HW 10/23

In class we continued discussing things that effected the lives of major political leaders. We talked about Mr. Schick's past. He graduated in three and a half years. We brushed up on the current events in Washington DC. I do, however, miss talking about Socrates. He was a lot of fun to talk about and study. A lot of his quotes I still struggle to understand. I also need to take school more seriously. My license, my social life, and my future in general are riding on it. I'm still waiting for the day I see Mr. Schick ride up on a Harley!
