Responsibility

I just had a phone call from a student who won't be in class today and I'm happy she called to tell me but sad that she won't be coming. This made me think about 'responsibility'. People have a lot of responsibilities in their life; family, work, friends, school. Responsibility feels like it gives me a lot of pressure or 'stress'. I wonder if people have always felt this pressure from responsibility or if it is something that is new. Do you ever think about the responsibilities you have? Do you feel 'stress' because of these responsibilities?

Dance styles

I just had my birthday so you know that I'm getting older. This video on 'youtube' shows all the dance styles I've know. Is dance a part of your culture?

• work
• school
• family
• fashion
• free time
• peer pressure
• stress
• future
• internet
• music
• movies

First time!

We would like to try something different in the next 10 weeks. We will post a variety of things that we think show 'real life'. We would love to know how our real life compares to yours. Feel free to add your comments or tell us about articles or pages or videos that are part of your 'real life'.
