Do people change after something BAD Happened?

Some say “People only change when something bad happens.” I don’t believe that. I have had bad things happened to me and at times I wouldn’t change. I have also seen people go back to doing the same things they were doing after something bad happened to them. It is just that teens now days or even grown ups don’t learn right from their mistakes and they feel they can’t stop doing the things they do because it is a habit. For example, when we were at the assembly last week, we saw a video of teens that were in shock trauma after drinking and driving. These kids looked horrible in the movie and there was this one kid that had been drinking and driving a four wheeler and after he got better, he went back to riding four wheelers and drinking. Now of course he didn’t change not even because of what he went through. Now you see my point, if you don’t want to change something or change yourself you wont do it not even if the worse came to last.

U.S. get involved in other Countries AFFAIRS?

I think they should not get in other countries affairs. I feel this way because it makes the U.S. lokk like they caused all the wars and fight just to gain more power. like for example how the Cuban fight led to something else was wrong and it was all the U.S just to gain that part of the worls Cuba. Another example would be the WW1 . This was cause of the U.S. trying to gain over parts that didn't belong to them and causing it to go all wrong just because they wanted to be on the top of other territories. I feel like the U.S. no should stay out of other countries affairs.

UNIT 6-- Assingment 1

NO, it is not okay to get involved into other people's business. I feel like it is not okay because, people need privacy and secret to themselves. I will admit that I have got into people’s business, but not for the wrong reasons. I’m not saying there are right ways, but what I meant was that it was for good intensions. There was a time that my friend was dating this older guy, and of course she was blind and didn’t see the reason in why he wanted to be with her. I had heard him talking to friend, and what he said to her was the same exactly thing that was on my mind. He told his friend he just wanted to sleep with my friend and then leave her. I ended up telling her but she didn’t want to believe me. She got pregnant after a few weeks and guesses what; he left to and went on to another girl. Now I know people need to mind their own business at all times and if you know something they don’t, let them find out on their own.

The Richest Person

Bill Gates as I heard of is the richest man in our country. I feel like I should envy him for it, but i dont. I mean at times I think, why can't I have all that money instead of him. Bur, that is only when I don't have money. When I have money I don't envy him or anybody else because I know that I work hard for what I have and earn so that makes me feel good about myself. I feel like he also did earn that money himself because the way he got rich in the first place was how he created the microsoft software. So doesn't that count as if he did the works himself. I think so. In the stories I have heard before were that he does help people and doesn't keep the money to himself. So that is a good thing, at least he is not stingy! I rather have him share the money with the poor and sick then with ordinary wealthy people.

Assingment #1 Unit 4

A while ago I was involved in a fight with a girl who once was my friend. The fight was caused honestly by me, and for my own reasons. No guy problem, no family problem, but because she was just getting me mad. I did try to avoid this fight, but she just kept running her mouth that I just got to the point that led us to fight. The outcome of this event was that her parents pressed charges on me and I ended up with probation for one year. Not only that but the fight cause us to hate each other more that everything I see her I want to say something. I learned that it is not worth fighting someone that no matter how bad they get beat up they will always run their mouths.
