Response post-angelica

since i was a bit confused on how to post the responses last week im going to do both on this post.


well so far im finding the class really interesting. The reading and discussion that we had last week on the Douglass reading really made me think about a few things. The reading made me think about my parents. Actually most of the topics that are brought up in class make me think about my parents. I agree that the motivation is something that is lacking with the kids in schools. It feels like the more access we have the less motivated we are. My parents were never able to receive any type of education. This is why education is so important in my family. My father always mentions that we are really lucky for having an opportunity to go to school. So whenever i start feeling like i want to give up i think about my parents. This brings me to the article that we read last week. The "literary myth" is something that my parents strongly believe in. My father believes that with education we get succees in life. But sometimes this isnt true. Once someone has achieved education there are other obstacles that may keep us from succees.

The autobiographies that my blog members are writing are really interesting. They offer me different perspective towards education through their experiences.
After reading your auto-response for this week susan i must say that i look up to you! : )
