The instructor those are willing to help us go for and be successful in what they teach us. We interact in class and outside the class room, we have the same goals so we are like one person so that what make us a community. The central of our membership is the same we all want a good paying job and a better future for our self and our family’s. We are here for a reason and one reason only to have a better life and this community is going to do if for us and we going to do if for our self’s.  The membership is also relates to the opportunities that’s there for us, and we accepted to get that opportunity.  The members choose to be a part of the YearUp community and also for the reasons to close the opportunities divide so the ethnicity are the urban youth get to be a part of the corporate word.

Plus/Delta For Mod1

What are some of the things you learned about yourself as a student or a professional in Module I? Did you surprise yourself in any way? Were you proud of yourself? Were you at all disappointed in yourself? Why?

Plus/Delta for yourself about your academic skills and your professional skills.

Plus: things you did well, work you are proud of, behavior that you are proud of, assignments you are proud of. What else?
Delta: things you’d like to work on or change: growth areas in terms of your academic work (writing? grammar? proofreading?); study skills (organization? timing? reading? annotating? summarizing?); professional skills (verbal skills? listening skills? etc.); team member (sharing the spotlight, taking more leadership roles, etc.) 


There wasn’t anything that I didn’t know about myself, I know myself already so I wasn’t worry about myself again. There won’t anything I didn’t already know, I know I was a hardworking, motivated and proud of any work that I produces. I surprise myself by walking up early every morning to get to Year Up and that surprise me, because I don’t do that often. And now in the weekend am also walking up early without me walking myself up, it’s my body. I’m proud of myself because I get down to business and do all my homework on time and get good grade, that make me really proud. Am not disappointed because I know am doing the best I can for myself, and am doing the best I can.

The Neighborhood I Live In

To what extent does a person’s neighborhood shape who she or he is?
Write a post on your blog- 300-350 words- in which you talk about your surroundings and how this environment has affected you as a person:
·         Briefly describe your neighborhood.
·         Which statement best fits you and why?
·         I am who I am because of the neighborhood I live (d) in.
·         I am who I am despite the neighborhood I live (d) in.

The neighborhood I use to live in was a poor neighborhood, but we were comfortable any way. We take what we can to survive, we were poor but we were happy. The neighborhood that I use to live was safe for me, you could go out and you don't have anything to worry about. We have a big family so we feel safer because we have support if anything went wrong. We were a community that comes together, and wasn’t different from each other.
We create our own soccer and cricket field, to play our sports and have fun with each other. We speak the same language to communicate with each other, no one speak a different language that we can't understand. We understand every word they spoke, and we didn't have to speak in a different language. So that’s why we speak the longuage we understand, our mother tough. 
We aren’t a shame of it because that's how we talk, in broken English. Some of our families were farmers, we grow our own food. Articulator is a big part of country life' sometimes that's how we make our money and to feed our family’s. We have an uncle that owns a small store; he sometimes gave us food when we don't have any. So could say they were supportive, when we didn’t have anything to eat, are when we were in trouble. No one was rich everyone was trying to help them self, to have something that could be there's. We were a poor community that didn't have too much, that makes me want something better than that, because right now I have the opportunity to have it. So I am not going to gIve up until I get it, and have something that I can say it’s mine.

The Poverty Business

  They are exacerbating the opportunity for the low wage people, by giving them credit cards. The company targets the low income people, because they know that they need the money, and they are not making that much money to pay off their credit cards in time. The company’s takes advantage of the opportunity for them because they can’t save their money to move on with there life, because they are in a lot of death. Every penny that they make has to go back to the company’s that lends them the money.
The government on the corporations is responsible for that matter. First the government knows about this issue because they know about the corporation, because they gave them permission to have that business in the first place. So the government is a big part of that action. Second the corporations because they come up with this business, so people like us could borrow money from them, because we don’t have it. They didn’t teach us about it, they just send it to our front door. They take advantage of us, they abuse us, with their credit card, and they hide everything from us. They put us in debt with smiles on their faces, because that’s how they make their money. They know some of us are not going to say no, because we really need that money. In the end we are not going to have that money to pay it back, so we are going to accumulate interest on the money we already owe them.
 We need some resource in place where it is free and available to everyone. This resource is going to teach them about credit card, teach them everything that they need to know about credit cards. This resource should be in very state and very country that has credit cards so people can understand how to spend and be free from debt.
