1. After the last few months we have had the privilege to spend at People’s City Mission, it became increasingly prevalent that the cultural lens that my group and I had versus the lens which the kids came from was entirely different. When we first began our fieldwork there, being told that their lives were structured, I thought that they would have no problem switching from one task to the other without difficulty. However, I couldn’t have been more wrong. It isn’t that the kids are bad,…

Since the beginning of time people have always lived in fear of not being the most superior person in the room. To an extent this is human nature for example: White people have always been afraid that a non-white being would become superior than them. One amazing thing happened to the world over time everybody in the USA became equals, people’s right’s no longer depended on what their skin color was. Also being afraid of someone doing better than you is part of human nature as much as we don’t…

1. Chittister writes that "Benedictine spirituality is about listening to four realities: the Gospels, the Rule, one another, and the world." Why do you think that Chittister believes that listening to all four of these is important? How would you finish the following sentence: "I believe that being a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ requires a willingness to listen to ______________." a. It is important to listen to them all because, we read the scriptures “faithfully” but we fail to apply…

Decisions are made on a daily basis. These decisions can range from simple to much more difficult, and may include: whether or not to have coffee in the morning, what car to buy, or asking someone to marry you. Decisions are one thing you can’t escape from in this life. I have made some really good and really bad decisions in my life. One choice that sticks out in my mind was the night I snuck out of my house when I was a freshman in high school. This decision changed my life drastically. When I…

Effective Follower My weaknesses when it comes to being an effective follower pertains to my lack of interest in requesting performance feedback. I tend to believe that no news is good news and that if there is not anything that I am inherently doing wrong, then I should not be worried. I feel that this is a weakness because, as an employee that is striving to climb to the top of the business hierarchy, I should be doing everything that I can in order to improve as a worker. Another weakness…

Mothers working has increased dramatically since the 1970s. Women have evolved since the late 1900s. Many work in work fields alongside men. Becoming mothers does not stop many of them from still working. A lower percent of mothers stay at home, although, it should not be for every woman. Women should not feel obligated to be a stay at home mother; they should be able to be independent, to be a role-model to their children, and to be capable to bring a larger income into the home. Most…

Ever since I was little I always wondered why I was never good enough for anything. I felt like I was not good enough for my family, and I still believe this to this day. My family treats me so different than they do to anyone else. I know I was never good enough in school because no one ever wanted me in their class. I strived for straight “A”s and sometimes that just was not enough. I wanted all the extra credit and higher grades than anyone. I made it a mission to do everything that I could…

As an Iranian-American, I have had two very different worlds growing up, both of which have shaped me into the person I am today. One is my home in the Bay Area, the other is my native Iran. I went to Iran for the first time when I was three years old and fell in love with it. I remember the novel feeling of having an uncle who would take me out to get fries late at night, and being surrounded by people who loved and cared about me. In Iran, I felt that I had endless love and support. In the…

In my Persuasive Speech on the topic of Why College Shouldn’t be Free? I felt like my overall speech was honestly pretty genuine and had a really good point of view on the topic that made it very relatable to the audience. If I had to narrow it down to 3 things that I needed to work on it would be: pacing back and forth, rambling and finishing my speech off better with a good conclusion. On the brighter side of things my better things that I did were: Being calm and collected throughout the…
