I bet you’re wondering how I got into the program and what I’ve been through to get where I am now once you continue reading you’ll find out why.

This is America “This is America, speak English.” It is sad to say that I am not the only person who has had this said to them. It has been more than once that I have had concerned American citizens interrupt my Spanish conversations with my mother or friends just to tell me to speak English. I never get furious at comments like those. Although they are upsetting, I would never think of lashing out and being rude back.…
In Testaments Betrayed Milan Kundera describes a situation during the Prague Spring where someone’s private life is intermixed with their public life. This person was Jan Prochazka, who was a major figure during the Prague Spring. Prochazka commonly had conversations with a opposition figure, Professor Vaclav Cemy and their conversations were recorded and broadcasted throughout several radio stations. Milan Kundera depicts this as a horrid act and explains how people, no matter who they are, act differently in private than in public. He also states, “…private and public are two essential different worlds and the respect for that difference is the indispensable condition…for a man to live free,” which portrays Kundera’s beliefs on how the two “worlds” should never collide.…
Not everyone has something positive to make them who they are today. However, every so often it’s more common to have something negative, and so it can push you beyond your own boundaries. The person I am today is because of my big sister Thalia. In “Me Talk Pretty One Day” the narrators influence was his teacher, she was rude to her students just for mispronouncing French and judge her students on what they like on the first day of class and she never changed her attitude during the course of the story, I think she was a negative influence on him. (Sedaris, 635).…

In my life, I should remember the aphorism ”Tart words make no friends; a spoonful of honey will catch more flies than a gallon of vinegar” when I get mad. Franklin’s wise words can influence me to remain cordial; even if I am upset with the other person. By remaining friendly I will likely get more accomplished with them, and possibly even get the results that I wanted to begin with. On the contrary, if I would speak harshly when I get angry I will most likely just make the other person mad as well, and get nothing accomplished. Franklin’s words are truly insightful: providing us all with an underlying knowledge of how our words can affect others.…

If you witness people teasing their “friend” and they are saying personal things and hurtful things, it is not right. Don’t be a bystander, step up and tell them to leave everyone alone and that it is not funny. Being mean hurts people feelings. You don’t know what goes on with other people behind closed doors. If some girls are picking on their so called “friend” then they wouldn’t be making it all personal and yelling and teasing them everyday about it.…
