themselves them him. He also does not have much emotion when it comes to things. He is rarely in arguments and almost never gets angry without good reason. We then talked about how this is relevant to him now. It matches his criminal justice major with high accuracy. He began college with the intention of a degree in biology. He soon found this to be too focused on theory and took up to much time he had for other activities. However, he stated it doesn’t match his personality when in college, as…

first, I worked hard to prove that I could be a member of a discourse community. Joining anything comes with a struggle, such as fitting in or trying to be the best. Basketball is a prioritized sport in my family. I always knew that when I hit junior high it would be time to fulfill my family’s prophecy of joining a basketball team. I was not too thrilled with the thought at first. I decided to talk to some of my friends to get their view on it. Most of their responses were negative. I remember…

and I did not have a job, nor did we have enough money saved up to buy one. While in high school we were one of the few kids that did not own a sidekick. Luis and I were talking one day and he told me hey why don’t we steal the phone. I wasn’t too sure about the idea, but he convinced me we would not get caught.

Entering high school was no big deal for me. I knew what to expect and how to handle a life filled with classes and out of school activities. It was similar to the one I experienced in middle school, so there was nothing to really sweat over. The big difference from those years before to high school were just the increased amount of work and faces. I also had a few friends which were a grade level above me, which made my freshmen year a walk in the park. They showed me what to do and what not do…

My legs were tall in new shoes and, with my arms were wrapped around a petty hoard of books and number two pencils, I felt prepared. However, two minutes into the school year, my confidence blew out of my chest. I eyed the senior class of 2015 from the doorway and imagined I was a comma after a long line of capitals. The…

to stay away from any sport or athletic activity. Coming into high school, i feared not being given the same opportunities of making new friends and forming a bond with a team in a sport.
