Responding To Peer’s Draft

1. I liked how you said: You don’t want to be in a cycle of just expecting a paycheck and living off of it.

2. I got this from reading your work: College is not for everyone. Some people could just become successful after high school. I also got that life is short and short of tricky so its good to enjoy and try new things because it may change your life for the better. In the end its just you like it was when you were born so make the best out of it by doing what you love to do and by making connections.

3. I found this part interesting : When you talked about how the teacher said those of you that want to listen to what I’m saying could pay attention but those of you that don’t can use your phones quietly. It reminded me of a personal experience I had when I was a in middle school.

4. I got confused here because: There was no part in your draft where I got confused,

5. I wanted to know more about: The setting because it will help more with visualizing what I’m seeing.

One quote that stands out to me is: Create other sources off income that colleges don’t teach you because at the end of the day  college just teaches you the skills and knowledge of a topic that you pick to learn. They don’t teach you how to get a job and invest your money and in some instances they don’t teach you how to do your own taxes. He told us the only way we could be financially free is if you make connections and learn new skillset that could make you a lot of money.
