Manda Humphrey
Honors English Memoir
Personally, I don’t consider my life to be extremely unique or interesting. I don’t have any musical or athletic talents and I’m not a prodigy in any sense of the word. My skills are more out of the ordinary; for example, I love to decorate and design rooms, and I’m constantly changing mine. I have passion for only a handful of things, one being my family, especially my mother. I also feel very passionate about feminism and the state of Michigan, specifically Marquette, Michigan. I feel as though these three topics make up a good portion of who I am as a person.
I could write a novel about my mother and all of the things she’s done for me. First off, she is the most successful and powerful woman I know. …show more content…
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always been an advocate of girl power, loved movies with strong female leads, and even fought for equality with boys. Now, I’m studying more about the reality of gender inequality and realizing how serious it is in some countries. My mother always talks with me about this subject and also believes strongly in it. I also am not afraid to promote my beliefs to other people. I’ll talk to my friends about it and inform them about the inequalities going on all over the world, and even in our own country. I truly believe that being a feminist is a huge part of my life and of my experiences as I’m growing up. It makes me more aware of the reality of gender …show more content…
I was born in Texas and lived there until I was six years old. I loved it there, but there was always something missing. I learned to talk and walk, ride a bike, and even read there. But after we moved to Michigan, everything fell into place. I learned more about the value of friends and family, and deciding that having a strong family base is the most important thing to me. I am so glad my family moved because I have a nagging feeling that I wouldn’t be as happy if we’d stayed in Texas. The decision didn’t come easy to my parents, about whether or not to move, and they ultimately decided on Michigan. I really enjoy my life in Michigan and wouldn’t want anything to be different. This state has truly become a part of me.
It’s no surprise that my location and family make up a big part of who I am, but feminism is something some people may not know about me. Passion is something that makes us, as humans, truly happy. Most people don’t know what my passions are because it’s not something you can usually figure out by examining someone physically. I take pride in who I am, and my family, whereabouts, and passion definitely contribute to that. I couldn’t ask for a better life or better people to live it
