Why should I respect my classmates? I respect my classmates because I know how much words and actions hurt. You never know what a person is going…

Society places unrealistic expectations on girls of how they should look. The poem “Barbie Doll” written by Marge Piercy is about a girl who is pressured to look beautiful by her classmates in school. However, her classmates’ expectations were unrealistic. When the girl couldn’t take the pressure anymore of trying to look pretty, she kills herself. I determined the theme of this poem by its title and figurative language. First, I figured out the poem’s theme by its title and figurative language…

I have always been an advocate for young children learning other languages, especially Spanish, because I feel that they will have more career opportunities since they will be able to communicate better with everyone. From the time that my daughter was in kindergarten through third grade, every child had Spanish as an Encore class. Unfortunately, when Congress felt that children were not getting enough physical activity, this class was cut from schools while adding an extra physical education…

this paper, there is going to be information about some leadership roles that I had performed over the course of my life. For instance, a formal leadership role that I recently had performed in college was on a research paper assignment that one of classmates needed my help because he was receiving a bad grade on the statistics class, so he needed to get a really good grade on the paper in order to pass the class. I encouraged him to do some research before we get together because that could…

My first image, which conveyed detail, depicted a banquet being served on the Dean Dome basketball court. I chose to use this image for several reasons, including its repetitiveness, unique color, and relative uniformity. Although many of my classmates chose to photograph minute details of a single subject, such as a piece of wood or stream of running water, I found that this photograph was more expressive of detail in a much larger subject. When taking this photo, I intended to capture as many…

Through investing this time to build relationships as a mentor and role model, I strove to show these girls…
