“Casa: A Partial Remembrance of a Puerto Rican Childhood”

Question 2
A cautionary tale of my grandmaother is to not do anything stupid. She emphisizes it by a list of things that I could do that's stupid and explains what happens if I did them.
Before leaving for college my grandmother told me time and time again to not do anything to stupid and screw up my college career.

A memorable childhood experience for me is that in high school I would always try to be in the "cool crowd" I would end up in trouble both the school and in the household. I would piss my teachers off and make an effort to have all my friends see me. I would do burnouts in the parking lot with my cars and so would my friends and the next day we would get in trouble.
By my senior year I was not completely in the trouble makeing and started succeding in school and got the desire for college.

Question 1 for Colored me

I do not give myself any label because I cannot think of any label that would fit me. I think I try to be myself no matter what. I be myself day to day. Hurstons concept in this is that we both try to be our own person.

Topics for task one

One of my ideas for task one is my high school band directors. They were very influential to to me and challenged my performance ability. I chose to go to college to be a music major in education because of their teaching abilities. They would criticize my work ethic and helped me mature into a responsible adult. This would be a very good topic for task one because I have a lot of memories to write about and experiences in band. I might have trouble with the flow of the memories and experiences. I anticipate on troubles with flow of the paper and not being so choppy. I have had troubles in the past with papers being choppy. I do not have many questions for task one.

Another topic I could use for task one could be my grandfather because he has taught me many things threw life. He has taught me responsibility and respect. I have many stories about him and with him. I could talk about his life and how he helped with me threw mine so far. I might have a problem with getting details. I could resolve that by phone calls and family research. I do not have questions for task one at this point.

A topic I could choose for task one could be my father and the things he has done for me threw life and stories I share with him. I could talk about my first car and how he helped me “trick” it out. I could use details about my car and what we did to make it unique. I might have troubles with details of his life but I can resolve those by phone calls threw family members.
