My beloved world 8b


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.
