When people leave me

People leave throughout my whole lifetime
They leave like I meant nothing
The years I spent with them
Are all just in my memory

When people leave
It leaves me to wonder
Did I ever mean anything to them?
If those times,
The times I consider my best times
Were even just a thought left in their brain

When people leave
It has me thinking about everyone I'm surrounded by
Will they leave as we'll?

When people leave
It leaves me scared I will go through that pain once more
It has me re think everything
Everyone
Every situation
Every good time

When people leave
I question my own strength
I know I'm strong
No one will ever understand
When people leave me

Book Review

 Michael Laser's book, "6-321" amazes me and makes me wonder what our life would be like if something like what happened to them when they were in 6th grade, happened to us. This book is a very good book, it makes me wonder about the past and question the future.

  One of the main characters in my book is Marc Chaikins. He is just a normal 6th grade student, going through anything another 6th grade student would be going through, drama, heartbreak, and bad grades. One day, just as any other ordinary day Marc decides to tell Lilly Wu how he feels about her. He has to compete with this other guy who also likes Lilly Wu as well as him, he has to overcome many struggles with not just that, but also his family problems he's going through. His parents are going through a divorce, and he has to cope with that and go to school and see the girl he's in love with be with another guy. "Go ahead mom, if you aren't happy leave Dad, I would rather see you smile every day than cry." This is is showing how Marc is being considerate of his mothers feelings and showing how he is a strong young man, and puts others before himself. I like the style this book was written because it always has me wondering whats going to happen next, will she say forget you to the other guy and be with Marc? Or is she going to play with both of their heads and lead them on? This book has a little humor in it as well as sacrifice. The main setting is located at his school, specifically in his classroom 6-321. The setting of this book effected the characters because they were inside of a school, so therefor, they didn't have the opportunity to do things that they would OUTSIDE of a school.

  I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to take a time travel back to their past, and feel the feelings inside that Marc himself is going through. I would give this book a 3 out of 5 stars, just because at the end of my book it's like the plot didn't change at all. So I was stuck with the same plot twist as I have been reading from the beginning.

Current Connection 3.2

    Many believe that men are more able to work for the FBI agency and get the tasks done than women. Why? Because the tasks that you have to accomplish and get done are harder than normal jobs that you would see such as being a cop, or a parole officer, etc. According to the "Federal Bureau Of Investigation" the FBI have jobs such as protecting the US from terrorist attacks, protecting Civil rights, and protect the United States against cyber-based attacks and high tech crimes. 

   Being in the FBI field you have to travel, A LOT. Women are more than likely not willing to travel, either because they have a family they don't want to leave, or they feel safer being in one spot known as 'home'. Men don't have a problem traveling because they know it has to be done. Someone's got to do it, being a man you're dominate. You don't have a problem with doing things, even when people tell you that you cant. 



More men than women enter this field knowing this is going to be their permanent job. Their feeling of achievement and knowing that they have helped our country, and our fellow citizens in some way. 


  Relating all this back to Gender Roles, and how it plays a part in all this, serving our country, yes anyone can do it. Male or female, but when it comes to these tasks such as fighting terrorists, do we really think its for women? Do we think that women are just putting their selves in harms way? Like I said before, women need to stick to Nursing and taking care of people like their good at, and men need to stick to the harder things, such as protecting our country, and taking all the bad guys out. I'm saying this about women in the FBI field, not women in the Army.

Current Connection 3.1

                                                            FBI AGENTS

 Being in the Criminal Justice field is more for men than women, breaking it down more specifically to the FBI field will show us how it's dangerous and requires more power of men than women. The FBI has more job openings for men, and has a bigger impact on men than women because we as men, love the feeling of power and knowing that we have successfully saved a life, or protected others from danger. Why? Because men have more of a role and a natural doing of protecting the ones they care about, or anyone in their community.

  Men have more of a better chance at getting the jobs in the criminal field, according to the article "FBI Careers", you may work on dangerous cases, such as kidnapping, terrorism, extortion, cyber crime etc. Women are more to not go into these jobs because of their ability of what they do. Most of women look at their selves as 'needed' so their not going to get themselves into a dangerous situation. Men accept the fact that they have to be 'The Man' in most cases and suck it up and do what they have to do. Take the war for an example, back when it first started men were the ONLY gender to enter. Why? because the women jobs were to stay at home, take care of the cooking, cleaning, and children. Men have the stronger ability physically & mentally.

  However, not all the women look at themselves this way. According to the same article "FBI Careers" some women go into this field as Police Officers, or Lawyers, or Judges. (Things that are as harsh) The qualifications to be a FBI agent is a bit much. You must be at least 23 years of age, but younger than 37. You need to have at least 3 years of professional work in the field of Criminal Justice. It's a long, tiring process. The article says you get sent to one of the toughest camps in Virginia to undergo training. So, back to my hypothesis; most women wouldn't do that, its hard work, long process, and requires alot of hard physical work.

All FBI Special Agents kick off their career at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia for 20 weeks of intensive training at one of the World’s greatest law enforcement training facilities. Throughout their time at the FBI Academy, trainees reside on-campus and take part in a variety of training activities. Classroom time is spent studying a wide variety of scholastic and investigative subjects. The FBI Academy program also includes demanding training in physical fitness, defensive tactics, practical application exercises, and the use of firearms.


  However, with all this coming to a conclusion; Gender Roles have a huge impact on this situation. Men are going to end up going into the field that other men are in, or have gone into, while women do the same. It's going to take one person to make a change, and that person may just in-fact be me. No one wants to be judged their whole life in their work place, but you have to think...Is it worth being MISERABLE the rest of you're life at the workplace you work at just because you were scared of what 'Others whose opinions are INVALID' had to say? Nope, not at all!
