my Canterbury tale thingy...

the middle ages were a time of knights and princesses, kings, and queens it was also a time of hard working and self determination most people had to fend for themselves. and if you could not fend for yourself then you simply could not survive.
if i was too live in the middle ages i think my most likely occupation would be a king.not because i am one but because they are the best you could possible be and i only see my self to be the best in life i would live in a huge castle and i would also "work" out of my castle i would be working just not as hard as anyone else in my kingdom. everyday i would have to deal with people who may want things from me and most importantly the well-being of my loyal subjects because all i would really care for is how and what my people may feel about me
another aspect of my life would be my family life which i think would be great because i could surround my self with people with the same ideals as my self and just have good vibes as well. being a king of course you would think that i would have the perception that the world revolves around me but me as a king i thing i would be more concerned about my people more then myself. but at the same time as being a nice guy  would know ho to protect my people and be a ruthless military leader
`my morals as a kind would be the well being of my people and my family but at the same time knowing what to do when something may be wrong for the future i would be a dream come true to play professional sports but realistically speaking i would like to be a history teacher but must important of all i would like to further my education

in Chaucer the Canterbury tales the character the cook is not really presented to be much his definition is very short and to the point from his picture you can tell hes a short middle aged man who is very experienced in his line of work and very gifted as well based on his description the only characteristic that isn't completely vague about him is that he has a ulcer on his right knee

American Dream?


The “American Dream”. It has a different meaning to everyone, some more traditional then others. The social norm I want a big house with a beautiful wife or a husband. Mine is much more stereotypical then that. You see we’ve based our dreams around what we want or what we think is essential to us, but why can’t we base it on something more important. Sure a roof over your head is important but reaching for something that seems to be unattainable set goals seemingly impossible like being the president, finding a cure for the common cold or even graduating college. Remember not everyone has the means and recourses to have that privilege. Even those who do aren’t having the success that has been promised to them. Recent studies have shown that 43% of recent college graduates are currently at jobs that don’t require a college education. (Heldrich center for workforce deployment) Is this our faults? Of course not mostly because our parents have installed in us that college is the way to go with our lives. Education is a huge part of my American Dream it’s the stepping stone for our leaders. But its proving to be lessening in its importance what are we really to do if we can’t even rely on our educations to propel us to our dreams? It’s so bad that even people aren’t attending college and going straight into the workforce literally were working longer and living shorter, and was not even having fun as we do it national happiness is down since the Great Depression. If it was up to me there would be a system that ensures college graduates the jobs that there training for basically. The American Dream is blind to most people because they are just unaware of their full potential

my senior year highlights

my senior year highlights will consist of many things some more important than others. the main things I set out to accomplish this year is to, of course, graduate. and for the first time to participate in a full year of basketball i haven't been able to do so because i have not been able to achieve a 2.0 GPA. I also would like to take part in the building of the senior homecoming float and be on it during the homecoming game, even though id rather be playing the game. being a senior has its perks and one of them is to be able to attend senior ball. i skipped out on junior prom so i would very much like to go to ball this year. above all this year I want to make the most of  my senior year and just have a good year with my friends and be truly unforgettable
