My Sociological Biography Place of Birth To begin, both of my parents were born and raised in the Dominican Republic, living about 30 minutes away from each other, yet they met in the neighboring island of Puerto Rico. Even though I consider myself Dominican, since both of my families are so, I was born in Puerto Rico. More specifically, I was born in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico, on Monday, April 14, 1997 at 9am in the Auxilio Mutuo Hospital. I consider myself to have a dual identity because of this,…

While I have applied all of these principles in my life, two of those principles have played an important role in an activity outside of my academic life. Ever since the summer before my junior year I have become a monthly volunteer at Mecklenburg Community Church, in their youth ministry and I have strongly applied the principles of service and empathy…

Last night I slept soundly and deeply. I was a bit upset that I couldn’t learn more about Ava and Becca, but today I will be able to. After a breakfast of some meat, some warmed-up vegetables, and a drink of water, we began to discuss how we would go further with our plan. Professor West pointed out that since we found Ava in the rubble, there could be more survivors. Given the very low chance of finding more people, I'm guessing we won't look for long. We will travel to other cities I suppose.…

fascinated with the idea of working with people in my community. I went from 6th grade to a large public school, where the social stress affected me so much that I dropped out of 7th grade my last week of school. After that I found my way to the Network Charter School, where I met people who supported the things I had to say, and who listened and encouraged me to speak out. I became part of a youth action group, YEPSA, that worked to…

A study by Pat António Goldsmith found that eighth-grade black and Latino students are more likely than similar white students to have “high occupational expectations, educational aspirations, and concrete attitudes” (2004). This research also suggests that black and Latinos in segregated schools have great optimism about their future education, and have more positive attitudes about class and teachers, especially if the teachers are of minority background. Goldsmith notes that this results can…

After I left Charter of Grapevine, I was brought the Buckner Ranch in Burnet, Texas. My parents brought me there. I was dropped off and after a little bit of time they left.

Another reason for virtual schools is to provide a safe environment for students who fall victim to bullies. Unfortunately bullying is becoming very popular in our society, and it can mainly be found in our schools. Students who feel as though they are somewhat superior spend their time destructing their piers, which in reality is a reflection of their own insecurities. Statistics have shown that one in four children admit to having been bullied at some point in their education. Also,…
