...waves and so does my personality. I have a dual personality, the personality which I show to my friends, family and to other people and the personality which I can only show to myself. Just like how far infrared waves are thermal, I also like to give people who are around me the tenderness and affection that they need. I like to make them feel the warmth I give because I want to show them how special they are to me. I am the person who easily shows affection to others. If ever my friend needed someone to be with them in times of need, I can always give them warm hugs, warm words to comfort them and advices that can help them. Also, if there are new people whom I recently meet, I always try to make friends with them and I also like to warmly welcome all the people that come into my life....

...My access When I begin to think about community service I think that what good I can do for others. I have always loved helping anyone out in any way. If I had to think of a community service in order to graduate I would pick anything. It wouldn't matter which one I picked and these are my reasons why. To begin, my whole life my family have taught me that I need to learn how I can be helpful to others. My church has taught me as well, we do service for other without them telling us they need help. My church would go around see anyone who may need help with raking their leaves or help putting things away. With no cost to it. I loved to help people out because it makes me feel better about myself. It helps me become closer to others. The...

...of all, a new school. Sadly I finished unpacking yesterday so I'm going to school today, why can't I stay home again? "Scarlet! Come down or you'll miss breakfast!" My mum calls from downstairs; I take one more look at my choice of outfit before going to the kitchen and eating my breakfast. "Where's dad?" I look up at my mum to see her over happy face, how can she be so happy about this? "He's gone to work; a different job means a different schedule." I don't question anymore as I finish my food, kiss my mum and little sister and run out the door. I get to school and head to the principal’s office, the woman at the desk lets me in and the principal stares me down. "Welcome Scarlet, here is you new class schedule, I have also assigned a buddy to help you get around the school." Before I know what's happening I'm out the office and facing a boy a little taller than me. "Hey." Man I'm awkward around new people, he doesn't look up as he whispers a small hello and walks off. I run after him and silently follow into a class room, he sits down and I get the feeling he doesn't like me. Too bad, the only open seat is next to him, I walk over and the teacher starts talking about random stuff. As the teachers going on and on I decide its best to at least have my 'buddy' half like me, so I write a note and slide it over to him, luckily he has a look and writes back. Me: what's your name? Him: Ben, yours? Me: Scarlet. Him: like red. Me: yeah, call me red if you want. Him: really...

...Personal Statement Growing up, I was always interested in stories. I read everything I could get my hands on, whether it was fiction or nonfiction. I would spend hours on end, consuming the stories of other people and learning how their pasts affected their present lives. I would read books such as Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War and The Stranger Beside Me. I always thought that the stories with the most complex background were the ones that were the most interesting. When choosing my A-Levels, I was drawn to study sociology as a result. Sociology, as the study of society as a whole, has helped me see the way that someone’s environment shapes the person that they are. It is incredible to take the person’s context and really examine...

...I am well rounded, independent, and caring person. I believe that being well rounded means that you are not just one way or another, it means you have a mix of characteristics. I believe I am independent, I take care of myself in life, along with my own child without looking for handouts. I am independent, I do not rely on others for anything including bills, money, school, child or transportation. Interdependent means you get help from others or depend on other to do things for you. Also recently I have begun to understand self-serving bias, I have begun to take responsibility for my actions instead of blaming outside factors for my misfortunes. Locus of control theory is where people believe that they can control events that can affect them. External locus of control is a person that believes the whole world is out to get them, luck does exist, and that life is unfair. Internal locus of control is when a person has feelings of being responsible for the outcomes that happen in their lives. I myself struggle with both concepts, there are days where I feel it is me against the world, and I must remind myself that everything will be okay. For the most part I have an internal locus, I take responsibility for the things that have been given me. I believe this shows me that at a young age of 27 I am doing okay, I may stumble and lose my way but I will always get back on track. I know that confirmation bias is where a person has a tendency to favor information that goes along with...

...Psychology has always been something I’ve been very intrigued in since I was about 12 or 13 years old. Although my parents told me one day when I was in kindergarten, they went in for a parent teacher conference and learned some very interesting news. It seemed my kindergarten teacher had already decided on an area of careers that I was going to pursue. When they began talking the first thing that she told them was, “ I can already tell just by watching Dylan this year so far that he will have a career with hands on social activity. He is not afraid to talk to anyone and always helps everyone when they are sad. He’s also very importunate as well.” I was repressed this story until I was about 16 because that was about the age I told my parents I want to do something with Psychology. I feel as though I am someone who’s very accost. I also watch a lot of criminal investigation shows as well, which helps with the forensic part of my pursued career. I usually can guess why the assumed killer committed the crime he or she convicted. I already know a decent amount of knowledge about...

...been around for a very long time and some that have come to our attention within the last few decades. Since going to college, I have realized one of the biggest social issues and index offenses surrounding me…rape. The definition of rape is unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against the will usually of a female or with a person who is beneath a certain age or incapable of valid consent because of mental illness, mental deficiency, intoxication, unconsciousness, or deception. It is charged as a criminal sexual conduct in the first degree. Rape occurs when consent is not given and physical force is possibly used,...

Sadly right now I don't feel like that I love Jon and understand the whole can we wait but there is apart of me which is a big part that can’t do that. There are people that tell her oh he will never like you or no one will ever like you. Sometimes I think they are right no one does love me Im a dissapointment. I can never do anything right I'm sorry that i'm depressed and no one knows because I put a smile on my face and act like i'm happy but no one asks hey are you really. Sometimes I just felt he doesn’t care like everyone else around me he doesn’t text me or even talk to me when he is in front of me....

