Besides leaving my home country, it was the second hardest thing that I had to experience. I was seven years old and when my parents announced that we were moving to United States, frankly I was excited to see the USA. However, as time passed I started to miss my family back in Ecuador. When, I was in the airport saying goodbyes to friends and family members. I did not understand that I would not see them in again in five years. However, hearing the news that my abuelito had passed away in 2006.…

The lengthy, cramped, and quiet bus ride to Living Hope Day School both excited and terrified me. A never ending stream of “what if” questions rattling my brain caused me think twice about what I was doing there in the first place. I was a stranger to them, someone whom they knew nothing about. I gazed out the window, trying to calm my thoughts when I saw them. An endless sea of purple sweaters, and cheery faces lined the fence at the school. All of my previous doubts washed away when I stepped…

A lot of people think just because you’re an identical twin, that you must be the same in every aspect of your life as the other person. In my case, and in others, being an identical twin doesn’t prove that we are the same in all areas of life. I have an identical twin sister, named Emily. Emily is pessimistic, high maintenance and very well organized. I, on the other hand, am more optimistic, open-minded and easygoing. We have the basic similarity of our physical aspect because we are identical…

As a director they may not have the idea but they can show a thousand words in just one picture. That is key thing in videography is it has to capture, what the author writes they show with just one frame, weather it is to show a…

Introduction Good or bad diversity is present all around us. Diversity can be a positive aspect to society because it can offer a variety of objects, ideas, and people into the world. People need to be accepting of diversity because it is has a variety of good functions to provide to a society. However, diversity can also cause issues because not everyone in the world is accepting of differences. This does not make diversity bad, but rather shows that people need to be willing to embrace…

For this project, I interviewed Kelsey Shoff, a junior who is my lab partner for microbiology. After chatting for a bit, I began asking her questions and it turns out we have similar interest when it comes to what kind of study we like to do. The first question I asked her was about what kind of field work she is pursing at Sage and if she had any doubts or changes along the way. Her response is similar to what mine was when I first started my college search- “I don’t know what I want to do I…

“Vivienne Westwood is one of the most iconic fashion designers of the last 30 years.”(Victoria and Albert Museum, 2004) Vivienne Westwood is a fashion designer who was born in Glossopdale, Derbyshire, 1941. To her, clothes were one of the way she uses to deconstruct cliché and convention. The subtext of her subject of her explorations of clothes was very shocking, and it had been signposted in the name and themes of her collections. They sometimes included humour and she represented the…

Amelie, a beautifully constructed French film, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, colourfully paints the fictional tale of a young French woman named Amelie. The story begins in a rather unusual way, through a series of seemingly arbitrary events that inexplicably lead up to Amelie’s birth, which makes the film that much more intriguing and appealing to the spectator. Jeunet’s unique style does not stop after the exposition. The exposition’s upbeat, playful, and creative style merely whets the…
