Today in Reading Workshop we had four things to do, one of them was commenting on one of Mr McGuire’s posts. He wrote about controlling our destiny. At the end he wrote two questions that we had to answer in our comment. They were: This leads to the question, do you control your destiny? What are you doing to steer you life to success? This is what I commented:

I think that I do and don’t control my destiny. I think that I control my destiny by making choices like studying for tests, doing my work, and listening to adults.

I think that I don’t control my destiny because I can’t control moving to a new school, my mom and step-dad getting divorce, or a death.

The things I am doing to steer my life towards success are trying to get good grades. Good grades lead to good colleges, and that leads to making more money when I grow up.  I am also listening to my parents. When I listen to them they give me more freedom and responsibility.
