Reading blog entry 4 (Monster)

 The main character Steve is on trial for the murder of an attempted robbery that ended up being a murder. He is in the courtroom and his odds are very low on walking out of there with a light sentence, if I were to give him advice it would be to treat everybody with respect and to acknowledge what he’s done. So don’t expect anyone in the courtroom to be on your side. I would tell him to put a lot of thought into the words that come out of his mouth, one mess up and he’ll be screwed. He needs to address his situation and the crime he’s committed and give his condolences. I’m not saying that he’s going to walk out of there with a light sentence but at least he had a good court appearance and was very proper. Maybe just maybe they might give him parole other than no parole and dying in prison if he would’ve been disrespectful.

 I had this teacher named ms finley in the 3rd grade and me, and she had an excellent bond because around that time, I got a disease in my spine, and I was paralyzed for a few months and went fully blind. So while I was In the hospital for about 5 months, she would go and visit me every couple of weeks, and it meant a lot to me because she actually cared and she had got all my classmates to make me get well soon cards, and it really meant a lot to me. To this day, I have so much respect for her and will never forget who she is and what she did for me. And when I had got released from the hospital, she caught me up on all my work and got my grades up, and she would constantly be checking up on me even outside of school. She was a really positive teacher. Without her, I would have probably bombed that school year and fallen behind on my grades, so she really impacted my younger success.

 There is a goal that I set and achieved to graduate high school. I've established that goal since I was a kid in elementary school. I would tell my parents that I would walk that stage one day and get my diploma, which I technically achieved. Besides that walking the stage partly because I graduated in 2020 when covid first came, and everyone was virtual. Therefore, I couldn't walk the stage, but I did receive my diploma on time. I felt a significant relief when I achieved what I always wanted. I felt unstoppable and very happy for myself. It was worth all those hard times in school. It had all paid off.
