...knows more about me than I do. No matter what happens in my life, no matter how good of a day or bad of a day I am having she is always there for me. She is the only person who will take time out of her busy schedule to talk to me about the littlest things. She is always there for me and that is why I chose I Turn to You by Christina Aguilera as the song that best describes our relationship. This song has the lyrics that best exemplifies my relationship with my mom. She is always there for me and she is the one person I can turn to for anything. Even when I have friends who let me down I know she will never do that. She cares about me so much and will be there for me through everything. She has never abandoned me in a time of need and I know she never will. As I get older I come to realize how much my mom means to me and what an important factor she is in my life. It would be very hard to pick out a part of the song that I like the best and that describes our relationship the best because the whole song does it. But if I did have to pick out my favourite lyrics of the song, it would be the bridge: For the arms to be my shelter through all the rain/For truth that will never change/For someone to lean on/For a heart I can rely on through anything/For that one who I can run to. My mom parenting style is mostly democratic, but sometimes she can be authoritarian. Usually she will let me defend myself if we are having an argument, and she will generally compromise with me about certain...

...In the Novel, “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian,” by Sherman Alexei, the two characters I choose was Junior and Rowdy. Junior was a poor cartoonist drawer growing up in Spokane Indian reservation. Junior and Rowdy lived in a town name Rez. While, Rowdy was Junior’s strong best friend. Rowdy protected Junior when he got bullied. When Junior transferred to different school in Reardan, Rowdy started hating Junior for that so they became enemies from best friend. I think these two were the funniest guys in the novel because they did some crazy things together. This novel made me feel different emotions such as laugh, worried and sad. The novel made me laugh because Junior was a funny guy. Junior made funny cartoons, and also used funny quotes in the book such as, ‘I was born with water on the brain.” This quote was the first sentence of the novel. The novel also made me worried when Junior went all white people school. He didn’t know anyone there and especially there were no Indians there. I thought he was going to get beat up by white people but I don’t think that happened. I think he punched a white guy on the face. The novel also made me sad because Junior’s grandma, his dad’s best friend and his sister died in terrible accidents. This was the tragic part of the book and especially for Junior. The three events that I think are important to novel are when Junior has a basketball game versus Rowdy and his old school, he got pushed and was taken to the hospital...

...Akane Kang In this essay I will explain to you what I know about the IB program, why it will be an important part of my high school experience, and why I want to be in IB. I’ve heard of IB from my cousin when she was in 8th grade and I was in 7th. I remember thinking “Wow…I’m never going to try for that.

So vivid management class was all about bringing people together and work together to get the job done I just did not know how to bring them to one place work together. Coming from low masculinity highly collectivist country where things are yet in the process of growing people are taught that they must look after one another, guide the young once, remain with old family values and at the end of the day regardless of how a horrible day that you had, saw a young boy get hit by a car or you just came from your daughter’s wedding and she is expecting a baby. You have to share your news with the people that cares about you and they make sure you get the best treatment regardless when you get to the house at all time because they yet not know if you had good or bad news for them always making sure the napkin or the knife is there to cut the cake.

...The Best Part of Me There is not enough time in my life to write about the person who had the greatest influence in my life. As I write this paper, it’s as if my entire life is flashing in front of my face. I feel I’m frozen in time: scenes of my fondest memories of my mother playing in my mind but in slow motion. I see her vividly she is walking by swiftly in her rose colored house dress, brown slightly worn shoes, the aroma of Maxwell house coffee perking, and the scent of crispy bacon sizzling in the skillet, all reminding me of those early morning winter days in Ohio, bitter cold but warm at the same time surrounded in so much love. My mother, “Mamma,” was not only a great parent to my siblings and me but her parenting reached far beyond her children. She was a mother figure and a listening ear to many of my friends but one in particular who did not share the loving, caring and wonderful bond I shared with my mother. I remember a particular time in my best friend, Jackie’s life when she was 15 years old, who could not talk to her mother about a very difficult situation that occurred in her life. Her mother was a self absorbed, unhappy woman, who was more attentive and obsessed with her husband’s indiscretions. She consumed all her time and energy in trying to figure out what was going wrong in her marriage than to hear the cries and frustration, the deep dark place her daughter was in and had no guidance to find her way out. In the...

