money
The importance of a scholarship is so that u can get money to go to school so it doesn't cost so much. there are many different types of scholarships so that everyone can get one for there own talent. it will also help for all the college loans that you will have to take out so that u can afford to go to that college of your choice. the application is pretty essay to fill out so you should go sign up for as many as you can so you have more money for college.

i think that the us is way more relaxed on the school system then the other countries are like russia the Russia school system way different than the us system because of they way the classes are separated out like in the us the 1-6 graders are all elementary and the the 7-8 are junior high and then the 9-12 are high school. in Russia education for kindergarten is optional for 3 to 5 year old's. Russia also has primary school that starts around 6 or 7 years old and last four years so when there done with that they will be 9 years old. and then once they turn 10 they will go to basic education that will last 5 years then after that 5 years is over their knowledge will determine where they go after that.
There is a lot of things i have to do before i go off to college like 1. i have to take the sat and act for the first time. 2. i also have to write the essays for the colleges so i can apply for them. 3. i have to get in recommendations from the colleges. 4. i also have to find out what colleges i want to actually go to like if i want to go to an actual university or just a community college. I think i am actually ready to go off to a community college right now then a university because a community college is kinda easier than a university and i just don think i could handle an actual university yet because i barely do my work in high school now.

Is college really worth it?
I don't feel like a college degree is necessary to become successful in life. Nowadays in college it is less about learning actual skills and more about paying to have a degree. Student loans are higher now more than ever before. Three very important men in today's society dropped out in college. the fist one is Mark Zuckerburg. He is the chairman and CEO of Facebook and he is worth 35.1 million. The second one is Bill Gates. He is the Technology Adviser of Microsoft and is worth 78.5 billion. The last one is Steve Jobs. He is the co founder, chairman and CEO of Apple Inc. and he is worth 10.2 billion. These men are a prime example that you don't have to go to college to become successful in life.

1. My grandpa, Mike McCoy, would be the most influential leader I have ever known. I want to grow up and be just like him. He went into the Marines. He served at Camp Pendleton. After that he went onto working in the undercover narcotics, then to the Sheriffs office. Now he works as a detective for Early Police Department.
2. I feel like this means that all anyone wants is to be loved and to have someone to love. Yes I agree. I feel like we humans use poetry as our dream world. Its where we can fantasize about different things.
3. Yes, I agree many people view things differently from other people. We look at things in different ways to find what will work best. The most recent thing that I had to look at differently would be this class. I felt like I didn't need it because i am going to the Marines. However, I also need to take it to prepare me just in case I change my mind.
4. The verse that would best describe me is a friend till the end. i always try to help anyone who is need. I hope that my lasting impression was that I was a great friend to all and an enemy to none.

Thursday Blog Questions
Thursday Bolg Questions
1. I don't think he would have killed himself as soon as he did; having said that, I don't think that it was Keating's fault. All Keating did was encourage him to be who he wanted to be. I feel like his father played the biggest role in him killing himself.
2. I feel like Todd was the bravest boy in Keating's class. This is because he stood up in front of Nolan for his belief that Keating was not to blame for what happened. He also rallied the boys to stand on top of their desks and cheer for Keating. I feel like Cameron was the coward of the movie. He went and told Nolan that it was Keatings fault for what happened. He did this to save his own butt.
3. I think Keating put the book in Neil's room. I feel like he did so because he secretly wanted them to start the Dead Poets Society up again.
