Life was different growing up in South Africa, with divorced parents (from the age of 5) and my mother being the sole provider in a low-income family. Until the age of eighteen, my objective was to finish high school and to start working, because at the age of sixteen I was almost self-sufficient. The public school, which I had access to, in the late 1990’s did not offer any activities or organization involvement. My first contact with student life was when I became a student at Lone Star…

The two paintings I chose to compare and contrast were Le Dejeuner sur l’herbe and The Birth of Venus. Both paintings were created in different time periods. Le Dejeuner sur l’herbe was created in 1862-1863 by Èdouard Manet. The Birth of Venus was created in 1484-1486 by Sandro Botticelli.

As disheartening as it was to watch, these were the conditions I witnessed day to day and it played a significant part in my life and the goals I wanted to achieve.

I put my hair up in a pony tail and stretched a little before I started my run. I would have prefered to run at night, with the extremely hot since it was the beginning of August. I could take the heat but my wolves could possible over. I told them to stay in the cool Barn but they refused. It was the younger two year wolves and they were more stubborn than me. I started up one of my trails with the wolves, three to be exact, in the thick underbrush out of sight. As the hot wind blew against my…

For example, successful plant…
