If I Did It

Rationale Essay: When I was in high school, English came easy to me. I got straight A’s in every single English course from freshman to senior year, while expressing minimal interest and giving minimal effort. No matter what the subject, or the type of paper, I always ended the assignment with a good grade. This did not prepare me well at all for English at the University level. When I received my first essay assignment, I was sure it was going to be a “piece of cake”. I assumed I was just…

Heartbreak Whenever I was a junior in high school, I fell completely in love with my best friend. I know this sounds cliché but this experience lead to many lessons. I did not realize another human being could have such an impact on my life. Love is crazy because it is unexpected and smacks you right in the face. I did not realize this person would be my everything for the next two years. I not only learned the true meaning of heartbreak, but the complexities of love and how it can transform…

I was in middle school when I remember going to the pier with my mother and my grandmother. We started the day, exploring, because my grandma was visiting the country. I remember telling them that I had a crush on a boy from school which was very awkward to tell at first. They told me about how I shouldn't have a boyfriend till the age 18 and they told me that I had to wait to have sex till I get married. Mostly my grandmother who is very religious believed that sex before marriage is completely…

it also targeted homosexual, women and children. A topic I found interesting about the holocaust was the idea of hidden children. It has rarely been talked about how they hid the identities of Jewish children by given them fake papers and hid them in different places during the holocaust so they could survive. The Hidden children of the holocaust is a topic I never learned about throughout my education career. I chose this topic because I am really interested in learning about the children…

invisible backpack”. The paper provides fifty examples of her take on what White Privilege is. The example that I chose to write based on is “I will feel welcomed and “normal” in the usual walks of public life, Institutional and social”. The reason I have chosen this statement was I felt I could tell my story on how I do not feel welcomed in some social places, and I feel judged and as though I am being analyzed by my appearance at times as well. And these are going to have more details and…

Miles Ahead movie is very different from the previous jazz performances I attended, of course that was anticipated considering it's a movie about Miles Davis not an actual live concert. To start, I did not like this movie. To me, the movie portrayed Miles Davis as a bad-ass, ready to kill man, instead of a wonderful performer which he was and still is. The Evolution of Jazz book depicted Miles Davis differently than the movie did, in the textbook they showed Miles as a musician ready to face…

Mrs. Winn’s kindergarten class was probably one of my favorite elementary classes because I had my best guy friend, Cameron, in the class, and it was obviously an easy class for me. I remember whenever we colored anything or did any drawings, my teacher would always compliment my coloring abilities because I knew how to color within the lines; all the other kids had scribbles outside of the lines and their drawings would not be as neat as mine. Cameron and another boy named Jordy were my…

Throughout the first half of the semester in Learn to Lead I have learned many traits and abilities or expectations a leader has or learns during a leadership or while becoming a leader. In Rajneeshpuram, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh was not a leader. When you compare Rajneesh to Lincoln his skills lack in many ways. Leadership is not something that happens when a person is wealthy or has lots of money. It doesn’t come with building a town, bringing people in and giving them tasks to do, doing that…

around me; I hated watching the news because everything happening in the real world was scary to me. I did not live in the real world. I lived in my own world where something scary could never happen to me. I was privileged and did not realize how much I took for granted until it was all almost taken away from me. I had a job, I was in school, and I had minor responsibilities; I thought of myself as an adult but my parent did not share the same feeling. I desperately wanted to be an adult and…
