Personal Narrative: My Specific Leadership In The United States

Studying in a foreign country is an interesting experience of an individual lifetime. One tends to learn a number of things relating to ways of life in a foreign land. Social, political and economic values and aspects are usually different from one region to another. Therefore, through studying abroad one is able to learn different issues about another society such as gender and sexuality issues, social class and race/ethnicity issues. Having come from a developing country studying in the U.S.A has been a great experience personally. This paper will attempt to provide a reflection of my personal experience on studying in the U.S by comparing the history of Angola and the U.S.

Growing up in Ghana, I had heard a lot of things about the U.S. This was a country I had always wanted to visit; my prayer was answered when I got the opportunity to travel there. Arriving in a new environment came with many experiences. Adjusting with food, language and the weather was not easy. With the passage of time, however I have been able to0 adjust and fit it. This write-up therefore is to elaborate on my experiences since coming to U.S.

I spoke to the leaders in Main on Friday regarding how many positions they needed filled and how long they've been waiting for replacements.

Some people may be confused in what responsibility even means. Does it mean be nice, make good decisions, and do what you're told? I've been taught many responsibilities throughout my life and the most important one is to try my hardest to walk in the light of Jesus. To do this I try to learn from my mistakes, treat others the way I want to be treated. Whenever I get the opportunity I bring God into the subject to try to show every one what a loving and caring father he his no matter how many mistakes you've made. I want people to know that no matter what they do or say to me, I will never deny my beliefs for God I will always shine my light and try to impact as many lives as I can. We are one Nation under God and I believe that's our responsibility to keep it that way.

My presidential run for office would be based off being truthful. I would tell the United States how the government has been taking money from them and spending it irresponsibly. I want to fix the United States because they fail to use money effectually. There needs to be someone that steps in and fixes the problem. When the people of the U.S. votes me into office that will be my task.

On October 27, 1858, I was born in New York City. I was very fortunate to be born into a wealthy and well off family, but I was not as lucky with my health. As a young child I was very weak and constantly ill. By the time I was a teenager, I was tired of being of being frail, and began doing gymnastics and weightlifting to build up my strength.

Through my academic years of highschool I wasn't allowed to participant in many activities due, to the fact that I had family obligations to serve and it meant I had to work in my uncle's owned restaurant, everyday after school and return home in the later hours of the night to complete my assignments due tomorrow, and this prevented me to enjoy the the many activities my friends were involved in. Though, I had worked many countless hours in the restaurant, there had been times where I was able to escape from the my reality and participate in very short and unconstant activities, for instance intramural basketball, where teams were formed to compete in every so often, to compete in a basketball game, and also, Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) where each individuals were tested for their personal knowledge of a topic relating to the business spectrum, and participants could compete in team events against other schools and their groups.

As an international student, it is critical to consider schools which are friendly towards persons who may not share the same culture as the major population of the student body. Having lived and thrived in a culture so different from my own for sometime, I have learned that for the most part, people are a lot welcoming to my culture when I do not try to hide from it but rather, offer my different perceptions and opinions about the questions I am being asked.

America’s greatest gifts to my generation in my thoughts, are freedom, internet access, and jobs.These are only some of the things that this generation are available to.We have been given the opportunities that people would have wished to have.Even so, some people take those chances, and abuse them.Here is why I chose these three opportunities.

With everything going on in the news and the new administration, I have been feeling the urge to do something. I happened to come across an online site where it talked about taking action. So, I decided to organize a Stockton Huddle, which is a 90-minute gathering for people of all walks of life to sit and calmly discuss their concerns about the new administration and its policies. Huddles are the second of 10-planned actions in the First 100 days of this presidency, which launched at the Women’s March in Washington D.C.

A simple cracking sound sent me plummeting to the cold hard ground breathless. The flashing lights illuminated not only an arena of dancing teenagers, but it exposed a world where no one cared. I lie restless while cradling my knee, trying to muster up enough oxygen to yell for help over the blaring beat. The crack in my knee shattered my perception and split my world in half.

A subject that inspires me U.S History. I have always wanted to learn more about our country. I have never been the best at math or science, but whenever I go to my history class I was always eager to learn more. I would always show up early to class and read the chapter we were learning about and ask questions to the teacher.

All the women in my family, myself included, love the Rob Reiner film American President (the one where Michael Douglas is the president and falls for Annette Benning) to the point where my mother and two aunts can quote the whole thing without missing a beat. While I’m not quite on their level yet, one quote that I can always jump in on is: “We have serious problems to solve, and we need serious people to solve them.” I want to be one of those people—a relentless problem solver with new, creative and innovative ideas to make the world around me a more connected place. And that’s why I’d flourish at Eugene Lang, as well as contribute to the driven and dynamic student body of artists and innovators that attend the school. I hope to become

The moment I saw the election results I broke down. Not only did I lose as President, but I lost as Vice President too. Suddenly, I was just the Secretary, the one who did nothing but listen to others. Suddenly, I would not be able to have as much influence as I aspired to have. Suddenly, it seemed to me, that the very students who had said they supported me were the very people who made me lose. It hurt my pride and affected my friendships. I felt like an outcast who everyone joked about. I contemplated quitting theatre because I felt unwanted by my peers. However, I pondered what that rash action would accomplish. I hadn't joined theatre for the approval of others, I joined because of my love for the theatrical arts. I realized that those

I was stuck in the 24-hour prison of signing day. I knew I wanted to get myself out there and break out of these introvert chains, but though I enjoyed my first year of French Club, managing it let alone becoming vice president is a responsibility that requires skills I thought I lacked. Raising my hand for the position that day, I dove headfirst into danger, thinking only of how I would regret the decision within the coming months. However, I knew it was for the best since I lived through enough anxiety and social awkwardness already; it was time to stop. Debuting my senior year as the new French Club Vice President, I set a lofty goal of making socializing my new favorite hobby.
