Personal Narrative: My Pop Culture

When I was in third grade my teacher assigned us to write a book titled “All About Me” and just about every word was spelled incorrectly. I remember my teacher reading it and asking what word I was trying to spell out and I got upset. I felt like I could not spell anything I was trying to write, put things into the right words, or into the correct order. However, in seventh grade my writing changed when my English teacher assigned us a paper to write about a book the class was assigned to read. My writing had improved, but still had its problems. My English teacher always told me that there is no such thing as a perfect paper. After he read my rough draft, he handed it back to me and there were red marks all over it, so I went home and fixed

Bennett (2005, p.??? ) argues that “Fashion provides one of the most ready means through which individuals can make expressive visual statements about their identities” . It is said that clothes play a big role in the society: it can either identify or hide a person and in term of revealing identity garments can show one’s tastes, politic position, status in the society, ‘power and success’, educational and cultural background and sexual preferences (Bennett, 2005). Fashion not only helps to express but it also gives a personal satisfaction when appearing in a favourable way and a pleasure of wearing a good fabrics. (Bennett, 2005). There is no one true meaning of the garment and the cultural meaning can vary from the one intended by its designer. The clothes can signify different things depending on the wearers and their background, political, economical and cultural context and the environment. This is the reason why the message sent by the wearer through the garment can be different from the message received by the society (Bennett, 2005). Fashion identifies not only different individuals, but also it can be a mean of a social groups and certain garments can show an individual belonging to a social group or subculture (Bennett, 2005).

More than a few people believe it to be about sexual repression and making sure that the only man that is allowed to look at a woman is her husband. That is not true for many Muslim women. For some, it is to worn to express modesty and their devotion to God. Some women choose not to wear them because it is completely their choice. Whether it is based on prejudice or the disbelief that a non-English speaking country could allow its women this basic freedom, some Americans choose to not believe this. The lives of Muslim women became the focus of inaccurate Subject Appropriation, which is when an “outsider represents members or aspects of another culture” (Young

I found relaxing bamboo flute music on YouTube when I was doing bad in school. This soothing flute music helped me to control all my built up energy. I feel like this music helped me to concentrate and it also helped me focus. It was during the middle of freshman year I realized that I had a lot of trouble concentrating so I looked up relaxing music. Once I heard the bamboo flute I felt it calm me down. Like when I listen to this music I can concentrate better. When ever I am upset or angry I put this song on and my feelings just go away, it's like the music puts me into a dreamland. Growing up I always would have a hard to paying attention and concentrating but when I heard the bamboo flute I felt like it changed me.

It is a somewhat unspoken agreement that people all have, and breaking this agreement is frowned upon. The bathroom is a very unsocial place. You go do your business and then leave, it is very simple. The social norm that I broke was talking to someone in the stall next to me, and continuing to have a conversation even when it was clear they did not want to have one.

My mom said ‘’We should eat beerbutt chicken for dinner, after your sister and I get home from the grocery.’’ 2 hours later …. My mom and my sister were home from the grocery.

My Signature Themes are achiever, arranger, responsibility, input, and significance. Each of these are very significant in defining my strengths and showing me how to best use my strengths in my future. My first strength was achiever and this is representing me as a whole, and is what I use in everyday life. I am a driven person who wants to accomplish many things and I visualize my life as a mountain that I will overcome every day and at the end of every day I will have a beautiful view of what I have accomplished. I use every day in events such as: relentless volunteering, working long hours and everything is done with an impeccable sense of satisfaction after completion. My second and third strengths are arranger and responsibility. These

“To the world, you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.” Throughout my life, I have been blessed with two individuals who were the world to me and have inspired me to be a person whose daily mission is to make a child’s day better. Both of these inspiring women loved children, and when I was a child, they made me feel like I was important each and every day. They made my heart feel whole and my face smile endlessly.

In 2008, I was given an opportunity to learn about a whole new culture. My family had recently moved from India,and we were new to the American concepts. The Mardi Gras Parade was approaching. My uncle decided that it would be a great idea for our whole family to go see the parade to get settled in America. My family and I were greatly thrilled and accepted the offer without hesitation.

“Is the real world frightening and hard?” Is the question I ask to my parents all the time. On my birthday they always tell me the story about how hard it was for them when I was born and now I am about to tell you the story. My parents had me at a very young age. They did not finish college, imagining what they went through while telling me the story was having me put in a lot of knowledge about the real world. You make one little mistake and it is over for you because, you cannot go back and fix it. Now I know why my parents push me and motivate me and lead me into the right direction. They are preparing me for the future and what I have planned after I graduate High School and College.

It all began back in the lasting popular culture and the infamous one hit wonders that would shape what we know as the years of the 90’s. I finally was born January 3rd, 1990, and my grandparents had just successfully bought land in northern Loomis, CA and built their first house! When I go back in time during that era all I can think about is how we were more aware and focused on the environment. I remember from a very early age that I naturally took interest in gardening thank to my grandmother Mimi. I remember my Papa was always out working on the acres for many sun hours getting our horse stables prepared and moving a lot of the chicken’s pens to their proper places. My grandma Mimi was always smiling and happy to be out in her yard creating

any of my previous content types. Unlike a video or a written piece of content, a good Instagram photograph is an instant message - this is why I have now adopted Instagram as my main blogging outlet. Ultimately, marketing and SEO are two of the key tools in my toolkit because I fully intend to put them to formidable use once I have my personal website fully built and the Breaking Cinema podcast finished. If I had taken the job with Sunflower, I would never have obtained the current level of understanding I have with marketing and SEO precisely because I would not have had the time to experiment as I have done with my online presence. You can read more about my understanding of marketing on my DigitalMarketing.me coursework blog.

My primal interests are about humans’ cognition, and its uniqueness. In the other words, I am interested in cognitions of both similarities and differences between human and other animals, especially social animals. Compared with animal brains, humans have larger neocortex than animals, and this allows human to have more complex cognitive ability than other animals. However, there are many similarities between human and animal brains, and this allows animals to be more sensitive with certain sensory such as smell and sounds. In addition, some animal species have their own community, but they do not have the language like humans do, and so I am interested in how their communications proceed.

    Where do we go when we have nothing on our minds? Where do we go when we go quiet? I can not be the one to tell you. My mind is always focused on the next and can never stay put. My mind is like Hong Kong (most densely populated place on Earth) during a rush hour. It’s a room full of commotion and noise that can’t find the escape door. It’s fun at times, but unbearable when all you want to do is shut yourself out from the world and relax. I can’t pay attention in my classes in school because I am thinking about all the things I have to do. I can’t enjoy my meal during lunch because I am thinking about who I should ask to recommend me for the universities I still haven’t applied to. I refuse to take naps after a long

5 years since I moved....Family. Life. Memories. It was a night filled with memories, experiences, and most of all, the word: family. A night where a new life will begin and most of all a night where I was depressed ; a year ‘till I will see my grandparents. I looked into their eyes for the final time, and boarded into the airplane. Everyone was crestfallen about this move; tears coming down their cheeks. I was young, thrilled for a new experience, yet to realize true meaning of family, life, and the real world.
