Baby Borrowers

In the T.V show "Baby Borrowers" there was 5 teenage couples who for the first time was living with each other. A majority of the teens thought they were ready to be parents, yet all the couples went through many ups and downs during there experience of being parents. As the babies arrived the couples relationship had changed dramatically as each couple had been in a argument about who would stay home and take care of the baby or they was frustrated at the baby crying. Going into the show I don't think these teens expected the harsh reality of being a parent. They realized that taking care of a child wasn't only changing diapers or feeding them there bottle. The couple I think changed the most was Alicea and Cory because before the babies had arrived there relationship was strong an they thought they were ready because both of there parents had them at a young age. As the episode went on Alicea started getting irritate at the baby because he wasn't eating as a result of that she took her anger out on Cory. If my partner was to get pregnant our relationship would most likely get stronger because I would never want to leave her and I would make sure everything was taking care of so it puts no burden her. Parenthood affects a couple relationship because at the end of the day it doesn't matter about the arguing or the disagreement the parents have to make sure that your child is taking care of.

Commander & Chief

President Barack Obama, Americas new commander and chief, to me is a symbol of progresive change in our country. Obama's symbolism is depicted very well through the "War and Freedom" quilt that displayed many historical men and women in service. Obama inspires the youth community to make it known that anything is possible. This possibility became evident on January 20th, when Barack Obama was Inaugurated into the white house as the first African American president he changed not only America but the entire world. The historical figures on the quilt proves that as Obama goes through his journey as president he remembers the many others great leaders before him that strived to make a difference. One figure i recall is an African american woman in the army. Her presence on the quilt, near Obama, is one example of a being that Obama respects and looks up too as he continues his conquest of changing our nation. Furthermore Obama is not only a symbol of change but a symbol of America as one nation. I draw this conclusion because in addition to the historical figures, the quilt had a copy of the constitution of the United States woven into it.

Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant is an amazing NBA player and is an inspiration to others on and off the court. He made me want to try the same shots he was making in my backyard, yet I didn’t leave until I made the shots. Kobe showed how he is a family man and was able to take criticism when he was accused of felony charges in 2000. Being charged of rape Kobe image of a clean cut person and player had been tarnished throughout the league. Going into other arenas Kobe was booed but managed to maintain being a great player by scoring 40 points or more in eight straight games. During these trails and tribulation Kobe stuck by his wife and daughter buying her a 4 Million dollar engagement ring. Being only the second person to enter the NBA draft after High School. Others thought he was making a huge mistake skipping college but when they seen the success he was having others started following in his footsteps. Since Kobe there have been 30 other high school players who think they could repeat Kobe success.
