In the past, I am an active type of a kid before. I’m really amused with what is see in people and media. As of that time I don’t have the purchasing power that is why I go to the people that has it, which is either my mom or my dad. I usually sell them the thing I like or I have interest in like; before, I was addicted with sports like BMX and skateboarding. For me to provide for parts and accessories, I sell the sports to my mom or dad by frequently watching X games and sport channels and involving them to it and therefore convincing them to buy me one.

The best way to make better grades is the ability to study, but the best is to distributed in small portion everyday is the main element for learning effectively. Thus, if there is more poor academic performance this leads to the reason why students become quitters, but there are also others who get over confident that they believe that they are already too good for the college or university. This results for them to start losing focus and if they do not pay enough attention to their studies they will fail. Those who are not adapt to the newly discovered environment it becomes harder than expected to get use to the homework, books, projects, and essay. They need to start doing good studying habits for a few month then later on they would get use to it and it will become natural for them to study. This would benefit them in the long run making it better and easier for themselves making it less likely to have problems and to leave the

I have done my best in school. I have always gotten a grade better than a A- in school. In order to achieve this, I do extra credit when it’s given, go in early to class if I do not understand a concept, and get homework done in a orderly manner.
Throughout my life, I have worked hard to do well in school and get good grades. I am proud with what I have achieved, but I am still driven to try and do better. As of right now, I have a cumulative GPA of 3.98. I try to get decent grades not only to please my parents and teachers but to please myself and the colleges I plan on applying to next school year.
He is this hard guy who just wants to keep his family safe and find other survivors.

When she comes to Casablanca with Victor Laszlo, running away from the German police after escaping a concentration camp, Rick’s hopes of living a normal life again are shattered. They loved each other while they were in Paris, while she assumed Laszlo was dead. Seeing her with another man after she abruptly left him, he seethes with rage. This is even visible on his face every time he sees her. This is part of his complexity as a character. He is showing relatable emotions and deep character thoughts. This emotion does such an ordeal to him that in one scene, we simply see him choking down alcohol to stifle his depression. This is yet another example of a human character really, with faults that are normal, unlike the pure good and evil characters that we sometimes see in movies. Later in the movie, we realize that Rick in the owner of the two visas that will eventually get people out of Casablanca, into Lisbon, and then the U.S. And who else would need them but Ilsa and Victor. The whole movie, Rick has been a law-obeying, neutral restaurant owner. In this portion of the movie, we see his seething rage get the better of him as he denies Laszlo the visas. When Laszlo asks him why, Rick responds, “Ask Ilsa, she’ll tell you.” We can tell that rage and bitter jealousy have overcome a once good character. The only future Rick can see the visas having is with him and Ilsa in America. But late
The most important lesson that the main character, Rick Bragg, learned that by leading a selfless life and being hardworking, individuals will be reward. This lesson is first seen early on in the book with Rick’s mother Margaret Bundham Bragg. Margaret married Charles Bragg who was an alcohol abuser and because of this would beat her as well. When Charles was not home, Rick’s mother would try and support her children by working odd jobs like cotton picking in the fields and even went as far as not buying a new dress in eighteen years. Margret made sure that all of her children were fed and happy and hoped that one day they could “get even with life” as Rick but it. Margaret is finally rewarded at the end of the book when Rick wins the Pulitzer
He was overwhelmed by his terrible situation having to grow up fast and be responsible of paying bills, household chores, raising children alone and sadly becoming ill. In addition to this I believe Rick was not alone since there were people around him who went through the same situation or worse which unfortunately still happens to this date. Personally as of my opinion Kristoff argues that having an “opportunity” in life is not equally among all individuals because not everyone is raised the same, others come from great family values or simply have better luck in life compared to the less unfortunate individuals. The author as well mentions that some individuals grow up in a “socially rigid hierarchies that our ancestors fled, the kind of society in which your outcome is largely determined by your beginning”. I agree with this argument because it all depends on the society, environment and how they have been raised in their early life. Sometimes barriers tend to show up and deviate a person from reaching their goal and success, which limits the opportunities in this land. As finishing reading this article Kristoff mentioned good points to support his article and show how the land of opportunity is
Later in the movie, he even meets a couple desperate to leave Casablanca--whom he helps by assisting them in cheating one of the games in his own bar to win money. It was as if his love for Ilsa and the realization of the bigger picture that lies beyond them, cracked open his thick, cynical exterior. Timothy Corrigan and Patricia White note in a passage of The Film Experience: An Introduction that "we can understand Casablanca as a drama of character by following Rick's transformation from a singular to a collective character ready to sacrifice his

Rick is a 25 years boy, full of wishes that he doesn’t know from where they came from or to where they will get him. Although his parents try to push him into daily responsibilities, Jeff believes they should give him everything – money, house, and love. After all, they’re rich. When seeing life with a different perspective, the desperation takes his sleep away and he turns into an impulsive desperate person, capable of unimaginable attitudes.
He aggressively insists on calling Resch out, claiming that he likes to kill— all he needs is a “pretext.” Rick’s moral conflict has come to a conclusion at this point in the story— as he believes that it is inhumane to end the lives of

At 9.00 go to your classes, and after class do your assignments, then if you have free time do what ever you want. By doing this you are teaching your brain what time of day it is, and this helps your brain pay attention. You should also find a better environment. What i mean by saying this is that if you have a hard time in the back of the class you should move, or if someone continues to talk
