when we had a guest speaker from a school in rockford it really opend my eyes to the different education conditions. considering that it is so close to home.
he told us how his students where "gangster-fabolus" and expressed themselves in this way to be popular. he also talked about how thye really focused on more material possesions like rims and chains. but what shocked me more was that in a decent school the average act was quite low and the number of dropouts and number of people who didnt go on to college was shockingly low.
but it is safe to say that there is nothing really wrong in living in a small town and "surviving" in a tight nit community. but in our school at stevenson we strive on going to college and getting high paying jobs cause that is how we are brought up.
i just think that as long as you are happy with what you are doing you are richer that those who hate waking up everyday
