I browsed through the website about the college scholarships and which ones a person can apply for. Now i have more knowledge on scholarships. There are a lot of scholarships out there that i didnt know about. So this time was in fact valuable to me and im sure the times we get to do these things it will matter.

       What I learned is that John Steinbeck had his literary fairy godfather his name was Pascal Covici. Covici was his dear friend and editor. I clicked this link because i wanted to know what “literary fairy godfather” meant. :)

What I learned in todays seminar was that as someone said that music is like a story when you see the lyrics and it could be like a poem in a way too with a beat in the background. To me in my opinion music is art because i love music and i like a lot of types of music it depends on what i feel like listening to. Music to me detresses me and makes me vibe to it. So when i think about music being literature.....yes i would consider music literature mixed with art.

In Jimmy Baca’s poem he explains in the beginning how and what immigrants go through to get to the U.S. From asking coyotes to sneak you in to getting rid of clothes to wearing mechanic overalls to taking shots from the doctor being felt like if  you were something else, etc. When I think about those things, I deeply think about it because it’s amazing what people from all over the world do to be in/ live in a country they dont know. The only reason they came to the U.S was just for a better life, a better future, much more opportunities, much safer, etc. And its really sad how they’re treated badly and poorly by other people, EVEN BY OUR OWN PRESIDENT......

My Big Question is this : How can i gain or grow my clientele as a barber?

       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. He explains how to use it on yourself and on society. Emerson is really known for his essay because he uses big words and known for his essay to be very difficult to understand. And what I've learned from it is that self-reliance is important because you use it in your everyday life.

My writing/ essay on emersons essay  is a little difficult to me just beacause the fact that it’s difficult to understand and its meant to be like that or beacause its a bit above my level. So throughout my writing i have tried my best to put my knowledge and understanding that i have on the essay all in one. But by the hopefully i end up getting a good grade on it. :)
