Personal Narrative: Welcome To My Kickstarter Campaign

Seeing that I have brought a smile to somebody’s face makes me feel like I am impacting the world, and it gives my life a sense of meaning. For example, when I got up in front of my entire class and rapped a song by Kanye West, all of my peers were smiling and laughing at me because they knew that I was not a talented rapper. That experience will be remembered by those people as a positive and happy time which makes me feel meaningful. I have learned that making references and connections build stronger connections with people and will trigger some interesting conversations.

In 1999 the United States Congress passed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act which finished off the repealing process of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 (Moffett, Stonehill, & Eiteman, 2012, p. 114). The Glass-Steagall Act had imposed barriers within the United States financial sector, where commercial banking entities were separate from investment banks. This meant that commercial banks were able to operate in higher risk activities that were traditionally reserved for the investment institutes. Commercial banks were now able to directly offer their customers a wider array of loans, including creative mortgage arrangements.

As we go about our life, we gain many accomplishments and will feel good about it, that is positive pride. But when we close ourselves off and do not accept other opinions and won't take appropriate action, that is when it is negative pride and it becomes hurtful. In The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller the pride held by individuals in the story becomes very damaging to the people around them. Through the destructive nature of pride it causes Achilles, Thetis, Patroclus and many others to suffer.

Through the duration of this course some of my opinions on civic issues have changed and some have stayed the same. An opinion of mine that has changed is the number of flaws in our education system. This is an important civic issue because the education of young people is deciding the future of this world. This is politically significant because this generation will grow up to be a part of politics whether running for a role in the federal, provincial, or municipal parliamentary or simply voting in an election.

Marching in with the giant crowds fascinated with the design and the upkeep to keep this place going. All trail takers taken to a hall like room filled with trophies of defeated monsters. Liora viewed up at the big one it was high above in the precise middle wall above the stage. It was a dragon the last of its species a gold dragon with red eyes with a vicious snarl and eyes narrowed down to the crowd below. Incredible. Thought Liora looking at the head feeling she might have to come up to a monster like that one day.

Right now, I think I have a pretty solid web series pilot idea. The only thing I am having trouble with is actually coming up with future episodes. I am currently taking FEA 409 the episodic writing class, and I need to write a pilot, I have an idea I love, but writing something that continue on is really difficult. I find myself having the same struggles in my episodic class as well in this one. I am so used to just writing a short script and then moving on to the next thing. I know I have a relatable idea, but putting it into words is what is giving me a hard time. I thought my first draft of my pilot was okay, I think my pilot needs a lot of improvement, especially the dialogue, but I think I got a decent story to play around with. I am

’m the first one to be born And it’s my responsibility To leave traces For others to follow I have to be cautious Or I might step into The wrong ground Letting the roots swallow me up There’s so much pressure in me

I was born in Australia on January 12, 1999, however I have lived on the Hawaiian Islands since I was five and for most of my life. I have traveled back to Australia several times to visit family and even though I’m an Australian i do consider myself semi-Hawaiian in a sense. To give back to the islands I would love to help the next generation to have a childhood that is filled to the brim with Hawaiian Nature. One idea to give them this experience would be to go into Waipio Valley with the children from different schools in the Big island and explore the valley with them. Some activities while we are in the valley would be hiking, examining native plants, horse riding, swimming in rivers and the ocean, and then

Last sunday, I went to Makers Fair in San Mateo. It was surprisingly really fun. I when to Makers Fair with my mom, and she enjoyed it as well. When I first, came in, I saw tons of food, people, and the dancing robot. While we were there we saw a man riding a piece of wood with a small wheel underneath, we learned about food,saving the environment, and how a machine can tell how someone is joyful. Because I learned so much, I will share with you my top places.

Today I had the pleasure to talk to Moira while she watched her son and husband play baseball. Moira has been in the Y for a while. She explained to me that her family lived in Washington D.C. before they came to Houston. There she started her son off in swim lessons and she loved it. She decided to try out basketball and also loved it. When she moved down to Houston, she signed her son her for baseball for the experience and for time for father and son bonding. Also, because she like the way the programs are ran at the Y. Her purpose for staying in the Y is because it’s less expensive than a private gym, she likes Child Watch so she can work out, and because it integrates something for the whole family. It’s good to see that the Y is still provided and family cultures in

Being or feeling alone is one of the worst parts of being in high school. I understand that people might be friendly to one another, but does that really make you friends? In my personal opinion... no. You need a good foundation to be friends or best friends. Friends need to build off of good memories, and be able to get along well. Being a freshman in high school has really changed my entire view on life already. Knowing that I am not only in cheer as the mascot, but I play basketball, throw in track, and try to excel in school with my advanced classes. I have quickly realized that life is hard, but I recall no one ever said that it would be easy.

Today I had a few little brief conversations with a couple dads at the baseball fields. They explain to me why they came to the baseball program. Both dads said they love coming out and playing with their kids. An easy way to get a good session of parent-child time. Other than that, it was a bit of a struggle to find a LOC today, specifically because I usually talk to a women for me LOC, but today I was looking to talk to a man. Taking steps towards my next LOD shift, I went and talk to one of our directors here for advice. We talked for a bit about different approaches I can take, and I’ll be ready next time the opportunity comes around.

“The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says, “It’s a girl.” – U.S. Representative Shirley Chisholm. Scores fail to differentiate the meaning of sex and gender and how the two realities not only shape our personal lives but also shape our higher level ambitions, motivations, and socio-political and economic structure. Sex, in the biological context, refers to the physiological attributes found in those of male or female distinction. The more ambiguous question is what exactly gender is and how does it pertain to peace, security, and conflict. The APA (American Psychological Association) defines gender as “the attitudes, feelings, and behaviors that a given culture associates with a person’s biological

While leaving a mark, depending on whether it’s positive or negative, can be a great thing; however, it takes away from the now. If you want to leave a mark behind in the world, that’s great. You do you, boo boo. If you focus too much on the future, however, you don’t get to live your life right at that time. You just pass your life away, with the slight chance of actually leaving a mark, and having no memories of your youth. If you live for today, you don’t have to worry about the future; your future will work out in the end. I try to live every day to the fullest, doing what I love. I love to read books and draw and just have fun, and I try to read my book every day, draw a picture or a doodle, and/or have a blast.

A special attribute that can describe me is my large sense of determination. When I begin working towards something, I am not satisfied until I finish. However, an accomplishment that I am proud of is my self-defense skills that I learned from Tae Kwon Do. I earned my black belt before I entered middle school at Stone Bank Elementary. My sister, mother, and I joined Tae Kwon Do together but I was the only one to achieve a black belt because my mother dislocated her shoulder during class and my mother and sister stopped due to her injury but I kept thriving for the black belt. That was a big accomplishment for me. I had an amazing experience at a homeless food shelter when my church class went to Milwaukee to spend a day helping, serving,
