I would like to begin by introducing myself, my name Is David Bernard and I am part of the step-up program at FLHS. Those that are in my class know that I love to make people laugh and that's just me, I will look like an idiot just to make people laugh. I am a fan of the motto "never be afraid of the ridicule", but yet if I present a project in front of the class I start to shake and get nervous. Besides making people laugh I love to play sports and I've tried many different sports such as baseball, swimming, track, soccer, wateropolo, and countless types of martial arts. So a weekly schedule for me is packed with half of it being sports. I am French-Canadian for those who don't know and I am fluent in both French and of course English. I have an immense amount of pride for my country and do sometimes take offense to the stereotypical jokes against canadians, because they are the most stupid uncreative "cracks" that I have ever heard (besides the fact that I am in love with maple syrup, lol).
I come from a business/construction family. My father is the baby of 15, so I have 9 uncles and 5 aunts. Every single brother has been into construction since the earliest age of 15, since most of them dropped out of school, their origins come from the rural outskirts of Quebec where education was not efficient. They all went down like everyone does in life and picked themselves back up to make a comfortable living and some even better. My father did not have a high school diploma but has found his way into construction/real-estate. Now after experiencing all this and being told of life struggles and already on track to go to college, my dad expects me to do much better than he did, and the conversations that we have at home seem to be putting me on that track. I would like to go into the business/marketing realm and be an entrepreneur (risk takers for the ones who don't know what it means), I have many ideas and hope that some will work. After all that's what our country needs doesn't it.
Ayyeee, that IS what our country needs! I like your whole paragraph ABOOT liking to make people laugh. I notice most of your strange, unusual faces during class and they crack me up. Also, it's awesome that your dad puts you on that track to success. Overall, I like your post.

David, we're in the same boat. My mother had me at a young age and didn't go to college, so she has the expectation set for me to do better then she did too, like every parent has for their child.
