Aung Sun: The First Childhood Memories Of The Sun

Improved Essays
The earliest childhood memory I have was my mothers tears running onto my face at a very young age. At the time I had no idea what was the big problem, but father never seemed to come home which angered my mother. The exact date or year I cannot seem to remember, however the present date is 1964, when my mother told me what happened to Aung Sun my father. The rivals of the Burmese army had assassinated him. A truly terrible tragedy to a great man in politics.
Mid of 1967
St Hugh 's College of Oxford university, is one of the most prestigious schools in the world which had always been on my top college list. This coming week I will be graduating from there with a Bachelors in Economics, Philosophy, and my favorite Politics.The sign of justice and fairness for all has always intrigued me. Maybe one day I could continue fathers legacy in Burma and make my mother proud. By the way I met a cute boy in Bhutanese studies named Michael Aris. Maybe something will work out with us.

My mother was hospitalized and Burma is in a mess. This brought me to believe my country needed me. Over 10,000 people were killed by the call of U Ne Win, Burma 's leader. Human 's rights are being taken away illegally and nobody is stopping it. The country of Burma is a beautiful country with great people yet a horrific side of poverty, famine, and many drugs. This concludes me to believe my country needs a change and that change is democracy. Two days ago I had traveled to Shwedagon Pagoda and demanded my country starts a multiparty democratic

    Missiles could be seen in the distance exploding villages nearby, shots were fired followed by screams of terror and pain. Villages were found in pieces, and the dead left lying on the muddied, dirt ground. Survivors running for their life in tattered and soiled clothes. Nights were spent in the cold, without food, the fear of being killed, and no place that one can call safe. It was in the year of 1975, when the Khmer Rouge had finally taken over Cambodia.…

    The blacker the college, sweeter the knowledge. As kids, we see shows and movies such as A Different World and School Daze then imagine attending an HBCU being fun and adventurous. Not realizing and understanding the essence of having a place in the world where you can relate with people of different shades of melanin and personalities. The mission of an Historically Black College or University is to give blacks the opportunity of higher learning and allow them to graduate with multiple job lineups. From my perspective, an HBCU should make you feel more welcome than a PWI would, make you feel wanted and appreciated.…

I aim to be involved in music and theatre because they are my outlet of expression and creative talent, and the shows created are memorable two-hour escapes for the audience. A creative person tends to have a venturesome personality, so it’s suitable that I also enjoy mission trips and traveling for fun.…

    Two developmental milestones that I have faced during my twenty-two years of life, thus far, are beginning college and ending college. Starting college in particular was a developmental milestone because it was different than anything I have ever experienced and for my family to experience as well. I am the first generation in my family to attend college. Both of my parents went straight into the work force after they graduated high school, and were not encouraged by their parents to attend college. I have two older siblings who decided not to attend college, because they wanted to go straight into the work force, and long term did not want to have to worry about paying back student loans.…

One of these experiences is choosing the right college to help me with my first step on a journey of a thousand miles. I hope that my experience at the Rockingham Community College will be one I will never forget because I get to make friends, meet new teachers and maybe help others if I can.…
