Where I Stand - Writing Assignment
I am from a family with a dad, step-dad, mom, older sister, older brother, and then two younger half-brothers. I am at my best when I am surrounded with people who love me and who I love. I am a girl who enjoys comedy, mysteries, action, and yes, love stories. I am born and raised in Salt Lake City Utah, though I visit Baton Rouge Louisiana a lot. I am giving my all to go to Austin Texas University. I like watching movies, listening to music, drawing, writing, singing, dancing, and skating. I like watching movies, especially with my family, it’s exciting to see multiple reactions to whatever’s on the screen. Listening to music is my escape from everything, it’s my happy place. Even though I’m not a good

Racism is a big problem, no matter who it’s against, I still think it’s wrong. Sexism is stuff I get all of the time, just because I’m a girl does not mean that I can’t do things that guys can (granted males can do a few things females can’t do, and males can’t do a few things that females can because of physical differences). Higher and lower social rank is meaningless, just because someone has more money or knows a few more people doesn’t mean that they are any better than anyone else. I despise mental and physical abuse, to anything or anyone. Abuse is incredibly wrong, you should never lay a hand on anyone or anything unless it is some sort of kindness. I do not care for hate in the world, it’s a nasty word that is used way too much, with a nasty and hurtful meaning. I am tired of how the world makes people, how rude people are, how nobody cares about anything anymore. The world itself doesn’t cause how people are, however people and things bring others to be sad and mad. I am tired of rude people are all around the world are. I am extremely tired on how people don’t care about anything. Most people don’t care about the environment, people, pets, wild animals, even their own lives. I am pretty tired of all of
Sometimes I go to the movies to become completely brain dead, and just enjoy the visual aesthetics. Other times, I analyze the shot selection, the editing, the lighting, and the visual effects. I concentrate on how I can emulate certain film techniques. Another hobby of mine is watching sports, especially the National Football League. I am Cardinals fan, and I believe the Cardinals are Super Bowl bound this year. Although, Seattle is looking intimidating after they demolished the Cardinals, 36 to 6. Lastly, I enjoy reading. I read books and comics. Some of my favorites, are The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner Series, the Euthyphro, Planet Hulk, and Marvel
This will probably sound cliche, but I enjoy live music, film photography, and latte art. I'm overly obsessed with anything Wes Anderson has created. I've been slowly building up a collection of records.

I live with both of my parents (Sabrina and Kenneth Burton) and my little sister Amber Burton.

Shouldn’t go out with friends. They shouldn’t go to school, all get married at a young age, and I was always against that women should have equal rights as women. Take an example I have a brother he would go out with his friends, drink party has fun. However if I did those things I was shunned, or even disgraceful. When it comes down to racism I never was racist I had a lot of friends who African American loved them just as much as any other race, I also had a lot of friends who were gay, and lesbian they are people too I treat everyone the way I would like to be treated.
Who we are is a concoction of our life journey, relationships, tastes, goals, and countless other things. I am a family girl from Mexico who is a first generation college student. My family is the greatest part of who I am. They would give and do anything for me and vice versa. Life has brought me to the construction science program at Texas A&M and I could not be more excited to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!

