My World

Gateway To The World Traveling isn’t in everyone’s favor, but it sure is in mine. British novelist, Lawrence Durrell once quoted, “Travel can be one of the most rewarding forms of introspection.” The reason I enjoy traveling is because it takes me on a journey for finding my inner self. Before traveling, I’ve always been closed- minded at how I viewed the world, but once I got a bigger look at how the world works, my thoughts and I, myself have changed. It all begins on a sweltering day in Schertz

tightly to my backpack and struggling to keep still. We passed the clouds and as the New York City skyscrapers that once towered above me became ants, I decided that no matter who I became when I grew up, that person had to see the world. I have wanted to study law and politics for as long as I can remember. Five year old me also wanted to use the law to save the world. However, many recent events in America, such as the shooting of Mike Brown, have served to strengthen this desire but change my focus

time. As time passes, be days, moths, years or only simply one experience can change our whole vision of the world, about life, about what really matters and consequently about our goals. Throughout my whole life I have questioned so many aspects of my life, of existence, and consequently about my future. I never stopped wanting to achieve something big, that could change the whole world, some amazing adventure that would be the one thing that would give birth to all the amazing things that could

The most memorable trip my family has ever taken would be our trip to Disney World. My family and I have went to Disney three times, each time we have went I've had the best time of my life. Nothing could make me feel the way going to Disney with my family does. At Disney I have made memories that will last a lifetime. From the memories on the drive down to Florida to the memories we make while we are there. I remember the very first time I went, you can ride a ferry boat to get to Disney. We decided

philosopher on language, said, “The limits of my language are the limits of my world”. By this Wittgenstein implies that people use just one language and therefore live in just one world, and if someone is not capable of using the language, their world is narrowed. However, Albert Einstein had a conflicting opinion, he cheapened the importance of language and said, “The words of a language as they are written and spoken do not seem to play any role in the mechanism of my thought.” His quote shows that a scientist’s

blessing to have changed the world in some memorable way, while the rest of us remain insignificant and unimportant among the grand scheme of things. However, no matter how small, each and every one of us has left an impression on someone, and that is our legacy. In my imagination, my legacy isn’t great. My legacy is not written across textbooks and it’s not something people will forever cherish or hate. If I continue to live the way I have, I’ll be a normal person, and my legacy will only exist to

I embarked on my ten-week journey into the corporate world at Deloitte, determined and open-minded, soon subjected to the realities of what tech consulting truly was - beyond the corporate mantras and recruiter pitches. In stark contrast to university - applying technical concepts, synthesizing key meeting discussion points, and attending 9am stand-ups quickly became the norm. For me, this placement was about challenging what I knew as a young professional and adult and in doing so accumulating a

Margaret Mead once said: “Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For, indeed, that’s all who ever have.” This quote certainly holds true for me. When I was in elementary school, a caring man changed my life without knowing it. In second grade, my mother signed me and my little sister up for ice skating class. For an extremely brief time period, I had visions of becoming a figure skating prodigy, but they immediately dissipated as soon as I stepped onto the ice. I couldn 't

and justify amazing scenarios. For a lot of reasons, our biology is built on self-preserving ourselves. If you see someone getting made fun of they always have an excuse, or if something goes wrong it is somebody else's fault. I’ve seen this a lot in my day-to-day, especially in football. It’s astonishing in football how we watch film of every play, but interpretations can still change reality. For instance, one player may say he didn’t miss a block, he just didn’t think he was supposed to block that

Taylor Creighbaum Pre-Reading My definition of world history are the seemingly large and not so large events that have created the society and culture we have today. Without these events, we would not be where we are now. Several things about world history interest me while some things do not. I find learning about battles or wars to be very interesting. I also find how people lived long ago to be fascinating. However, I do not particularly enjoy learning about explorers and what they explored.
