In December my friend had just come home from the marines on leave. We had recently planned on going to get tattoos and we picked our tattoos and went and got them. My tattoo is about hunting and describes my life really well. After a few days had past and the break was coming to a end I was wondering what people would think of me? I had heard story 's of people getting looked down on because they have a tattoo or not being able to get a job because they have ink on them. So those thoughts were going through my head also i had to see what people thought of me after i did it. For the first 3-4 months i had wore sweatshirts and long sleeves because it was cold. in February we had a dance in which i wore or short sleeve and in which people begin …show more content…

My look on my culture is being a outdoors man and being a athlete, The reason for me choosing this as my culture is because i play multiple sports such as football, Track and Power lifting. I also see myself as a outdoors man because i love being outside and i enjoy fishing, Hiking, Hunting. The things we do is listen to music and try to make the school a better place because we are one of the trophy heads of the school. If a athlete does something wrong its like a car left in neutral on a hill headed straight for a lake. That is why athletes try to set a good example but you always have a few of those who cause trouble and give athletes a bad rep. Being a outdoors man you gotta love the woods, Gotta love to hike and be outside and seeing animals and birds, When you go hunting and fishing you gotta love being out there even if you don 't get anything because that 's part of what it is. Consequences of not fitting in you would look weird. One example is like when one of my teachers went to get a oil change and country music was playing, so the first thing he ask is if its Toby Keith when its no where close. At the end of the day i 'm glad to see that he made the attempt. It will seem like you 're trying to hard. Its not hard to fit in the athlete profile. Rewards for fitting in is that you make tons of friends and tons of memories and you get in really good shape no matter what sport it is. Advantages of fitting into this culture is memories last forever, The lessons you

“What’s that thing on your face?” was the first thing I heard when meeting a new kid for the first time. Although this type of greeting is generally considered rude, I was never ashamed of my birthmark. My mother had convinced me that it was an “angel kiss”, and that very few babies had the privilege of being kissed by an angel. Those who were, would have a mark forever. At first glance I looked pretty normal as a young boy: two eyes, a nose, a mouth--the usual, but as I met other kids, I realized that they were staring at the bright red birthmark that dominated the left side of my face.

Harpreet Kalsi: University of Michigan The “jock” is one of the most infamous high school stereotypes, yet it is not far from reality for many high schoolers that play sports. Egos driven from making the team, hearing stadiums cheer their name (even though they are really cheering on the team), and the unavoidable spotlight often make way for an athlete to sometimes become a “jock”. This can happen because of the difference between jocks and athletes; Jocks are associated with ego, popularity, arrogance, and narcissism while athletes connotate drive, determination, humility, and selflessness. So while both play side by side, their characters have grown to be quite different. This is how sports hough high school have influenced me; they have helped me grow and learn humility and purpose.

Culture is a way of thinking, a way of behaving and learning. We express our opinions based upon our beliefs, and define ourselves by what aspects of our culture we choose to show. Culture's impact on someone's perspective of others and the world is greater than its other influencers because it can change how you interact with people, your ability to change, and your opinions of the world.

Definition of the word worldview can vary greatly, ranges from “we are all what we think” which has been inspired by Buddha, to a more current view being that it is a set of assumptions and beliefs that have an all-powerful effect , both on cognition and behavior.

Enclosing a myriad of life experiences, family values and lessons into a single word is quite a challenge. I am a product of Italian American culture.
