It’s here, it’s really here....
graduation day....
its time to say good-bye to the ones we love,
to the ones who made the journey with,
and
for those who didn't make it we say till we meet again?
Graduation day
we say our last good-bye
we say good-bye to our childhood.
because as we walk down that stage we become one, we leave the chillness in us behind and become adults.
As we say good-bye
some will laugh,
some may cry,
others may leave, to never look back,
because this is it,
there will be no turning back,
this isn't a game playing pretend.
with all those times we have spent together,
all the years,
all the laughs,
all the moments,
and the tears,
I never thought I'd be saying my last good-bye to all my friends...
those friends I never thought I'd be friends with...
we went all this time,
all these years,
we've been through so much,
that I cannot imagine saying good-bye to friends like you,
this graduation day we will forget the fights,
the mean words we once said and the swears we never meant..
its time to remember the dreams that never came and remember that you are your own dream....
its time to forget what never was and what was real,
as we walk down the hall,
remembering
the classes,
the lunchroom,
the teachers,
the friends who have passed on....(Patrick Young R.I.P.)
as we go on always remember all the good time,
and as our lives go on always now we'll be friends forever

The author Barbara Ehrenreich wonders if single mothers, whom depend solely on what they can make at low-wage jobs, will be able to survive financially. The first city she stopped in was Key West, Barbara works at two different restaurants and as a house keeper in a hotel. She lives in an efficiency apartment and  a trailer park. In the Key West, Barbara first learns that there are hidden costs to being poor. She said that if you cannot afford the security deposit for an apartment, you are forced to live in a hotel or a small efficiency. If you have no health insurance, you end up with significant and costly health problems. On some of the rough days Barbara walks off the job and never returns. Barbara then moves to Maine because of the virtually all-white low-wage workforce. There she lives in a cottage and works for a cleaning service during the week and at a nursing home on the weekends. An important thing that Barbara learns in Maine is that there is little assistance for the working poor. She tries to get some sort of assistance and encounters rude people who are willing to do little for her.  The last place Barbara moves to is Minnesota. There she gets a job at the local Wal-Mart. In Minnesota, Barbara has the most difficult time finding housing. She then moves into a hotel, which is way too expensive for her. Barbara then comes close to organizing a union at Wal-Mart, but leaves before anything happens.

  The theme of this book is to show how single mother can live financially on low waged jobs in America and how difficult it is to survive. Barbara shows us how difficult it is and what she has to go through in order to live. One literary element that is very critical is the setting of the book. Barbara lives in three different cities in America to show how difficult it is to live on low waged jobs and how to just get by. In this book there are a lot of strengths and weaknesses. One strength of this writer is that she had a lot of courage to go out to three different cities and get low waged jobs and try and survive. I would recommend this to any American who is going through similar problems and to show them that they are not alone. The weakness though of this she finds out really fast that she can’t afford certain things and that life gets really tough. Sometimes with low waged jobs people can’t afford health insurance, they can’t stay healthy. A lot of people can’t afford groceries. Working a low waged job as Barbara describes is really tough and can be complicated at times. I feel every part of this is true I have a low waged job and am going through some of the same difficulties as Barbara is. Life definitely sucks and this book is an amazing example on how we as a society and most of what we used to be called middle class are not anymore. Most of us don’t want to classify ourselves as poor, but you really have to think about it we aren’t rich! And we are not middle anymore with the amount of unemployment around Cortland County there is a lot of lower middle class. This problem needs to be fixed and our god damn president is not doing shit. We need someone who will turn this pissing country into a whole again. As the saying goes money talks and bullshit walks. This is true! Why there are no jobs like Obama said there would be he says we are getting better? Really? Well I think 80 percent of us Americans will tell you different. We are all sick and tired of the lying garbage that he is feeding us. They are worried about other countries, but what the hell you can’t help your own country. To be honest I’m done writing I feel this country will end soon and that if our president don’t get his head out of his ass we will once be at war again it will happen.

Outside reading final!!!

Tuesday morninggg

well its a Tuesday morning and im sitting here in my AIS class, working hard trying to get things done. my outside reading is coming along ,still have alot to do within the next week.  ive been typing for the last 45 min getting papers done and fixing papers for my classes that they are due in. i cant believe that the end of the year is almost here and that soon we will be graduating class of 2012! i sit here happy but nerveous for the real world out there. i truthfully wont miss this homework crap, but will miss some of the people and teachers here. well its time for english .

As i walk the halls today of this school i can hear a pin drop, we are all remembering our fellow classmate,friend and family, Patrick Young, our prayers and thoughts are with the family and friends of this young man. we as a community need to come together and think of the good days we have all had with Pat. The bullshit drama on Facebook needs to stop and people thinking it was all bullying, this young man has had a rough life and for people to be starting shit is ridiculous.If anyone needs to talk about anything we have people around, im also available, i know some peole look up to me, ive done a complete 360 in this school from what i used to be. Forever and Always Patrick Young you will be missed <3 One love Brother

moviess???

So on Friday night, i went to Family video and rented three movies, one in particular was called First Time Felon. that movie i can say was pretty good, its where a gangster gets busted selling heroine, its his first time offense, maximum sentence of 5 years in prison, but being a first time felon, the judge gave him the opportunity to go to a boot camp. The gangster goes to the boot camp, at first he doesnt really like it but, he changes throughout the boot camp and becomes a different man, when he did his 120 days there he graduated from the boot camp. with an award for being good and changing. he gets back out on the street and all his so called buddies  want him to go back to hustling, but he wanted to get a real job he searched for 6 months couldnt find a job, remind you hes from the poor side of town he watched a lot of people get killed. he finally succeeded in getting a job as a juvenile guideance counselor.
