What is a relationship?

A relationship is defined as " the state of being related or interrelated". This is a definition from merriam webster, but there can be more meaninigs of a relationship. A relaionship can mean a comparison between nouns and objects, there can be a passionable relationship where two people have the desire to be with each other, or there can be a sexual relationship where two adults can have sexual intercorse. My point in this is that there are different types of relationships but if I would have to define relationship by itself I would define it as the definiyion above and also by adding a comparison between something or someone.

Who was your most influential teacher?

My most fluential is all my teachers from k-9 grade. I dont have a favorite teacher because all teachers that teach me always have pushed and woorked hard with me. one thing that teahers tell me is that i have the capability to be a 4.0 student, inever achieved this GPA but plan to. all my teachers expected hard work and focus in there class and with this said I do not have i most fluential teaher. I give all of my following teahers credit, but if the question asked what grade would have the most influential teachers i would have to say ninth!

Do you feel you have grown since the beginning of the year? What are some of the things that caused this to happen? What caused it to not happen?

I think that I have grown and also have not grown. The reason why I think I have grown is because in the beginning of the year a presentation of learning was very challenging to do with being new to the prep community and even the presentation itself, but now a presentation of learning is nothing but a little assignment I have to complete. I also think I have grown because I’m learning more about my peers and the way PEC prep is ran. I think I haven’t grown because I still do the same little disruptions and behavioral issues that should have been got rid of in the beginning of the year, which is being worked with.

Do you believe that the media portrays young black students in a positive light?

I think that the media does not portray young black students in a positive light. I think this because research show that most young black men and woman are not achieving there expectations for life. I also think that the media is just not saying the information they tell the world to make young black adults look bad, it is the black community bringing it on themselves. If we show that we can achieve our goal just like everybody else we wouldn’t have so much negative feed back about our race. The young black students are so thought of as a failure because they choose to decide to underachieve.
