Belonging and alienation is the process of being either excluded or accepted by the society in which you live. Belong is a human conception,mostly considered a fundamental human need and a source of survival, safety, protection and happiness. To belong is usually considered positive and essential for a successful existence:however a negative sense of belonging:found among the displaced, marginalised and uncared for can lead to many social, filial and personal problems that can be almost insurmountable for the individual.

With every great person, there are others behind them supporting them. One person that inspired me was, Dr. Yvonne Thornton, her story reminded me of myself. For example; when she stated her father brought her a car so she would never have to get in the car with a male (something my dad did). Also her rabbit theory, which is the way my family taught me, never cheat, but always learn from the next whether dealing with life or school. My Aunt Brenda and Uncle Cliff also inspired me in many ways. All my life I saw them be nothing but the best, they taught me lessons of life, how to be better, and how to treat others. My Aunt and Uncle taught me always do better than before, never let anybody tell me I’m not good enough, only except or higher. I can honestly say they are great inspiration to me and what I strive to be in the future. My Aunt Brenda’s words of wisdom are; “Remember God is always first in your

My sister the one who has inspired me to choose happiness. My sister went through a hard time when the drugs took over her life. She told me that drugs were what made her happy, and the people around her started making her choices. She found happiness when she changed the way she had people see her. She started going to church and talking to god. I heard my sister in her room begging and praying to god that someone would help her that night. She has faced a lot over the years, but now today she is the happiest girl I've ever met. Now she spreads happiness wherever she goes. When she is having a tough day, she thinks about the way everyone sees her. She puts a smile on her face even if it's in the worst time just to see people

Also, he has taught me that life is not easy he has had his ups and downs and times where he did not know what he was going to do. Seeing my brother go through the adversity he faced and to have a great career, a home, and a woman he loves gives me the motivation and strength that drives me today. He showed his true character by being there for his young brother and sister and not even doing it because he was forced to, he did it because he loved us and wanted the best for us. Every time I see my brother he succeeds at making me smile. He will crack the inappropriate joke or try and fight me like we are in the Ultimate Fighting Championship league.

Even at a young age, I could tell that my life was headed in this direction. Though my little brother is only 2 years younger than I, when we were younger, I would be sure to always take care of him. I held his hand, made sure he wasn’t hurt or upset, and cheered him

Guide you through life is also a trait your sibling may help you with. George helped out with Lennie when his Aunt Clara asked for it. George knew if he gave Lennie anything he would lose it. With that George held on to everything for him. He told Lennie what to do, and if he did what he would receive as a reward. For example if Lennie and George worked for a month they would have enough money to have a little place for themselves which was their dream.

While reading the story “Sonny’s Blues” by James Baldwin I could not help but think about my own brother while growing up. From a very young age I always felt as though it was my job to keep him safe and on the right path. We did everything together, played sports, played board games, watched television, we even had some of the same friends. Sometimes I felt more like a second mom to him than his older sister.

In fact, I sometimes shower, dress, feed, entertain and help in giving him therapy for his body palsy.

There are people in everyone's lives who have played a significant role in developing their personality or have been a mentor or a guide or a positive influence all their life.

To begin, I was my mother’s first born. I am the oldest of the biological siblings and for 5 years I was an only sibling, I was treated much different and knew I could get away with more for these first years. After 13 years, my parents adopting my older sister. I was the oldest sibling for 13 years then I was the middle sibling. I was no longer the “rule setter” and instead had more strict rules due to my older sister’s behavior. She also came from a much different background than me and she helped shape me and open my eyes to how different people can be raised.

Growing up with two brothers was a lot of fun. Whatever they were doing I wanted to do. We played outside a lot. I learned from them to be tough. If I fell off my bike they were there to help me up and tell me to get right back on it. I have watched them both succeed in their dreams.

The film Brother Outsider showcased the life of integrationist and non-violent strategist, Bayard Rustin. The film exemplified Rustin’s oratory and leadership skills, but it best showcased his unapologetic stance on being both Black and homosexual. Through its depiction of Bayard Rustin’s intersectionality, the film aids to our class’ understanding of how complex the Civil Rights Movement remained during the 1960’s. Those difficulties persist throughout other social movements within America today.

In the early years of my life I had no idea that my brother would make such a big impact on me and my life. He has taught me more than any teacher possible could. Through him I learned how to be compassionate. I learned how to treat each and every person with respect, despite what challenges they may face. He brought me into an amazing community that taught me numerous life lessons. He challenged me every step of the way, like any brother should, and altered the way I viewed the world. My brother has autism, and he has been my greatest teacher.

I have met many people so far in this life, but the person I enjoy remembering the most is my husband Jeff. He was born and raised in Tennessee. He is six feet tall, weighs two hundred sixty seven pounds,he has dark brown eyes, and such a nice smile. His hair is jet black with just a few silver and white strands throughout. He is a very big and strong character of a man. And yet he is the most gentle, kind and caring man that I have ever met. Jeff has a sexy southern drawl to his voice. The one person who has influenced my life greatly is my husband, the first reason being because of his positive attitude, his intelligence, and the way he expresses his love.

My brother is not just someone I share blood with but someone I can rely on and look up to. Patrick, my seventeen year old brother, has been by my side since I was a little baby. My youngest memories are of Patrick and I running around in our backyard laughing. As he grew older, I began to look up to him. He was everything I aspired to be: intelligent, passionate, and athletic. Patrick always seemed to know what he wanted in life, and I admired how he chased down his goals. There were points in my life when I was very unmotivated, especially when I was seven years old. Insecure and unsure, I did not believe in myself from a very young age, and Patrick was there for me when no one else was. He made me believe in myself and my own abilities above anything else. I have my big brother to thank for finding the strength to persevere through my struggles and overcoming my obstacles.
