My six word memoir is “Life’s a stage, act it out”. I think
that we should live our lives how we want to. We should be able to do what we
want in life without fear of being judged. We should be open about whatever we
want in life.
I think that “My beloved world” is a good book to start
college off with. It talks a lot about responsibility and about how we are in
control of our lives. In the book, Sonia starts off by telling us about her
life. About how her father died when she was young. She talks about how her
mother struggled to make ends meet. She had to go through so much as a young
child that a lot of us never had to experience. I think that the experiences
that she faced as a child are what made her so successful. She learned at a
young age that hard work can’t be compromised. She worked very hard to be where
she is today. She went to Yale, which requires more work than any school in the
country. And although we are attending southern, the same applies to us. We
can’t compromise on hard work and full effort. Not just for school but for life
in general. We must start everyday willing to push forward. Something that I
liked in the book was when she talks about her mother trying to attend class
and work at the same time. I feel like sometimes balancing the two is
impossible. I try to priorities but sometimes I can’t. So I think I can relate
to the book in some ways. But the book can help first year students a lot which
is why it makes it a good book to read freshman year.
