Babysitting

While babysitting, I noticed that whenever the kids' parents would call to check up on the kids, they would automatically calm down. When I saw this it made me think, "hmmm... these kids were ready to tear down the house a second ago why did they suddenly just stop?" I connected this experience back to sociology because that is how it is with most everyone. When a person is by themselves with no "governing' power to make them stop, people do whatever they want, but once an authority figure steps in, everything goes back to order. Another example of this is recess at elementary schools. Kids are given about half an hour to go crazy and let of energy but once the teacher calls everyone back in, the kids lose their freedom to do whatever they want, but they just accept it because that is what society has trained them to do. Society has trained people to do as the governing power says whether it be a parent, a teacher, or even the U.S. government.

Me!

I am a senior this year. I am one of five kids and am the second oldest. I have three sisters and one brother. I am a pretty quiet person and don't talk that much. I don't really watch a lot of t.v. so I am not very involved with what is going on in the world today. I like older music like from the eighties. I also play badminton in the Spring. The biggest influences in my life are my family members, especially my parents. They influence me because they struggled to get to where they are today and I want to do something good in my life so their efforts to give us, their kids, a better future won't be wasted. My life goals are to finish college and become a lawyer. And thats basically a quick summary of who I am!
