A native of Chicago's projects, Carl credits three
forces for steering him towards music: church,
school, and avoiding gang activity. From a young
age, he knew he'd make his mark in music. In
addition to the R and B and hip-hop he grew up

Mozart (Orga 27). Beethoven was considered the

Low Self Esteem Dead Poets Society

When I first saw Dead Poets Society, it was
nothing I expected. The film is quite serious and
it is without question the best movie I've ever
seen. It takes place in 1959 at Welton Academy, a
private collage prep school for boys where
discipline is the most important goal and any
demonstration of a free thought is strictly
prohibited. One voice stands out among
narrow-minded administration-John Keatings,
eccentric and inspiring teacher. He wants his
students to "suck the bone of life to the marr...
