game.

The teachers are different I am not used to having anyone like Mr. Perry, I actually don’t mind all the yelling and everything because it reminds me of football and I love football. That’s another good thing I had for me was that I have been playing football for John Carroll and I have been working out with them and everything. That I meet all the boys on the football team so maybe I do not know all of the freshman but I know upper class men so I can ask them questions and sit with them at lunch. Being a football player is really helping out but in some cases it is horrible because I usually do not get home till around seven or six forty five so I have to get home do my homework and eat so it is a lot to do for a new school.

I am not going to let everything stress me out I am going to just sit back do my work and do what I need to do. I am actually usually stress free and usually pretty chill so I just need to be chill and everything will be fine.                                                                                               

                                                                             

             

   All Me Not You

                   I play football, lacrosse, and golf. Golf is my game I'm long off the tee but can't putt for my life. I'm from Bel Air. I went to Trinity Lutheran for middle school. My favorite book is Total Frat Move. My favorite movie is Animal House. My favorite artist is really a tie between Dave Matthews, John Mayer, and Toby Keith. 

                 Three goals I have for the future are not that high I mean they are actually pretty realistic for English I would like to learn just how find the meaning to letters and notes that don't have a actual subject but they have bunch of different meanings throughout but they are hidden. My goal for freshman year is to hopefully make varsity lacrosse as a freshman I would really like to someday play college football. My personal goal is to actually join a fraternity one day. I feel like that if I could join one I would have it really going for me in life.
