Guest Speaker Israel Vargas
September 23, 2016 Israel Vargas, came to 4th period honors english class and gave a speech to the class of all his life. From how he got to the U.S. and how he now runs a shelter for men,women, and children.

Something that Mr.Vargas said during the speech to the class was how he was able to get two associate degrees and a minor while being in prison for 12 years.What I think he is trying to say is that no matter where you stand at you can still be successful in life. If Mr.Vargas was able to get those degrees in prison imagine what us as students that are not in prison can get if we were to try to be successful like Mr.Vargas did. One of the reasons he entered to school was because he wanted security, so he saw that the gang leader had security when he went to school or wherever he went and he wanted to be secured so he started to get close to the gang leader and got into school and in school he got 2 associate degrees and a minor for computer science. What we can take away from Mr.Vargas is that in other to succeed

You will be wasting around 1,500 monthly to cover all those payments up. 15000 x 12 = 18000 you only have 1000 left to waste around. And that is only living by yourself now with a child a year you spend around 15000 to 17000 a year.With an associate degree you earn 23000 so now you have 5000 left for yourself. Perhaps Mr.Vargas is suggesting to go for the best degree you think will help you pay your expenses and for you to live happy with your family. It is important to get a higher degree because it will make your life much easier when it comes to paying those monthly bills. I also think that Mr.Vargas was trying to let us know to go further and try to get that higher

    The idea of transcending into or through a new context has applied, and still does, at a profoundly deep level to the entire existence, past and future of humanity. It is an important concept to take into account for the future. Transitioning into a new context can have serious repercussions, whether they be positive or negative. If someone is to move into a new situation, their personal attitude and opinions must change to adapt to the circumstance. A change in these values may subsequently lead to positive or negative outcomes, depending on the nature of the transition itself.…

    While actions may speak louder than words, it doesn’t mean that they are more powerful when it comes to initiating change and connection. Words are used to express many feelings and bold messages; they can call people to action, bring them to tears, and even drive their adrenaline to act upon them. While words may only be a vibration of vocal chords, they ring out in a harmonious way that compels others to listen. Many historical people, such as Martin Luther King and John F. Kennedy gave speeches to bring hope to their audience, while other figures such as Lori Arviso Alvord wrote about diversity and acceptance. All these voices had power in their words through confidence and passion.…

    Hi Nadja, I think today it's hard to imagine a time when the Executive Branch was second in command to Congress, but based on what we learned in the last section, that seems to be what the framers had intended. Remember how it was still fresh in their minds that they had emerged from under a monarchy and they intended to never experience that again? Also, that many delegates refused to attend the Constitutional Convention? That was because they had no desire for a centralized government, and as representatives of their state they knew that was not what the people wanted either. Most colonists at the time were perfectly content with the idea of state sovereignty.…

There are many reasons why others define Betts as a “felon”, but he describes himself as a “success”, Betts chose himself as a “learner”, others define me as “motivated” and to reflect based on challenges of defining an identity is, “failure to success”. Throughout the memoir, many people describe Betts as a “felon”, but he describes himself as a “success”. A felon is “a person who has been convicted of a felony” and success is “the accomplishment of an aim/purpose.”…

    Even though Rodriguez obtained the best education one can get, in my perspective, he lacked one of the most important aspects in a person’s life: an opinion. He constantly tried to discover himself in books, instead of going out and discovering himself in the real world. “What did I see in my books? I had the idea that they were crucial for my academic success, though I could not have said exactly how or why” (Rodriguez). He constantly relied completely on his books.…
