           With teacher's day there should be student's day, if there isn't already. With the overwhelming pressure from work students deserve a holiday. A day off, students day is a day where students take a day off class. A day where they can have relief.

        The best advice I have ever received would be "stay true to yourself". It's a strong trait which only a handful of people live by nowadays. People can easily be manipulated and fall into peer pressure. If its not you or if you don't feel comfortable with a situation don't do it for others. Don't follow others to be cool, and only influence yourself. Have positive role models to look up on, people who make positive contributions to the world. I always see good people fall into the wrong hands and its unfortunate to watch. Stay true to yourself, like I am and I believe things will come good. That's the best advice I have ever received.

        I wish that universities would ask their prospective student more about their lives and not just solely on their scholastic abilities. For instance universities could possibly ask that if there has been a time in your personal life where you have been at your worst? and if so. how did you manage to surpass that struggle? By asking a question in this type of nature, the universities would get a true sense of our deep and real personalities. They would have a sense of how we deal with struggles and issues. They would see how every student does have struggles but can yet overcome their personal issues.

         The opening scene would be from any typical rebellious teenage movie. Music would be playing and it would be one of my favorite punk bands. It would be "God save the queen", while i'm in my bed dead asleep. The alarm would go off and I would simply ignore it. Mumbling to my self, I curse and say no way.  The nagging mother walks, so I rise and stare down my digital watch with a passion. I'm thirty minutes late, I rush and get dressed. No time for a shower , I grab a piece of toast and consume it down the stairs as I grab my board. I skitch on the first car I see. Up the hill. up to school, avoiding traffic I let go with the driver staring me down. I dash through the open gate, through the main office with every staff member looking in the most awkward way manner. Rushing to get to class, the music stops as I open the class door.

Dear Future roommate,

         Well what can I say, there's not so much to me really. I'm not this outgoing amazing fellow, but I enjoy what I can do. I can be hardworking when procrastination doesn't get the best of me. I'm very neat, organized so I won't really get in the way. I'm not very picky, but if something bothers me I won't hesitate to speak my mind. helping when I can is one my specialties so don't hesitate to ask. I come from a simple background. One mother and one brother. I'm very independent as I have always been on my own. I enjoy playing the guitar and i'm obsessed with it. I have a broad taste in music and am open to most new ideas. Can't wait to meet you in a few years. See you soon.

              future roommate,

                 Mark

         To me the quote states how someone can easily be corrupted by wealth. "The rags to riches" story can change everyone. It can lead to person selling out his beliefs or their friends and family. Money, wealth is the most manipulative force out there. People will do anything for wealth. Murder, drugs, prostitution, its unimaginable what people will risk. When you have wealth, I imagen, you feel as if you have power over others. The ability to have what ever you desire leads to corruption. It happens to superstars, rock stars and athletes and we see it on the new everyday. On the media, rock star found dead at hotel or a basketball player getting coaught with a prostitute. Someone who has wealth, I believe  it should be shared with others. I strongly believe in charities, funds, scholarships ,etc. wealth is a blessing that should require you to share with others.
