After reading chapter one I just could not put the book down. Chapter one of Education of little tree was about Little Tree moving in with his grandparents. In the second chapter Little tree and his grandpa went hunting. They set up a turkey trap, that covered a hole with a few branches and leaves. Little tree and his grandpa use this hurting time to grow closer together. Little Tree needs new guidance and love back in his life after loosing his mom and dad. The following day, there were some quails in the tree and a Hawk was looking for some food.
Little Tree saw the hawk kill an animal and he was sad. He was wondering why the hawk killed it, why did it eat is. Little Tree's grandpa said, “Don’t feel sad Little Tree. This is the way of life. Grandpa explains to Little tree that the slow did and the slow don't reproduce. That the hawk only takes what it needs no more no less. They went back to the Turkey trap and there where six Turkeys in the hole. But they only need there. Little Tree got to pick which three they would take. Little Tree chose the three weakest. Little Tree had chosen right.

Finally the NFL is about to get their fist openly gay player. This year Michael Sam from Missouri is going into the NFL draft. He is defenses end but can play line backer. As of right now his draft stock is really good. The NFL team Washington Redskins had the first African American QB. They take pride in beeing the first team. Just like how I take pride in my grades! What ever team drafts him will take pride in having a good player but most of all having the first openly gay player. Being gay does and never did mean you could not play in the NFL. It was just looked at differently and look down upon because of the locker room situation. This is a big step for the NFL. Michael Sam is a role model for gay kids every where.
