The Lady and The Tiger

In the short story “The Lady and The Tiger” by Frank Stockton, Stockton tells a story of a semi-barbaric king with a beautiful young daughter in love with a “lower” class man. When the king finds out that this man has fallen in love with his daughter he sends him to the King's arena and gives the young man a choice pick door 1 or door 2. Behind one door is a ferocious tiger, and in the other is the loveliest maiden in all the king's court. Will the young man choose door #1 or door #2? I guess that you'll have to read to find out.

7 skills our grads need

      In the article "7 skills our grads need" by Jeff McAbee, Jeff explains how critical thinking, problem solving, oral and written communications, visible thinking/learning, the ability to properly write, and to be rigorous. McAbee talked to Tony Wagner to get this information and McAbee describes these notes as if they were his own thoughts and views.

      My response to this article is, that Wagner and McAbee were spot on because who is going to hire someone who graduated college and didn't learn how to be a critical thinker or know how to problem solve, etc. I believe that if I go to college I would surely expect that I know how to do those 7 skills.

Most Important lesson

     The most important lesson that I have learned since starting high school, would be that if I had the choice to do my work, get good grades and all that I would have to do is use my planner and write down my homework, then I wouldn't hesitate to choose that path. However I choose the path that included me failing not one but two semesters of English, and just barley passing the rest of my classes. My advice to anyone needing help, this is what I purpose. Use your planner, and I mean write down deadlines and when projects are due. Do not procrastinate. Finally do your work, ALL of it and passing  class with at least a C, or higher if you do well on the homework, tests...etc.
