Personal Narrative: Histor History

It taught me a lot on how to really listen to those commercials and ads on tv and better understand them. Before when I was listening to ads I really was just hearing a bunch of words but now that I know what I'm looking for they make so much more sense to me. Also I like the fact that i can pick out all the logical fallacies in the commercials now. When we first started the project i really didn't understand those but as i looked for them i realized how easy it is to see them. I also felt smarter when listening to them because of it haha. This project also made me more aware of other ways to look a subjects. I see it's important to listen to both sides of the story before deciding because everyone is really in it for themselves. It also really showed that if as a country we actually worked together we would do so much better then we

History enables people to discover their own place in the stories of their families, communities, and nation. History shows strength in countries and guides approaches in life. As citizens learn more about history, critical skill develop throughout that process. Its very important to know a type of history to have a sense of independent thinking and to understand cultural heritage. Learning about history brings discussions about debatable issues, and having a better understanding of the challenges the nation could be facing. Without historical leaders, leadership skills wouldn't be as strong as they are today, learning apart of history inspires local and global leaders, giving role models for the type of leaders that deal with difficult challenges in their community, nation and even the globe world. Without the preservation of our histories, future citizens will have no grounding in what it means to be an American

" The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams."- Oprah Winfrey. This quote meant a lot to a 13 year old youngster named Jared, who lived in the most impoverished town within Cambodia. To be quite specific, Jared resided in an old, rusty village, during the year of 2001, that he'd been living in since birth. His greatest aspiration in life was to become a geneticist. However, he did have a few roadblocks, such as poverty, and zero education. Whenever unoccupied, he strived to pay his Grandma Seda a visit at her senior citizen home, which was funded through the Cambodian government. Speaking of her, Grandma Seda was 96 year old lady and happened to be the grandmother of Jared. She was located at a senior citizen home 20 miles away from Jared's home. Six months ago she was diagnosed with leukemia and slow organ failure. Since her diagnosing, her health has been deteriorating rapidly.

Finally, through history we can do things correctly. We might have done much better than before because we already know its history. And besides, everything that is happening today is the product of history. It helps us become more efficient in decision making, one starts to inquire and be interested in things that may greatly affect lives in the present and

Change is inevitable. Whether it be positive or negative, change is constantly happening. More than often change can take you from the known world and spit you into the unknown, where you return a changed person. While embarking on the journeys provoked by change, you are on a hero’s journeys. The hero’s journey was popularized by Joseph Campbell. When describing what prompts hero’s journeys, Joseph Campbell said,

History class in itself has a specific purpose which seems to be frequently forgotten. We learn about violent and horrible events in our past, as well as life- changing and positively impacting ones. From the negative events, we learn what went wrong and how to prevent similar tragedies from happening. From the positive, we gather knowledge and comprehension of the basis of our modern society. We are a self- repairing race, analyzing every flaw and figuring out what caused it. It's an ancient practice, trial and error is human nature.

Participating in the project made me aware of the things I want to do to help children when I become a Social Worker, and the project renewed my love for service. I would recommend this project to a community because once you realize that your one or two book packs where included in a huge cause, it makes a person actually feel like they made a difference. Just imagine 400 book packs from only 12 of 992 chapters. When I do the math and every 12 chapters bring 400 book packs that’s about 33,066 book packs and about

-According to the recording this has been going on for some time now – Coulson tells Thor as soon as the recording has ended.

Everything will be okay. A set of four simple words that have been engrained into the very fiber of my being on any occasion that an unfortunate event occurs. Unfortunately, those “unfortunate events” were more so a daily routine. The Tyrant, better known to some as my father was a kind enough man, yet his very presence at home caused an almost suffocating layer of tension in the air. He was a teacher, a beloved one at that, yet to my sisters and I he was more of an undiscovered land mine. Everything seemed okay from above, but below, it could blow up at any given moment, at any given moment he would be set off; he would yell, and more than likely, lash out at me. This behavior was a root cause of my

First, it taught me how to strive for the best in classes and other activities that I participate in. The History Day process significantly improved my researching skills which have carried over to my abilities in other areas. Learning to research and present research effectively are skills that will help me in life. Second, History Day taught me to persevere when times get tough by forcing me to work efficiently, even during late night work sessions, so that I could meet deadlines and perfect the project as much as possible. Mediocrity was never an option, as I wanted to put in effort that would result in an excellent product.

What if you were destined to save your town, would you be heroic enough? What is a hero? Campbell’s Heroic Journey, The Hobbit, and story/ film explains. My idea of a hero is being a person who sacrifices themselves for others, and doesn't think people are less worthy than themselves. The Heroic Journey describes that anyone can be a hero, examples of that would be The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, which is a story about a group of men go on a death defying journey to save the town. The other story is How to Train Your Dragon is similar with other supernatural events. Such as dragons and bugs. Despite having similar heroes, The Hobbit had a stronger Heroic Journey because there were more obstacles.

There’s a slim chance that a person can be strong all the time. Although that may be true, there’s an internal drive to want to be the person that everyone can rely on for support. I embody that person. I have moved twenty-seven different times, my parents are divorced, I have lived by myself for the past five years, and I learned how to live without people. However, since I knew what true loneliness felt like I made sure that everyone knew they could rely on me. I have never really cried and always carried the persona that I didn’t care what people thought about me, and I made sure that even if I was having a bad day that no one else was. I have been bullied ever since I can remember, until I gained personal confidence and was determined to

Something I learned during this project was how important and crucial the Columbian/American Exchange is and how it shaped the world we live in today. Before this project, I had barely heard of the Columbian/American Exchange and I thought that the only thing that Christopher Columbus did was discover the New World. While it is true that Christopher Columbus discovered the New World, there was a lot more that happend

I hope the interviews are going well. Steven and I met with Dr. Gaines this morning about eRate, I am happy to say he doesn't want to submit the paperwork. This is a relief since the way Sharon submitted them in the past goes against some of our basic principles.

I enjoyed the school subject History cause there so much it has changed and how it changed our life today still using same things from old days  how we go about doing it. Its something different way to explore different ways of living new places like such as here weather is hot and if I travel to Alaska work up north I will be experience lots of snow in which in Alabama sometimes get bit here. It will teach me how  able to survival different things I may face in my life time. Some places maybe heavy populated with Animals like big bears or moose’s like in Alaska and we have here in Alabama such as we have lots of deer.
