This week I think was the most interesting week in English class. The reason being is because it is truly a lot of fun and the books or short stories that we read aren't boring. I had a real problem staying focused in English class because the topic and such were so vague that it would never catch my attention. Just of yesterday we read a story called "Superman and Me". The story was quite interesting. It talked about a boy who pretty much wanted to break the stereo type that was labeled upon his people. He wanted to be one of a few people in his culture that pushed himself towards intelligence and in my eyes he succeeded. That story really caught my eye because that is kind of similar to my life. I say this because a lot of the people in my family went to jail, drop out of school, or is just not living a wealthy lifestyle. It got to the point where the adults in my family started to have hatred towards me in a low key manner because I was one of the only children in the family that wasn't messing up or doing bad things. Eventually people in my family started wanting me to fail or be just like there kids. I have the chance to be the first person in my family to go to college and graduate and that's huge motivation for me. I truly want to make my family proud and break this chain of evil which has practically destroyed my family and has caused my family to be very distant from each other. I for one don't appreciate because I feel like the people who call themselves my aunts and uncles should be trying to encourage me instead of putting me down or coming to as if they want me to do good but in the back of there mind they really want me to fail. I just think it is sad and unfortunately it will not change anytime soon. But regardless of the negative feedback that I get from my so called family members I will still do everything  I can to see that my end of the bargain is kept and that my promise to my grandfather is kept.
