Someone Who Influenced You

1. There has never really been anyone, within or outside of my family, that i considered to have changed my life for the better. I would guess that most people would take into account teachers when considering this. I mean after all they do , most of them, teach you things that can ultimately help you in life. That is of course if knowing how to find square roots will make a difference in how you're going to get your bills paid. I really ttry not to be influenced by others. Contrary to what most may believe I don't think imitation is the best form of flatory. Becoming to heavily influenced by someone can leave you, cloned in a way. Being someone who thrives on the fact that I am myself that wouldn't fit to well. I don't have mentors to teach me, constantly, what I should do. For those who try I shoot them down, for I'd much rather learn from experience. The only things, that I could say, would have influenced me that came from someone else is their words. Advice from other people never ceases to surround me, and so I pay it all no mind. The only thing I am influenced by that comes from other people is actions. What I've come to learn is that many of the people around me have a tendancy to say one thing and, quickly, do another. They say hypocrites are the best people to learn from but I'd rather not. So has anyone ever influenced me for the better, probably, but I sure don't remember.
2. To put it simply, I believe that what the Humanities class is, is a combination of Social Studies and Language Arts. What I mean by this is that Humanities contains elements from both of these subjects. For instance, we've had to write several essays, and will eventually do more, thus far. While still learning about other cultures and the ways and operations of their lands. we've also had to write about things all people in the world go through. Much like when we had written about a time when we came of age. Since coming of age is something everyone goes through it pertains to everyone. In fact, I believe that's just what Humanities is, finding away to connect to one another. Humanities pertains to everyone, and so that is what it is, everyone, along with everything that they do.
3. I believe it would be a good idea to replace all of the Detroit Public Schools with Charter schools. I have attended both Detroit Public Schools and Charter schools and while public schooling is convenient it does not hold the stature of which a charter school does. The school, of which I am currently in attendance to , is a charter school. I have been an on-again-off-again student, leaving the school to attend others and eventually come back, but ultimately I attended this school since it was first built. Others alike can concur that, even in it's earliest stages, it was doing far better than a vast majority of Detroit Public Schools. Needless to say Charter schools offer more to its students. Some Charter schools are directed to a specific subject in learning. For example math, engineer training, science and technology and various other subjects. Along with this factor Charter schools are not subject to the restrictions that Detroit Public Schools are obliged too follow therefore they are more capable or have more of the means to provide their students with things that are needed. An example of charter schools surpassing Detroit Public Schools is in more recent events. My school's debate team has beat out an acclaimed Detroit Public School for first place in the competition. Our students, the students of Plymouth Educational Center Preparatory High School, winning this competition as a whole, along with various individual parts, proves my point. That Charter schools better prepare their students for what's to come in their future and ultimately giving them a better one.