...resources or data base searching has been a tremendous and effective contributing factor towards the fast and easy researching method my colleagues, myself and other learning colleagues are using widely in the twenty-first century. Fortunately, online resources have created essential communication skills between me and my colleagues, tutors and other acquaintances around the universe. This method has enabled me interact via online through discussing and exchanging learning information. However, the effect has not only made it easy for the general public and myself to access accurate and non-accurate information, but has also contributed in developing and improving social development/network. Most importantly, it has given me the privilege to search more than one database to enable obtaining a successful research project. Furthermore, the aspect of locating the right source is an enormous issue. Example is researching using Google and Google scholar. The difference is that, Google scholar is peer-reviewed but Google is not. Based on this evidence, not all information is academically evaluated or peer-reviewed before it is made public on the internet. Database searching enable me learn different techniques in acquiring successful research. Examples are: I get the privilege to access both old and new online journals, books, and newspapers. Most importantly, it enables learning to be more flexible and convenient. In addition to that, I am able to book an appointment, counselling...

...The three things that initially motivated me to start college are my younger siblings, my future, and last but not least to further my education. I always felt like with me being the oldest sibling, my younger sisters look up to me. Therefore, I want to be that role model to them, and show then anything is possible. Not to mention my future is crucial since it's in my hands I'm responsible for the outcome. If I do my best , then ill be the best. If I take it as a joke, then ill be the joke. So I chose what's best for me. Furthermore its very imperative to attend college and further your education. Especially if it is something you desire, why not have a degree for that career. Ever since I was young I wanted to own many businesses. To be my...

She is able to guide me through life and to help me learn to be the best version of myself, while also balancing helping my family and others as well.

...I am what I like and dislike. I am what I believe in. I am my choices and experiences. I am what I do. I am where I live. I am who others have made me to be and I am who I have chosen to be. Most people do not consider all of the different ways they can be identified. There are countless different things I would use to describe myself and taking this course has added numerous more descriptors to my identity. The widely accepted definition of culture from Devito does a wonderful job including the things I would use to define my culture. The definition states: “Culture is a relatively specialized lifestyle of a group of people (values, beliefs, artifacts, behaviors, ways of communicating)”. Those are all examples of different aspects of my life that I would use to describe myself. For me, my values and beliefs are a strong sense of who I am. I am also very openly supportive of my values and beliefs. I am not afraid to inform people about how I feel about an issue, whether it is politics or something in athletics. If there is something that I strongly support or I am strongly against people know. I feel that many other people would use my values and beliefs to describe me as well since I make them so known. Co-cultures do a brilliant job of helping to identify one’s culture. They each describe a different part of one’s identity and combine to form each person as a whole. I can define myself by using several different co-cultures: (I am a 20 year old, Caucasian...

...would go to this place we call “The Clift’s”. It had the best and chilliest people I have ever met. Everyone had the best vibes. It was the most peaceful place I’ve ever been. We used to do rebellious things behind the curtain of trees. The best part: The warm beautiful lake that I got to dive into for hours. The Clift’s has always been a place where I felt free. When we would go to the Clift’s my friends and I would all go pile in the hot car and drive around and eventually would come to the conclusion that we should just go to the Clift’s, like we always did. There were always new people to meet, and they all felt the same way I did about my special place. They all had positive vibes and were all pretty cool. The forest was the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. It was bright, green, and deep. As I walked through the forest the trees would touch me, and the branches that had fallen would crack under my feet. One of the reasons why I went there as a teenager was to experience things that I wasn’t able to do in the outside world it felt like. I could smoke as I pleased. Most people just smoked cigarettes and marijuana, some did other drugs but that’s all I really wanted to do. Drinking was always fun, too. It gave me a sense of adventure and made me feel as I could party forever. Drinking and smoking gave me the ability to be hyper and dance, and made me feel like I could do whatever I wanted. Now, the best part: diving into the water. First I would prepare. Looking down...
