 Right now I feel as if education is important in my life.Getting a diploma is what really matters and will help me in the future.It will allow me to have better job opprotunities than getting a job without one.I do think students around the world do value their education depending on their grade.Students who are the same age as me or a year younger do seem more focused than the lower 2 grade levels.The younger generation do not seem to feel that school is important.It may be because they have not reached that age yet where they value the bigger things in life. Education should be important to all no matter the circumstances.

 After watching the presentations I find the Italians Americans group the most interesting.The presentation clearly explained how they were seen as being in gangs and how it affected Italians portrayal to the world.The presentation changed my understanding of that culture by seeing that are more stereotypes made about other culture than we think.It also changed my mind on film makers because it was written with personal thoughts.It made me realize their could be someone sharing their thoughts or personal expirence. Something I enjoyed seeing was the key scene which showed how the young boys were affected with witnessing harsh experiences in front of their eyes.The second key scene was also interesting because of how on friend wanted to fight for the boys riding on bikes.The scenes were interesting making it grab most people's attention.

 In my personal opinion I think the financial benefits and stability it can provide plays a greater role in shaping your future.This can impact your overall life by giving you better motivation not just for your family but for yourself as well.It will give you a better sense of life with feeling relieved from any problems you may have.This can also help you manage your money and happiness better than you usually would keeping you stable for a better life in the future.Your financial benefits should be most prioritized since it is what will affect you if you end struggling with money.Without your financial benefits you would not be able to enjoy your passion of doing anything you want to do.Your happiness gets affected by stressing over financial problems which could later lead to worse problems.Your feelings could end up overtaking you and makes it hard for you to get back on track again.Keeping your eyes only on your passion can keep you distracted from what you need to do to work...

 I would say my style varies from anything making it all over the place.Some days I like to dress comfortable,girly or tomboy making my style appear to be anything.People appear to have a set girly style on me and that I will always dress like that but most of the time it is something comfortable.The only way I get a response is only getting certain looks like looking up and down quickly.This reveals that our society does not have much of an open mind on genders.Some people forget that there is a variety of style so why would we just stick to one?I say there has been too many stereotypes made to keep them going on for so long.A better way to think about is is by knowing not every girl has to wear a dress and not every boy has to dress casual.Stereotypes is what sometimes gets in the way when wanting to express ourselves.It'll hold us back from wearing something just because of someone else's opinion.

 The most exciting thing about graduation is finally having the weight of school of my shoulders.This will make me feel reviled since I feel like many of us struggle with keeping up with work and balancing a job as well.After many years of school I feel sad yet glad it has finally came to an end.After graduation I am looking forward to my independence.With having school out the way I will have to more time for a job and build up money throughout the year.I will be able to balance out a better schedule and have time for my own.School keeps me caught up in my work and rushing to finish assignments since there isn't much time after school.This will also help me mentally that way I feel as if there's nothing stopping me from working.

 A film that I can connect my culture with is the Disney movie "Coco".This movie shows the Hispanic culture very detailed.They make sure to show meals and small traditions that mostly every hispanic family does.Seeing this was like looking at my reflection because of all the things that the movie had in common with me.The movie reminded me of meals my grandma would make for us when she had the chance.the only difference between the movie and I is that my grandma never really stopped us from doing anything.There was not anything that would hold her back and allowed me and my cousins to be our true selves.
