“We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.” (- Lloyd Alexander) The first time I read this, I was in awe of the statement. I really don’t know much about Lloyd Alexander other than he was an author who wrote science fiction books for children. But to me this is a profound statement about the quest for knowledge. By continually searching for an answer; we are forced to read and comprehend many things that may not fit into the subject question, but give us insight into other things. Eventually we may come up with the answer we are looking for, albeit the path to the answer was creative and informative.

I have appreciated much of the process in which I have journeyed over the last few years. Many of my classes have not only taught me things, but have given me insight into myself, my children, friends and family. I have learned to apply some of the lessons learned with how I would react to issues, interpret scenarios and motivate myself. To be candid, I cannot recall why I initially selected these specific areas of concentration, possibly because they encompass a wide spectrum of subject matter. More recently, I realized that people’s behaviors, whether single or in groups interest me. The dynamics of group interactions as well as societal expectations are an appealing focus for my interests. I have always been intrigued by the what, why and how of adolescent and young adult behavior. That is what led me to my current ideas of explaining the millennial

After Columbus mistakenly discovered the Americas in 1492, European countries were soon setting out to establish themselves in this new world. Spain was first to establish itself in the new world, using their powerful military and their navy. The new colonies were completely dictated by the king of Spain, such one of his policies allowing colonists to use the native tribes for forced labor. France was the second major power to establish itself. Their main focus was fur trapping and fur trading. The French quickly learned to work with the Native Americans. The few French settlers, who did come to America, were focused on fur trapping and trading. Because of this, most French settlements were either military forts or trading posts. England

My life started with my long and hard birth on July 14, 1993. I came into the world with a large scream and was immediately placed into some sort of category. The doctors and nurses took a quick look at me, and pronounced me as a girl. This social label of being a girl was now my gender, which is something I had no say in. Every since that very moment in time where my parents were told I was a girl, I have been treated according to my gender. This meant that my parents automatically dressed me in pink, bought me dollhouses and kitchen sets and threw me Barbie themed birthday parties. Since I was surrounded my whole entire life by these things, it was almost like second nature to think and act the way that I did and still do. My
A path that led to this school, and the amazing experiences and opportunities I had and will continue to have throughout my last year here. Here is the place I’ve learn to lead in a classroom, develop my academic skills, and succeed in continuing my mission of helping others. I’ve grown into a woman with her own ideals and own convictions, which I just now realized has always been my goal in life. What I major in, what job I have, and who I marry will not confine my person to live a life where having one experience is

I had just won first place in the oldest, most competitive sewing contest in the country! Something most people could only dream of had suddenly become my reality. So why wasn’t I happy? Why did I feel like I was being whisked off to prepare for the Hunger Games, groomed and fussed over by people who didn’t care about me?
It is with a heavy heart that I write this reflection. This journey has been incredible, and a learning experience that is only comparable to the total amount of time I have spent in

I come from two very different cultures Russian and American. Moving to the United States at age fourteen, I could recognize the differences in classes and gender in both of the cultures. But there is one fact, you can’t tell class difference by appearance.
