first experience in my life that has an impact on my personality is when I was a child my parents got divorced and I moved in with my aunt in Florida. When my parents got divorced I was around two or three years old, therefore I was still building trust with those around me. I did not see my parents for about three to four months because my mother believed it was best to live with my aunt while they were not fighting. Not only was it a traumatic experience for me because I was far away from my parents…
health. My ideals about wellness comes from my father. My father is a chef and he is working in a restaurant. He works 11 hours a day, 6 days a week. As an old man, he really works very hard. Even though he works 6 days a week and he feels fine, but he is feeling unhappy in his heart. From my observation, he don’t like to work a lot but he has to do this for his family. In my opinion, wellness means “happy” inside and outside at the same time. To my point of view, the most important in my life is spiritual…
remember a time when my Father was not in the kitchen cooking. He has always been my main influence in the kitchen due to his will to try new foods and recipes on a weekly basis. My Mother never knew how to cook, so this is a common ground where my Father and I have always bonded upon. Luckily I was given his gene of cooking that has made me able to prosper in the kitchen, unlike my Mother. However, back in Cleveland I was able to cook for myself every day. I never had to cook for myself, but I wanted to…
I started my career, and I was extremely enthusiastic to the extent that I spent most of my time at work. During the first 4months, I used to go from the early morning and stay there till night. At the beginning, I was happy that I perform well and my manager was proud of my work. However, it was not until the end of the fifth month when I felt depressed due to overwork. I hated that my life is all about work, and I do not have any time to spend with my family or at least with myself; I stopped…
years old, at this stage of my life, I supposed to be like a normal teenage boy, playing sports like soccer or basketball, skipping school and smoke cigarettes, have lots of girlfriends from the same school that I attended or just hang out with my buddies afterschool at the arcade place, however, this was not me, I was different in many ways, I was gay, but, I did not knew why, when or how I felted this way. It took me many years of my life to realized and fully accept myself, accept that I was different…
graduated from Washington Sate University in 2012, I left with a network of life long friends, a double major in Psychology and Sociology title added to my resume, as well as the desire to learn and explore outside of the classroom. I traveled throughout Thailand and Bali, becoming inspired by yoga and the art of meditation. Returning home I engulfed myself in a demanding spiritual and physical training course, earning my certificate as a Registered Yoga Teacher. Then moved to St. John, VI; four…
Every summer I spend 6 weeks away from civilization, canoeing and working hard with group of 8-12 young women. I have been doing this for the past 6 summers of my life. Throughout these summers people have told me how much I will value the time I spend in the wilderness. They tell me these experiences that I am so fortunate to have is something that I will truly never forget. But every time I heard this I brushed it off seeing as I was a young kid and all I cared about was having fun (which I did)…

definitely had its highs and lows, but overall this semester was a wonderful experience, that I am glad I was face with. This semester was filled with many challenges and learning opportunities that were not necessarily always inside of the classroom. Before I can tell you how this semester has affected me, first I must let you get to know a bit of a backstory about me and my desires to become an educator. My entire life, I have been a nurturer. I have always wanted to help people become a better…
decided to change my way to lose weight about five weeks ago. Before that, I control my weight by only take a lunch for an entire day’s energy. However, since I began my intern, I have to get up very early and work to 5 PM. So just having one meal a day is definitely not enough for me. But also I know if I take more than one meal everyday my weight will go up. Then I came up with the idea I should do some exercise, because it can not only control my weight but also make myself physically stronger…
