That quote describes what I felt like after being in Chicago.Last February I was given the opportunity to attend the LEAD conference for Student Council.

Going into this event, I thought it would just be some seminars…

Ashlynne Darling World Religion Dr. Pratt 4/26/18 Jainism Religion is universal. Plain and simple. Different religions exist across different areas of the world. It is crazy to think how many different religions there are, and that there is a possibility that some religions aren’t even accounted for. While religion is universal, religious beliefs vary depending on what religion one is practicing or observing. One religion, such as Christianity, is going to have a whole different set of beliefs…

are many issues in this world. I went to four, or five different schools in three different counties; moreover, I took all kind of different world history classes. First, in world history we always talk about war. Wars take over in our world. Second, people always blame other counties for their problems. Finally, they want the world change itself when they have to work together to change it. If people want to change the world they need to learn the purpose of learning world history, how to stop…

Everyone looks at culture a little different from everyone else because no human being has the same exact mind. For example, there are several definitions for culture in the dictionary because not everyone sees that only one can fix it. Also, because of having a lot of different cultures, people may look at culture for one another from how they are grown up. Culture, to me, refers to how citizens appearance is and how they eat around other people and in their own homes. Culture also means how…

provide you with some background regarding how I ended up going there. From an early age, I have been interested in drama. I loved going to see plays, where alternate realities would form and come to life onstage, whisking the audience into a different world. It exhilarated me, and I wanted to be a part of it. However, I was not able to get involved in the theater arts until fifth grade, because my too-small-to-even-have-a-hospital community did not offer an acting program. When I was in…

They each originated in several different places, such as Germany, Austria, and New York. Nobody would look at dance as a sport, but in competition, it’s considered a dance sport. During World War I, they considered dancing the oldest form to approach. Germany and Austria forbade ballroom dancing during World War I. People…

The article “South L.A. student finds a different world at Cal” written by Kurt Streeter was a true story of Kashawn Campbell, who was struggling in his first English writing class at the University of California, Berkeley (“UC Berkeley”), one of the best public universities in the US. Campbell was raised in one of the roughest neighborhoods in South Los Angeles, Jefferson, where composed of Latinos and blacks exclusively.

It is often interesting viewing your world and reality through the eyes of other people, listening as they decipher and make assumptions, none all that accurate, about the facts, while you 're left to live those facts. Americans have a lot of opinions about Haiti and about as many questions too. As soon as people know that I’m Haitian, I get flooded with questions that I highly doubt they want the answers to: “Why is Haiti so poor?” “Do you do voodoo?” “Where does all the relief money go?” “Why…

inevitably as technology advances how they do things. Different things will appeal to them, different things will appeal to them. So each generation will face its own version of reality. This is because they grew up being taught different things, they grow up with different technology and people don’t like to change so they can 't keep up. When we are young we learn a lot of things, it is during our early years where we form our basic world view, that view doesn 't really change that much after…
