Academics!!!!

In the book now Ben is having some issues in elementary school he even had to go to summer school. I thought that was funny because when I was in 3rd grade I had to go to summer school because I had a problem with reading. I was horrible at it because my mother never had time to read to me because she worked so much. However I think it was the environment that I was brought up in also that caused me to have problems. I had bigger problems to conquer at home. I think that was the same thing with Ben because when he got into middle school and high school he was a very good student.

09' Seniors

I would say goodbye to all my classmates and wish them the best of luck in life. I would not really address it as a fair well, more like its a new error in our lives' that we must move on to to become better people for our world. I would say thanks to all of my teachers and my mother for all of her love and support too. Last but not least I would give a nice warm bye to the Neatfreaks, my best friends.

Bye Daddy

Prompt #3
"And your daddy isn't going to live with us anymore."(pg.9) That is what Ben's mother told him at the age of eight years old when his father walked out on his mother for good. He becomes emotionally scarred from this event because he looked at his father as a well rounded fatherly figure; however for the rest of his childhood he does not have a father to guide him down the right path. In this chapter I feel for this little boy because he cries for weeks thinking that he was the reason why his father left his family. Ben's mother, Sonya, had to take care of the two of her sons as a single mother without any type of support from the boys' father. Which is very hard for a mother to have to fend for her children without any type of help. I have sympathy for Ben's family because I know how hard it could be for a mother to raise kids by herself.
