became depressed, forcing me to change my lifestyles and become the person I am today. Race is something that we are born with, we can’t change it. We are born with it and have to bear the injustice that also comes with it. In Learning To Be White by Doctor Thandeka, She says in the preface that “no one is born white”, which can also be used as no one chooses to be born their race (preface). It is one of the biggest factors that causes discrimination. It started for me at the age of four-years…

“seek for things outside of yourself” which means that each person should trust themselves and their intuition and to not go searching in other people for that (Emerson 19).

face. In this moment my head is completely clear and I am completely focused. To many people running is a punishment, but to me it is the complete opposite.

I was named after my aunt, who now resides in Atlanta, because God told her that I would be pleasant and prosperous. I had a brother named James who had cerebral palsy and was paralyzed from the waist down. I was homeschooled until I reached sixth grade so as you can imagine James was my only best friend…

While I did not always see this to be something that greatly influenced who I am as a person, I have recently discovered the contrary. This past winter I trained diligently to become a level-one ski instructor at Bradford Ski Resort. Initially, I did not know what to expect. I am the oldest of four children,…

Over the years, multiple different sources have shaped the way I think, act, and which beliefs I hold. My family, teachers, peers, and many more have heavily impacted my current state of self.

myself responding differently. I am certain I am not the only person who experiences such varied effects, for each time I am in a museum I observe others’ emotional reactions.
