Cold Hard Truth

So I decided in January to start a new segment with my AVID students. I'm going to title it "The Cold Hard Truth with Mr. B." Each session I will discuss the reality of a specific issue.

I am going to brainstorm my ideas on topics here.

• You can't change other people
• Myth: Everything happens for a reason
• Not all AVID classes are created equal
• Not all AVID classes are taught by me
• Life is not fair
• Some things in life will be tougher for you than they were for me
• Drugs can cause you to do things you'll regret
• School's a Game-- Make sure you get enough points to win
• Some people still live with prejudices
• You can go your whole life without ever getting into a physical fight
• Carrying a gun will make you more likely to get shot at
• There is a reason certain money for college is out there for minority groups-- if you qualify go for it.
• Some people in your life may not be good role models; find good ones
• There is stuff to learn from your elders
• You don't have to live paycheck to paycheck
