Evaluation of course
I can say the course went real well. Understanding that Mrs. Ross had to teach three months off work in five weeks. I do not know if it because we had a short course but it seem like every lesson was taught very fast. Not saying that I did not learn anything but if it was little bit slower I could have comprehended more. Going fast made me buckle down and do nothing but work all day long but that is what I really needed. My opinion is that every lesson was broken down to the best of ability due to the time limit put on the course. The class could have been better if we had fewer lessons and just focused on the main points of the course. In all the course was well taught.
Self Analysis
I am a Cedric Hart from Atlanta, Ga. My favorite activity to engage in is playing baseball. My family comes before anything in my life nothing can come between our bond. I know I have what it takes to become successful because my family raised me to never quit and to never give up. My morals in life are always finding a way to come out on top and there is always around the negative things. If I always believe in these morals I can always succeed in life. As far as my future goes I have to succeed in life so I can show people around the world that black men can make it in life. I have a lot of different qualities to offer the world. One thing would be my ability to motivate people to do the things they believe in and never stop believing there self. If I had a voice loud enough to be herd around the world I, my words of motivation could persuade a lot of people that living a pure and law abiding life is the best way to live. As my life goes on I really have matured and see that to be a real successful person you have to get your education and not just finish high school. That is not good enough you have to get some kind of degree. This is why I haven chosen to further my education and make a difference in the world.
List of things I would change about myself
1.I would like become stronger in the class room.
If I become stronger in class I can go further in life.
2.I would like to be more self motivated.
If I become self motivated I will not need a lot of people in my life.
3.I would like to be more responsible.
I need to become more responsible now that I am a young adult because I will have a lot of things on my plate.
4.Not giving people a chance who I think I would not like.
I need to open my eyes more and start giving people a chance. I never know what a person is put in my life for.

letter to all the people who tried to bring me down
Dear, Haters
I just want to start this letter saying thank you all, if it was not for your negative attitude and your motivation to bring me down I would not be the person I am today. Your negativity made me push harder to what I was trying to accomplish. I give you your credit all the time you spent trying to bring me down almost got the best of me. The work you put in helped me become a stronger person mentally and it also made me see myself bigger than the people with negative influences on me. To tell you the truth all things you were doing made me think how many more haters I would get as I got larger in life. The things you were doing influenced me to do better so you could find more things that I could improve on. All this was really just making me a person with fewer flaws. The more things you thought was wrong I would make better and become a better person day by day and night by night. Soon there will be nothing you can say and you will just have to find someone else or just improve yourself.
Sincerely,
Cedric Hart

Philosophy On Life
There are a lot of ways I view life. One way is a gateway for opportunities to succeed in life. Life present a lot ways to become successful you just have to know how to see them and take advantage. The way I see there is no excise for a person not to succeed in today’s society. It is too many ways a person can earn an opportunity to make a reasonable living. Life can also be viewed as an endless test of trials and tribulations. God put obstacles in our life to see how you would handle them either you would over come them or let them take you down. If you are able to over come them you can be blessed with the better things in life. I know life can be a hectic obstacle course most of the time but if you just follow in the right footsteps or create your own positive steps; everything will come together like a puzzle. Life has pieces to this puzzle scattered all around you. The pieces could be your job or a proposition someone presents you with. You just have to know how select the pieces that will fit in your puzzle. Once your puzzle is full you will have a nice and livable life. You will know when the puzzle is complete because you will have no more worries in life. This is the way I view life.
Women vs. Men in sports
Estronaut: A forum for women' s health. (1999, March). women vs. men in sports. retrieved from http://www.womenshealth.org/a/women_men_sports.htm
Author’s Credentials: -Created Gennex Healthcare and technologies
Claim: -women cannot excel in sports like men because of their physical
body strength.
Support: -women were warned by active physicians not to engage in
exercise.
-men have been actively exercising and engaging in sports for as
long as men existed.
Warrants: -men have physically stronger bodies.
-women bodies are said to not be fit for sports.
-men had almost a three hundred year head start in sports.
Exigence: -women are starting to catch up in sports such as the increasing
time in the marathon which is ten minutes behind the men.
Summary:
The women vs. men argument in sports is still going on. Women are said to not to be physically fit for sports. Physicians have informed women that they should not engage in any type of exercise. As this argument goes on women are slowly but surly gaining ground on men in sports. Evidence would be the women’s time in the marathon, which is now ten minutes behind the men and is slowly closing. Women are also starting to participate in sports that are said to be made for men only. Such sports are ice hockey, basketball, and boxing. Women just need more time to practice and exercise at these sports.

