College

As a participant in the UW Madison college program I was in my writing class and the teacher asked us a question that I really questioned and had strong beliefs in. He asked, why do you belong at this University? Also how do we as women feel about people saying we don’t belong and that this college was only made for white males?
I know for a fact that I deserve to be here for starters I am a high school student that has good grades during the school year at Bradley Tech. I’m a all around athlete at school and also apart of student government for special events, I also volunteer at YMCAs, Day Camps, Group Homes, and with the elderly. I was also apart of another college program when I was in the sixth grade and it went threw 8th grade at Whitewater University, I belong in this college because I am hard working and determined to improve in anything that I can to accomplish my goals in my future college life. By going to this college I feel that it will further my communication and lawyer skills will expand and become more correct and fluent. Secondly I am a teenage girl that gives up most of her summer to come to Madison and learn more and extent my knowledge. I know that’s a big sacrifice but I take pride in myself and knowing that in capable of being great. My opinion is that it as brutal and painful as rape, because someone can take advantage of your education and it can even be you that does it to yourself. For example if you play around at school and not take things serious like learning people will pass you up, then when you get out here in the big would you will get kicked and pushed around because of your low education skills. That would also be something you will never for get because it will hurts to feel uneducated and it will in a mind frame of a dark place and that your not smart enough to be anything in life. I Jhazmne Borum refuse to let someone take the precious gift of pride and being able to learn from me, I control all of that and will take full advantage of learning t better myself. If you were to ask another teenage person do they want to go to school in the summer they would look the other way and say in to young tom be worrying that I have sometime.
The other question that I really don’t think is right that females didn’t have a place in Madison or in school at all because it was made for white men. For the start men are not smarter than all women my opinion is that women in some cases are smarter than men, but there are some very smart men. Also and this is a fact that since women have been in school there’s a higher graduation in the women category then men. Also why shouldn’t females have a fair chance like men do, to my knowledge the Declaration of Independences it says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” That indicates that we all are entitled to have a fair chance among all human beings.
In conclusion, I plan to enroll in this college to bring positive energy and education skills that will benefit my future and me as well my school. This college would be a big benefit in my life because I think that it will push me into being the best even better.

I Believe.

Being a young teenage girl in High School, I believe there comes many different difficult choices to make. There is also peer pressure and boys the will tell you anything just to be with and you have to learn to avoid. My name is Jenna James, I attend Whitewater High School in Wisconsin. I am an all around spirit girl, I play softball, volleyball, I’m a cheerleader, and on the honor role, I’m the special events president at my school and in a good friend. Being that was hard when you’re a sophomore because you start to find out about who your friends are and who you are as a person. You also know how high your standers are, what you look for in a guy, and how to know game when it’s getting ran at you.
It’s the beginning of sophomore year, my friend Jennifer was at her new locker waiting quietly for use to come. Keep in mind the Jennifer, she’s the smooth and calm one the only acts herself when she with us. Then came Amanda she was the one that was really sporty and was very mean and outspoken, but was a very great person if you were cool with her. She went straight to Jennifer’s locker and gave her a big hug. As they stood there the started to have a conversation about the upcoming year, then as loud as can be there came Amy screaming and running to both of the. Amy she the loud popular blonde that very pretty and has lots of girls the just doesn’t like her but the boys just love her. She’s also one of the most smart in her class and to top if off she’s a cheerleader. Then there’s Carmen, she’s also a cheerleader, but she president of the student government and she very smart and one the is top in her class as well. Then there’s me in just loved by all and very popular everywhere but most of the time called stuck up, but everyone loves me.
We all met at that locker and got into a conversation about the hot new guys and the all were basketball and football players. OMG Jenna did you see the new boy? Yeah I have 3d hour with one of them! Which one? His name is Corey he’s hot and did you hear about his friend Josh? Yeah I want to get with him. No hers so excreted! Why because her talks to like 5 girls and just sleeps with them all. Man Jenna I don’t think that’s true, because if you notice that all the girls he talks to they sleep with everybody. Ok you have a point Jennifer but I think he does that to everybody. Well I don’t think hell do the to ill or me truck him in the game. Hahahaha your silly, what class do you guys have next? Science and we have that class together . . . so after a few weeks of class they started gong together. Jennifer was in love with him and all the time he was telling her that she was his only one but all of us knew the truth, and when we tried to tell her she just go mad at us. One day they we all went to the mall and josh were at practice. As we went to the movies in the mall we saw him with a different girl in the movies kissing and hugging on her. She was so heart broken but in the end she broke up with him on the spot.
In conclusion, I say don’t trust some guys because they will say anything to be with you and be in your head. Also don’t be in love in high school at such a young age because it can take your mind off the important thing like my friend did. Its also brings you lots of pain the you shouldn’t be dealing with that young of an age.