...I think that being in Honor Guard means always helping anyone you can and do not think twice about it. I think it's more about the people behind the scenes working with one another in order to keep things running smoothly. AFJROTC is a cadet runned program, and with that, there needs to be leaders that are willing to help and step up to the plate in order for everything to go as planned. To be in honor guard creates a community service team that helps everyone arounds them. Why do you want to be in Honor Guard? I would like to be a part of honor guard in order to truly help more people around me. I know that things can get difficult at times, and if I’m able to help alleviate one’s stress about it, really gives me satisfaction. I would like to challenge myself in a way that I could grow and learn new things from the experience and that I know will help me in the future. Honestly, I just really want to help others because I know the feeling of just wanting to give up and to not deal with anything anymore, but I had people help me get back to my feet. This would be an amazing way for me to repay and show my gratitude of the help of those people....

...My Philosophy I may not have been in this world very long, but in the 18 years I have been here I have learned and been through many things that have dramatically changed my life. Most of those things were life-altering events that really made me question everything about myself. I learned how to deal with those events and to look at the positive in them. Everyone deals with obstacles or barriers in life but the thing is how does one overcome them and learn from them? My philosophy deals with the things thrown at us and how we react to them for the better of ourselves. Family Now the obstacles I’ve dealt with involve my family. Let me give you an overall consensus of how we act; whenever something doesn’t go how we want it and/or we disagree with someone we blow up. Now looking at that, you wouldn’t think we would deal with serious events in a positive way, well you’re wrong. In the past 2 years on my mom side we lost my aunt to breast cancer, and grandma to a severe blood clot; then I personally dealt with the loss of my dad due to liver failure. During those multiple losses we didn’t drift apart due to not knowing how to act; we came together and helped support each other mentally and emotionally. We may not have dealt with them the right way but we dealt with them how we saw fit by just letting our emotions out and talking about how we felt. Another way I know I dealt with them is to look back on the positive memories and then physically I used my crafting and art skills...

...personal philosophy, I believe people are born evil by nature according to rules and regulations set by common standards. As a child, I had to be taught how to do things such as “share” and not be selfish, not be “disrespectful” and was given consequences for my negative behavior when I displayed explosive temper tantrums. As a parent, I have to teach my three year old toddler the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, greed and giving. He wasn’t born wired with the ability to automatically show positive traits and charactistics. Although there are times now that he is older he has the ability to “be good”, I have seen that it is a lot easier to be “bad” since we are born with “animal instincts”. Then I ask myself who made these the rules? Why do we have boundaries? Why does he have to “share” something that belongs essentially to “him”? If I ask him to complete a task and he says “no” or feels the need to act out his emotions by falling out onto the ground, why can’t he? I display my anger sometimes by arguing or separating myself when I don’t want to be bothered, I tell individuals “no” when I don’t want to do something, why can’t he? Who defined evil and good? I ask myself was it the Bible? Who really wrote the bible and how do I know if those words were truly inspired by God? The question is I don’t know. But as an adult, I understand the good that people can be and display. Sure, I would love to rob a bank without getting a trouble, however I know that that...

They were all afraid, afraid of what the autarch could do to their families and themselves. “Aaron?” my mother’s soft voice snapped me out of my thoughts. “The transmission is over. It’s time to start walking to the hexahedron,” she spoke quickly and quietly. She too was petrified of what the autarch and his night shadows -or shades, as we call them- could do. I sigh deeply and rise from the uncomfortable chair I was sitting in. All people are required to sit while the transmission...

...race? Why? ( page 9) I would describe myself as being multiracial, even though when asked in forms I usually only circle Hispanic or Latino. My mom is Venezuelan, and as far down as we can track all her ancestors were also Venezuelans, on my dad’s side he was European, and all his relatives as far as being tracked down were also of European decent. I believe my family is made up of a diversity of races. Although we are not able to find out where it came from, on my mom’s side of the family there must have been someone from Asian decent, as I have almost Asian eyes, and I have cousins and had an uncle that if you were to look at them you would think that they were Chinese. Have you or any member of your family ever encountered a glass ceiling? Explain (page 14) When I was 2 months old, my dad passed away in an accident, my mom had to take my dad’s place at his job, which was a factory that he owned along with other partners. My mom experience a glass ceiling as the other’s partners perspective of a woman working weren’t as diverse and thought that because of her gender she shouldn’t have been working in such a top position. I believe this happened because it was in Venezuela, where the cultural landscape of women working wasn’t consider much and what was perceived as a job for women was to be a stay home mom with the children. Should we always treat everybody the same and ignore differences? Are there any situations in which we should treat people differently? (page 32) I really...

...From my Point of View.... I have a major problem, one of which I feel like has taken over my life. I have been torn in my way of thinking lately. I don't want to go, but I can't stay. Which leads me to this, since we don't talk I thought I would write you a letter. I feel like I have screaming for help from everyone and anyone. And of all of the important people in my life you are the only one that is not listening. So I don't know if you just haven't noticed or you don't care. Right now your life revolves around your games, I think that that is part of problem but that is for another letter. I want to escape, but I can't help feeling guilty if I do. One, the parent people will be pissed, the house will be lost and the kids will probably end up in foster care (tom's words) or with my parents. All of which I am ok with this until people start asking how long will that last. Do I want to be gone for a year, a month, or a week? Truth is I don't want to go, but I can not live like this anymore. I feel as though you have already checked out of this relationship. But for some reason just won't either admit it to yourself (and leave) or work to change it. If you really want this to work then you need to step it up, because I need you as much as you need me. And not just financially, we need each other emotionally, and mentally. I am just so tired of fighting with you, I'm tired of the house, the kids, the responsibility, the thinking, the cleaning, the dog, the planning...
