On May 14, 2017 I interviewed Pouneh Sanaee about what it means to be American to her. She’s an immigrant that moved here two years ago from Iran. she wants to be a pharmacist, start to play basketball basketball like she used to in High School, and be able to help her family. The reason that she moved here was because she is Baha'i and the government in Iran says that it’s crime to be Bahai. The government used to jail her family just because of what they believed in which is really sad.

The lecture that the instructors have to go over most of the time go in detail how what the students should do and what these instructors are expected from these students. These seminars are important, and this is the moment the students can ask a live question and receives a clarification either to an assignment or a group project. To encourage the students to attend or to participate in these seminars, KU sometimes gives a 5 or 10 points for attendance. In addition, any student who misses the seminar, there is another arrangement that is made which is very good for this student not only

Ebrahim Agheli Sturdivant 4 Kim-E 3 Humanities 10 29 March 2024 Strategies of the Civil Rights Movement In the 1860s, some laws enforced racial segregation and denied Black Americans equal rights in different facets of life, including education, housing, employment, and voting. Due to these unjust practices, there was a need for the Civil Rights Movement to fight against them. During the 19th century, Black Americans encountered failures of the Reconstruction Era and Jim Crow laws, while Asians experienced prejudice in society, mainly related to immigration and labor stereotypes which caused the Civil Rights Movement. Those failures and struggles caused both communities to face racial injustices. Despite this, Asian novelist Uyematsu and black activist Malcolm X both interfered in the Civil Rights Movement in an attempt to rectify racial injustices and discrimination.

Throughout this past week, thanks to Alabama Action, I have discovered the true meaning of a “servant’s heart” and discovered that when like-minded people get together, we can make a huge impact on the community. Servitude is something that is incredibly close to my heart and this week was the perfect introduction to all that the UA Honors College has to offer to help find ways to leave my mark. Coming into this week, we were just a large group of kids from every corner of the country – joined only by our desire to serve and our love for the University of Alabama. But, in just a few short days, we became a community of thinkers, leaders, and dreamers who formed bonds that will last throughout these next few years and beyond.

Not only from the coursework but also from the connections to Christ made in
I was always jealous of others that were naturally outgoing, so I decided to make a change. I started by taking a student council class, which has truly pushed me to go outside of my comfort zone, and I've become a better leader because of it. In fact, a couple of weeks ago, I hosted a pep assembly in front of the entire school, and I actually enjoyed it a lot.

Now that you better understand who I am and what my goals are, I would like the opportunity to explain the many ways this scholarship will help me achieve my
While reading this book, I come away with three major thoughts. First, Stokes provides a clear understanding of naturalism. Being able to understand naturalism, removes all confusion that may occur if I were to talk to a person about my beliefs. During this semester the topics of naturalism, skepticism, and multiverse theory, were often very difficult to follow. However, it is clear in How to Be an Atheist, and lends itself to apologetics, giving clear reason of argument.
Being Latino, this course has brought up some points that I have related to their values has changed the ways I think about things and believe that everyone deserves a chance and that our race shouldn’t define us. It is hard that we live in a conservative city that has isolated us in this bubble. Keep them striving and break this stereotype that everyone puts them into. This brought an eye opening of my awareness toward racism. The difficulty that they have to go overcome based on their race.
I have become more aware of my values and beliefs while taking into consideration other individuals values, beliefs, goals and their needs.

This scholarship is a wonderful opportunity for students of GVSU, and I am honored to be considered for this scholarship. I believe that I am a great applicant for this scholarship, and that I deserve this scholarship. One reason I deserve this scholarship is because of my strong academic courses.

These classes were all challenging, yet I pushed through with determination to complete the classes to the best of my ability.
