Personal Narrative: I Am Carlos Lopez

I am Eduardo Rodriguez also known as Eddie Rodriguez. I was born in Fontana, California in November 2, 1997 and raised in the outskirts of Los Angeles in the city of Pasadena. When I was younger, I attended over 5 elementary schools around the town until my family moved to La Quinta in 2005. Attending numerous schools when younger was abundantly demanding for me because every time I moved, I would have to start new, but it was a change that will encourage me to embrace the unexpected. I attended Palm Desert High School for 3 years and I relocated to Palm Springs my senior year. My vision of becoming a pharmacist or a professional football player has not altered at all however; I want to achieve both of my dreams before time starts to run out. In my family, I have 2 brothers, my mother,

I am Eduardo Rodriguez also known as Eddie Rodriguez. I was born in Fontana, California in November 2, 1997 and raised in the outskirts of Los Angeles in the city of Pasadena. When I was younger, I attended over 5 elementary schools around the town until my family moved to La Quinta in 2005. Attending numerous schools when younger was very difficult for me because every time I moved, I would have to start fresh, but it was a change that will encourage me to embrace the unexpected. I attended Palm Desert High School for 3 years and I transferred to Palm Springs my senior year. My dream of becoming a pharmacist or a professional football player has not changed at all, however I want to achieve both of my dreams before time starts to run out. In my family, I have 2 brothers, my mother, stepdad, and dog that are very healthy and happy. My mother was the first to go to college to become a nurse.

Starting high school can be a little scary, especially when you have no guidance from siblings, like me, being the first one from my family to have an education. But that did not stop me from succeeding, I?ve always been confident and determined. I?m an enthusiastic when it comes to trying new things. Who would have thought I was going to be a good athlete plus a book geek, when in my past years I was just a regular kid. I was pretty excited about joining a club that had a connection with high school, that way I didn?t have to start from zero, I always want to be a step ahead. Fortunately, in summer, a high school coach was recruiting freshmen for running either cross country or track, they both involve running, so I considered it like the same sport with different timing. And this is when it all started. Running

Although I have not thought about how I would stage a play I will give myself a chance to thinking thoroughly about how I would want an audience to receive a piece of work written by the four playwrights we have read this semester. Drawing on Wilson’s famous speech, I have an idea about what I would want. The Ground on Which I Stand is one that acknowledges the amazing playwrights we were able to read this semester. I appreciate what they have given to the world through the stage and in print. There have been plays that I resonated with me and some that were harder to grasp. Many of these playwrights talk about connections and family which is a way that I have connected with the characters. I wouldn't use many of the playwrights as influences

It's been an interesting year so far, and it looks like it is about to get even more interesting (more about that in a moment). What I wanted to write about in this here journal of mine is a new brand of shoe that I just purchased; they are called Nike running shoes, and I love them. They fit well, are comfortable and seem like they will last quite a while. I just had to have a pair (I think I'm the first one here at school to have them most of the other students have never even heard of them; Neanderthals, I know!). I predict they will be a big hit in the future. Okay, enough about shoes, let's move on to more serious matters, my love life! (just joking journal I have no love life right now). Oh well, I haven't written in here for the past few weeks, I guess I better talk about the events of the month. Let's see, it's October 1962 and a number of events have taken place; some here at the University of Mississippi, some in the United States and some internationally. Many of these events will likely have long-term impact on some very serious matters. Of course, I did not think any event would foreshadow James Meredith being admitted into the University, but, the first Negro being admitted into a higher education institution is an event that has only national implications, while the missile crisis in Cuba, could lead to death to thousands or even hundreds of thousands of citizens in both the United States and in Russia.

Individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) often have difficulty communicating with others. This deficit is most evident during the early years when there is limited social interaction or a lack of initiating conversations with peers. Since this is such an important component in the life of a child, many researchers have researched effective interventions to assist with teaching how to initiate conversations with peers.

It was a cool November day, in the middle of Afghanistan. As a medic, I was sitting outside my make shift aid station with one of my buddies sharing stories about home. We hear a loud explosion right outside of the wire. I looked up and could see the cloud of smoke billowing up from about two hundred meters away. Not knowing how bad the situation was, I grabbed a few of my soldiers, our translator and my aid bag and ran straight to the smoke. When we got there, a group of civilians were huddled around a group of people who were yelling, screaming and crying. The translator found out that a group of three men and three children were walking around a field when one of the children stepped on a mine. One of my soldiers grabbed the mine

I have been in the Marine Corps for roughly three and a half years and throughout that time I have done many things. Most of the things that I have done were with Combat Logistics Battalion 26. For three years, I worked with that unit through work ups and a deployment and I have seen and done many unique things. However, nothing I did with CLB 26 felt fulfilling, but that all changed when I changed units to CLB 8.

According to Carago et al. (2014), children on the spectrum struggle to thrive in social settings due to compromised ability to communicate, sharing with others, and acknowledging as well as responding to other people’s feelings. In addition, when participating in conversation, children on the spectrum often focus on specific topics, disregarding what the other person would like to talk about. Typically developing children may reject autistic peers, deeming them as socially awkward and believing their rigid behavior is rude. Peer rejection causes those with ASD to deal with severe feelings of social isolation. Deficits in social functioning makes it especially difficult for children with autism spectrum disorders to participate in class activities and learning through teacher and peer interactions (Camargo et al., 2014). Poor academic performance, peer rejection, social isolation, and social anxiety in those with high functioning autism is often contributed to insufficient social skills (Camargo et al., 2014). As mainstream schools are highly social in nature, children with ASD can struggle to learn in such settings without adequate social

My identity can be defined by moments in my life. Moving to Canada, learning English and going to high school are three major moments in my life. Going through these experiences have changed the person in me and made me more confident, stronger, better in everything.

An important part of every humans life is having something they believe in. Having something to care about is essential for people to reach their full potential in life. People need a special person in their life, or a great job that sparks passion in them to bring them happiness. There are many of these types of passions in my life but to better understand who I am, there isn't just one, there are three people who have shaped the young adult I am today. My two little sisters and my little brother. However they aren't exactly normal siblings, they were given to us by the City of Cincinnati for temporary care, while their mothers tried to recover from heroin addiction and battled in court to explain why their child was hospitalized because of a lack of food.

The way I am today directly reflects the way in which I was raised. The teachings of being smart with money, always using your manners, and always doing the right thing have helped to build my character as I have grown up. The community I lived in was very enjoyable where everyone was respected and friendly toward each other. The implemented rules and things we did as a family have stuck with me and helped shape the way I am today.

I consider my identity, interests and personality to be as if it was a chain, one which is all connected to my family, and the environment in which I was raised. As a kid, I was always extremely organized with everything I did. From cleaning my room, to making my school binder nice and neat. My mom always taught me to be efficient in every way I could to help me achieve everything I wanted better and faster. There was times where I would share rooms with my brother. His side of the room was always muddled and disorganized, and mine was all in order by colors and sizes. I was a weird kid, obsessed with neatness.

Identity is a complex ideal that everyone struggles with. Consequently, people often will not act as who they are due to a fear of being ridiculed. To me this is such a ridiculous time waster, instead this time people waste on being someone else could be used for much more meaningful memories. Society makes people feel like they have to fit a mold, yet I personally have learned from my dad that it is a necessity of life to accept who you are.
