Drowning Grades

Posted by Leah Petty in English 2 - Pahomov on Friday, March 8, 2013 at 12:04 pm

Welcome to my crossing boundaries podcast. This is a story about my father Jeff Petty, he crossed the boundary of self expectation. He was accepted to a really good high school, for his 10th grade year. William Penn High. A year later he was kicked out. For failing his classes. To find out the whole story please listen to this pod cast.

After finishing this interview with my father, I found it odd that he said he would not have done it again. There could have been so much more in life for him. He could have gone to college and have a great life. After finishing I ask him this, he tells me that he has a great life now. I thought that his was a great response, Jeff Petty is a great father, husband and worker, without William Penn High.

The audio was hard to hear but I'm sure it was a good interview anyway ( I didn't fully listen to it).

Reginald Simmons

Very nice, Leah. I particularly enjoyed the introduction. The story was very good, also. I love to hear a great tale of someone rising above what they thought they could do.

I agree the audio was a little rough, but a really cool story!

Marshall Woodruff

I likes the interview. But the audio recording made the interview hard to hear and less enjoyable.

Edgar Pacio

The audio had a bit of static but the story itself was great. He learned from his mistakes and ended up being successful.

There were a few static-y areas but I really like the story, and it's good that he realized that he failed himself and still was able to be sucessful and all.

I liked the story, i just thought the audio itsself was a bit scratchy.
