started deteriorating. I was in a relationship with a boy named Cole, where we dated for almost a year. At first, we were all for each other, we were attracted to each other, we were able to disclose with one another, we were similar, and thought we loved one another. We had known each other prior to the relationship but were only friends through church. Our relationship ended about a month ago due to the amount of arguing that was occurring. After analyzing our relationship, I realized that we…
After taking the HUM 270H course and learning about leadership and volunteering, I have decided to change my major. I will now be majoring in Nonprofit Administration. When deciding what I would chose for my service learning project I wanted to incorporate something that I could connect with and I would enjoy doing. For my project I made goals and planned out the activities, I learned more about myself and the community, as well as how this project connected to concepts learned in class. I…
auditorium as you are called to the front of the stage. All eyes are on you as you walk towards the principal who is holding the piece of paper for which you have worked so hard; all of the hours of work, studying, and preparing. Accepting your diploma, you smile and think about your life ahead. You have just graduated high school- now off to college. How will you be remembered as a student? What will you have done? A legacy is how you are remembered in all aspects of your life- the mark that…
spoke around me was Farsi. Going to school was one of the hardest things for me. My parents didn't get far in school which resulted in them not knowing english. I couldn’t talk, speak, or write in English, yet I was forced into going to this world where it sounded like everyone was talking gibberish. Feeling scared and confused as to why my teachers and peers don’t respond when I tell them I have to go to the bathroom. All I ever received was blank stares. Having strangers all around me whom I…
also through ability/disability. All three of the experiences made me realize not just where my position was in society but it made me understand other people’s social locations. When I was young I never truly realized how privileged nor did I realize the differences between race. I lived in a nice and comfortable house, got most of the clothes or toys I wanted, and went on many family vacations. But it never really clicked to me that not everyone else lived like me, until the age of twelve. I…
everyday tasks and obstacles like mobility and sanitation. These challenges impacted my everyday well-being which was difficult to coup and become accustom to. My options became scarce due to my mobility which was the greatest challenge of the all. It all started in the summer of 2013 when I was riding my bicycle around my neighborhood with my brother and sister. We decided to separate so my brother and sister went in a different direction. While I ventured off on my own I decided to take a…
an office, I could possibly fill an office manager’s role. At an insurance company, I may work with patients claims. However, I could also end up being a glorified secretary. I’m not very good at making coffee, so this option would be a problem for me. Working with patients on a daily basis is always a…
be when I get older. Before I can even think about that, a nurse walked in. She was slender with a kind-hearted face and dark with very curly hair. Her hair reminded me of mine…

turned of. The clarity of my writing reflects both the organization of my writing as well as how I comprehend and receive ideas. The way I will will increase my writings clarity, is by thinking about the subject first and then go on to making an outline. The outline will help me spread my ideas out in front of me, as if it were proof read beforehand. With this method of practice I will be able to look back on my main ideas and check whether I have reached the correct objective of every subject…
