What is your tragic flaw?

My tragic flaw is that people can make me laugh when I am mad. Of course, when you are mad you don't want to laugh, you'd rather stay mad until you get over it. Unfortunately that's not the case with me. Whenever I am mad there is always someone who will try to make me laugh and wont stop until I do laugh.

Which character can you relate to most in the story Antigone?

The character I can relate to is Ismene. The reason why I can relate to her is because I like to go by the rules. I would relate to Antigone if the brother she was going to give up her life for was alive but he's not, hes dead and I think its stupid to risk your life for a dead person.

Which is more important, family or law?

In my opinion, family is more important but obeying the law is important as well. If I was put in a predicament where my mom was about to die if I did not break the law, then I would break the law. If it was a decision such as if my mom was about to get her hair shaved off if I did not break the law then I probably would not break the law, she'd just be balled.

How are you doing with meeting deadlines?

With our I Believe essays, comes deadlines and benchmarks. On our first benchmark I did good. I turned in the first draft of my essay not complete but on time. For our second benchmark I did not do so good. I missed the benchmark which means I must turn it in tomorrow so I will have time to type and complete the final draft of my essay.

What makes your first draft good?

I have to admit, my first draft was not all that good. It stills needs a lot of work. But the best thing about my first draft is that I had a particular story to tell. Its easy to believe in something but not experience that thing that you believe in. I was in that particular dilemma. There are many positive things I believe in but have not had the chance to experience them and when writing an "I Believe" essay, you need a story to tell so I had difficulty finding something. Good thing I did.

Describe a time when you were optimistic about the future

The time when I was most optimistic about the future is the night I found out that Obama was elected president. I was at youth group and my friend got a text from his friend saying "Obama won!!!". I was so ecstatic. I did not jump around and scream and cry physically, but I did mentally. The reason why I am so optimistic about the future is because I know things are going to get a lot better in our society. I did not think that I would see an African American president and I know that unlike Bush, he cares about African Americans since he is one himself.
