Bowling ball

There are more than 7 billion people on this planet known as Earth. Each of these people belong to a culture that distinguishes them from the people that not only immediately surround them, but live vast distances away from them as well.

At any rate, I decided to delve deeper into…

thousand tiles, my mother decided to move into an apartment, that was less of an expense and easier to maintain. It was the house I had lost my first tooth, learned to swim, and was the place I loved and felt the safest. I felt my heart crack like a bowling ball falling on a porcelain tile. In my naïve little mind I comforted myself with the thought that if I continued to excel in school and everything else someday my family and I would return to the…

Then all of a suddenthe…

When asked the question, “Why do you want to become an RPLS major?” I automatically think of this past year. A year ago, I was unsure what I wanted to do as a career. I had declared a major in Athletic Training, but I wasn’t set on making it my career. I was having a conversation with a friend one day, and she advised me to look into the RPLS major. To be honest, I didn’t know much about the major prior to talking to her. When I went to research the major, I learned about the emphasis of…

It is often disputed as to whether our education shapes our identity. Education itself does not shape identity, but friends, foes, and exposure to different interests all play a role in shaping one’s identity. Friends grow up with us, offering moral support and adding little touches to our personalities. Foes, on the other hand, can have negative impacts on our beings. It’s these negative experiences, however, that shape our present identities. The varying interests of our peers that we are…
