The three items I would choose to represent these aspects of me would be a lei, a photo of my mother’s house in Laos, and a photograph of Pale Blue Dot. These three items provide a mixture of my personal history as well as an accurate depiction of who I am as a person. The lei represents my upbringing in Hawaii as well as my admiration of the Hawaiian…

everyone tells us if we work hard and put in the effort we can make anything happen if we try. Imagine if you were not you, the people that benefit from the justice and unfairness dont need the need to overthink on what it would be like if you were born in completely realities and circumstances. That's why John created the Veil of ignorance- Before you were brought into this world you didn't know what you were going to be born…

middle school would never end. Each individual day felt it took forever, but somehow, I feel like three years have been compressed into three weeks. I remember the first thing anyone said to me at Bigelow. “Welcome to Mr. Spiegels homebase, where people jump out from behind windows and hide under recycling bins”. I knew right then that this would be an interesting three years. However, I didn't know how quickly the time would pass. I’m not going to lie, I definitely had those days where I…

Identity” Parfit begins by stating that our concern for our future is not necessarily because it is ours, but because we care about our survival. He believes it has nothing to do with personal identity but with other factors, and he introduces cases where the two have no relation to see what matters. Following an explanation of his account, I will object his view on the bodily criterion, by proving that the ‘new’ person will not be him. Afterwards, I will respond defending Parfit’s rejection,…

I am in no way a renowned geneticist, my interests are closely aligned with literature and film; however, there is one problem that everyone experiences that I would love to solve. Aging. I know it's outrageous to believe I could solve something that seems so natural, but since I was a kid I was always fascinated by genes. In one documentary I saw about the genes of fruit flies when I was younger mentioned that the burning of the telomeres due to stressors was the reason for aging. Since then…

moments where we felt we did not have the strength or courage to conquer or face our fears. I also used to feel that way about a lot of things, however one day, when I was younger, I had an experience that helped me realize that if you take the initiative and give it your all, and along with some help from a friend, you can in fact overcome your fears no matter how daunting or difficult the task may seem. When I was little I loved to play outside with my friends, as many kids do. We would…
