I Am

“I am eleven” and “3 Wishes” are 2 amazing pieces of work both of which are documentaries that talk about children how they feel towards an array of different questions. Although they do so many things differently. So how do they compare? Well “I am eleven” is a filmed documentary on eleven-year-olds all around the world. It asks the children in the documentary how they feel towards topics such as love, bullying, war and what makes them different compared to other 11-year-olds. The children in…

When I was in High School, the idea of going to College was something that always crossed my mind. It was about 6 months before my high school graduation that several potential factors led me to start college. After graduating from high school, I thought about College as a career advantage and the primary reason that led me attend college was to unlock better future opportunities. Second, I attended College because I wanted to invest in my Career Success and become an educated human being.…

I am stereotyped in a lot of different ways. Over the years I have discovered stereotypes about myself as a teen and they don’t sound like who I am on the inside at all. Most of the labels I am given are negative and I don’t act like the labels I am given. Most people tell me that I looked mean before I started talking to them because I have a face that looks like i'm mad all the time when I’m really not, and others say I never pay attention or get confused a lot because I always have to ask to…

that have defined who I am today. From a young age, I have struggled with severe anxiety and, more recently, depression (past 3 years) and disordered eating (past year). The reality of my future has always been a huge question mark followed by intense fear and a vow to never plan what I'm going to do with my life ever again (it never works by the way). However, in my own little world, where I am not afraid, I've dreamed of acting. Television, film, local theatre, anything. I practice monologues…

I agree with everyone that I was once a criminal, but I changed from the past. I may have a bad past, but that does not mean those past events should dictate my current and future. We are in a society that accepts the canons and principles of Christianity. Jesus came to save us from sin, the sin that we committed. He came for the sinners. I believe when I met him, my life changed. I had to shed my shameful past behavior and embrace the elements of his teachings. I agree I messed with the cops…

Here’s some shocking news; I’m Muslim. Most people do not expect to hear that I associate with the religion of Islam because what they see is a tall, white girl with red hair and green eyes who would walk outside in a sports bra and shorts. Contrary to what my image may suggest, I do pray, fast, and attend Mosque in my hijab. I come from a very religious household. Being Bosnian, there is an even greater emphasis on being proud to practice Islam due to the attempt to ethnically cleanse Bosnia of…

One of the things that I still have a hard time trying to understand is racism. I ask myself many times why people can’t get along with each other and put aside their differences for once and just to treat everyone equal. I also think about how unrealistic it is to ask for something so simple because people will always judge no matter how many movements or speeches you make, or how much you try to stop it because people stick to their beliefs and are ignorant to change even if it is for good.…

tragedies and horrifying memories to both soldiers and Americans at home. Both “I am the Grass,” a short story where a man loses himself and tries to fix it, and “How to Tell a True War Story,” a short story about a man who talks about his friend's death, are complex war stories written by two American soldiers. These two authors use different rhetorical strategies to justify their perspective of the Vietnam war. The story “I am the Grass” is from a infitailary soldier’s point of view. He…
