I haven't been having any fun recently. I work, go to school, and do chores so my free time has been limited. I work 5 days of the week, out of these two are weekend days. On my two off days I go to school, and do chores once I get home. I finally realized this when all of my friends were at the homecoming game while I was at work. I feel the pressure of wanting to be successful is deterring me from not quitting my job. Even if I quit my job I wouldn’t be able to do anything because I wouldn't have the money.
Today in class we read a short story that wasn't really short. The was called Rockpile by James Baldwin. We had a discussion about the story in class. The story was about a hangout for older kids called the rockpile. The rockpile was considered a bad place for younger kids because it was dangerous. One day Johns brother Roy decided to go to the rockpile even though their mother told them not to. While at the rockpile their was a gang fight and Roy was injured. The father tried to blame John but the mother defended him.
