When Rameck gets arrested for having the fishing knife, his dream almost ended. How does this experience affect Rameck? How would an unfortunate event like this affect you? Would you have given up?
When Rameck was arrested for having the fishing knife, his dream almost because the possession of a deadly weapon is a felony. This experience affect Rameck tremendously because with a felony on his record, he would not be able to pass the medical-licensing process as an adult.
An unfortunate event like what Rameck did would affect me a lot because of what Rameck have done, it could have ruined his life and won't be able to pursuit his dreams as a doctor. But lastly, Rameck was free to go when the judge decided to throw the case out when the prosecutor lost the evidence.
This experience affected Rameck immensely. He was extremely worried and for a while, he was not able to think about anything else. The charges pressed against him were serious and if he was found guilty, his dream would have not been possible anymore. A felony is a serious charge and it would have made it impossible for him to uphold is end of the pact.
Personally, this would have a serious impact on me. I would be devastated if this happened to me. I would not be able to think about much else besides the unjust arrest. However, I do not think I would have given up because persistence is what keeps dreams alive.
The experience affected Rameck worse than I would have thought. Rameck couldn't deal with the hardships this could bring him. His dream would have been destroyed and he probably wouldn't know what to do to get back up. He was upset but he didn't even know he had the fishing knife, let alone that he could get in trouble for it. If something like that even slightly happened to me, I would be devastated. I want to be a doctor like Rameck and if that happened- my dreams would be down the drain! I would be heartbroken and I don't know if I would give up.
I definitely agree with what Eric is saying. The charges against Rameck were extremely serious because he could have lost everything he had worked for. If he was guilty he wouldn't have been able to put up his fair share of work with the pact. I also love and agree that you said, "..persistence is what keeps dreams alive." I think that is true but sometimes people just give up and its hard to get back up. Especially because Rameck worked so hard and it would have just disappeared.
All those hours of studying and hard work at Secton Hall and Medical school would be worth nothing if he had this as a felony on his files. That meant he wouldn't be able to graduate. I think I'd have a heart attack if this happened, really. I wouldn't be able to handle it at first but then I'd probably get myself together and push myself to not give up.
I agree what with Eric said because hes putting it down plain and simple. And if Rameck went through stuff before I wouldn't think he would of given up just because of this.
This experience that Rameck had to go through was terrible. He was scared and worried about the felony of having a fishing knife on him. The charges that were put against him were very serious and remarkable. If these charges get held against him and Rameck is found to be guilty, then all the hard work that Rameck went through and still is going through will never pay off. The hard effort that he put out into his school life and showing people that he has changed from his life at home, will devastated him. A felony is a dangerous and serious thing that can ruin your life forever.
If I was in Rameck's position, I would not no what to do. I would be so scared that I would probably start making my self sick. I do not think that I would of have given up, because given up on myself would have just made me feel worse.
I agree with Eric. Having a felony against you is no joke. All the effort that Rameck has showned his teachers and family memebers, will never pay off if Rameck was found guily. Thank god that the evidence was lost because if the evidence was found, then he probably would never be able to persue his dream.
I do understand that sometimes, people do become discouraged, and it is hard to get back up. That is one thing I like about all of the three doctors. They each had persistence. Despite the fact they faced cultural differences when the went to Seton Hall and all the negative things that happened to them, such as previous arrests, they recovered, proving and exhibiting the fact that they had strong resilience and persistence. I believe that is why they were able to fulfill all they're dreams.
I agree with Giana and Eric. Ramecks experience was terrible, and his charges were extremley serious. He put too much effort in his work for this to happen. If Rameck was found guilty, all of his dreams would be destroyed, and he does'nt deserve that. Also, experiencing this would make me depressed, and I wold be terrified. However, If i was in his position I wouldn't give up, considering how much he succeeded in life. I wouldn't want all my hard work to go to waste. I would try my best to feel confident and to think positive, because pursuing dreams is like a dream come true.
