Your Clemson Tigers

To many suprise the Clemson tigers are 4-0 and 13th in the nation. Cullen Harper is playing like a three-year starter and the offensive line is filling the gaps left by four seniors last year. I think that the people outside of Clemson are the more suprised ones. People in Clemson haven't forgot totally what it's like to win a few games. If you ask most Clemson natives they will quickly tell you about the Danny Ford era, and ofcourse the 1981 National Championship. Most of them will never forget those days. The question they ask is, will this 4-0 team bring Clemson back to the promise land? Well with three Atlantic Division games left in the ACC, and three Coastal Division games left only time will tell. If the Clemson tigers can maintain this attitude about themselves and continue to win, we may see a new era in Clemson within the next year. Only time will tell with the Clemson Tigers, but the future sure looks bright.

Inequality

In class we discussed how in today's society racism is still a problem. Whether we like it or not, their never will be total equality in society. People can see that it never will be. Theirs always going to be that one person who think whites should have this or blacks shouldn't do that. In South Carolina most of the population is black, but when you look at Clemson University the population is white. This is just one of the issues that we have to deal with today. Some places in the U.S. still have segregated rooms and areas. I think it will always be an issue, because parents will always teach their kids what they believe.

Interview Reflection

I thought the interview with my dad helped me see how I've matured and came along with reading and school. He told me that with my maturity, I have become a better listener and reader. He thinks that as you get older, you see that their are more resonsibilities you have to take charge of. I first realizez that when I came into my first semester at Clemson. I was shocked when things weren't as easy as I imagined them to be. I expected all my problems to go away. I found out that I was wrong after my first round of test. I had almost failed every one of them. I was stressed and didn't know what to do. I immediately went to my advisor and my parents for help. They told me that the first round always gets freshmen because you haven't learned to study yet. So I wanted to take my dissaproval out on the next round of tests. I studied better and excelled on the all my midterms. I see exactly what my dad meant when he said learning from your mistakes will you make you a lot better in the long run.
