Free Choice ( Being Contagious )

Being sick is just HORRIBLEE , I HATEEEEE being sick , I can't sleep , I keep coughing and every time I cough my heart hurts, When I sneeze my head hearts , I can't breathe through my nose because it stuffy so I have to breathe through my mouth. I can not taste my food ,I'm just eating because I am hungry. I was in the hospital for two days when I really wanted to be in school, the hospital was fun though , I had many visitors and I watched tv and of course I asked questions. I just wish I can stop being sick and just become normal again because I am not liking this at all.I have lost my voice in like two weeks I still haven't got it back some people actually thinks this is my real voice. I took so many pills and I have been drinking NyQuil which only makes me sleep more but hopefully I get better soon.

Making A Decision (Free Choice )

This has been a very very very long road but its all finally over. It was extremely hard for me to pick a decision on where to go to school , but I finally picked Buffalo State College. I was debating between SUNY Plattsburgh and Buffalo State , they are both great schools. SUNY Plattsburgh was a very beautiful school the campus is beautiful , the classes are nice, the people seem nice,it was extremely far 6 hours away, the EOP admission director who interviewed me was very persuasive, calm , caring , and educated which is what made the school so attracted to me. SUNY Plattsburgh is a wonderful school who also gave me a great package however Buffalo State College just had better options for me, activities, and they were more a Biology major school. As an EOP student I was able to afford the deposit and I have other priorities I am required to do that is mandatory such as attending the Summer Institute. I am so happy that everything is over with college process and I am relieved and I am excited to attend Buffalo State College. I am looking foward to making new friends , passing ALL my classes with a high grade so I can get a 4.0 average by the end of the semester , I want to be on the Deans List , and I want to join a sorority. I want to become successful and enjoy the college experience.

CRR ( Traditions )

When reading Taming Of  the Shrew I connected to many things. There were many actions and traditions that are similar to the culture in Africa. As a girl , women, young lady , or teenager , all women are treated equal and are dependable towards cooking , raising the family , and most importantly respecting their husbands. Which is quite similar to the culture in Taming Of The Shrew where Bianca fit perfect into women's role in society. Another thing I can relate to is how Katherine was forced to marry Petruchio even without her approval , in Africa young teenagers are often forced to marry at a young age either to protect the family , or to not deny it because of the respect they have for their father that they cannot say no to embarrass him.The way Katherine became at the end , when she was tamed reminds me of how the young girls that are forced to getting married become while their in their marriage , its more like a dictatorship rather than a companionship.

The Taming Of the Shrew (CRR)

The taming of the shrew is a good book that defines how do society and culture defines a person. We all know the main characters Katherine, Bianca , Baptista , Lucentio and Petruchio are the main focus in this book. In this book we observed and visualized the different roles of woman in society. Women are nothing without men , women are suppose to stay home and take care of the kids, be soft spoken , and uneducated. However Katherine was a woman that went against all these stereotypes and started to believe that she can be anything she wants , say what she wants , how she wants, and where ever she wants. Bianca is the woman who "fits" in society because she goes by the rules society is told them to. During the Socratic seminar I was comparing then and now , the future,past and the present. I concluded during the seminar , that history really reflects on the future today , I believe that no matter how successful women become in society they will always be below men just because that's how it used to be. I do believe there is a difference between gender and sex but there are also a limitations that classify why woman aren't that successful in that certain type of area. I believe men and women will always be compared to each other its just a natural thing to do , its is like the test to show if we are strong enough to prove our point or not. Living in this kind of society encourages me to do best so that I can prove something to improve hope on women being successful.
