...Problems can happen daily , and facing obstacles is part of life. Obstacles could be having a bad relationship with parents or simple as getting a bad grade in school. For me , i always have friends misunderstanding me. i'd always thought that i can just ignore it, not until i figured out that every thing i ran away from will come right back to me. Learning how to get along with people has always been something i need to learn; it's probably because of the way i interact with people, friends can easily misunderstand me. There was a time when my best friend who suddenly turned into a gossip queen and start talking behind my back . It was probably something i said or did that made her betray me , but i never tried to hurt her or make her...

...knows more about me than I do. No matter what happens in my life, no matter how good of a day or bad of a day I am having she is always there for me. She is the only person who will take time out of her busy schedule to talk to me about the littlest things. She is always there for me and that is why I chose I Turn to You by Christina Aguilera as the song that best describes our relationship. This song has the lyrics that best exemplifies my relationship with my mom. She is always there for me and she is the one person I can turn to for anything. Even when I have friends who let me down I know she will never do that. She cares about me so much and will be there for me through everything. She has never abandoned me in a time of need and I know she never will. As I get older I come to realize how much my mom means to me and what an important factor she is in my life. It would be very hard to pick out a part of the song that I like the best and that describes our relationship the best because the whole song does it. But if I did have to pick out my favourite lyrics of the song, it would be the bridge: For the arms to be my shelter through all the rain/For truth that will never change/For someone to lean on/For a heart I can rely on through anything/For that one who I can run to. My mom parenting style is mostly democratic, but sometimes she can be authoritarian. Usually she will let me defend myself if we are having an argument, and she will generally compromise with me about certain...

...In the Novel, “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian,” by Sherman Alexei, the two characters I choose was Junior and Rowdy. Junior was a poor cartoonist drawer growing up in Spokane Indian reservation. Junior and Rowdy lived in a town name Rez. While, Rowdy was Junior’s strong best friend. Rowdy protected Junior when he got bullied. When Junior transferred to different school in Reardan, Rowdy started hating Junior for that so they became enemies from best friend. I think these two were the funniest guys in the novel because they did some crazy things together. This novel made me feel different emotions such as laugh, worried and sad. The novel made me laugh because Junior was a funny guy. Junior made funny cartoons, and also used funny quotes in the book such as, ‘I was born with water on the brain.” This quote was the first sentence of the novel. The novel also made me worried when Junior went all white people school. He didn’t know anyone there and especially there were no Indians there. I thought he was going to get beat up by white people but I don’t think that happened. I think he punched a white guy on the face. The novel also made me sad because Junior’s grandma, his dad’s best friend and his sister died in terrible accidents. This was the tragic part of the book and especially for Junior. The three events that I think are important to novel are when Junior has a basketball game versus Rowdy and his old school, he got pushed and was taken to the hospital...

...Akane Kang In this essay I will explain to you what I know about the IB program, why it will be an important part of my high school experience, and why I want to be in IB. I’ve heard of IB from my cousin when she was in 8th grade and I was in 7th. I remember thinking “Wow…I’m never going to try for that.

I’ll need to have the right mind set for IB such as working at my best, not doing things half-heartedly, and being open minded. I understand that IB classes are at higher levels. International Baccalaureate will help me get into a stupendous college. IB classes will add to my GPA, it amazes me that someone can have higher than 4.0! I comprehend that my first two years of IB, freshman and sophomore, are...

I can never repay my parents for all they have done for me and I will forever be in debt to them. My mom is very smart and an experienced person. I say that because anything she says is 99% of the time right. When I was 13 I wanted a Penny Board so bad.

...How to be a better General manger As someone wise said ''start with the end in mind '' before this class I only know what the end was but not the process of push start. for me before class I see it like there was a taxi waiting outside of my house I know I want him to take me to the best places I just did not know how I am going to lead him there. So vivid management class was all about bringing people together and work together to get the job done I just did not know how to bring them to one place work together. Coming from low masculinity highly collectivist country where things are yet in the process of growing people are taught that they must look after one another, guide the young once, remain with old family values and at the end of the day regardless of how a horrible day that you had, saw a young boy get hit by a car or you just came from your daughter’s wedding and she is expecting a baby. You have to share your news with the people that cares about you and they make sure you get the best treatment regardless when you get to the house at all time because they yet not know if you had good or bad news for them always making sure the napkin or the knife is there to cut the cake. In my country Ethiopia there is one thing that takes huge part of peoples day to day life in every corner every town and every single house and for most people it is internet that made the people stay connected with each other instantly so easy you don't even have to meet the person...

