Dreary gym. Flickering lights. On a Sunday afternoon, my parents obligated me to waste an hour of my day at my dreaded Sunday School. The heavenly site upon which you are supposed to learn about God, Jesus, and how to become a “better” person. In reality, it is just an old gym that smells like my brother’s sneakers with some worn out bleachers stuffed with one hundred-fifty teenagers. Although I do not have much expertise in the teaching religion, I am sure that teenagers do not learn best by having a man in his fifties screaming Jesus at the top of his lungs for five minutes. Nevertheless, the demographic of the people who attended this youth group were Latinos. But upon arriving, I found that many greeted each other with hugs and kisses and complimented one another on their “fye” clothing. As I tiptoed up the bleacher stairs trying not to make a deafening squeak, I heard somebody yell, “Hey U ain’t wearin’ Uggs!” I looked down and realized that I was not wearing my Uggs that day. Instead, I was wearing a similar brand called Baretraps. I turned around and politely commented that yes, she was right, I was not wearing Uggs. In my mind I wondered why she even cared. She simply threw her head back and laughed while her friends emulated her, “What? Are you a white girl now?” I was left speechless. Obviously not; I was raised by two Peruvian parents, and I thought I looked like a Latina, so I did not understand what they were implying. Was it because of my clothing? No, it could not be, other girls were wearing a sweatshirt, leggings, and boots. We were all of a minority group, no hate should exist between us. But what was it that made me so different? As soon as they turned around and started swaggering over to the boys, the answer hit me. I spoke differently. I noticed that they all used slang, different words than I utilized, in every sentence they spoke. Whenever they spoke it sounded like the beginning of a hip hop song, but where did that leave me? All my life, I have always been asked where I come from. At first I would say America because this is the country I was born in, and the place I reside in currently. However, after a while, I realized that what people really want to know is where does your
Advertising plays a huge role in why people buy what they buy. This paper will discuss the different techniques used by brands in order to appeal to the intended group they are targeting. Some brands try to appeal to the most amount of people possible. However, some brands have a specific niche of people they try to appeal to. McDonalds is an example of a brand that tries to appeal to everyone. It has a general message that everyone can get behind, and they market it correctly. This is why they are one of the biggest brands in existence. However, Gymshark is a brand that tries to appeal to a specific niche of people. Their goal is to be the next Nike. They try to appeal to athletic people, who workout very often. Their products are similar to Nike, but they are specifically
Section 3 of the Charter grants all Canadian citizens the right to fair and free elections, allowing them to select a legitimate Member of Parliament (MP) to make decisions and fairly represents them. Canada 's First-past-the-post (FPTP) system provides a simple and effective way to do this, allowing for the creation of a stable, efficient government. Although the First-past-the-post (FPTP) system has served Canada well for numerous years, many flaws exist within it, and have created pressing problems for Canadian representative democracy. Instances, such as the Conservative Party winning majority with 39.6% of the votes , reveal that this system does not accurately reflect the voter preference, but instead can distort it. The outcome between the votes cast and the seats assigned is disproportional, usually over-representing the leading party and penalizing minority parties. This is further exacerbated in a case like the Green Party and the Bloc Quebecois, where the concentration of party support led to misrepresentation in seats. In addition, under-representation also exists in relation to gender and ethnicity. The FPTP system favors broadly acceptable parties and candidates, thus excluding minority parties and women from parliament. Although benefits of the FPTP system exist, the shortcomings lead to problematic, distorted representation, citizen dissatisfaction and decreasing voter turnout, and the undermining of national unity.

“Where are you from?” has been the defining question of my life, mainly because I do not have an answer for it. Growing up, this question brought me anxiety and frustration, and constantly being the new kid meant that I had to answer it frequently. I learned to assess the situation to see what answer was most appropriate. “I am from America” worked when talking to locals or non-American classmates; “I am from Colorado” was used for Americans who wanted more detail; “I’ve moved around a lot” was saved for people who expressed genuine interest, but I gave my truest answer the least even though it meant the most: “A lot of places.”
I had a hard time finding a career. All the careers I came across did not interest me at all. Until a friend came up with the idea of the career of athletic training. That is when I started my research and my interest grew greater.
As I got an invitation to go to open gym with my friends, my main thoughts were, “I hope I can get some new skills tonight.” Little did I know, my thoughts about four hours later would be, “I have never been so upset, angry, or disappointed in my life.” As I walked into the cold, noisy gym, I was prepared to achieve my round off back handspring back tuck. I assured myself that I would be able to do it successfully. I wished that the ground was as soft and comforting as the dark trampoline with orange and blue bumpers. Seeing girls doing back walkovers on the thin, beige, four- inch beam, swinging their bodies around the slippery, uneven bars, and flipping themselves into the sky blue, squishy mat made me tell myself, “If they can do that,