The experience Remeck had gave him a lot of frustration because his dream could have ended. He would have been unable to finish medical school with a degree because he would have had a criminal record in his file. The pact he made with Sam and George could have been broken.
An experience like this would have affected me badly I would have been frighten to drive for a while or been a little depress. I would have not given up because what was the point of doing all that hard work. It is better to be optimistic about the future.
Remeck seems beside himself with the felony of caring a fishing knife. He was scared that his dream would end, and all his hopes and dreams would have collapsed. The reason why is because a felony goes on your personal record, and hospitals want to see a trouble free record when recruting new doctors.
If I were caught committing any type of felony I would also be beside myself. I would be scared, worried, and unsure as to what my punishment would be. Of course if I didn't get caught in the act of committing a crime, I wouldn't feel as bad (depending on the situation.)But if it had any effect on my future success, I would try my best to avoid any problems.
I agree with your view of Remeck when he was charged and how he reacted. A felony is a serious charge, and he was about to loose everything. I couldn't explained it better myself. I would also be freaked out if I were charged with something that would effect how my future would turn out.
i definetly agree with Maia, if i was in Remeck's shoes, i would be devastated. I want to be a phychologist and that would affect me to if i would've been caught with the same felony. He did the right thing by keep going and following his dream.
Rameck experience of getting arrested for having a fishing knife had made him very hopeless of his dream of becoming a doctor. It also had made him very devastated of almost seeing that his career is going to disappear when he thinks of himself innocent. It would effect me because I would feel hopeless because of the effort and the hard work I have put to go this far and just ended in a terrible way. I would personally keep on trying and find a solution to this problem and Rameck was lucky enough to find there was hope that his dream may come true.
I agree with Ariana because we both were saying that Rameck has put most of his effort and study to become a doctor and he was really close of pursuing his dream and all of a sudden there were hardships that almost stop him of pursuing his dream. It must be really hard for him to handle all of the reality in front of him and has to face it by himself.
When Remeck was caught with the fishing knife it devastated him because he would never reach his dream and never experience the feeling of accomplishment and for reaching his goal. Luckily the judge decided to drop the case, but if it was me I would have given up hope on the spot because there was no chance of getting out of that problem. Although I say this I do believe in hope so maybe holding on a bit doesn't sound so bad.
I agree with Yosua that he agrees with Ariana because he worked hard so if you really want to become a doctor then hold on to that little string of hope because you may be saved such as in Remeck's case.
This affected Rameck greatly. If you are caught with a deadly weapon it is a felony. Rameck would have never been able to became a doctor with a felony on his record. He was so worried about this that he couldnt do anything else but think about this. If this happened to me personally I would be so devastated. After all the hard work that I put into it. I would probably give up.
Frank I can't believe you'd give up. I mean if you really want this to happen, you should go for it even if something like this got in your way, quitter.
I agree with what Joe is saying. It is a very tough job job trying to keep a perfect record and something as small like that would have a major impact on your resume. There is no possible way that I can guarantee that I won't get a felony if Rameck has got one for something so minor. However, if something like that did happen, I would not give up just because of it. Like getting a bad grade, I can easily make it up, no matter how hard it would be.
When Rameck got arrested for having the fishing knife the effect it had on him was extremely gruesome. Since This is a weapon he would be charged with a felony which could prevent a lot of dreams and goals he had planned for the future. With a felony on his record he could be unable to graduate which would've been almost like a waste because all the hard work he's ever put in would have gone right out the window basically.Fortunately the case was dismissed for the lack of evidence.
