In the text it says " as far as i'm concerned , kids who failed in school were losers , they couldn't get jobs .

Education is the only way out for many young children in Newark, NJ at the time. "University High School is your key, son. I'm not going to let you miss this chance." ]]> 2019-05-08 13:08:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lwarren11/qsvikxmzzmx3/wish/358021775 Keven R. https://padlet.com/lwarren11/qsvikxmzzmx3/wish/358021827 The authors suggest that education is important since it could get you a chance to a higher education that could give you a higher chance of pursuing your dreams.

George supports this by saying "University High School opened a door for me that led to the possibility of achieving my dreams."

Sampson supports this by saying
"Kids who failed in school were losers. they couldn't get jobs, had no chance of going to college, and had no hope for their future."]]> 2019-05-08 13:08:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lwarren11/qsvikxmzzmx3/wish/358021827 Hector https://padlet.com/lwarren11/qsvikxmzzmx3/wish/358022131 Sampson doesn't want to go the better school because he wants the respect that the older kids get. He listens to what his mother says and goes to take the test for the university. He meets a kid with braces (George) and while taking the test, Sampson notices that the kid is speeding through his test. Sampson doesn't want to lose so he speeds up. They both finished at the same time. I think they want people to really use their education for good.]]> 2019-05-08 13:09:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lwarren11/qsvikxmzzmx3/wish/358022131 Yair https://padlet.com/lwarren11/qsvikxmzzmx3/wish/358022323 The author seems to suggest that an education and doing well in school is very important.

It also told us that there was competition for Sampson because him and another kid finished at the same time. How this is important is because in showing this it showed that if you work hard in school and focus and can open up big opportunities. ]]> 2019-05-08 13:11:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lwarren11/qsvikxmzzmx3/wish/358023599 Natalie & Rachelle https://padlet.com/lwarren11/qsvikxmzzmx3/wish/358023686 The author suggest that is really important. It mentions that Sampson's mother didn't have the opportunity to finish school, since she had to drop out of school because of the death of her mother.

Sampson thought the education was pointless because he didn't know anyone that went to college but, many people struggle to get into college and many people had to drop out of school, so many people did not have the chance to go to college. That's why Sampson's mother wants him to go to college, to do better than them, the people who didn't go to college, to be successful.]]> 2019-05-08 13:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lwarren11/qsvikxmzzmx3/wish/358023850 Neya https://padlet.com/lwarren11/qsvikxmzzmx3/wish/358023859 The author is telling us that education could take us paces.
