Bring Me the Horizon

it enough for her not being able to handle things the way she wanted for herself. As time goes by and learning from experience and life lessons, Janie was able to say “been horizon and back”. Showing she has completed her finding of her horizon: “So Ah’m back home agin and Ah’m satisfied tuh be heah. Ah done been tuh de horizon and back and now Ah kin set heah in mah house and live by comparisons” (191). She has found herself as a whole and lived to the fullest of her life without any regrets.…

unwavering and headstrong. Being nineteen, which is still considered young and with my youth comes inexperience which is one of my problems and it’s something I know Alpha Phi Alpha will help me with. It will expose me to new situations and bring me in contact with more people and therefore expand horizons; which I would have a hard time meeting on my own. I can only imagine the amount of knowledge a 110-year-old fraternity will have. It would be an honor to able to access such a resource. I…

scriptures. These scriptures weren’t random scribbles by any means. They were scriptures that were based on laws that governed said civilizations, along with the environments that surrounded them.

I believe that volunteering expands horizons and allows individuals to experience different environments and situations. It shows who you are as a person and reflects the positive character traits you have. Relay for life is a life-changing event that allows everyone in communities across the globe to come together to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones, and help fight back.

and being abstract allows theatre to bring the world together, just like American Institute for Foreign Study. Throughout high school I continued to be involved in theatre for those reasons, and still enjoy writing plays. There, this creative outlet taught me the power of taking calculated risks, such as studying abroad and applying to be a first generation college student. These risks ended up becoming my greatest achievements, as they broadened my horizons, especially when I was admitted to…

While reading “Nature” by Ralph Waldo Emerson, chapter III really stood out to me. In high school my class really looked in depth on Emerson’s work of “Nature” and it really helped me view on what Emerson was trying to say. While writing this chapter I believe Emerson wanted to focus on spiritual beauty, physical beauty an idealistic beauty. It seems Emerson thinks highly of everything that is beautiful about humankind. I believe Emerson is trying to tell the reader that beauty has a lot more…

enhanced my educational journey have allowed me to see the world differently, a gift that I hope to pass on to others. Most immigrant children like myself and children back home in Ghana do not have access to the many programs that I have been a part of.

ability to transform this feeling into reality. In addition, the opportunities being offered enables me to give back to the community that I grew up in my entire life. Also, volunteering at the hospital would be my “work experience” developing myself into a more mature person.

Therefore, the…
