Ms Tomlin's Class

Even though I come late for Tomlin's class, I really love it and I think I learn a lot of things. Right now we've recently been learning about laws. We've addressed how a bill becomes a law and every process it has to go through before it's actually published. It's really helpful because you need to know your rights and the laws or else people with higher authority will try to push you around just because you're clueless. Being in her class makes me want to major in law just so I can learn a lot of new things but I know it's going to be a lot of hard work. That's the only problem. I don't like to work too hard but I like to gain a lot of knowledge.. if that makes any sense. Police officers often do unlawful things and searches but since people do not know their rights and what's against the law, they don't know to stop them and call for actions/ report it. I think it's important to know your laws and rights because that's the only way to survive in the USA.

Music

I really like listening to music so this topic should be easy. One song I like, and would like to discuss is Changes by Tupac. Every time I hear that song I feel like he's saying some valuable stuff that people should hear, maybe it'll actually change something one day. In the song he pretty much talks about America. And how America works in his eyes.  I pretty much agree with every thing he said in that song because I also kind of believe that America is corrupt. There was one line in the song he said that I agree with because it makes me remember changes I been through in my life. The line was "I'd love to go back to when we played as kids but things change, and that's the way it is." It makes me remember how many friends I thought I had, that I never seen again, and how many problems I overcame to be the person I am today. His song is based on black on black crime and how African-Americans don't stick together and I agree with it because of my past experience and stories I've heard on the News. I think if black people stuck together we would be unstoppable because it's so many of us. And I hope one day people will have the same mindset as Tupac and I, because then we'll be able to make it way further than a graveyard or jail cell.
