The things that blocks characters in my book is the environment they around such as gangs and drugs. They let that hender then from achieving in life. People use that excuse "i was raised in a bad neighborhood" to stop them of seeing the "cloud". My mother and father didn't want to see the cloud (which is me). They let drugs control there lives and almost kill them. They let The state take all there kids and put them in foster homes and let Dcfs take care of them. Sometimes in life we don't think about the results before we do things. We don't think about other people and how it will effect our lives and theres as well. Ruben is now in jail for along time because he didn't look at the cloud. That has effected his life and others in his life.



My struggle that prevents me from seeing the clouds is my laziness. I tend to get off task and do other thing from seeing my goal. I will rather talk to someone on the phone instead of doing my assignments or work around the house. Those things keep me from achieving a lot of goals in life.

Im getting better at managing whats important and whats not. I still have my little flaws here and there but Im getting better at managing this so i can see my cloud with out smog in the way of it.
