Attending the Sandra Cisneros reading was a very pivotal moment for me. The closer I get to graduation, the more I think about what Im going to do with my life.

The boys and girls club has many great sports activities to join in to help get kids out of the street and become more active in their community. They are there for you when you need them the most and you make so many new positive friends through the activities they have. Camp voyageur was my favorite camp they made you feel wanted and you never felt left out the camp leaders helped you become a leader and made you feel more independent. Boys and girls club have shown me a lot in life and I want to further my education so that someday I can give back to them. With all of my reasons why I want to further my education the most important reason is so I can give back to my family and community one day.
And Experience that has had an big impact on me had to be when the non profit organization that i partner with decided to have an Homeless stimulation game, whereas you actually live as an homeless person outside and do all the necessary things that they do. Once it hit me that these are everyday people that bleed the exact someway i do, that cry the exact same way i do, I just knew that something or someone from my generation had to step up and make a change, someone had to step up and say ENOUGH! it's time we all start looking out for each other and not just for one another. So it just makes me want to continue to stay in school to further my education so that my future will be bright so that i may give back to all of those in need and not
I was utterly intimidated by just the idea of going to Girls State. I knew Girls State was mostly centered around the workings of government and politics, which was something I knew very little about. I had always been intrigued by how the political system worked, but I thought it was never something I would have an interest in. However, I fell in love with Girls State; the program encouraged me to strive to accomplish my goals and to became informed on news, politics, and simply what is going on around the world. Girls State taught me that as a Christian woman I can have my voice heard in the political world today and in the future.
Doing a presentation in high school with all the classmates I grew up with since preschool was scary enough. I think doing this presentation made me realize the reason why I’m in college. I learned through this experience that the only way to keep going in life is to get over what’s in the way of stopping you. In the beginning I felt like I was coming to college just because it was the right thing to do. For me this was a turning point in my life, I realized the true meaning for me coming to college.
It really opened my eyes to the struggles my family members have faced. There was always a chance for me to become an alcoholic due to the history, but I have been very lucky. Hearing the stories from these members made me realize that depending on alcohol will never an option in my
Looking from a child to an adult I now understand why the adults in the neighborhood watched over everyone. It taught me a that there is strength in numbers and love conquers all. Growing up the fourth girl of five kids wasn’t tough or awkward for me. I am the baby girl, therefore I got away with a lot. I learned early on I was different, but could not comprehend whether it was in a good/bad way as a child.
This was important to me because I recognized that life doesn’t stop, it will continually move. Seeing my sister get married just validated that life goes on and it is what you make of it. It showed me that I sought to go the path in life she did, she graduated college with a master’s degree in only 4 years’ time and came out of college doing a job she loves. I knew from this that I wanted to find a job I was passionate about and wanted to make a change in this world. Her marriage revealed to me that if you work hard enough in life all will fall into
It has impacted me in a great way in skills such as optimism, confidence, creativity, commitment in each assignment, among other benefits. I have used the activities I have learned in the program in other extracurricular activities such as after-school clubs. In the different outreach with the freshmen. The roles that I felt most comforted with is ... On the other hand, there are others that have cost me more.
The people begging on the streets taught me to never take anything for granted and to be grateful for everything that I have. The privileged who sneered and walked past these people showed me how looking down on others says a lot more about you than it does about the other person. The dirty khlong reminded me that ignoring a problem never helps and only makes it worse. The tall buildings showed me how it might seem that you are alone, but when you take a step back you can see that you are never truly alone. This city of angels helped me transform from a dependent little girl to a strong, independent young woman.
