I wish you were there, asleep in your room. You, big brother with the unparalleled ability to sleep until three in the afternoon three months in a row; you who can drive all the way to your place in Whistler using your peripheral vision.” Braidie looks at Trevor as her superior and shows how she has finally stood up for Sofie because of him. To me, my relationships with my family help me to realize what type of passions that I would choose in the future. Considering that I have gained the skills similar to my father such as excelling in my mathematics and science courses and my mother’s caring nature, I would naturally look my to parents who would support me to achieve my goals, such as becoming a software engineer. This was my dream since Grade 9 as I learned about my skills in programming and coding on Khan Academy and enjoyed working with computers. My father supports this goal because he is an engineer as well, and I am taking the footsteps of my father. Therefore, one of the most important influences to achieve our goals is that of our family.

Community Living: After graduation, Jayland will live temporally with his parents and then will move into a dorm with a

foolproof and executable post-high school plan. So the obvious route was to go community college. I grew up a boy with little to no friends and was insulted regularly. I started to realize I was different in middle school when my attraction to the same sex grew. My epiphany only drew more people to verbally attack me. The pain I felt throughout my childhood caused a spark to ignite in my heart. A passion for aesthetics, art, choreography, and graphic design filled my life. Growing up with a cliché sob story, essentially, led to my career choice. Through dance, I was able to relieve feelings of distress and anxiety. It was the shining part in my life until the age of fifteen. At the age of fifteen my friend Megan met a boy named Joey Bonilla who was Deaf and mute. Everyday after school, at the base of the staircase, I would curiously watch as Megan and Joey signed to each other. Seeing this peaked my interest in sign language. The following school year I made the decision to take sign language class through our school’s Deaf program. I quickly learned sign language and eventually became a natural. The ability to interpret songs through sign, much like

Decision-making is at the core of the United States Supreme Court. The justices are not immune to possessing political ideologies and similarly to the American public, those ideologies impact their lives to varying degrees. The facet of judicial politics explored in this paper is decision-making and the impact of ideology. While it would be ideal for the Supreme Court to have zero influences other than the constitution, it is also wishful thinking. Author Jeffrey Toobin agrees with political scientists that the justices of the United States Supreme Court make decisions and rulings that are a result of their ideologies and personal values. He says, “All justices have a political ideology as well as a legal philosophy--- that’s a big reason presidents choose them in the first place.” Perhaps the most astute opinion on this matter comes from Justice Sonia Sotomayor:

Would you rather die of oil wars, climate change, nuclear holocaust, or none of the above? The obvious answer would be none of the above. We live in a world today where we have become dangerously addicted to the already rare and limited fossil fuels because it is cheap. It is dangerous because the world will eventually run out and fight over these resources. It is also dangerous because these resources are very polluting and it puts everyone’s lives at risk. We could eliminate our addiction to fossil fuels so that the world would not have to worry about another war that puts valuable lives on the line. There are many ways we can contribute in improving the energy