An unfortunate event like this would effect me horribly. I would be so devasted and hurt badly. I wouldn't never give up though because i believe in fighting until the end especially if i'm innocent.
when Rameck got arrest for having the fishing knife that had effect his life such as his goal in future and effect his dreams.. It will be with a felony on his record for the rest of his life. If i got caught in this situation it would extremely horrible. Because it will look bad and you might not able to apply for any job or get into good college too. but im not going to quit in any situation even though it bad. Im a still work toward it. No matter what!
i disagree with Frank because why would you give up something that you work so hard to get or want to accomplish it. you might have a chance of your hard work. & probably get what you need. Yes, you probably be worry or thinking there would be no chance of it. But i think there always chance in the world.
i agreed with Frank, i would have gave up if i was in Rameck's shoe because if you got caught with a deadly weapon, you will be charged with a felony. Rameck wouldnt have been able to became a doctor with a felony on his reputation and he was so worried that his dream will be crushed but with luck, the judge dropped the charge and gave him another chance.
When Rameck was arrested on a felony charge for having a fishing knife in his car and "interference with a police officer",he thought his life and yearns for a professional career were completely over without a second chance. He was so distraught over what happened on that early morning, he lost sleep and constantly played back the events in his mind. Rameck was in true pain and thought he found himself in a roadblock. That experience affected Rameck that it hurt him: he knew that is he had a stain on his record, he would never be passed to practice medicine. But thankfully, God was on his side and the case was dismissed and Rameck was let go.
If this happened to me, I would be in shambles!! But first, I know that I must not give up hope and continue to trust God, just as Rameck did in the courthouse. Personally, I believe God was on his side, and if, God forbid, this would happen to me, I would continue to trust in God.
Rameck was extremely devastated after it happened. His dreams and all of his hard work was about to be over and he felt really scared. His dreams were definitely affected. The felony for having the fishing knife would just flush his dreams down the toilet because it was a serious problem. But fortunately the judge did drop the case and it didn't have his life ruined because they didn't have any evidence. If I was caught in this moment, I would be really scared to death. I hate getting caught, I would have this feeling inside where I know the problem is going to get worse and it feels like I just want to give up, but giving up is never the right thing to do. I would have fought through it and just believe in myself. I would fight on for as long as possible.
the incident rameck had with the fishing knife was extremely effective on his part he was charged with a felony which goes on your record. Because of this Ramecks whole future couldve been destroyed and thrown down the drain, but Rameck didnt let that hold him back. He was worried about it all the time but still didnt back down. Luckily, there wasnt enough evidence so the case was dismissed. If something like this happened to me I would be extremely upset and I wouldnt know what to do. I dont think iwould give up thiugh because i worked so hard and wouldnt want all that work to go down the drain.
I agree with Chi Chi 125.314159...%,and I disagree with Frank 132%! Chi Chi is right. Why would you want to just give up on something that you work so hard on for a long time when there is a chance in this ever-growing world? I would never give up for the reason I posted before: God will be on my side just like he was for Rameck. It is just a matter of opinion and a belief in a greater power.
I agree with Hannah. Remeck's incident was very unfortunate. I would be freaking out if I was ever in a situation like that. I wouldn't give up on something I worked so hard for either because it would be a waste. All my hard work for nothing..
This experience effects Rameck because he wanted to not be like the other people that he grew up with. Rameck wanted to be his own person and not follow the other bad examples that his peers were giving him. Rameck getting arrested also makes his name not as good as it was before because he now has a record. This would have affected me in the same way it affected Rameck because I have never been arrested so it would make me look like a bad person. I would not have given up on my dream to be my own person in life.
This Experience affects Rameck because it will be on his record .. it will make him look bad/give him a bad reputation. All the hard work he did would be a complete waste of his time. This event would affect me terribly because I would just give up, I would be so disappointed in myself and ashamed, that I would be so stupid to do that. But, eventually I would pick myself up and work on it, try to get back up and pull myself together, to do the right thing for myself. I couldn't imagine how bad he felt when being caught, basically everything he did could have been a waste of time.
I agree with Maia because Rameck was definitely not ready for such a turn in his life. He was a good kid trying to make good for his life with such bad examples all around him. I think that Rameck just got caught up with the wrong things at the wrong time.
