Jennifer's experience 


Hello! My name is Jennifer Fudge. I am seventeen years old and I am a senior at Rochester Adams High School in Rochester Hills, Michigan. I plan to go to Michigan State University next Fall. I have two brothers and two sisters. There names and ages are Bill 26, Mark 25, Jamie 22, and Tracy 19. My brother Bill lives across town from me and my other brother and sisters all go to college. I went to visit my sisters last weekend, and we got into a car accident, so needless to say, I can't move my back or neck right now. I like to play sports such as golf, softball, volleyball, and football. I'm usually a very busy and stressed out person. I also have two jobs. I work for my father on the weekends, and during the week I work at a jewelry store.

My Global Village Project class just finished watching Dead Poet's Society yesterday. At first I didn't care for the movie too much, but by the end of the movie I was crying. It was a really moving story line. I enjoyed the way Mr. Keating taught his class. He made it so that kids could learn in a fun way. They were given more freedom from Mr. Keating than the other teachers gave them, therefore they liked to go to class. I cried the most when Neil shot himself. I could see it coming though. His father didn't care about anything that made his son happy, he only cared about himself. I couldn't believe Mr. Keating was blamed for it though.

My favorite part of the movie is when the boys stood on top of their desks and said, "Oh Captain, My Captain." I thought this scene showed how much gratitude the students had for Mr. Keating, because Mr. Keating actually cared about his students, unlike the other teachers at the school. After watching the movie, I realized that we need more Mr. Keatings in the world. There aren't enough teachers in the world that care as much as Mr. Keating did.
