         What I need to do is take my ACT and SAT before my senior year. I need to do that as soon as possible and I have already found the nearest dates for them, so I will be taking those soon! The nearest time that I am available to take one is in early September and I would be getting my scores back in early October. I am not academically where I need to be, I do not have that great of grades and my GPA is a 2.3 so I need to work extremely hard on my grades. I am going to Navarro Midlothian so that really suits me well and we will see what life has for me then when I am done with that.

The US school system has a lot more opportunities than the country of Ireland. You are a lot more likely to get a good job with the US school system than you are in Ireland. College has a lot more education and economic opportunities for people that live in the US. Ireland did not have nearly as many as economic opportunities than the US.
In my opinion, yes a college degree is necessary and worth the money and time. Mainly because you are way more likely to be successful in life and provide a good lifestyle for your family, (if you decide to have one.) The time and effort you put into a college degree can and most likely will give you a better job than a lot of Americans that don't have a college degree. Some people do not have to have a college degree to be successful. There's a lot of people who don't have a degree in college who are very successful, but you are a lot more likely to get a good paying job and be successful with a degree. Your just better off in life with a college degree, but yes having a college degree is well worth it and is totally necessary.

Over my spring break, I mostly just hung out with my friends. Two buddies of mine and I built a suppressor for our .22 rifle. The suppressor was awesome because it made the rifles sound like a pellet gun. All the other time of my break I mostly just partied and hung out around bonfires. The last day of my spring break, my older brother and all our friends and our girlfriends went to TopGolf and had a good time there.

4. Todd's worst fear is having no meaning in life. In the first day of class he writes Carpe Diem on his paper which means he wishes he could contribute in meaningful things in life. His insecurity gets the best of him. He eventually overcomes this fear at the end when he stood up on the desk and yelled, "O captain, My captain".

Neil's worst fear is his father's disapproval of what he wants to do with his life. Neil tries to prove to his father that he's good at acting and that it's what he wants to do and ends up getting shut down by his father and then cowardly killed himself. So no, he did not overcome his fear.

Knox's worst fear is his lover, Chris, not liking him. His whole world is her and doesn't think about anything but her. Knox eventually overcomes this fear when he knows that she likes him back after their first date.

Charlie's worst fear is not getting the attention that he wants or needs. He has to learn the hard way that his actions that he was making effect him and give him consequences. Charlie does not overcome this fear because of his smart plan at the end in front of everyone to the principle.
3. Mr. Keating is mostly a static character throughout the movie. He keeps his ways of teaching from the beginning to the end of the movie. The only part when he changed was at the end when he was feeling sad and not excited at any point after Neil cowardly shot himself.

2. The person who did not really change at all was Pitts. He was static all movie because he didn't talk much at all and was pretty shy and he stayed that way. The only thing that he did that was a little changing was when he stood up on the desk with his friends.
