When I was a little kid my parents wouldn't let me walk all the way down our driveway, which is pretty long. When I was a kid my mom and dad would not let me go past something called the grey pole, which was a little eletrical cable pole in our front yard that stuck out of the ground in between our house and the road. They did not explicitally say what would happen if I crossed the grey pole, but they did say that something bad would happen. Well when I got a little adventerous a year later I went out past the famous grey pole. Needless to say nothing happened to me, it did not hinder my relationship with my parents but I thought it was interesting that they lied to me.

 By the time I leave college these are the five skills that I would like to learn by the end of school. Number one would be self discipline, I want to learn the ability to get stuff done when I need to and not get distracted. Also having the self discipline to wake up early and get to work is big. The second skill I would like to learn is the ability to start a conversation with a stranger, I think that that skill is widely useful in the world today, helping you make connections and meet new people outside of the social media world. The third thing Id like to learn skill wise is the ability to have a tough conversation with someone, whether that be a teacher or a peer, just the ability to sit down with someone and say what needs to be said. The fourth skill that id like to learn in school is the skill to be able to sit down and focus, sometimes I have trouble focusing on one thing for a long period of time and I would like to have the ability to sit down and work on one thing for a...

 First composition blog... All the sudden I woke up, metal and concrete that's all I see. I dont remember what had happened the night before. My head is pounding, I have a large gash over my eye, and I don't know where it came from. I reach into my left pocket, open wallet, no id, no credit card. Just then something comes back to me, I was at the bars my credit card, still at the bar, and the officer must have my ID. I reach down into my pocket again, trying to find information about what happened it was them that I found the glass in my pocket, broken glass, it was then where I rubbed my head, and felt the lump, and scrape on the top of it. It all started coming back too me, at the bar, the fight,somebody had gotten in my friend's face and a brawl had begun. My friend had given me his phone to hold, just then I look into my other pocket, and what do I find my phone, and my friends in my pocket. In jail for fighting in a brawl, boy was that a night...

 The big things that I was I was told in High School about college was the ability to manage time and how important it is in your life. In high school your day is kind of planned for you and you have set times for everything throughout the day. In college you have to learn to manage your time to the point where you have to plan out your free time in order to get stuff done. In college you have to focus on managing your time and energy on important things. Another truth about college is that the professors will work with you and not punish you for everything you do. In high school teachers would try to scare me saying in college you wont get away with that. But, in real life the professors in college will often times work with you more than high school teachers did. The last and final truth about college is that if you apply yourself you will meet very many new people. In high school you can get caught in a rut trying to meet new people because you are stuck in the same area forever...
