4/24

1. This PSA was very effective. Especially now because I am starting drivers training and I am going to start driving now. Everything in this PSA was crazy and really impacted my look on driving and how serious it is.

This really means a lot to me because my family struggles with drugs and addiction. This really speaks to me.

4/17

1. When it says that it is bad for health not to have a high school diploma I think about how this could make someone very depressed. This could put someone is such a state of mind that is not healthy because now, they can not get a job and they can not get money and money does make a lot of people happy.
2. People who do have a high school diploma have a lot higher self-esteem and they aspire others, children, and people that are struggling to continue getting their diplomas. People that never got their diploma show kids that it is okay not to get one, that is wrong. That shows kids a wrong path to go.
3. More and more kids drop out every year. I know sometimes, or most of the time, this school gets really boring to me. Every day we learn about stuff we don't even need to learn that we won't end up using in the long run. Some teachers are not very good at doing their job. Some I don't think really even know how to teach and that makes it hard for some kids. Another factor when it comes to dropping out is bullying. Some kids drop out because they get bullied everyday and school just is not a safe place for them. Other kids are just stubborn and would rather stay at home and sleep all day, there is no changing their minds.

4/10

1. Grit is the strength of character. We need to have grit to be able to get through things and have the power to do it. When it says the "entitled" child culture I totally agree. These generation kids do not care about anything.
2. This builds that people can plan stuff out and work on it. This is so important because if you want to get a good job and get paid or get an education you have to be able to plan out assignments.
3.  I have some good traits I am good with confidence and kindness. I am very kind and I know how to be nice. I need to work on discipline. I'm not very good at that. Discipline is hard for me because I don't like being told no.