I agree with Giana Anastasio becuase I would not know what to do in this situation. I would feel helpless, and I would not know what to do. All I would be able to do is just be "sick about it". I would be lost and not know where to turn for help or advice.
I agree with Jonna. Simple things like this can ruin what you worked so hard and long for. He didn't want to be like the other kids in the neighborhood and that is why he went to college so that he could get away from those people and the things that could happen to him and now with this, it was like he was back with them kids in his neighborhood he tried to stay away from.
It really put a downer on him. He was extremely worried if he was going to be able to uphold his end of the pact. This sat in the back of his mind for a while and he couldn't really do anything besides thinking of the fish saw. If something like this happened to me i wouldn't really be able to do anything. It would sit in the back of my mind for a while until i would drive myself crazy.
I completely agree with Eric, being convicted of a felony is extremely serious. It would have definetly ruined his chances of being what he wanted to be.
The experience effected Rameck greatly. If proven guilty he would not be able to do what he had dreamed. He was extremely worried about it and thought about it constantly.
If something like this had happen to me, I would have been devastated. If i had worked so hard to become someone and then all the sudden it could all be on the line, I honestly do not know what I would do.
I agree with Maia. Remeck wasn't ready for something like this to happen. He was trying to make something of himself and this had all happened at the wrong time and to the wrong person!
When he was found with the knife Ramneck almost lost hope. If he were to be found guilty, he Couldve lost all chances at a future in his chosen profession. A loss like this would destroy his whole life.
If this were to happen to me, I don't know what I would have done. Things happen at a moments notice and things may go awry. I would try to remain pensive and look on the bright side. If I can't be a doctor because of a mishap, I might be able to do something else.
This experience affected Rameck tremendously. The charges pressed against him were serious and if he was found guilty, his dream would have not have been likely anymore. A felony is a serious charge, and would have made his promise kinda hard to keep
There would be a devastating impact on me if I was in this predicament. I would be pretty nervous about what my family would say. And some people's point of view about me would probably change.
@ Erica, I agree with you, I would have never been able to think what I might have done. People get desperate, and we may be backed into a corner in which we have no recollection of any sanity we may have left. So maybe it's better not to ponder such scenarios because then the paranoia we engulf ourselves in may prevent us from pursuing such dreams.
I agree with you 100% because I feel like I put a lot of time and energy into my school work and I wouldn't know what to do if I was in Rameck's situation. When I grow up or graduate high school, I plan to go off to college and get a degree and one day have a career. If I got caught with a fishing knife I would feel like all my hard work was for nothing.
I agree with everyone here. We go to school, and try very hard, and one unfortunate thing might tare everything apart. All the things I worked for to make my dreams come true will be ruined. I would never want to let that happen in my life.
Why would someone give up if they been working very hard for years to get a medical degree. You just don't stay in the mud when you fall. You pick yourself right back up and have faith that things will work for the best. You don't give up when an obstacle get in the way of your dream, but you find a way to get around. Everyone will have obstacles in there life that blocks their dreams, it just depends who tries to go pass their obstacles and who doesn't. Remeck did go pass his obstacle by still having faith that everything was going to be okay.
Rameck was devastated after this event occured. His dreams and all of his hard work was about to be demolished and he felt petrified. His dreams were definitely affected. The felony for having the knife would just flush his dreams down the drain of failure because it was a crime. But fortunately the judge did drop the case and it didn't have his life ruined because they didn't have any evidence. If I was caught in this moment, I would be a walking dusk because i would have no hope at all. I hate getting caught, I would have this feeling inside where I know the problem is going to get worse and it feels like I just want to give up, but giving up is never the right thing to do. I would have pummeled through it and just believe in myself (hopefully). I would strive on for as long as possible. But, thankfully im not that dumb to carry a weapon so yeah.
I agree with Long because this crime would have destroyed his life. If the judge had found Rameck guilty his end of "The Pact" would've been unfullfiled and he would be sad.
