Mix Tape

These are the songs that i picked for my mix tape:

1. Gangsta's Paradise - because it is the total opposite of what my neighborhood is
2. Thugz Mansion - there is a mansion in my neighborhood that a person who won the lotto bought
3. Welcome to the Jungle - i have alot of trees in my neighborhood
4. Changes - alot of people move in and out of my neighborhood
5. Why Can't We Be Friends - because everyone moves in and out, we don't know alot of people
6. That's Life - everyone in my neighborhood is very relaxed and chill

Profile

I was looking on the comp 106 blog and i found the story of Bill Goodman very interesting. I am also trying to become a lawyer and his story i could relate to and found very interesting. The story provided good details of what he has done and is currently doing.

Class Discussion

The one line from my own writing that "sang" out to me was, "why do we stall." I was questioning the quote that i had written down. I liked the free writing session that we had that day because it just got me to think about certain things and made me forget all the things that i had going on that day. Also, the subject we were writing about really made you slow down and think about it and see how it related to you. It was also appropriate for the time being winter and all which also influenced how good the session was.

Paper

For my paper, i will be interviewing one of my old high school teachers who is the student activities director at Churchill High School. While at school, i saw that he knew everyone and had connections to many different things. I have not yet conducted the interview yet because i went away on a work trip this weekend. I was valeting at a pro tennis tournament up in Midland, Michigan.
