The American experience is not unfamiliar to me, I have been visiting America since I was a child and as a child I always wanted to move to America. My first visit here I fell in love with the culture specifically the freedom of expression. However the opportunity did not emerge for me to move to America legitimately and as promising young child, I did not want to damage my future by moving to a country illegally where I could not live to my full potential.

I started working the spring of 2013 and upon receival of my first paycheck, I was reminded that this is not the place I wanted to be.

The author of The Autistic Brain, Temple Grandin, a person living with autism herself, has made the absolute best of her situation and aims to help others do the same. Grandin is afforded a “ unique position to speak about both [her] experiences with autism and the insights [she] has gained from undergoing numerous brain scans over the decades…” (Grandin vii). Grandin’s skill at her occupation is also a benefit of autism, as she has a unique ability to visualize things, such as blueprints required for her job. She has reached a level of success that many do not and all by taking what seems to most like a disadvantage and figuring out how to turn it into an advantage.

Junior Progress Assessment #2 Autism is a neurological condition that causes those diagnosed with it to think, communicate, and act differently. Societal norms have convinced the world that autism is something that people struggle with, rather than something that accentuates the creative mind. Society has tried to make people with autism fit into the standardized mold that is normalcy; which will never be successful because autism is something that should be celebrated rather than hidden. Many have tried to articulate this sentiment through speeches, poetry, presentations, etc.

The America of Tomorrow I When you look at a pine tree on the mountain, it seems like it stays the same and never grows. However, what you see of that pine tree is different every second because there is nothing in this world is identical. As the Anglo-Saxon has imposed their culture on the people in the United States, particularly the minority groups, they thought the culture would be replicated but it would never be the same. In fact, we, the people, are looking for something more, something more exciting.

I walked into Organic Chemistry, laughing with my friend about an article we had read on how to levitate a frog with a magnet. We were hysterical just imagining what must have triggered an internationally respected scientist to turn the other and say “Dude, I bet we can’t levitate this frog with a magnet!” As team leader for our balancing equations group, “The Balancenators”, I asked the team to take our seats at the lab tables and remembered that we had a substitute from Ohlone College coming in to give us a lecture. He was a tiny, British guy with rolled up sleeves, and a strange obsession with stroking his beard, almost like a younger, shorter Gandalf.

In my house, the division of labor is kind of simple just for the fact that it’s just my mom and I. Because my mom has a full time job and helps support me, I’m the one who does most of the household work. When I’m not in class, I’m usually taking care of the house in some way. I clean, cook often and make sure our home is habitable. I take responsibility for most of the house work because I don’t want my mom to have to put it the extra hours of work, known as the second shift, like she did when I was growing up. When I was little and my parents divorced, I lived with my mother.

I chose this quote because it seemed like the truth to me. To me the author of the quote is trying to convey a deep truth that people do not want to see so they just push it away like it didn’t matter. When we go outside we discover our true selves and we actually conversate with people. Phones and electronics distract us from the people who are in front of us and who care about us. It also makes it to where we can’t see the mass destruction that we have had on our world.
