material beliefs from each of my own life experiences will be conferred from either my personal day to day interactions and or my professional workings. My individual rituals not as commonly accepted and defined are sacrifice for family, my Kempo Karate involvement and the moral support for my extended family members. With all of these in mind, my…

If someone came to your house, and told you that you won a million dollars, would you turn it down? You would not turn down any free money. The minimum wage should be raised. There are several reasons for that too. We should balance out business owners and workers, majority rules, and society should move on. What would happen if we didn’t raise minimum wage? We would never move on with life. Raising the minimum wage will give people more money, and raise the economy. And who doesn’t like money?…

Did you know that it has been scientifically proven that dance makes you healthier and smarter? And people who dance often have a higher esteem and a greater perspective on life. Have you ever wondered whether dance is a sport or an art? Many people think dance is art, but I think that it is a sport and an art. There are many reasons why dance is a sport. The definition of a sport is an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or…

I’m five years old and in my first ever soccer game. Everything is going great, my parents are on the sidelines cheering me on and I’m having a blast. This is the first sport that has captured my attention and I’m overjoyed. Then it happens. The ball is kicked and I’m in the way; it hits me square in the face. While my mother jumps to save me my father gently reminds her that soccer’s a contact sport. I stand there stunned for what seems like forever, before running off crying to my mom. It…

capable of achieving the same things, if not more, as a student who is from this country. Come to think of it, I believe I am quite the achiever. I am an expert swimmer, winning the bronze medal in the 50 meter freestyle event. I am a green belt in karate. I act in theater. I practice mixed martial arts. I have varied work experience. Even so, I have had to struggle to integrate myself into my current academic environment, and this was a great character building experience for me. It’s hard to…

I was born 23 weeks premature and weighed one pound and three ounces. Because of my prematurity, I have a medical condition known as Cerebral Palsy (CP), which is a neurological disorder that affects body movement and muscle coordination. As a result of my Cerebral Palsy, I have endured and overcame many challenges, which have greatly affected who I am today. Cerebral Palsy is not a cookie-cutter condition; the severity of the condition, type of muscle contraction, and the area(s) affected vary…

Working the two jobs that Jessyca works as a photographer and a special Ed monitor, she is very fortunate to have two jobs that work around her life, but best of all her kids’ life, as her job schedules are scheduled around her kids soccer games or karate, which she couldn’t be more grateful to have, as she enjoys more than anything to be around her kids as much as…

The Love of My Life My growing mind sparked with an interest in music when I was six years old, just from listening to music on the radio. Fascinated, I discovered the greatness of the music world and learned to feel the music and greatly enjoy it. My journey into learning to play guitar started with private lessons at age nine and has continued every week with the same instructor. The past nine years of my life have been dedicated to learning as much as possible about playing guitar from this…

I have always been interested in the healthcare field since I can remember. A personal experience that occured to me that really directed my way to pursue a career in healthcare was when my sister was born. When she was born she began to immediately have seizures due to a deformity of the right side of her brain. My family knew before she was born that possibility for extra circumstances would have to be taken, but we weren't exactly sure what those circumstances were. After many doctors visits…

higher and lower classes. In the higher class, one could use the resources available to them and take advantage of his or her privileged opportunity to get in shape and eat healthy (for children this most often is through scheduled activities like karate). Whereas, one could also use it as an excuse to purchase the foods they desire and live a luxurious lifestyle. On the other hand, lower classes could persevere through the need of physical labor. Children in lower classes are actually more…
