lived a peaceful life here until 2015 when my mom was hit by a car and 2016 when my dad was killed. These events in my life have inspired me to be the best person that I can be. Even though those events were tragic I would rather not focus on them during this essay. Instead I would like to introduce myself, I am Duke Malcolm Frye. I play tackle football for the Phoenix Storm at the 14u level, I wrestle for the school, and play basketball. My favorite color is orange, my favorite band is Guns and

My personal philosophy of involving families in the classroom environment, forming partnerships with families and building communities within your classroom. I feel is so important to the parents as well as the child. This is based on research, classroom discussions, as well as being involved in many school systems throughout my thirty years of being a parent, a room mother, and a substitute in the classroom.

The discourse community I have chosen is within my sorority, Delta Delta Delta (Tri Delta). There are many stereotypes associated with Tri Delta, and that is the most irritating thing about being in a sorority. Anyone from my high school would insist that I am not a sorority girl if someone were to ask them. When I started my fall semester, I was not expecting to rush because once again again, I am not the “sorority type”. Greek life at Boise State is unlike any other campus. Some may think that

I was always allowed to dance in the rain and was constantly reminded that spiders just as afraid of me and I am of them. I never had just one favorite color and I never had just one favorite book. And there were never enough answers to satiate my hunger for knowledge. My parents provided me with occasion to explore my interests and pursue my passions. I found joy in horseback riding, karate
My favorite quote will always be by Sappho in which she says, “Someone, I tell you, in another time will remember us.” She was right. She’s remembered for being a gay poet and is immortalized despite a lot of her works not being found completely. It’s one of my favorite quotes because identifying as a nonbinary queer person who also likes girls, I can relate to Sappho a lot when she writes about her desire for love and personal heartbreaks. This quote also brings me ease as even in “another time”
When I was younger, one of my favorite movies was Lilo and Stitch, a story about a girl and her pet “dog” named Stitch. One of my favorite quotes from the movie says, “Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.” Although I live in a place with weather that is the opposite of Hawaii’s and do not have an alien pet, my family and community have taught me the spirit of “ohana.” My parents were raised on the island of Sri Lanka, well known for having a similar tropical
