Obstacles of Native Americans going to college:

1. Money
2. Grades
3. People thinking they can’t do it
4. Thinking if nobody they’re close to did it, they don’t have to
5. Not wanting to leave their families

I liked the activity we did with Western U. I liked learning more about one of my tribes. Today we had to choose an animal depending on the situation. When the situation was what we thought we were when we were scared and I choose a rabbit because I tend to run away instead of face my fears.

College is important because:

• To get a better job
• Move out
• Be a role model for my younger family members
• I’ll get another experience besides high school
• I might meet new people from different cultures or backgrounds
• I want to become a nurse or psychologist

Today I didn’t mind writing, I usually don’t like it.

My name is Thelma Wall. I am from the Blackfeet Nation and Lummi Nation. I will be a senior in the fall, after high school I plan on becoming a marine. After going into the marines I want to go to college but I haven’t decided what for or where.

Today was a good day. Today I did more writing than I usually do and I don’t particularly like writing. I liked the activity we did with heather and I liked the math and pretty much everything.

Today was a great second day. I enjoyed the math and making a fool of myself dancing.

My name is Thelma. I am Blackfeet and Lummi.
