This video was very realistic. It was comparing the life's of two different boys, a rich American boy and a poor Chinese boy. Obviously their life's are very different , it shows both sides. On one side we have the American boy who just bought shoes, he doesn't really know how much work went into them being made. On the other hand we have the Chinese boy who is actually making the shoes. These two boys seem to be the same age, but are living very different life's. This video was like a reality check, to appreciate everything we have.

Education is a big part of your life whether or not you take advantage of it. The
key behind education is motivation. If you are motivated to do something you will you it.
When people believe in you it just makes this difficult experience that much easier. In my
educational experiences there has been many times were I have been underestimated and
it really does put a lot stress to the rest of your life. One of my biggest challenges was the
decsesion of whether or not I was going to continue my education after high school.
Senior year is supposed to be a year full of fun times and no stress. WRONG!
That’s what I had in mind for my senior year but boy was I wrong. This was the year
were I had to make some of my biggest descions that were going to affect the rest of my
life. I had never really thought about life after high school, I was so sheltered and had no
idea of the real world. I had never really thought about what I was going to do, I had no
idea of whether or not I even wanted to go to college. Most of my friends already had an
idea of where they wanted to go and what they wanted to do. I felt so lost.
I finally decided that going to the Santa Rosa Junior College was going to be the
best thing for me. I would be close to home and better off financially. This is when is
started to feel like I wasn’t good enough. My own friends were telling me that the choice
of going to a community college was a bad idea, since I was still going to be living at
home I wasn’t going to get the college experience and that the education wouldn’t be the
same. When they realized that what they were saying was making me feel bad they said
that they thought that if is stayed and went to the J.C. I was just going to get tired and
drop out and work. I felt so bad, my own friends weren’t supporting me I literally felt
alone. I talked to my parents about what was bugging me and it was then and there that I
realized that I needed to stop caring about what they thought and to start thinking about
myself. I knew that this would be better off for me in the long run.

In my personal opinion I believe that students should be able to wear clothes that they want to wear. Of course the clothing has to be appropriate. But for example the video of the student who wasn't able to wear the Obama shirt, I think that was wrong. The shirt did not entail anything bad or disrespectful in any way. The young boy demonstrated other shirts that he had worn before, which had wrestlers and indicated violence. He never had a problem wearing those to school I really don't understand why the Obama shirt would be any different. I think it all comes down to the racism that is still going on in this world. People should just be accepting and be happy that we are going to have change.
