of that of the rez, giving Junior a better set-up for success than he ever could have had at the Spokane Indian Reservation. The most obvious and easily noticed upgrade in Junior’s life is his new education at Reardan. His unequivocal “I want to go to Reardan” is not easily ignored and, in my opinion, is the first turning point driven by self-assertion in the novel (45). All the dangers of transferring to Reardan are short-term, whereas the effects are long-term. Junior has been thrown into a…

In the beginning of my eleventh grade, the counselor called all juniors to the counseling center to discuss about the senior year and only one person was called at a time.…

However, part of the beauty of time is that often, healing emotional healing can take place, if a person allows. Transitioning into Junior High School – Age 11 I was attending my junior high school orientation. Classes had not started. I recall my older step-sister coming into the auditorium with a grim expression on her face. I knew something awful had happen. She informed me that my father…
What career do we plan to pursue? I thought I had this decision set ending my junior year, but as senior year got closer and I actually had to sit down and think about everything, I had to make a few changes. It was then that I made the decision to attend a community college instead of a university as soon as I ended my high school career.

My only problem I didn’t take the SAT or the ACT had a good GPA but because of me being so young I just didn’t know how to get to the next level, college. During the college…