When Rameck was arrested for having the fishing knife, his dream almost ended because he could potentiolly get into big trouble. He was worried because he cannot think of anyway to get out of this. This is serious case, if he found guilty, his dream would be crush. One thing that would effect him, he would not be able to get a medical license.
In my opinion this is a serious impact to Rameck life, because if I was charged for felony, I would be terrified because I would think that my career and my life would just be taken away. But, Rameck inspired me because he show us to not give up, in a really tight situation like this.
When Rameck was arrested for having the fishing knife, his dream almost because the possession of a deadly weapon is a felony. This experience affect Rameck tremendously because with a felony on his record, he would not be able to pass the medical-licensing process as an adult.
ReplyDeleteAn unfortunate event like what Rameck did would affect me a lot because of what Rameck have done, it could have ruined his life and won't be able to pursuit his dreams as a doctor.

The experience affected Rameck worse than I would have thought. Rameck couldn't deal with the hardships this could bring him.

A felony is a dangerous and serious thing that can ruin your life forever.

when Rameck got arrest for having the fishing knife that had effect his life such as his goal in future and effect his dreams.. It will be with a felony on his record for the rest of his life. If i got caught in this situation it would extremely horrible. Because it will look bad and you might not able to apply for any job or get into good college too. but im not going to quit in any situation even though it bad. Im a still work toward it.

ReplyDeletei disagree with Frank because why would you give up something that you work so hard to get or want to accomplish it. you might have a chance of your hard work. & probably get what you need. Yes, you probably be worry or thinking there would be no chance of it. But i think there always chance in the world.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Chi Chi 125.314159...%,and I disagree with Frank 132%! Chi Chi is right. Why would you want to just give up on something that you work so hard on for a long time when there is a chance in this ever-growing world? I would never give up for the reason I posted before: God will be on my side just like he was for Rameck. It is just a matter of opinion and a belief in a greater power.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Hannah. Remeck's incident was very unfortunate. I would be freaking out if I was ever in a situation like that. I wouldn't give up on something I worked so hard for either because it would be a waste. All my hard work for nothing..

This experience effects Rameck because he wanted to not be like the other people that he grew up with. Rameck wanted to be his own person and not follow the other bad examples that his peers were giving him. Rameck getting arrested also makes his name not as good as it was before because he now has a record. This would have affected me in the same way it affected Rameck because I have never been arrested so it would make me look like a bad person. I would not have given up on my dream to be my own person in life.
ReplyDeleteThis Experience affects Rameck because it will be on his record .. it will make him look bad/give him a bad reputation. All the hard work he did would be a complete waste of his time.
ReplyDeleteThis event would affect me terribly because I would just give up, I would be so disappointed in myself and ashamed, that I would be so stupid to do that. But, eventually I would pick myself up and work on it, try to get back up and pull myself together, to do the right thing for myself. I couldn't imagine how bad he felt when being caught, basically everything he did could have been a waste of time.
I agree with Maia because Rameck was definitely not ready for such a turn in his life. He was a good kid trying to make good for his life with such bad examples all around him. I think that Rameck just got caught up with the wrong things at the wrong time.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Giana Anastasio becuase I would not know what to do in this situation. I would feel helpless, and I would not know what to do. All I would be able to do is just be "sick about it". I would be lost and not know where to turn for help or advice.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jonna. Simple things like this can ruin what you worked so hard and long for. He didn't want to be like the other kids in the neighborhood and that is why he went to college so that he could get away from those people and the things that could happen to him and now with this, it was like he was back with them kids in his neighborhood he tried to stay away from.
ReplyDeleteIt really put a downer on him. He was extremely worried if he was going to be able to uphold his end of the pact. This sat in the back of his mind for a while and he couldn't really do anything besides thinking of the fish saw. If something like this happened to me i wouldn't really be able to do anything. It would sit in the back of my mind for a while until i would drive myself crazy.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with Eric, being convicted of a felony is extremely serious. It would have definetly ruined his chances of being what he wanted to be.
