What is my purpose? This question has challenged me since it was introduced to me in class. Watching the videos‚ lecture‚ and discussion in class has me wondering what I should do for the rest of my life. Writing and analyzing my goals‚ personal values‚ talents‚ and strengths have open inquiries into what I want to accomplish in my life and what my purpose should be. My three priority personal values are my family‚ health‚ and financial stability. One of my greatest personal value in my life is

Once something is done‚ it takes quite a bit of undoing‚ as McInnes explains later in her article as she writes‚ “Re-emerging from the deadly fog of psychiatric drugs was a slow process” (McInnes 163). With this information‚ it burdens me to think that the amount of people in the world with the desire to change‚ to make a difference‚ to be the voice of change is quite small and quite

When I was six years old‚ I planted a tree in my front yard. I watched the immature plant grow into a small but recognizable tree for the next two years. I remember distinctly asking my parents to buy me seeds from the garden store so that I could plant my own tree. They insisted on buying a baby tree that had already begun to grow‚ so I settled with that. As a child‚ I would become very fascinated with certain things for an amount of time‚ the tree being among these things. I would look out my window

What HOBY Means to Me. Leadership is defined as the leading of a group or an organization of people. I arrived at HOBY expecting that to be the definition of leadership that would once again be given to me. Although‚ contrary to what I believed‚ that wasn’t the description I received. HOBY taught me that to be a leader I don’t have to strictly lead others. I can also lead myself because I can make a difference. I have to be the change I wish to see in this vast world that I call my home. This is

What Makes a Social Class? On The Theoretical and Practical Existence Of Groups* By Pierre BoQrdieu It would be easy and tempting to deride the topic of this symposium and to uncover the presuppositions it conceals under its apparent neutrality. But if you will allow me just one criticism of the way it formulates the question of social class‚ it is that it misleads one to believe that this problem can be reduced to a simple choice and resolved by a few common-sense arguments. In fact‚ behind the

This is a question I believe many of us do not ask ourselves‚ but it is one we should begin to ask; who am I and what defines me? It seems like quite a simple question but I am sure that I am not the only one who struggles to know who I really am. So‚ how do I find what defines me‚ by taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture. Being the first generation in my family to be born

What Patriotism Means to Me In the aftermath of the September 11‚ 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States we are seeing many forms of Patriotism. I was surprised to find when I researched this word that it had a negative feeling associated with it. I believe that patriotism is actively showing your support for your country‚ standing up for what you believe in‚ and fighting for our individual free will and independence. I am proud of my country and I am not ashamed to fly the American Flag

What motivates you? For me‚ motivation has always been hard for me‚ I always tried and tried to find something that could motivate me once I’m on my own. It’s a simple question‚ with a very intricate answer. Everyone has their own motivation‚ whether it be a money‚ fame‚ or even a loved one; our motivation is our reason to keep going in life‚ our reason to get out of bed every day and continue on with our life. It’s an integral part of our life that we can’t live without it. I could waste my time

First‚ I would like to express what service and leadership means to me. Service is work done for somebody else as a favor or a duty‚ often with regard to whether it pleases them or not. It goes beyond tutoring ADHD children in these less fortunate neighborhoods; it goes on for a lifetime. Service is something everyone should experience once in a lifetime. It’s a blessing to be able to help someone at a vulnerable time in their life or because they aren’t able to make it happen for themselves‚ it’s

My creative outlet is playing soccer. This sport allows me to express my creativity. As I am running I have to be capable of keeping balance‚ speed and endurance. I pay attention to my foot coordination to develop better skills. Soccer is like dance because I have to move with the ball and in dance‚ you have to move with the rhythm. I am able to play tricks and I have to think fast on the plays. Also by tricking the other players that I am going to the right side but going left side instead
