When someone asks me about my identity I usually do not know what to say. Probably because no one asks me about my identity. It has taken me many years to get to where I am now and I am still trying to improve myself and find myself. However‚ in seventh grade I met someone who changed my life forever and is the reason I had even tried to find myself. Due to this person entering in my life‚ I now have someone else who is the reason that I try to better myself and find all of my identity. This poster

Susan Strehle’s article “I Am a Thing Apart”: Toni Morrison‚ A Mercy‚ and American Exceptionalism” argues that Morrison’s novel criticizes the notion of American exceptionalism because it directly links to the emergence of racism from the concept of otherness. Another important argument in Strehle’s article addresses Morrison’s use of historical events such as Nathaniel Bacon’s rebellion‚ the Salem witch trials‚ and the spread of smallpox to the Native Americans to emphasize the exploitation of

recently‚ but I have been thinking about the value of life. Recently I asked some companions at dinner how they wanted to be remembered. I notice reporters always ask older celebrities that question which means I know you won’t be around much longer so what do you want me to say about you when you are gone? One of my friends said he wanted to be remembered as a good person who always tried to do the right thing. I am sure he will be remembered that way. He is generous and caring. My other companion

I never liked to think a lot about college‚ the reason is that I was afraid that I was not going to do good there. I was afraid of my classes because I knew that it was going to be challenging for me and specially English. English has not been my best subject. I just don’t think I am good enough with my writing. I would always struggle to get an idea of what to write. I never expected to get good grades on my assignment specifically essays‚ but not only that. Reading was difficult too‚ I could not

this I ’ve told before‚ or at least hinted at‚ but what I have never told is the full truth. How I cracked. How at work one morning‚ standing on the pig line‚ I felt something break open in my chest. I don ’t know what it was. I ’ll never know. But it was real‚ I know that much‚ it was a physical rapture--a cracking-leaking-popping feeling. I remember dropping my water gun. Quickly‚ almost without thought‚ I took off my apron and walked out of the plant and drove home. It was midmorning‚ I remember

When I first heard the word mission‚ I automatically pictured in my mind people going to remote areas of the world to build houses or teach in schools. I had a very narrow sense of what the words mission‚ missionaries or ministry meant or what they entitled. My next thought was‚ what would compel someone to drop everything; leave their home‚ family‚ friends or perhaps a great job with the intention of doing God’s work or sharing God’s word. The phrase “am I my brother’s keeper” immediately rang a

Prof.Khalid Kurr Why do I like to get drunk? “When people are drunk‚ that’s when their real personality comes through.” I like to get drunk because it is fun. If you ask me why‚ it is like you’re asking why children like slides. Also I like it because I can be wild and slutty and have an excuse for doing anything. It helps me alleviate the depression and to forget my problems that prevent me from sleeping easily. After every day I get drunk‚ very beautiful things happened; everything is waking

The subject on English was never my strong suit‚ but I always try my best although I can never really get a high grade in the class. It is really difficult for me to accomplish much in writing so I don’t really try to expend much of my energy on it. But‚ my main point is that when writing I do what I can and try to incorporate as much of the writing techniques as I can but it never really makes a difference. When teachers tell me to correct an error I would do so but somehow completely remove an

I would like to share a story about my maids. I used to rely on maid services because I have two children‚ aged one and three respectively. When my eldest son was born‚ I initially sent him to a babysitter who lived nearby my area. However‚ the babysitter was only able to take care of my son until he was six months old due to her own pregnancy. So‚ because of the unavailability of my babysitter‚ I really needed to find a maid to look after my kids when I was away at work. My first maid was from Indonesia