...The Best Part of Me There is not enough time in my life to write about the person who had the greatest influence in my life. As I write this paper, it’s as if my entire life is flashing in front of my face. I feel I’m frozen in time: scenes of my fondest memories of my mother playing in my mind but in slow motion. I see her vividly she is walking by swiftly in her rose colored house dress, brown slightly worn shoes, the aroma of Maxwell house coffee perking, and the scent of crispy bacon sizzling in the skillet, all reminding me of those early morning winter days in Ohio, bitter cold but warm at the same time surrounded in so much love. My mother, “Mamma,” was not only a great parent to my siblings and me but her parenting reached far beyond her children. She was a mother figure and a listening ear to many of my friends but one in particular who did not share the loving, caring and wonderful bond I shared with my mother. I remember a particular time in my best friend, Jackie’s life when she was 15 years old, who could not talk to her mother about a very difficult situation that occurred in her life. Her mother was a self absorbed, unhappy woman, who was more attentive and obsessed with her husband’s indiscretions. She consumed all her time and energy in trying to figure out what was going wrong in her marriage than to hear the cries and frustration, the deep dark place her daughter was in and had no guidance to find her way out. In the...

...The three things that initially motivated me to start college are my younger siblings, my future, and last but not least to further my education. I always felt like with me being the oldest sibling, my younger sisters look up to me. Therefore, I want to be that role model to them, and show then anything is possible. Not to mention my future is crucial since it's in my hands I'm responsible for the outcome. If I do my best , then ill be the best. If I take it as a joke, then ill be the joke. So I chose what's best for me. Furthermore its very imperative to attend college and further your education. Especially if it is something you desire, why not have a degree for that career. Ever since I was young I wanted to own many businesses. To be my...

...resources or data base searching has been a tremendous and effective contributing factor towards the fast and easy researching method my colleagues, myself and other learning colleagues are using widely in the twenty-first century. Fortunately, online resources have created essential communication skills between me and my colleagues, tutors and other acquaintances around the universe. This method has enabled me interact via online through discussing and exchanging learning information. However, the effect has not only made it easy for the general public and myself to access accurate and non-accurate information, but has also contributed in developing and improving social development/network. Most importantly, it has given me the privilege to search more than one database to enable obtaining a successful research project. Furthermore, the aspect of locating the right source is an enormous issue. Example is researching using Google and Google scholar. The difference is that, Google scholar is peer-reviewed but Google is not. Based on this evidence, not all information is academically evaluated or peer-reviewed before it is made public on the internet. Database searching enable me learn different techniques in acquiring successful research. Examples are: I get the privilege to access both old and new online journals, books, and newspapers. Most importantly, it enables learning to be more flexible and convenient. In addition to that, I am able to book an appointment, counselling...

My house is like an amazing gift I was given I never want to lose and I most definitely never want to move away. Good thing is that I never have which is amazing but there was a time that it felt like I did. Little did I know that good things would come out of it. I live in a house that when I was going to elementary school I went to an amazing school called Norris S. Childers. This school was the absolute best in my opinion. I would always jump, smile, skip and laugh from excitement when I was there. I was even the first class of kindergarten...

...I am what I like and dislike. I am what I believe in. I am my choices and experiences. I am what I do. I am where I live. I am who others have made me to be and I am who I have chosen to be. Most people do not consider all of the different ways they can be identified. There are countless different things I would use to describe myself and taking this course has added numerous more descriptors to my identity. The widely accepted definition of culture from Devito does a wonderful job including the things I would use to define my culture. The definition states: “Culture is a relatively specialized lifestyle of a group of people (values, beliefs, artifacts, behaviors, ways of communicating)”. Those are all examples of different aspects of my life that I would use to describe myself. For me, my values and beliefs are a strong sense of who I am. I am also very openly supportive of my values and beliefs. I am not afraid to inform people about how I feel about an issue, whether it is politics or something in athletics. If there is something that I strongly support or I am strongly against people know. I feel that many other people would use my values and beliefs to describe me as well since I make them so known. Co-cultures do a brilliant job of helping to identify one’s culture. They each describe a different part of one’s identity and combine to form each person as a whole. I can define myself by using several different co-cultures: (I am a 20 year old, Caucasian...
