My Perspective

My perspective on the documentary  is that you shouldn’t  ever give up even if it’s hard.  I also think the point of view is that  you  should just keep going and not let anyone bring you down.  I think that the point of you the documentary is trying to give the viewers is to always try even if people put you down or treat you differently than other people. I also feel like the perspective is to show people life does get better and it doesn’t alway’s stay bad.

The Wisdom of a 3rd Grade Dropout

Something that really stood out to me in this video is that his dad “the third grade dropout” learned how to write, read all by himself etc. That really stood out to me because he was so smart even though he just taught himself. Also something that really stood out me is that they never give up even at their lowest. I think that people need to learn how keep going even though it is really had but sometimes you have to keep trying.  Another thing that really hit me and stood out to me is that when he said that I don’t mind if you aim high and miss but I’m going to have a real issue if you aim and hit. That really hit me because what he said was very true if you aim and miss at least you tried but if you aim low and miss it’s like you never tried.

To continue, another thing I learned is to never give up . I learn that now giving up isn’t going to do you any better all it’s doing is getting things worse if you give up. The dad never gave up on learning . So nobody should give up on anything even if it’s hard. The 3rd grade dropout never gave up reading , writing etc. Do you know how hard it must have been for him , I’m pretty sure it was hard.  So if he can do it you can do it. Lastly, that is what I learned out of this video.

 

 

Digital Citizenship

I learned that you should keep things very private and to yourself because you don’t know what people can do to your stuff if it isn’t private. I also learned to respect one another like you would want to be treated. I learned not to not copy things from the internet because that is considered plagiarism and you can get copyrighted and possibly arrested because of plagiarism. I learned to make safe choices when it comes to social media or just anything like that because if you do something that is wrong it would go all over the internet.  I also learned about Digital footprint , digital footprint means to get information from someone and just keeps going around etc. Thats what I learned about all those topics.
