Your life is about choices you make and the route you choice to go down. It can be hard to try to take yourself out the hood or the environment you are in because that may be all you know. But I always told myself I didn't want to be a product of my environment. I always wanted to be different and make something of myself. I could have been a drug dealer a hard head but I choice to listen and I realized that got me way father in life and gave me the life skills I have now. I love to have my own mind it shows that I am independent and strong minded

Falling in love with something that cant love you back that can be crazy . I fell in love with football around the age 8. i knew this was my first love because i cant live without it. this is a sport that could have you go crazy, get injured or even get killed from but i still love it. The hits the passion the emotion the aggressiveness but i love it. I really didn't see my life without football as I grew up but I realized that football ten to get injured and their careers could be cut short at anytime. but I knew that this is what I want and have to be ready to do anything it takes to make as a football player. I had people tell me now there's no way I am going to make it because I am to slow , to fat, not big enough and that most people like myself cant make it .I believe that I can make it if I work hard and put my mind to it I know it want be easy but I will nit give up because this is something I want and its a major goal I am going to reach no matter it might seem to some people.

In 10th grade I learned and read a book call anthem and I learned a lot from that book us as Being yourself can
bring changes that’s the biggest message trying to be portrayed in the book Anthem.
I always knew that people couldn’t tell me what I could do or could not do
especially if I was capable of doing it. Would you even let anyone make all
your choices for you? You could show your independents in many ways. In Anthem
Equality 7-2521 tried to find his individuality. In
the book it say that ”why the best in me had been my sins and transgression”
meaning his creation of the light bud
was wonderful in Equality 7-2521 eyes but in the council eye it was not worth
as much. In this society the council believed that no one could think for
themselves. Equality was brought up thinking if the council did not above of
what you was doing it would be a sin and with him creating the wonderful light
bud he felt like he was worth much more then the council portrayed him to be.

Convict leasing was a system of penal labor practiced in the Southern
United States. This beginning with the emancipation of slaves at the end of the
American Civil War in 1865, peaking around 1880, and officially ending in the last state, Alabama, in 1928. Private prisons have a long history. In the
1880s private correctional organizations created the Convict Lease System,
perhaps the first privatized prison system in America. Convict leasing provided
prisoner labor to private parties, such as plantation owners and corporations
such as the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. The lessee was responsible for feeding,
clothing, and housing the prisoners. I never knew that about convict leasing and it crazy how people was treated back in the day.
