I currently have five scholarships. Yes, five! With the amazing support from Marlboro College and outside source, I have been able to cover all my college expenses for the last three years. I would not be able to even think about such education otherwise. There are many things in my life that require me to focus on servival. But now that part of that is taken care of, it is time to focus on my passion.
I geneuenly respect people who are able to take up careers they don't necessarily love just to make a living. I can't do it! I started off in the sciences as an attempt but after a year I switched. Now, I'm studying acting and painting with focus on individual and racial identity. Considering I don't have much of a financially capable background

    Technology has developed so much over the years that we have relied on it so much. Technology is used in pretty much everything we use nowadays. Living in a neighborhood was the greatest advantage, but having kids the same age as I was even better. There was never a time we weren't outside: rain, shine, snow, miserably cold, or even scorchingly hot. There was 4 of us: 3 girls and 1 guy, all around the same age.…

    For thirty minutes, I sat down in my computer chair in my room and tried to relax as much as possible. I turned off my phone, all of the lights, and made sure that I was going to be uninterrupted for the allotted time that I would be trying this out. Once I got comfortable, sitting up right, I began focusing on how I was going to meditate. I had never done this before; and maybe the closest thing that I have ever got to meditating was daydreaming. So that is what I began doing.…

    Somewhat related to cognition and morality, is a child’s social and emotional development. For example, following social cognitive theory, I started to regulate my own behaviors more frequently in middle childhood, instead of relying on outside punishments and rewards to shape my behavior (Rathus, 2011, p. 220). Nonetheless, my social development was quite poor. The first reason I lagged in social development is that my ADHD caused me to lack social awareness and thus get rejected by my peers, preventing me from learning through socialization. My weight also hindered me, particularly when combined with my social “awkwardness”, which together led to me having very few friends throughout middle childhood.…

    For a while, I wasn’t able to see. I spent portions of my life feeling extremely tired and fatigued. In the back of my mind, I had assumed that someone would make the effort to help me, but no one ever did. Was it due to the fact that no one cared or was there a biological process in the human brain that causes people to act this way? Was it due to a person’s natural biology or was it the environment?…

    I thought you were a pure entity. The joyfulness, the confidence that emanates from you captivated me slowly. As I first saw you there with that bewitching energy, I felt a strange feeling. The fervor to please mix with the confusion of my mind trying to comprehend that underlying aura of sexual tension made me a complete slave to your every word. On second thought, I didn’t suspect much, but it was there, latent.…

    Life can be: harsh, cruel, unforgiving, troublesome; you could change that one word to any other adjective and deep down you could still feel that everything is unfair. To some that feeling is a weight that can drag you down and drown you from the inside out. Life isn't good to everyone and it's certainly not going to be fair all the time, it's an unknown concept. Some people think that when life drags them down, and they suffer with their emotions and their thoughts and their hearts at night that they're weak, because they can't survive. But no armor came out of a battle unscathed, because scratches, dents, and deformations showed strength in time.…

    I’ve always been the black sheep of my family. I grew up only knowing adults who did physical labor or worked their way up in a technical profession. The only higher education anyone had was from the community college in town. My mom, sister, grandmothers, aunts, cousins were all young mothers; their work anchored in homemaking and part-time jobs. I had no idea, or encouragement, that I could ever make it to a traditional four-year university, let alone have the resources to pay for it.…

    I lacked simple confidence, I would sit in the back of the classroom and not say a word. I figured if they can’t hear me, then I wouldn’t exist to no one. There was only one place where I felt more confidence about who I was, the pool was my, how you would say comfort place. I was able to swim to the very bottom and stay there for countless minutes thinking about my life, just enjoying the water on my skin and around me. Sometimes I would wish that I could just stay in the water forever and not have to attend class.…

    One of the hardest things that I first experienced while growing up was my dad being deported but it it was easy to overcome thanks to my mom making sure that she took up both roles as a maternal and paternal figure. I learned that sometimes life throws in some rough times but I have to suck it up and just move on in life. However, the most memorable and painful experience was me shattering my tibia not being able to walk for six months. I broke my tibia and stayed at the hospital for three days to get an external fixation instead of a cast. I ended up in a wheelchair, many routine check ups and having to stay at home for three weeks making me fall behind in school.…
