...Why am I Here? The decision to further my education was made long before I completed high school; however, at the time I did not have the resources at my disposal to achieve my life goals. In conversations I had with individuals that I surrounded myself with I realized that furthering my education should be a top priority. The decision was made to join the armed services which had a huge impact on my life. Not only did the rigors of military life provide me with the discipline that I would need to succeed, but it would eventually avail a litany of resources thereby enabling me to pursue select long and short-term goals such as purchasing property and building a home. Over the years I’ve been motivated by an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and by living vicariously through family, friends, and their college experience(s). Along comes the Great Recession; a period in our history that continues to impact every hard working American and the global society. The unfortunate events leading up to the recession and the subsequent implosion of the economy, if you will, forced me to seriously ponder my future. Why now? “Why not?” would be the easiest way to answer that question, but the more obvious answer is the fulfillment of my goals. You see I never gave up on them I just chose another route. I envision a better quality of life following successful completion of my degree program that will not only affect me but family and friends. I presume that more opportunities will present themselves...

...Who Am I? My name is xxxxxxxxx and I am a woman originally born in the city of xxxxxx, xxxxx. I came to the United States at age five and I recently became xxx years old on my birthday, this past xxxx x, xxxx. As a woman of Hispanic origin, I am very rich in Latin and Central American Indian culture. I grew up with my mom and aunts speaking a derivative of Pig Latin. I have a Spanish style of cooking and mostly all my plates are xxxxxx dishes. I may have grown up in the states all my life, but I’m almost 100% rooted in Spanish customs. As a person, I identify myself as a child of God. Spiritually, I am always seeking knowledge and wisdom since I believe it comes from God. My faith is deeply rooted in my confession, that I am a spirit who will one day return to my maker. Holding such a belief has its advantages. For example, I generally do not abide by society’s norm of what I should be, or my role in life. I also believe that if I’m still here, there’s work to be done. I love to explore Biblical concepts and beliefs. As a mother I am an attentive soul. I’m always looking out for my children and their personal interest. I like to give them their space, but yet hold them accountable. I tend to be conservative with my children and do not try to push them beyond their limits. To me, being who we are and doing what we do, just as we choose whether to build a relationship with God, is a very personal matter. While most people do not like my parenting style, I think it’s worked...

...The Dave Matthews Band When I think of The Dave Matthews Band, I also think of their jazzy pop rock music that has helped them become a musical sensation. The band consists of jazz and classical musicians and of course, Dave Matthews. Their music and songs are very unique and have not been heard before the band came about. They have touched millions of people’s hearts, especially mine. The fact that they sing about real situations and real issues that are going on the world today is what makes them my favorite band. Whether I am happy, sad, or mad, The Dave Matthews Band’s album “Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King” always lifts my spirits and puts me in a better mood; their songs are inspirational. One of the songs that touch me the most is called “Funny the Way It Is”. This song is about the good and bad things going on in the world. The point being made is that even though many wonderful things are happening, bad things are occurring at the exact same time. “Funny the way it is, if you think about it/ One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out/ Funny the way it is, not right or wrong/ On a soldier's last breath, his baby's being born/ Funny the way it is, not right or wrong/ Somebody's broken heart become your favorite song/ Funny the way it is, if you think about it/ One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out” Not only does it discuss the fine times and poor times in life, but also how people take the privileges they have for granted. While kids...

...Assignment 2: Why are you here now? Anna Jang Why are you here now? This is a very subjective question because it could have several different meaning depending on an individual’s aspects. The three key words in this question are, “you,” “here” and “now.” I believe the answer will depend on an individual’s concept of these terms. To me, “you,” “here” and “now” mean something very general about life. I consider “you” as a person’s own embodiment and physical being. “Here” means the world that person lives in and “now” as in this moment. So in conclusion, the question “Why are you here now?” means “Why am I in this world at the moment?” Of course I realize, my definition would be prejudiced to another individual’s. For example; “Why are you here now?” could mean “Why am I standing in this puddle when it’s raining?” or “Why am I in this course when I’m only in grade 11?” I find that this all depends on perspective. Going back to my original definition of “Why are you here now,” I think the reason I am in this world is unknown at this point in my life. I definitely have not experienced, learned and grown enough to make that assessment but I have faith that I will learn it one day. There is no way to know your reason for life if you have not participated in the fullness of it. There is a purpose to individual life, and to me, the goal is to find out. I’ll never really be able to know until I evaluate my existence at the end of...