The experience effected Rameck greatly. If proven guilty he would not be able to do what he had dreamed. He was extremely worried about it and thought about it constantly.
ReplyDeleteIf something like this had happen to me, I would have been devastated. If i had worked so hard to become someone and then all the sudden it could all be on the line, I honestly do not know what I would do.
I agree with Maia.
ReplyDeleteRemeck wasn't ready for something like this to happen. He was trying to make something of himself and this had all happened at the wrong time and to the wrong person!
When he was found with the knife Ramneck almost lost hope. If he were to be found guilty, he Couldve lost all chances at a future in his chosen profession. A loss like this would destroy his whole life.
ReplyDeleteIf this were to happen to me, I don't know what I would have done. Things happen at a moments notice and things may go awry. I would try to remain pensive and look on the bright side. If I can't be a doctor because of a mishap, I might be able to do something else.
This experience affected Rameck tremendously. The charges pressed against him were serious and if he was found guilty, his dream would have not have been likely anymore. A felony is a serious charge, and would have made his promise kinda hard to keep
ReplyDeleteThere would be a devastating impact on me if I was in this predicament. I would be pretty nervous about what my family would say. And some people's point of view about me would probably change.
@ Erica, I agree with you, I would have never been able to think what I might have done. People get desperate, and we may be backed into a corner in which we have no recollection of any sanity we may have left. So maybe it's better not to ponder such scenarios because then the paranoia we engulf ourselves in may prevent us from pursuing such dreams.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Eric. A felony could make your dream shattered and ruin everything for you. You pretty much hit the nail right on the head.
ReplyDelete@ Frank
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100% because I feel like I put a lot of time and energy into my school work and I wouldn't know what to do if I was in Rameck's situation. When I grow up or graduate high school, I plan to go off to college and get a degree and one day have a career. If I got caught with a fishing knife I would feel like all my hard work was for nothing.
@ Dominay & Eric
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because no matter what happens don't give up on your goals, hopes, and dreams.
I agree with everyone here. We go to school, and try very hard, and one unfortunate thing might tare everything apart. All the things I worked for to make my dreams come true will be ruined. I would never want to let that happen in my life.
ReplyDelete@ Chhi-Chhi
ReplyDeleteWhy would someone give up if they been working very hard for years to get a medical degree. You just don't stay in the mud when you fall. You pick yourself right back up and have faith that things will work for the best. You don't give up when an obstacle get in the way of your dream, but you find a way to get around. Everyone will have obstacles in there life that blocks their dreams, it just depends who tries to go pass their obstacles and who doesn't. Remeck did go pass his obstacle by still having faith that everything was going to be okay.
Rameck was devastated after this event occured. His dreams and all of his hard work was about to be demolished and he felt petrified. His dreams were definitely affected. The felony for having the knife would just flush his dreams down the drain of failure because it was a crime. But fortunately the judge did drop the case and it didn't have his life ruined because they didn't have any evidence.
ReplyDeleteIf I was caught in this moment, I would be a walking dusk because i would have no hope at all. I hate getting caught, I would have this feeling inside where I know the problem is going to get worse and it feels like I just want to give up, but giving up is never the right thing to do. I would have pummeled through it and just believe in myself (hopefully). I would strive on for as long as possible. But, thankfully im not that dumb to carry a weapon so yeah.
I agree with Long because this crime would have destroyed his life. If the judge had found Rameck guilty his end of "The Pact" would've been unfullfiled and he would be sad.
When Rameck was arrested for having the fishing knife, his dream almost ended because he could potentiolly get into big trouble. He was worried because he cannot think of anyway to get out of this. This is serious case, if he found guilty, his dream would be crush. One thing that would effect him, he would not be able to get a medical license.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion this is a serious impact to Rameck life, because if I was charged for felony, I would be terrified because I would think that my career and my life would just be taken away. But, Rameck inspired me because he show us to not give up, in a really tight situation like this.
