August Questions

My purpose this year is to get my Christmas and birthday presents, which are all games. Also I want to get at least passing grades this year also. My purpose in life is to graduate every grade all the way up to college. And I want to try and get my job as a Mechanical Engineer. I’m here because my momma and daddy wanted me to be here. –Shaun Williams

This year my purpose is to stay in school and get good grades. I want good grades because it’s the right thing to do. Also I want good grades this year so I won’t be in freshman classes next year. My purpose in life is to finish school and become something in life because that is all people do to keep them busy until they die. All people do is go to school, work, or just sit around waiting for they life to end. We all going to die soon and we need something to keep us busy until our time come.

Why do I think I am here? I really don’t know why we are here besides to reproduce. Once we are here we have to wait to die. Until that time come, we go to school or to work. The people that are homeless or struggling just wish their time will come faster and I really feel bad for them but I can’t really help them. We are all going to die one day and while we wait we occupy ourselves and try to stay happy. I really don’t know why we have to die. Why do we live just to die? –Gerahlynn Strong My purpose this year is to get good grades and don’t feed into nothing that go lead me to the wrong way. Another thing is try to get new friends that going to help me achieve my goals in life and be there for me no matter what. Also to try my best at everything and don’t give up and make my sister proud of me. My purpose this year is to show my parents that I can do it. My purpose in life is to move forward and try my best and be my best. Also to go to college and get my degree to be a lawyer, to live my best life and have a family and move out of town to be with my sister and make sure they are fine and we going to live to the top. I think I’m on this earth because God brought me here to go through something so He can show me that I’m strong and I can get through anything no matter what. Also I was put on this earth to make my mother and daddy proud even if they are not here. I think I was put on this earth to prove to me that I can do anything because I am a princess ready to blossom into a queen. –Lashanda Chatman

My purpose for this school year is to keep my grades up, stay focused on all of my work, and not to get in any drama so I can’t get suspended all year. Keeping my grades up is not hard, as long as I do my work and stay focused I will pass. My purpose in life...I don’t know. I really just live by the day and create goals and try to complete them. I think I am here because my mom really sat and thought about how great it is to have another child..her last girl. I really think she likes the way her girls are and wanted to start over the process. –Sya Powell

My purpose this year is to get through it. I hope Fortnite ends next year. At least, I hope kids become more open to better games, like Spider-man for the PS4 or something else. Seriously, not naming names but so many kids in my class cared more about Fortnite than the death of Stan Lee. It’s fine if they don’t know the great Stan Lee but when they care more about a game than the death of an icon that inspired so many (including myself), that’s when it’s a problem. There is no definitive purpose. Life is what you make of it. I guess the meaning of life is to experience it. I don’t know. Because there are times I don’t believe in God or Jesus. I mean, why make someone who has the chance not to believe in You, right? Not to offend anyone, but I don’t get how I can say “I don’t believe in God” and some else can say, “God made me do that.” –Zaid Tyson You said what’s my purpose I don’t know Do I want to be a man or legend I’ve been doing this rapping stuff since I was eleven I know tomorrow isn’t promised so I gone make the best of it I guess I love McDonalds cause life I’m loving it They calling me TreyShann right now but the world gone know me as 13EEZ I’m never gonna get a face tat, or drink lean or smoke no gas I wouldn’t be the man I am without my past.

The purpose of life is to live it like it’s last People should just get out of the past and join the future I remember when I had a dream like Michael Luther People saying they hate me won’t break me I’ve been through a lot like a old white tee How do I know if anyone ever cared about me

I think I’m the next one up I’m going to be a XXL freshmen and if I’m not I won’t give up I keep 100 like that Benjamin Frank People used to say that my music was trash I know one day I’m gone in the I8 pushing the gas Most people hate their past but I live from it My enemy I will become it And the rap game can’t turn me into a puppet –TreyShann McClain
