My Third Day of High School

My third day of school has been the most interesting so far.  It feels like i'm a high school student now that I'm getting homework.  Today in Mr. Schicks' class he told us about a little essay called "A Message to Garcia".  It was written back in the late 1800s.  The story was about the women named Garcia, who went missing for quite some time.  President McKinley asked for any person who would be willing to find her. His colleague spoke of a man named Rowen.  He told president McKinley about this man and how he could find anyone with no questions asked.  Once they found this man, he set off that very night to find this women.  After a week of no response, he comes back and says that he has found her and that the message had been delivered.  Then we learned that Rowen did it with no help and no questions asked.  He did it all by himself with no help and no lead to where Garcia could have been.  After that we learned that you won't be able to get anywhere in life if you keep asking for help.  You need to do the thing you are asked, and do it without question or any help from any of your friends.  I think that this is a great lesson to learn.  Especially for someone who has just found a job and they wanted to get an even better one for the future.
