became the last manned mission to the moon. It seems inconceivable that 43 years later‚ these footprints left by Apollo 17 astronauts were the last of any man.

A personal accomplishment that is important to me is the day I became a vegan. About 2 years ago I made a vow to eat only organic and Non-GMO products‚ and to live a cruelty free lifestyle. Conducting research‚ analyzing and reading books‚ and ultimately taking an empirical approach‚ all brought me to the point where I decided to make the change to a vegan diet.

Learning how to ride my skateboard taught me many essential life lessons by falling and failing each and every single time and still getting back up to continue trying. Although it may seem like an easy task‚ it was not as simple for me. All of the times my

With all the hatred and negativity going on in today’s society being proud of my identity is much more challenging; especially when more than half of my identity is criticized and villainized in major media outlets. Everyone’s identity consists of multiple components‚ for me‚ my family’s background and religious beliefs are two major components that shape my identity.
