Growing up a missionary kid‚ I think the question “who are you” has been more prevalent in my life than the average. Bouncing from place to place meant my home wasn’t a specific country and my family didn’t only include my relatives. Being constantly exposed to different environments‚ cultures‚ and people led me to really establish myself as an individual‚ with minimal ties to any one place or anyone else. My childhood also insured I grew up with a love for traveling‚ and a great appreciation of

It is very seldom that I face practical questions that are too difficult to answer. Life has taught me things... things that I came to answer with ease and without much self-interrogation. However‚ this question stunned me to a point that I am staring at my computer screen for almost half an hour just wondering how to start answering this question. Who is Jesus Christ for me? Having spent three years in a catholic school‚ joined various church choirs‚ and yes‚ even religious organizations like the

You Are Not The Boss Of Me!!! Oedipus is a very complex character. He can be viewed as either caring and sympathetic to his subjects or he can be viewed as a self-centered ruler who only puts on an act in hopes of gaining the adoration of his subjects. Oedipus Rex in fact was a very prideful king. This was proven in many of his speeches. For instances in scene one‚ line 180‚ in scene two‚ line 280‚ and finally scene 3‚line 148 all prove that Oedipus is a self-centered king. In scene one‚

Three words that best describe me are ambitious‚ diligent‚ and considerate. I have always had this sense of ambition to push myself and be the best version of myself that I can possibly be. This began in the first grade when I decided to win the county spelling bee by spending countless hours studying the phonetics and spelling of words that students even four grades above me did not know. Then it intensified as I spent a whole school year in Palestine‚ and ended up receiving the top mark in my whole

contrary to popular belief‚ James W. Loewen‚ author of Lies My Teacher Told Me‚ has found American history to be taught with a completely nationalistic approach. Not only is the history of our country taught with a horribly strong patriotic sentiment‚ but generally with a misunderstood concept of the history of America by the writers themselves.

The person that inspires me most is my mom. The reason I say this is because she’s a strong black woman and she stands independently facing all odds. She inspires me to be the best I can be and to always give my all in whatever I’m doing. Whenever I need something‚ all I have to do is ask and I know if it’s possible‚ she’ll provide it. It’s always been like that with her and not with just me‚ but all of my brothers. I think the reason we may act uncivilized when dealing with authority is because
