Comments:

Nai Imaniah says "...English can create peace and unity among people in the world." all this because English has an important influency in the world so it is used and spoken by the majority of people ( this means that it is an universal language that could be use to have better relationships bettwen countries and the human kind too) and I agree on that but I also have to disagree in the fact that she in times overvalued the power of that language and I meant with this that peace and unity are achieveble by doing things and not by talking them about trough this we could actually have a better world where everyone had the same oppourtunities to succed.

Comments:

The reading was very interesting, because while I was reading I could remember all those years that I spent in high school. Althought they weren´t my best years, and who has not passed bad moments in high school?, I always think about them and how they made an impact in me as a person. I mean how in some way those years and specially my senior year helped me to mature and to developed social skills that later were very helpful. Moreover the senior year of high school have an special appeal because its always has the signature of been the most significant and remembered for high school students.
