Hi Martez,
I do want to help you. :-) It is an honor to be your teacher. As for easy to pass... well, I will do what I can. Come, try, and do the homework and you should be just fine. Some of the larger assignments (essays/projects) will be harder. You can earn some extra credit for participation like we talked about in class.
Reach out if you need anything.

After reading both articles, i realized that the key facts they share are that they talked about how he lacked in a college degree, how he was homeless along with his son, and how he had a troubled life as an adolescent. The key factors that differed, were that the BBC explained his job as a stock broker, while the Success article stated what he actually sold as a stock broker. Another difference I observed was that the BBC elaborated more about the struggles Gardner had while on his journey, the Success article did not.

The main thing I liked about the passage is that it showed that he did not give up, he went out asked the people who were doing good for themselves and followed along. This is a very inspirational passage, i feel as if this passage can be a confidence and self esteem booster to the ones that are struggling.

I feel like the both articles were kinda the same there was no difference it talked about the man and son but there was a man that wanted to help and provide for him.

I liked the articles because they was inspirational and shows you that being homeless is not the end of the road something can happen and your life can turn all the way around. He said my mom inspired him that's good because mom always inspiring there kids and I like that

After reading both stories I see the comparison where he wants to identify the fact that he was once homeless and knows the struggle. In the first story he starts off by saying how hard it was to find food and shelter as written in paragraph 4-5. He had no guidance growing up with an abusive step dad. Unbelievable he became great at what he did to make it to become a millionaire.
The second story is similar but not as detailed as the first. He now travels to 50 countries every year to preach, lecture, and encourage people all over the world. He spends 200 days helping other do their best to strive the where they want to be .

After taking the time to read both articles, i know for sure anything can happen. This man grew up in poverty and raised his son as a homeless man and still found his way. The first article just talked about his first son but the second article was different and mentioned his other children. As stated in the second paragraph in the first article he was a homeless low budget trainee. They also said that in the second article. Both articles talked about how he's a speaker and wants to give to the homeless as much as possible because he knows their struggles. He's also a millionaire and very sucessful due to his ambition to achieve his goals. I liked these articles because it shows me where hard work can take me one day, even if someone doesn't have much they can be whatever they want. I thought these articles were going to be boring but after reading them genuinely I really liked them.
