I believe diversity has a wide variety of definitions. It means accepting others despite their moral values. As a young African-American woman attending a school where people come from all different walks of life‚ I am challenged with different types of people and accepting their moral values. One of my best friends is an African-American male‚ Christian‚ and homosexual. Typically Christians and black people don’t accept those who attribute to same-sex relationships‚ but I love and see past his beliefs

Justice means having someone adjudicated and found guilty for a crime they have committed. Laws are put in place for a reason and everyone should have to abide by them. Just having a criminal off the street is enough justice for me‚ but locking one up and “throwing away the key” will not make them better; it will probably not change them at all and eventually make their situation worse. Convicted felons need a plan of treatment. First‚ they need to realize what they have done was wrong. Next‚ they

What Success Means To Me What makes a person successful? Attitude! Being able to look back at all of the trauma and hard tasks you have endured and realizing that you made it through.

fear of punishment” (Gandhi). To me‚ this quote means power through generosity and kindness is longer lasting and more genuine than power gained by terror . The first part of the quote‚ “Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love” (Gandhi) means that a person can come to power by two ways. One way is by making a person do something because he is afraid of what the consequences will be if he does not do the task. For example‚ in Animal Farm by George

Imagine that you are a new student at a new high school. You don’t know anyone‚ and you don’t know any of the teachers. Not one face on campus looks familiar. The material you learn is much harder than your old school and overall every day is miserable. Would you drop out? If your answer is no‚ you are a person that exemplifies grit.

What Success Means To Me A great deal of people define success as living a life of luxury with brand new expensive vehicles‚ a big beautiful home and so much money you couldn’t possibly spend it in this lifetime. I’m not one of those persons. I can define success in one word; stability.

What Trust and Respect mean and how it should be earned Respect as defined by the ARMY values is defined as‚ “treat people as they should be treated” I believe that this is true but that there is more to it than that. Respect to me is about doing what is asked of you without back talk or argument‚ talking to someone as they should be talked to i.e. if someone is in a greater position than you treat them as such (stand at parade rest‚ etc.) Respect is a very important quality that we are taught

What does being poor mean to you? A family or person is considered to be poor based on the standards by the country that he lives in. A man might think of himself as poor if he is without the things he feels he needs to survive. A person who continuously doesn’t have food to eat or is homeless would be someone others would view as being poor. Someone could be observed as a poor person if he smells bad or has bad hygiene. As far as I’m concerned‚ these all are material poverty. Material poverty is

“All the adversity I’ve had in my life‚ all the troubles and obstacles‚ have strengthened me… You may not realize it when it happens‚ but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.” This quote by Walt Disney can say something in all of our lives. Young or old‚ we all have day to day obstacles or conflicts. Some worse that others‚ but all equally important to our success or failure in life. I have encountered many circumstances throughout my life‚ from death to life‚ from happiness