My Purpose
The way I see it my purpose in life is to be a young, black, successful man. The reason I see my purpose is to become successful is, because a lot of people see black men as useless and unintelligent. If I become successful it will show everyone that black men can do things. Even though a lot of black men have been successful people still do not believe in our race. So to make believers 
out of everyone I have to become one of the most successful black men ever. Every since I was little my family has been telling me I would be a huge inspiration on someone’s life or make a change in the world. All people in life have different purposes all the different purposes make the world function. My purpose if it reached to its highest level will be noticed all around the world. I will get a lot of notifications for my deeds and the way I will serve the people. I really do not know my full purpose in life but I know it will be a good one.

Money makes the world go around.
The quote originated from a musical play called cabaret in the 1960s. The first time heard was in the movie scarface. I thought the quote meant if we did not have money the world would not rotate. I had to sit back and think deeply about what it really meant. As I thought I came to the conclusion it really meant that money is what the makes everything in the world operate. You need money to do everything in the world; you need money to eat, pay bills, and to personal needs. You can say you need money to do any and everything in the world. This quote make a lot of people really want to get money and never stop getting.

About Me
Athletic, intelligent, and good looking would be the words that describe me. If you are wondering who I am my name is Cedric Hart a recent graduate of Therrell High School in Atlanta Ga. I was born in Atlanta Ga on February 24, 1991. Being the child of Janice and Greg Hart has been one of the best experiences ever. My child hood was wonderful my parents bought me just about everything I wanted. Not saying I was spoiled my parents just went to unbelievable limits to please me. Now that I am grown I have to be more independent and get most things that I want on my own. I had to figure out that the world was not gone wait on me I had to get out and get what I wanted. My athleticism has taken me along way and I do not think it is finished helping me succeed in life. I know now being a college student I have to get a little more discipline in the class room. Knowing that I have the ability to catch on to things quickly, becoming a student first and athlete second should not be a problem. I really think that I have a chance to become one of the most successful black men ever. Mostly all the men in family have been very successful so I do not see why I can not follow in there footsteps and become successful. I have a personal saying that I say to myself when thinking about trying new things. “How do you know it works if you never even tried it” this means how do you know you can not do it if you never try.
A major Lesson
There are really two lessons that I learned but both happened in one situation. One lesson I have learned thus far is life is short so cherish every moment of it. The other one is never get to the level were you think no one can touch you. I learned these lessons when I was seventeen years old. One night my friends and I were out at the club having a great time and these dudes start hating on use because we were in the v.i.p area having the time of our life. These dudes just kept looking and pointing at use like they were jealous or something. One of my friends said lets put more fuel on the fire by telling there girls to come and party with use. After there girls came up to the v.i.p with use and start dancing. I started to feel like I could do just about anything and have no consequences behind my actions. The night was perfect we had the women and all eyes were on use the whole time. As the night started to wind down people start to leave but the same dudes from the early that night were still their. Having the great time that we were having my friends and I paid it no attention. As it was time to walk out the club the girls gave use there numbers and we loudly walked to our car drawing all the attention to use. As we pulled off one of my friends yelled out the window “I am unstoppable” that is when it all started. Bullets started flying at our car and it was about five guys chasing our car. All the people running in the street limited use on how fast we can exit the parking lot. I saw an opening on the sidewalk and start speeding down it. We finally reached my uncles house around the corner scared and mad at the same time we was standing in the yard making sure everyone ok. No one had got shot and was real lucky we did not because they were shooting to kill. This whole situation made me learned that life is to short so cherish every moment of it and never get to the level were you think you can not be touched.
Thank you letter to all who help me become who I am
Dear, Family
This letter is to thank my family for helping me become who I am today. With out you people in my life I do not know were I would be right now. All of you kept me on track and never stop motivating me to keep pushing and to never quit. There were plenty of times when the streets tried to pull me down to get me in things that did not match my personality or the type of person I am. My mother and father particularly brought to the side and gave me talks that made me think about what I was getting into. “Life is something you should always cherish because God did not have to bless with you it”. That is something my dad always told me when I got ready to go out somewhere with my friends. That saying kept me out of trouble all the time when I was out and someone asked me to do something crazy. My whole family helped me become a well groomed and manarable young man. The way I was raised I was taught to treat people the way I wanted to be treated. This made me always respect people who respected me no matter what. When it comes down to females the men in my family taught me to never disrespect women and no matter what never put your hands on women. All these things helped me become the respectful and well mannered young man that I am now.
Sincerely,
Cedric Hart
