Purpose

My family immigrated from Mexico to cultivate the crops of California and now I am able to pursue my dream. While attending public high school, I appeared as a low-income Mexican American high schooler living in a poor socioeconomic town, dominated by Mexicans. However, a mix of my intellectual curiosity and historical roots from the Gonzalez and Villanueva family differed me from the rest of the students in the Central Valley. Growing up, I constantly wondered why my public high school was not…

In the Honors Program at the University of North Alabama, I plan to take the steps in order to fulfill my greatest dreams. I hope to meet new people who strive to do the same thing I do - succeed.

Fellow tribe members fall to the ground, buried in their desperateness to keep their homes. This was called the Indian Removal Act. However, what was the big reason to…

When I found occupational therapy I knew that it was the job I wanted to commit myself to, because it provides so many opportunities to do just that. I saw a quote once by Kelly Andrasik, that said: “I finally decided on occupational therapy because I knew that this field would allow me to help those who feel like they have lost everything’ and I couldn’t have…

Hiding from a society that is always watching isn’t a very smart idea. It is also almost impossible to do, yet we always root for the people who try and break the crazy rules society has set up for them. Winston’s apartment and his diary act as an escape for him from society and they add to his character. Winston acts as any main character in a dystopian story would: he doesn’t believe what society is trying to tell him. He also doesn’t want to follow the rules established for him. He is…
