I hope that the last thing I leave behind and one of the top goals in my life is leaving my future kids with a memory that I was an amazing dad and did the very most that i could do for my children. Unlike what i grew up with dead beat parents I plan on giving them the world and the best life that they could have.
Everything in life is about different perceptions and how we as humans process things. I personally believe that looking at things from all different angles and being open minded! It will help become a very thoughtful person.
It means that the world would not be the same without poetry. Poetry is an outlet it helps individual relate and express themselves.
 Who is the most influential leader you have ever had? Why did he or she have such an influence on you? The most influential leader I ever had is my mother, well my mother that took me in and saved me from the streets and the wrong path. Sophomore year i was making bad decisions at the home I was at and starting to run the streets and do whatever I please. My adopted parents took me in turned me gave me structure and taught me the actual meaning for life without them I wouldn't be the young man that I am today. I cant thank her enough

  1. Discuss the role(s) of women in the 1950s as portrayed in the movie. How are they different from the view of Katherine Watson? The role of women in the perspective of Katherine Watson was that they were free spirits just like men. Katherine was a big supporter of being individual and striving for goals. The standard in that time was that women were to please their husbands no matter what they wanted. Women in the 50's were trained to be the perfect housewife. Katherine knew that she wasn't going to let her life revolve around a men, because she had her own goals and expectations.

  1. Katherine Watson's teachings were labeled as "unorthodox". Explain and cite examples from the movie.   Katherine Watson's teaching abilities were labeled unorthodox because she didn't teach by the basic  outlined procedures gave to her. As a teacher she wanted to reach out to students in different ways to challenge them mentally, because she knows all their potential. Katherine's decision to take the students to view artwork outside of school was frowned upon due to the fact that they never experienced a situation like that. So in response to Katherine's originality when writing a new contract they tried to set guidelines so she walked!
