non-fiction, so that is a major accomplishment goal with this piece. Right now it is April (mostly through the school year), so the students are familiar with each other and with me.

1. Select any quote about leadership, and share how it relates to your core principles. “I never thought in terms of being a leader. I thought very simply in terms of helping others.” - John Hume. The quote perfectly explains my values regarding my view of partnerships and cooperations.

Before this class started, I thought we were going to just read several biographies and write about them. However, we went beyond just writing about biographies. I analyzed works written by Thoreau and then wrote about myself and my mother. For the first essay, “The Question and Answers” essay, I immensely struggled writing about Thoreau’s question in his essay “Wild Apples”, “Why wild apples are significant ?’. I was unsure at first on how to structure my essay,so I asked one of my friends. In…

Have you ever noticed that alarm clocks never come with the option of sirens for your daily wake-up call? Perhaps this is for good reason - I do not recommend it to anyone on any occasion. On November 1st, 2003, I was abruptly awakened by the horrifying sound of sirens, a sound that did nothing but put a deep pit in my stomach as I crawled out of bed that Saturday morning. In a panic, my mom quickly grabbed my brother and me and rushed us to our neighbor’s house. We spent the next few hours…

from shallow to deep understanding. My personal understanding of Mozart’s Symphony in G minor has been greatly developed by two articles: “Mozart’s Symphony in G minor, K.550: An Aesthetic Analysis” by A.

Similarly to Douglass, once Franklin got a taste of knowledge, he yearned with all of his might to learn as much as he possibly could.

Franklin’s pursuit for education only grew…

Between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s philosophy—nonviolence and civil disobedience—and Malcolm X—any means that is necessary—I would most identify myself with the philosophy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s due to the aspect of nonviolence and civil disobedience that is peaceful in arguing a movement for equality. Additionally, some would choose the means like Malcolm X in achieving something for…