In April of 2005 then Florida governor Jeb Bush signed into law Senate Bill 436. This bill expanded and clarified the Floridians’ self-defense rights against violent attackers. In effect beginning October 1, 2005 the new law was written to relieve the burdens of a person that had the possibility of ending up a victim due to the actions of a would be attacker looking to threaten them or cause them harm (Wallace, 2006). While Florida was the first state to enact Stand Your Ground, Florida is now just one of 24 states that have similar laws (Lee, 2012). With the support of law enforcement, Stand Your Ground has become a popular law with a majority of citizens in Florida. Stand Your Ground has become a political statement for supporters of
Stand by Me is a movie directed by Rob Reiner based of the novel “The Body” by Stephen King. The movie is about four boys who go on an adventure to find a dead body but the journey changes their point of view on life. The experience helps them to get ready for the future ahead like their transition to high school. The opening scene is very interesting as it introduces the theme of friendship, the character of Gordie and the setting of present to past.
Since the pitchers do not bat, this causes further separation between the two groups, adding even more discontinuity to the situation, highlighting the differences between the two sub-groups. The fact that the field players are divided up into two teams to play against each other but the pitchers are left out makes it almost like there is three teams and that causes competition. This brings as to an idea that Simmel had about groups: “A typical example of multiple group affiliations within a single group is the competition among persons who show their solidarity in other respects” (Simmel. 2006:155). Pitchers belong to the team as a whole but also to their sub-group. The sharp distinction of the pitchers being a “third team” during scrimmages,
I was born May, 30th 1989 at Wadley Medical in Texarkana, Ar. I was born to Kym Crispino from Queens, NY and William Lee of Hot Springs, Ar. My parents were young when they had me. We were very poor at times, but they always made sure I had what I needed. I was an only child, but grew up around plenty of cousins. I have lived in Texarkana my entire life. My parents split up when I was twelve, and my mother and I moved out into the country on a dead-end street with no children in the area, I became very sheltered and a little socially awkward.
I have a family of five, two brothers and two parents. My dad works for Ricoh, a company that sells printers, copiers and software. He grew up in a Greek household in northern Chicago. My mom started her own interior design business a few years ago and works for herself. She grew up on a farm in eastern Indiana in the small town of Fort Wayne. My brother Nick is enrolled at University of Iowa and will graduate with a finance major in May. My other brother Drew is a sophomore at University of Illinois and plans to major in finance or accounting. Then there is Matt, the fidgety man who tinkers with electronics, enjoys woodworking and creates better alternatives for random things (toys, RC cars, furniture, etc.). I plan to pursue engineering at University of Illinois, University of Iowa or University of Iowa State because of my love for problem solving and working with others. Golf will forever be apart of my life and so will my passion for pond hockey (as long as my body lets me). I may be quiet and shy when I first meet you but I’m a totally new person around my friends and very outgoing. I’m determined to work hard and make a change in the world someday. I hope to create a lasting legacy on this Earth.
Everybody has a story ,but every single one of us has something special in our life. I was born in a small town called Villalba near the south of Puerto Rico. As for the school, I graduated with high honors, especially in math. Ruben is my younger and only brother, he is fifteen years old. Three years ago, my family decided to move to the United States looking for the "American Dream". We left everything. our friends, families, we just left our whole life. When we arrived here I did not know the language, but after a couple of months I learned to defend myself and to help my parents who still do not know the language very well. My dream has always been to become a movie actor. Whenever I watched a movie with my family I would me more inspired.
First you probably need to know a little bit about me, I love watching sports mostly just football and basketball, I like playing video and I love watching movies especially from the 80s, for example some of my favorites are the back to the future trilogy, the first three Indiana jones movies, Ferris Buller’s day off and the Breakfast club, just to name a few. I remember the first time I watched all those movies. I remember me, my dad and my brother went to blockbuster and we rented the Indiana jones movies, the first time I seen them I was terrified, then in grade eight me and a few friends had a movie marathon and watched all of them at once, we also did a star wars, lord of the rings, and Rocky movie marathon. The first time I watched the breakfast club and Ferris Buller’s day of I was in my basement with my brother. I know that sounds like it has nothing to do with me and who I am as a person but I love watching movies and watching those kind of started my love of movies.
Born in 1958, I was raised in an emotionally reserved, lower middle class family in a small industrial town in Indiana. I have one brother, five years older than myself.
Finally, after a hard-working day, what can be more satisfying than watching films and concentrating with amusement on the plots? Dancing, Swimming requires a specific time to be followed. After getting very much tired I basically like to watch movies or watch Television. It is an excellent medium for mass education & recreation. We enjoy drama, sports, events, news etc and utilize our time efficiently.
