Personal

Two years ago, when I first started looking for colleges I fell in love with Bennington because it did three things better than any of the other schools I visited: Theatre, Film, and Internships. Fast forward one year, and I applied early decision to Bennington, and only Bennington. I was sure, and still am sure it was the right decision, but not because I intend on studying film and theatre. Another reason I went to Bennington is its understanding that students don’t always know what they are…

I. Why is being a Lightworker so important to you and how can you change the world with your gifts? When I think of the term Lightworker, I think of a healer. A person that helps to bring joy and sustenance to someone’s life that will lead to empower that person. Doreen Virtue defines this term as ““global missions,” which involve helping people, animals, the environment, or a cause other than themselves”. I was oblivious to this fact two years ago. I cannot simply state one type of…

The life in America caught me by surprised and I have learned to understand that; life isn 't always what others portrait it to be. Never thought my entire life would have appeared to be like a roller-coaster; ironically things didn 't work out the way I planned and expected. One moment I was filled with laughter and happiness; then disheartened and feeling traumatized by my father know that h we wasn 't being realistic, creating a dull and lifeless picture in my mine. Later on , throughout…

Have you ever thought about of losing a love one? If so, it would be the difficult experience, and you would have to learn to accept it. For myself, when I was eighteen years old, I could not believe the day that my grandfather would be gone forever. Along with my grandmother, he was the one who raised me; he taught me how to become a good person. Therefore, when it happened, I could not stand on my own two feet. However, I must learn to accept the truth because it is fact that no one can escape…

My outside interests would be playing sports, volunteering, making crafts, and art. I am on a swim team and participate in intramural sports at school. I like being part of a team and meeting new people who have the same interests as me. Volunteering is fun and I hope to continue to do it; the feeling of knowing that I have helped people is really great. When I have free time, I love making crafts, the challenge that I get when I try to create something new is exciting. It makes me want to…

One of the most impactful quotes for me was said by Walt Disney “Why worry? If you’ve done your very best, worrying won’t make it any better.” This quote is impactful because of my anxiety disorder. This disorder has changed who I am over time. I learned to not take everything so seriously and be laid back. My anxiety disorder has changed my background by allowing me to be more calm, making me not take the little things in life for granted, and to concentrate on the big picture of life. The…

To be honest...I don’t have a vision for America. I still don’t. When this prompt came out I just kept drawing a blank on what my vision for America might be. My vision for America doesn’t really matter too much. It’s about the vision to improve America that benefits all American citizens, instead of just me. If my vision could come true, I’d make it a dictatorship and I’d be running the country...naturally. But that’s probably in my best interest and not the country’s. Many citizens are…

For the purposes of this paper, I will refer to the man that I interviewed as Pat. Pat grew up in a big family; three brothers and two sisters. Pat identified that the only concern from his family history is that his dad had coronary artery disease. His mom would make “heart healthy” meals each night, and they would rarely eat out. All his siblings, including him, were involved in sports. He assumes that this is one reason why he has eaten reasonably healthy throughout his life, and has never…

Have you ever thought about doing something but thought it’s impossible or you couldn’t ever be successful with what you wanted to do. Well I want to help. I aspire to be a life coach to help people realize they have more potential than they ever thought possible. Just about everyone has a vision of his or her ideal life. Maybe you've always dreamed of being a successful writer, musician, or corporate executive. But you haven’t made it a reality yet. Then maybe what you need is a coach. Just…

feelings of self-worth that I received when Cheyanne was born. Right after her birth I felt as if though I were on top of the world, and that nothing could get any better. I… I just can’t even begin to explain the benefits, or its relation to my personal psychological well-being. Everything that she did, and still does, amazes me. And rightfully so, I am literately witnessing the progression of human life through the everyday growth of my daughter, and imagining that I will be able to do that…
