Always Has Been

Good morning/afternoon staff, teachers, and fellow students. I can’t begin to express how honored I am to be up here speaking about the wonderful time I’ve had here. Although, I may not have been here as long as some of my friends, I have definitely had an amazing time here. My favorite memory from this would definitely be Hume Lake. It was amazing even though we got stuck in the forest. I know is sounds like it would be horrible but it was actually really nice. I got to have conversations with…

with each other. My dad would be classified as an aggressive communicator. My mom on the other hand, is entirely a passive communicator. She struggles to get across her emotions clearly. The combination of these two types of communication, is not always a good one. My parents’ relationship is strong and unwavering yet, their ability to communicate well is sometimes lacking. They often times butt heads and are also both very stubborn. I definitely am a mix of both of my parents when it comes to…

and doesn’t feel as if God doesn’t listen to her. Shug tells her that God is always with her and is always listening. Nettie confess to Corrine that she is the children’s aunt and wants to be apart of their lives. She doesn’t want her to be around her kids because she isn’t the greatest influence on children. I didn’t understand why she didn’t want Nettie to be apart of their lives. Throughout the novel, Nettie hasn’t been mentioned much. Does this means that she is moved away from all her…

that have been the most promoted throughout my life are probably religious, family, and national literacy. Since I was little, my family and I have been going to church every Sunday. God and the Bible have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember and has impacted my life in more ways than one. Every member of my family has influenced in one way or another, that is why family literacy is a huge influencer in my life. I am very proud to be an American and by being one it has…

It was exhausting to be in an English educated high school and was planning to go abroad in the coming year. I had been notified I was enrolled in Seattle Central College during my first-year high school in Taiwan. This school began my foreign country’s journey. Everything surprised me first I came here, the education, the environment, the different values from the different foreign people, which I couldn’t adapt the life in Seattle. As the result, I performed the worst in my college life. In…

Children have been taught how to read for generations, we all have different reading levels based on how much interest we have in reading, and who taught us to read and gave us our passion for it. For me, my love of reading started when I was younger reading with my mother after school, on the weekends and any other free time we had. Every day, when I came home from school I read whether it was by myself or with my mom. She would read with me every day until I finally learned how and could read…

person. I always seemed to rely on someone else, and could never seem to do things on my own. Like always expecting my mother would have a home cooked meal when I came home from school in third and fourth grade. Or when I when I got older, say twelve or thirteen years old, -about the time I was able to do stupid things with my stupid friends- when I relied on my father to give me an allowance of 20 dollars every week. But now, at the age of seventeen, with a job for over a year now that has…

It’s tough growing up with siblings and then having them all leave to go to college. My sister Katie is my last sibling to go to college, and it has been a big change in my life going from having three siblings at home to two siblings at home to just katie and I then to just me. Katie and I are pretty close. I can tell her anything and the day the we moved her into college I was devastated. I had felt that apart of me left. The day we moved her in it was very windy and having to carry all of her…

‘Picture human beings as thought they were in an underground cave-like dwelling. They are in bonds… and see nothing except the shadows cast by a fire on the wall of the cave… they are like us’. The current society that we are living in has already been widely manufactured; commodity and the media have already colonies our social life. People choose not to understand the real world, the remaining become imbedded and gaze upon he spectacle. As a result we got so mesmerize by the beauty of the…
