The process I took was the steps on the college prep website. My challenges were finding a topic. I was successful in finding my topic. I liked about this process was how nice and easy the layout was. You knew what you had to get done and when. Some times you can procrastinate. I would have had tighter dead lines.

Quotes

“Let me say that every man should prefer to be considered merciful rather than cruel, yet he should be careful not to mismanage his power for weakness.” Everyone needs to use their strength to show that they are capable but in a good fashion. You should not show weakness, as people will step on you like a cockroach. People should be Governed in a good manner with some force. You need to be nice to the people but you will at times have to put some sort of force out. “Fear hold them fast by a dread of punishment that never passes.” Some times you need to teach people with fear, if you are trying to teach someone something life threatening then they need to pay attention by fear.

Schools

Race to the top, where states compete for $4 billion. Obama announced a goal of hiring 10,000 teachers who work in science, technology, engineering and math. School systems are struggling, and they need help now.
Education is the future of America and Obama wants us to get smarter by possible making the year longer. I think he should go ahead and make it year long but have it so school is 4days a week and it starts at 8:30 ends at 2:25. The race to the top is a new program for states to compete and so that who ever makes the biggest effort will get $4 billion to help improve the educational system of the state.
Obama says "Money alone cannot solve US school problems" this is true the parents and teacher need to get together and help each other to make sure that the kid is paying attention and doing there homework. If the kid doesn't not make the effort to try then he or she will not pass school. School is not that hard as long as you try and pay attention you will do good, by dropping out of school you end up hurting yourself in the long run because with out education you will not get a high paying job.
Recently Iowa held event to allow students that dropped out get back in school so they could get better paying jobs and to help them be more educated. I think that Iowa is doing a great job at trying to reform the educational system.

Photo's

Many people know that I have been taking photo's at the football games and I soon will be taking them for basketball and college wrestling. I also have been sending in photos to WHO Tv on channel 13.1, during the weather just look for Grant Foster. It would be sweet if sometime in the near future I could get paid to take photos for the news or some sort of paper.

Ethan Frome

Ethan is a brave man when he decided to have Zeena stay and live with him then get married after she had helped Ethan’s mother when she was in dire need of assistance. Zeena just came to live with Ethan because his mother was sick so she could help take care of her. Ethan showed his nobility by marring her because the proper thing to do was to help marry her. “After the funeral, when he saw her preparing to go away, he was seized with an unreasoning dread of being left alone on the farm; and before he knew what he was doing he had asked her to stay there with him.” This shows how Ethan was a brave man even though he looks bad in the book. Ethan should be given more credit for what he tried to do to help. Even if he did some bad things he still tried to fix his mistakes.
