Rainy Day

So today is Thursday and it is raining and thunder is roaring. I like the rain, but not the thunder. thunder can worry me sometimes. I always wonder how it would feel if someone would have gotten hit by thunder, especially twice in the same place. I would be scared and freaked out. I am cold, but right now I am in class and don't even want to go outside to walk home. Oh man, I forgot that I have practice today. I wonder if we will be outside or in the gym. Or will we have practice at all. I think we will because we have a game on Friday at 7:00pm. I hope we do good because then there will be more tears upon the team mates. I don't want to see it because we try our best and can not win every game. Man football feels good to play. I like it allot.

There are two kinds of people, either they are one who follows or the one who is not a follower. In the story Two Kinds Jing Mie was a follower at one point, but then said to herself that I am not someone who will be bossed and told to be something that I do not want to be. Jing Mie's mother wanted her to become a prodigy that was going to be taken by music. Her mother hear a little girl playing the drums on T.V., she wanted Jing Mie to learn how to play the piano. Her mother was a house keeper that cleaned houses. So she got her into piano lessons with a old guy by the name of Mr. Chong. Mr. Chong was a retired piano teacher. He retired because he was deaf. Her mother payed by cleaning there house. She had lessons every day because her mother wanted her to perform in front of a crowd. The reason why she wanted her to become something was because in China you are not allowed to be known as someone, But in America you are able to be someone. She wanted the best for her daughter. The thing is that Jing Mie didn't think of it that way. She just thought that her mother wanted her be something that she didn't want to be. That brought up past arguments and fighting between one another. It was a horrible thing that Jing Mie said to her mother. After that her mother didn't bother with her. Didn't tell her anything. Later in life she thought to her self that she was a disappointment to her mother. Her mother did a lot for her. Working the the misery of the lost of two babies back in China. To me I think that Jing Mie's mother is correct. She just wanted the best for her daughter.

"Two Kinds" In the Shoes of a Prodigy

If someone was to tell me or push me to become a prodigy I would probably be OK with it at first, but then get frustrated. Maybe even to the point of hurting the person that pushes me to become something I don't want to be. The thing that people would push me to be is a artist. In my opinion I'm not that good of an artist. Things that can occur is yelling, arguing, and even throwing things like paintings. I would probably only yell and argue, none of the throwing paintings. That can hurt really bad, not even joking around. The final outcome of the problem is going to end up in forgiving one another no matter what.

What do I feel about my grade? Well I do some what deserve it, but I try to keep up. I'm just not good in English. English is not my subject as every one knows. I have this grade because I don't do my work. I slack on occasions, but not all the time. I probably try hard more in this class than any other class. My strengths in class is helping people around me and talking, which is bad most of the time. Most of my challenges that I face in class is the computer. I just think that computers have a thing for me. Or I just don't like them. I need to start doing my homework and classwork on time. Not waiting for the last moment. They can help me by studying more and keeping me on task. Even though they can't always be there for me, I need to pick it up and do what I need to do in class. They are not responsible for whether I want tot do my work or not. They are just there for support. Ms. Priester can help me by teaching me more about computers and telling me why computers don't like me. The grade that I hope to have by the end of this quarter is at least a high "C" or a low "B". Well That means that I have to step up to the plate.