...Annalyn B. Alvarez The Life I Deserve Life would be the best gift God had given us. Without this, nothing seems to be possible here on earth. Life keeps us on breathing and living. But with this topic, I am here to talk about my life specifically on how I made it up to here now. Ladies and gentlemen, I am Annalyn Alvarez. Good afternoon! We do have different lifestyle, for the primary reasons that we came from different families and different places, but one thing is for sure, we all have our dreams and plans with our life. I came from a simple family in Calatagan Batangas. I attended a public elementary school and with the help of scholarship, I attended a private sectarian high school. Living becomes so much tougher during those high school days because of financial problem but still I studied very hard during my three years in high school and became on top. Senior year came and with the help of my sister’s husband it became less stressful with us, though it became that way, I felt that I am flopping in my academic subjects and didn’t concentrate well. I don’t know why but studying is not the priority anymore though I knew that I am aiming to be on one of the top students again to gain scholarships in my chosen university. But, graduation came and I didn’t make it. I am an ambitious person and I really have a big dream so it was a big disappointment and as for me it was my first time! It may seem just a little problem but this started all my regrets. The dream to be...

...name of the first test you take here): Religion Cut and paste your results here https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/Study?tid=-1 The graphic wouldn't copy properly so I think the link should still get you to my results. I had a central score for Hinduism/Christianity with Judaism and Islam being slightly higher and lower respectively. Discuss your results. Do you think you are biased with regards to this group? Why/why not? Were you surprised by your results? Why/why not? I was slightly surprised by my results. I try to stay as unbiased as possible when discussing any religious group-so the very central scores for Christianity and Hinduism were not that surprising. I was very surprised that I gave Judaism a higher positive regard over any other religion-though I was raised in a secular home, my parents came from a Christian background. The negative regard for Islam also surprised me, but I suppose media bias and constant negative portrayals have seeped into my perception. TEST 2 (fill in the name of the second test you take here): Native Test Cut and paste your results here: 1 Your data suggest a strong association of White Am. with Foreign and Native Am. with American compared to Native Am. with Foreign and White Am. with American.

...BANG! BANG! “Sargent! Enemy at 130 North East is firing shots in our direction, should I take him out?” I said. Throughout all of the times that I’ve been shipped out here, to the wonderful country of Iraq, no enemy has ever taken fire at me before we’ve even landed the helicopter. “Private Austin, how dumb are you? Those shots are nowhere near us. It’s more than likely just some terrorists having a dispute.” Either Sargent Peppers is going insane, or I am, because I can clearly hear bullets sprinting past our apache attack helicopter. The guns firing in the distance are the only source of light, to the naked eye, at this time of night. After each bullet is fired, I get a glimpse of the terrain, covered in rocks, mud, and dead plants....

...Hello class my name is Kanegra Jones but I prefer to be called KeKe. I am the mother of 5 children I have 4 daughters and 1 son. I was inspired to go back to school by my 11 year old daughter because she is very smart and she asked me why don't I give school another try so that was what I did. My children ages are 14, 12, 10, 8, and 5. My son is the baby of the bunch. I live currently in Powder Springs GA. I have only been here for about 5 months and I am still learning this city. I moved here from Memphis TN which I lived there from age 14 up until about 5 months ago. I was born in Mississippi I am currently working part time as a school bus driver which I have been doing for about the last 12 years. I have been doing this so long because i am very convenient for me being that I am a single mother and I have no family here. It was the same in TN I had no family so driving buses was very convenient and helpful because when school was out I was off and when the summer came I didn't have to work so it was very helpful to me I am a very quiet person I like to keep to myself and I do not bother anyone. I don't smoke I do not drink and do not go out. So I basically live a simple life and I try to keep it that way. I am here at the UPOX taking up Psychology because I would like to help and understand why people have some of the problem and learn ways to help them help themselves function better without always giving them medicine to control their symptoms....

Other people might says, “Better to be with someone who will make you happy”, what if the reason why you prefer to be alone is that someone who you want to be with is always ignoring you when you need his help or let say his affection and belongingness is not unto you. What if every time you go for, is just like you’re a wind and crap to that person? How can you stay and find time to reassure that he will give you more time to talk with your problems or flaws either? How should you see yourself to be trapped and when you fall asleep the only thing you can imagine is your already dead without knowing and feel it?
