See the H20 & Learn

1. I feel that my "water" is Stevenson high school and the college mind set. As we know SHS is known for its state ranked education and prepares you for college/future education. If you were to go to any other high school, sure you'll get a good education and they will prepare you for college/future education.

2. As I stated above, I would go along with the "water" and navigate by graduating from SHS knowing that I am well prepared from courses and classes such as ACT/SAT, Advanced Placements, excel (classes), and getting in the mind frame of "preparing for college and the life ahead of me".When I'm not going along with the "flow" of the "water", I'm taking the "easy way out" and cheating myself. I take the easy courses and don't try to my fullest potential.

3.For me the (American) values that I embrace and value is the power of being and believing in yourself and wanting to be active and work for things (in life) instead of being lazy, and letting events and other people control you. I adjust my values to everyday society by one knowing that I am a strong, down to earth, caring human being who believes that she can do anything she sets her mind to. I feel that now (and in the future) it will get me far in life, because only you know how much you can handle and know when to “quit/stop”. For wanting to be active and work for things (in life) instead of being lazy and letting events and others control you, make me the person I am today. As I listed some of the characteristics that I think describe me above, I’m the type of person who doesn’t give a crap what people think of me. If you love me, you love me and want to be my friend. Yeah there are moments where people can’t stand me and tell me. But if you don’t like me and the personality I have, I really don’t care. Sure, that sounds harsh, but as I stated above I’m the type of person who doesn’t give a crap what people think of me. I feel that later in life, and everyday living, this would help me go far because people are quick to judge. As harsh as this sounds, people have different (American) values that they believe in and it doesn’t make them that better or worse of a person.
