Personal

Your identity is never complete because identity is an ongoing definition of you. When you stop learning new things your identity will be complete, but since you are always learning and always getting smarter your identity will never be complete. Your identity is based on the people around you, the environment, the people you are with everyday and, and all of the experiences you have been through. An author will not be able to reveal the full identity of a character because as the story goes on…

Through my high school, Multicultural Club, we have a partnership with Habitat for Humanity in helping them rebuilt neighborhoods. I have participated in my junior and senior year in high school to help Habitat for Humanity in joining hands building a home for a warming family. As well as, painting, cleaning, and organizing a welcome home moment for the Lor family—who was the family that we helped out with Habitat for Humanity. Additional, after graduating from high school, I still help out with…

Plaid and Proud A question that I have spent an immense amount of time discussing is that of whether purpose or method matters more. Simply stated, that question is “Why, or how?” Through much debate, I have landed on the conclusion that how something achieves its cause is, in fact, of greater importance than the purpose of the object itself. Therefore, I will not compare myself to an inanimate object in terms of what ends it achieves but how it achieves those ends. And when viewing…

I have been interested in the visual arts for a long time. I have worked on various animations in the past but something I have just come across that I love is cinematography. I was the cinematographer for a documentary recently and I captured the b-roll footage to put throughout the movie. The documentary was a group project that I did for a video production class. The footage I got was meant to be small interesting clips to cut into an interview. I have provided an edited version of my footage…

Have you ever heard the saying, “life is hard, but we make it much harder” ; by Ryan Holiday? It is up to you to decide whether or not you want to succeed, and when you decide, it is up to you to figure out when you're going to make things happen. Everything and everyone is attempting to shape you out of your character, and it is up to you to decide what defines you, not what or who is around you. Becoming defined by the environment you were raised in, is basically becoming invisible. Meaning…

I get excited about restoring hope and freedom to an individual. I desire for people to experience physical, emotional, and spiritual abundant life. As a physical therapist, I would address all these components but specifically narrow in on their physical well being. Movement is essential to abundant physical well being. I believe we are created to work and move. In Western culture, we are becoming sedentary and dependent on modern medications to cope with diseases and physical limitations. I…

Everyone has a story, and everyone should be heard. Some people grow up in an average happy American home, and they are told they have the right to be happy. Some people grow up with pathetic excuses for parents and a shriveled home structure, and they are told they have the right to be sad. But then there are the people who grow up somewhere in the middle and have no idea what emotions they should be feeling. I am one of those in-betweens. Depression is something that grows inside of someone…

The name Kelsey comes from an old English name given name Ceolsige which means “ships victory” or it could be a place name meaning “Cenels island” is a combination of the old English word cenel.

My mom said that's now how I got my name. She says I got my name from a list of names that they liked. My…

My fingers raced between the motherboard and the back of the case. I guided cables through the case cutouts like a weaver maneuvering threads in a tapestry. The satisfying “click” of plugging in each cable to its spot on the board drove me to completion. Now that everything was plugged in, I had to work on the most painful part: cable management. Remembering what I learned from YouTube, I routed the cables behind the case until they made two distinct paths. The cables were two rivers flowing…

This RISK project has inspired me in different ways, not always, has taking risks for me been an easy thing to do. Risk taking makes me feel like i’m not in control of the outcome and it could very much affect things that I wouldn’t like it to. This project has affected my personality in favorable ways. Being more open to risky things for me has been a valuable experience overall. I really like the idea of being able to take risks, and this project has made me realize that I can do risky things,…
