“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change,” says Charles Darwin. This quote relates to me because throughout the junior year I tried my best to get the sharpest straight A’s so when I couldn’t get to those straight A’s I beat myself up over it. Making my depression, anxiety, and guilt even worse than ever before. I wasn’t the student I once was and that I am an ill repute. Because of these emotions, the only solution was to end my life to end my suffering so I tried but survived the attempt after being hospitalized. I came back my friends and my teachers still supported me with their best attempt and never gave up on me. Life was punishing this year I learned …show more content…
I will bottle up my feelings because if I asked a friend if they have time to talk with me about my problems will make their life worse by adding more stress and anxiety on them. I never ever blame the other person but me. As I got out of the mental hospital my mindset has changed about asking for help and the mistakes I made. Not everything is my fault. If my friends or teachers support me is because they care about me not because of pity. I am not a dead weight or burden to others. I didn’t regret when I asked for help because I learned something new from a former teacher of mine. She said,“ Don’t feel guilty when you ask for help and make mistakes especially with your grades. Jennifer do you think that these A’s represent you as a person? Do they build your character? The answer is no Jennifer. Because you are special in your own way that these grades don’t define you. You can’t always be on the pedestal because we all have those tough times in life where we can’t be the best of the best.” From her words, she opened my eyes even more that I am no longer the horse who can see only a straight
Sexuality is a major ordeal in today's reality. With online networking and the advancement of individuals nearing around and acting naturally. When I say acting naturally I imply that you are alright with individuals tolerating you for whom you are. You're not stressed over the kickback you may get from being distinctive. It is alright to act naturally and not need to stress over what individuals think like numerous years back. The changing of genders of Bruce Jenner has everybody feeling great with whom they are. We are all not the same everybody. Furthermore, individuals are additionally ready to not pass judgment on you. Everybody has somebody in his or her family that is distinctive so individuals are more satisfactory to things in 2015
From the moment I was able to tie my shoes and button my jacket, I knew I wanted to be a doctor. While all my classmates at the La Petite Academy made macaroni trees and smiley faces, I drew myself with a stethoscope curing a poor man with the cold. Every year in elementary school, we had career day. Never straying from my love to helping others I wanted to be a surgeon one year, to a dentist the next, and even an obstetrician, I changed my mind quickly once I found out what they did. Looking back on my childhood, I always had a connection with animals and always loved being around them. Early mornings I would open our nearly frozen-shut windows listening to the birds calling. Beside from the squawking of the crows, I heard a soft, pleasant yet curious bird call. It stuck out to me
This is my first online class. I will be graduating next fall with my associates in Human Services. I have enjoyed all of my classes over the last couple of years, except Math. I am not a great Math student.
Last summer was my most memorable summer so far. It was full of injuries, trips, and lots of my friends. I first took a dive straight off my horse, second I went zip lining on Mackinac Island in Michigan. After that I competed in my county fair. Next, summer will have a hard time taking the place of the summer of 2015.
Admittedly, I've done a lot of things that others would consider abhorrent. I've also been subject to things that others would consider abhorrent but after 12,000 deaths you start to know what's a 'good' way to die and what isn't. I've had my head removed by plasma coated blades, I've been hit by 80GJ Compressed Railguns (you don't feel it), and I've felt what it is like to hold a Locus Grenade in the hand for too long.
men like to demonstrate mastery and command over a subject, especially if it enables them to improve their social
Northwestern has already played a massive role in my development as a learner. Starting in fifth grade I took an Astronomy summer class with the Center for Talent Development program. I was hooked! I continued to take CTD courses throughout middle school. Having a group of likeminded classmates fostered a passion for science that catapulted me into AP courses in High School. Northwestern attracts a student community that I want to be a part of.
On the third week of a Trail Maintenance crew I did in the white mountains my mental and physical capabilities were put to breaking point. Our groups usual routine of lounging around on the weekend was going to change, we were going to embark on a Leave No Trace. A two day backpacking trip where we expand our knowledge on outdoor ethics. We loaded up our packs with supplies and then packed the van with our bags and departed.
As I have grown up, mostly in an age where electronics are a "must have", I have very different opinions on it then most. I believe that, some students do over use the abliites that technology provides. I also believe that in some cases, technology is all that some students connect through.
I was in seventh grade and it was finally summer. This summer I was going to travel around Europe with my family. I was super exited as this was going to be the best trip ever. Then before we left for Europe I was in the pool and I got out. My mom noticed that one of my hips was higher than the other. The next day she brought be to a doctor and they said I had scoliosis. I had no idea what that was. Once they told me that it means that my spine is curved I didn’t really care.
I am fifteen years old and will be turning sixteen in less that two weeks. The main difference that turning sixteen will bring into my life is the ability to drive by myself and have a license. Being able to drive by myself would improve different aspects of my life; however, in order to drive by myself I will need a car. I truly believe that my dad should purchase a car for me sooner rather than later because it would highly benefit the both of us.
My mind teleporting itself to multiple universes is a constant in my life. Each individual universe is connected in a fractal-like fashion, consisting of spindly chains of universes in arms not unlike the Milky Way’s spiral arms. Imagine the famous Mandelbrot Set: narrowing in on a particular point will reveal the set’s characteristic bulbous shape, but scaled down; in the same way, zooming in on a set of temporally-linked universes will eventually reveal a branching-out shape not unlike the central shape of the multiverse.
I can remember a time recently when I failed. It was not a task that I failed, or something that I did not do, I failed myself, and I lost respect from my parents. But time heals all wounds, and since then I have regained that respect and trust. Over this previous summer, me and my friends, who will remain unnamed, visited a lake and we swam and frolicked around the nearby dam. Prior to my arrival, I was unaware that the lake was in a private neighborhood, with a strict no trespassing policy. I sped down the path to catch up with my friends and reached the part of the lake where they resided. Past the fence and the no trespassing sign me and my buddies swam for a short time then began the trek back to our cars. Waiting for us was the neighborhood
I ate at the small cafe in our natural foods store for lunch today. When I arrived, it was mostly women with their children eating lunch, which was interesting in itself. Most of the men I saw were just buying groceries, though there were a couple with their families. There was one elderly man eating with his daughter and grandson, and they were all talking with another woman. After he finished eating his sandwich he used a toothpick to clean his teeth. I realized that I have seen my grandfather do this, but I don’t think I have seen a woman ever doing it. If women have something in their teeth they are most likely to go to the bathroom and floss or swish with water. This man had clearly brought toothpicks with him, and I assume it is routine
As a child most of my time was divided between two places, my home and the Performing Arts Center. In elementary school and most of middle school i had pursued acting as a hobby and a possible career choice. Lately I have found myself more interested in other parts of that industry, such as directing and editing. Although I have seen myself becoming less and less attached to the PAC, I still have vivid and meaningful memories of my time there.
