Car Culture Research Paper

I think that the most impact of me changing into how I am today would be the car culture. The car culture is a place where I really adapted into. I learned about how the whole scene works and the different kinds of people. When I lived in California a group of friends that I had were car enthusiast, they would talk about the meets going down, the events, etc. I was more of a regular person at the time who cared nothing else except video games.

But ever since I got into the car scene things changed for me. Before I was this loser kid inside the house playing Call Of Duty all day. I was also a sad person because not many people liked me either. But after adapting to such a cool culture I started to meet a lot of wonderful people. Even people with almost the same story as mine. I never thought that I would be able to meet many

I?m happy that I met friends that introduced me into this culture even with all the hate. I became a much better and happier person. I even learned a lot of things about the community as a whole and how cars work from under the hood. I even met a good amount of friends that I thought I would never have. I?m glad to be a part of this interesting community with a lot of other people. Some people may not understand why we like the things we do and why do we do the things we do. But the things we like and do are what makes us who we truly are inside. I am proud to be a car enthusiast and I will always be. Never expect your dreams to come from the factory, build

    A few transformations and developments about me over summer or maybe even the last time I thought about how much I have changed. One social transformation I went through would be a change of views on how I see the world, second would be my interest and hobbies, doing and liking things that I wouldn’t particularly thought I would even like or do. Lastly one thing that hasn’t really changed would be the love I have for my dearest mother.…

    Other culture that I had come across while in high school influenced me to be more open minded and increased my curiosity about other people in the world.

    “Who am I?” This is a question that everyone my age has likely asked themselves. The first thing that needs to be figured out is, what defines a person? Does family history decide who you are going to be? I believe it is the things you pick up from the people you are around, the things you go through, and the things you learn in your life that decide who you will become.…

When I drive my mindset is different, I think about the people on the road driving and the importance of their life. I think about how they have families and people who love them. They’re not just cars on the roads to me, they’re people.…

    I am an alien, an Italian immigrant who first learned how to change when he was eleven years of age. I'm going to start off by saying that in Italy there is a scarcity of change, making personal development seldom welcomed. People remain in the same socioeconomic class as their parents; the son of a butcher is destined to become a butcher himself. People rarely change houses or move to new cities; a person is expected to live and die in the same small town. People are afraid to embark on new culinary journeys; an Italian is taught to only eat Italian foods, no exceptions.…

    Having never taken the DISC assessment before, I was unsure about what to expect. I thought it was fairly accurate in many ways, but I felt that it very much tapped into what I consider my “work” self and did not cover much of who I am outside of that. I scored a high average score on the D spectrum. This seemed accurate, as I am relatively competitive overall, I like looking at the big-picture, I don’t mind taking risks, I can be critical of those that don’t measure up to my standards and I am very interested in new and innovative things.…
