Experience

Here is the thing about an Immigrant child, we all have different experience. We all come from different background, different economic status, different family views and most importantly at different stages of our life. Someone who left their country when they were 8 would have a different experience than someone who left when they were 15. I am one of those people who left when I was 15. I left during the 2005 election. The 2005 election for me is the 9/11 for Americans, the Derg Regime for…

Pennsylvanian’s experience The newspaper that I choose was the “Pennsylvania evening post” and the dates of July 6, 1779, Nov. 8 1777, Jan. 10, 1782, and Sept. 25, 1783 as the key points for during the American Revolution. I am trying to gain the understanding of the war from the perspectives of Pennsylvanian’s citizens and how their daily life changes during the war. From what I understand that the overall experience for the Pennsylvanian’s citizens was somewhat fair since the war was not a…

The Endoscopy Experience When searching whatsoever the developments in science and medicine, the methods we could perform today are astounding. The way and quality by which experts can gather details about your body or fix disorder would appear like sci-fi only half a century ago. Ingesting a video camera that can take 1000's of images from the small intestine so a physician can view them just like a movie and identify an issue sounds a lot more like a chapter of Star Wars than a real procedure…

As I look back on my past experiences of working with children and adolescents, I realize that I have had an innate calling to mentor those who share a similar financial and social background as my own. I grew up in a single-parent household for the majority of my life with my mother and younger brother; my parents separated when I was 4 years old and the divorce was official 3 years later. Throughout all of the chaos and the absence of my father in my life, my brother and I did very well in…

My personal experience with diversity was an event that stuck with me in a profound way occurred a few years ago. I once considered myself aware of the differences in people having worked for a company that was committed to diversity because I had attended classes and training to better understand the differences among people. As a foster parent I have helped and mentored many families. One family has remained close in my heart for the last 17 years. When the children returned home I stayed…

The Transformation of an Individual Death is something that is inevitable but it is something that we all must confront in our lifetime. Usually as people we tend to live arrogantly , but we are coming to the end of our lives we change as individual. When confronted with real life situations such as being diagnosed with a deadly disease we tend to transform in a sense of our beliefs and have strange realizations about life . this cosmic touch makes people laying on their deathbed rethink…

Field Experience at Wildwood and Ernest Manning My cohort of ten was assigned to visit two schools over a two-week period with a full week dedicated to each location. The two schools were Wildwood elementary and Ernest Manning high school and while their relative closeness to one another would suggest that some Wildwood students may eventually be at Ernest Manning, they are opposites in terms of their status, how they carry themselves, and what they believe to be most important for students.…

jealous man, but his love for Ybón blinded him. His burning desire to find love nearly cost him his life. Nevertheless, Oscar made escaped the cane field barely alive, following the same scenario of his mother 's near death experience in the same cane fields. After the experience, Beli forced Oscar to return to home in the United States. Despite almost being beaten to death, the first thing that Oscar told Yunior was, "I kissed a girl, Yunior. I finally kissed a girl" (Díaz 305). Although nearly…

I was born in a Venezuela, South America, where seasons basically do not exist. I was not used to experience the changes in nature as the curse of a year goes by. The first time I was able to experience such an amazing change in nature, was when I traveled to the United States for the first time. I love all the four seasons composing a year, but my favorite one, with no doubt in mind, is fall. The reason why fall is my favorite season is because all the color diversity in the environment plus…
