Emerson for the young buck

       So Emerson's essay is all about self-reliance. Self-reliance is like your ability to do things. Emerson explains everything you need to know about self-reliance.

The assembly was alright. What they told us was that we can sign up for a free online website. Where if you are 16 or 17 years old, you can sign up and when you are 18 years old.
