CrandellTellTwo+Readings

Two Readings I feel like sometimes who you are and where you come from can make an impact on your future. These two reading definitely address this issue, one from an inner city where success was looked down upon by other students, and a Spanish family living in America. There is no way you can’t say these moment had an impact on their future. They did. I am a “normal” student and yet can still struggle and in fact do. Some may look at my life and say its relatively perfect, good student, has a job, has her priorities in order, and is a generally happy girl. . . that’s what people see. How I feel is very different. How I see everything I’m not “normal”. I’m me. I like the saying, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” and I think it relates to more than just beauty. It is an everyday thing. What I find important differs from other people. What I enjoy differs. What I want for my life - it differs. These readings differ and yet the men in both found out something about them, grew as individuals, and were challenged. In these ways similarities arise, but they events that lead them there were completely different. We all strive I think to gain an education, to become knowledge, but the reason we are reaching for those goals are all different.
