In my family , college is talked about constantly. My mom and dad always instilled in me that college was the way to go and without it I would be struggling and living from pay check to pay check. My parents never went to college and it was never talked about . But they always made a way for me and my brother . They made sure if they didn’t have it , we would always be secured . I think college to them is a ticket to freedom and having a lot of money . But to me, I always looked at it as a choice , not a requirement. I commend all parents for wanting their children to be successful but forcing a child to do something will never be the way . 
 I always said you can want something so bad for a person but it’s up to the person to want the same as you . It’s okay to be a cheerleader but take in consideration of the kids well being . By that I mean mental health , stress , and just making sure their head is in the right place . I’ve always felt kind of pressured into doing a certain major because I think my family always wanted to continue the tradition of being a nurse in today’s society. I love helping people, but if it wasn’t for my parents picking my major and wanting me to be a nurse , I would have been a psychologist or maybe even a writer .  Education as a public good, to me, means that the public can be beneficial when it comes to schools. I think they should benefit more because we’re still paying a lot of money just for a piece of paper but that argument will go on forever and there’s no winning . I feel the same way after reading this short blog because I took consideration into both blog and novel I’ve read . 

I think Sean Morris had a knowledgeable post about the COVID 19 virus. I don’t think anyone was physically ready for the outcome and outbreak the virus has caused. Many students wont experience proms, graduations, and most of all, no real memories. Its sad we waited so late to do something about the virus. This could have been handled better if we took it serious earlier.

Many teachers are being forced to work from home and this is probably a shift because most teachers aren’t equipped to move everything to online learning. Most teachers I’ve came across are more hands on and better face to face. Sometimes its too much information to juggle to try to move everything to online. Not to mention some professors had to make a new syllabus because of this. The K-12 community are not in school for the remaining of the school year, college students were forced to leave dormitories, and college seniors aren’t even having a graduation. I also feel like because students, parents, and teachers are being forced to work from home, internet access should be unlimited until the crisis is over. The positive side of this crisis is that many churches (including mines) are giving families tissue, lysol, paper towels, hand sanitizers, and groceries to families in need. Also essential workers are being rewarded with mini bonuses, vacation time usage, and a increase on pay due to the virus. Last but not least, most families are being rewarded stimulus checks for this virus. Although it may seem like the whole world is on lock down, staying positive during this crisis is the best route to go. If we can wash our hands, stay out of large crowds (until the epidemic is over), and be remain in the house, hopefully they can find the problem, lower the cases, and we can finally get back to our normal lives.
