My childhood Marion summers were filled with the traditional games played by all the little kids. My sister, brothers, and I would go outside and all the neighborhood children would be outside ready to play. We would play all day until the street lights came on. All the kids would fill the street and play but we would have to move so the cars could get through. The big kids would always get to pick what we played and it would always be tag, hide and seek, or red rover. I wasn’t the best at tag or hide and seek, but red rover was my game. I was bigger than everyone else even though I was one of the youngest. The big kids would always pick me first because I was big and strong. The other kids would be scared when I ran towards them

My dad is a great person, leader, and father. He would give his soul to help anybody whenever they needed help. Nobody could hate my dad. Everybody comes up to me and asks how my dad is doing. This gets annoying after a while, but also shows me that he knows everybody and they all like him. He taught me everything i know. People always tell me that when I was a baby I would never leave his side. There’s no question to it, I was a daddy’s boy. I am blessed to have my dad in my life and growing up with him teaching me to be a man really shows me how good I have it. I am the man I am today because he would press manners and how to treat people into me ever since I could walk and talk. My dad was devoted to have his kids be the best the could be and he will not give up until he accomplishes his goals. I have promised him to do the best I can to stay out of trouble and do the best I can in anything I do. He promised me that he will always be there for me and I couldn’t ask for anything greater than that. My dad was always looking after me. Whenever I would get a cut or burn or something like that, he would be the one to help me and even kiss my boo boo’s to make them feel better. He was the best father anyone could ever ask

    Stereotypes In America

    America was founded by the founding fathers under the principles that “all men are created equal that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.'' (Corley.1) Throughout the years, we as a nation have not exercised this belief and instead discriminated each other greatly. This led to much destruction on our very own streets where even many innocent people and bystanders have lost their lives. My vision for America is to come together as a nation and put an end to discrimination amongst women, differences of religion and how races are stereotyped in our society today.…

    Television’s role in Americans’ lives has grown since its invention. Many people tune in to television for entertainment and information, be it something as trivial as weather forecast or something as big as a terrorist attack. In many cases, what people see on the television programs becomes their perceived reality. With that being said, it is comprehensible for some people to unknowingly accept the stereotypes about minorities, such as Asian-Americans, that are promoted by television, thus expecting certain behaviors from individuals of these groups. But what effects do stereotypes have on Asian-Americans in the United States?…

    Growing up in a home where I was very sheltered from the outside world made me naive and although it protected my innocence, it hid the true colors of the world from me. Spending time with my dad allowed me to be open to a different way of life, it showed me that not everyone can always have what they want. He showed me what living in poverty was truly like, and taught me many great lessons about what the real world was like. I got to see firsthand what it was like to struggle and have the fear of not having enough money to get by. I have witnessed some things I will never forget, I realize that life does not always play out in the best of ways, but it 's what makes everyone unique.…
