Agree to Disagree.

Dreading to read this book, but when i did I read about success and failures, things not to say and things to encourage of course I disagreed with some points but overall I think she was trying to get a good point. I think that our generation or just me, (mostly me because i question most things if im proven wrong) I don't really get the concept of the book because its usually about something we already experience and currently in our mindset. Maybe this will be useful if you have kids or not, maybe you can just pass it on. This book actually did get me thinking though about topics I never really touched. I thought it was pretty cool how Mick, associated chapter 8 with the 12 men, I never even thought of how that ties in with the book. With some changes there are risks and some people are more easier to change than others. Like this stubborn jury member didn't change his mind for anything, not for plausible evidence they were assuming happened or how the witnesses lies, he was stuck in his stubborn racist ways, until he thought deep down how he pushed his son away and it some how affected him to change his vote.it was a pretty good movie. Even though the book was a good read so far. It's so hard juggling work with other classes as well. During midterm time teachers like to cram stuff in last minute. I like how the book also talks about other aspects of your life like friendships, relationships, and etc. I love the mental aspect though because it talks about how other people interpret your words and actions so now you have to watch how you express things or you'll give someone the wrong idea. Overall feelings:

SUBMIT TO ME.

The reason why this post is titled "submit to be" because the phrase screams out bow down to me and I'd like to say that I have overcome most of my major obstacles. Thinking back on my life, I'm not sure If anyone else would classify this as obstacles, but I'd say I got over wanting the approval of others, and accepting myself. When I was younger I use to practically depend on other's opinion of me, and whether or not I was wearing the right clothes, saying the right thing, and just having a cautious approach of everything. I was passive, I did not having a mind of my own, just agreeing with what everyone said to make them happy.  What I mean about accepting myself is appreciating the differences that exclude me from some people, physically, musically, and etc. because everyone's not going to like rock music or like my style of clothing or support everything that I do. Even though some of those differences excludes me from some close minded, ignorant people, my friends or other people that I haven't met yet, will accept me for me and decide to at least co exist with me. What changed all of that was high school of course, where everyone found themselves and was proud to be a individual. In high school I realized I had to be independent, care less of what others think and stand up for what I believe in. In college I don't think this will be much of a problem because everything is so diverse here. One obstactle I have yet to overcome is my overpowering shyness, It's really annoying how intimidating I feel large groups of people are, so I usually tend to stay quiet and just sway in the background. I've heard that being introverted probably won't help me in my college experience but I think I'll manage to survive. I hope that college expands my knowledge that I have already gained throughout elementary school and beyond and prepare me for my dream job.
