The film “Coach Carter” is about basketball players who are too liberated, they don’t care about their future, instead they live life as it is. They survive mostly on luck and the only thing that matters to them is BASKETBALL, sad to say but true, this is brought about by the kind of school and community they live in, with all the dangers and temptations around only half of the students graduate, and according to them 7 out of 10 go to college.

People of high ranks in the school doesn’t care where their students go after graduating, they don’t even have the guts to try encouraging students to go to college. The students or basketball players way of thinking changed when Coach Carter came, they were trained like professional basketball players, they were disciplined in all aspects, and most of all they were taught to aim high such as graduate college and be different from those of their neighbors.

The film has inspired me, I believe that I am lucky to enter a good school that prioritizes good education than extra curricular activities. I hope it continues to be this way.

I am too afraid to admit that peer pressure has become one of my problems, I mean, I am too scared or afraid to be left-out. Of course, who wouldn’t be? I’ve encountered so many trials and I am mostly afraid of facing them and wouldn’t how to get over it, good thing I have friends and family to help me, because if they’re not around, maybe I’m already messing up my life. I don’t know the right words to explain what my problems or fears are, because whatever I do, it always seem to be one of the hardest questions, knowing that I’m facing so many problems.

Computer Application Software

First of all, the word "software" according to Wikipedia is defined as a collection of computer programs, it is sometimes used to describe electronic media content, which embodies expression of ideas such as films, tapes, records and a lot more. Electronic media content is defined as media used to operate electronics or electromechanical energy for the user to access the content.

Application software may be considered as a subclass of computer software, it uses the capacity of a computer directly and thoroughly to a task that the user needs to execute. Examples of which would be:

Microsoft Word is the engine behind letters, memos, reports, newsletters and school assignments.

Microsoft Office Powerpoint is a powerfull tool to create presentations and slide shows, it allows you to construct presentations from scratch or by using the easy to use wizard.
