Special Blog Post

For school we had to respond to a video clip from the movie The Pursuit of Happiness with Will Smith in it.
       In this video a father (Will Smith) is playing basketball with his son. His son is doing a good job but the father was never a really good player so he tells his son that he shouldn't seek a future with basketball be cause HE was below average so his son shouldn't waste time playing too much basketball. Afterwards his son gets discouraged so the father tells him don't let anybody tell you- you can't do something, always go after your dream and keep it alive. What this boys father said afterwards was really inspirational, if you ever had a dream don't let people tell you that you have no chance of pursuing that dream. Always go after it and maybe someday that dream will come true.
       I think this video relates to school today because many kids crush other peoples dreams without even realizing it, maybe even teachers might do that too. To stop this make sure you think before you say something that might crush someones dreams in life, even if you are just joking arounfd it can still affect that person forever. Especially teachers, many students look up to you as a role model so if you don't think they can do it, then they will believe it's true.
