While many of my family, friends, and peers have been vocal in their religion and belief, I once felt the harsh and consuming uncertainty of my greater role or place on earth. A sense of doubt and insecurity made me feel that there was no hope in a blind faith. My parents were born “good Christian” believers but still had to face the irony and hurt that their own parents and siblings had entangled them in. In school and on television I learned of crusades, hate crimes, and murders justified with
Scholarship has been an important ideal for me my entire life. I believe we all should aspire to learn more. We should appreciate our chance to learn as much as we want. Scholarship, is more than just learning though. It is about knowing as much as you possibly can. I aspire to do this everyday. I can do this by never hesitating to ask questions.

couldn’t make a living off of art, that I could inspire future generations in a different way. I’m a junior now, and I may not have it all figured out, but at least I have an idea as to what I desire to accomplish in my lifetime. I became an American when I entered this world 16 years ago, and since then my duty to my country, is the same in which I owe to future generations, to past generations, and to my own. My responsibility to America is to inspire. I’ve noticed that in America if you work hard

because someone else's writing can relate and have an effect on your own life. The conflict in “The most dangerous game” by Richard Connell is a man to man conflict when Rainsford is forced to be the prey in General Zaroff's “hunting.” This reminds me that in life we have to do things we don't want to do. Sometimes it can be an arduous, tough, and burdensome situation like the one Rainsford is going through. Rainsford’s first response is “I will not hunt” but is later running for his life. The situation
Culture is the definition of a person, like the prologue to your favorite story. The not so scientific DNA that makes you, you. The influences and people that shape your behavior, and change your characteristics. It is the environment in which you are surrounded by. The reasons behind your peculiarity. Your culture is the most important thing, your culture is you. My culture is the constant of support that my family gives me, even if I do screw up sometimes. My culture is pureness of the love that
In this town, you know the name of every person you pass in the halls and the family you see when you are out to dinner you are either related to or you have known since you were born. Due to the involvement in the arts and the family-like quality of Elizabeth City, I try and stay as involved
“What significant moment has defined me?” Well, I believe that there were instances that may be significant in my life but it didn’t define me or vice versa. There were also instances where it was neither significant nor it defined me as an individual. These realizations led me to think, “Are there any instances when it was both significant and at the same time it also defined me?” Yes, indeed, there have been multiple instances/moments that formed a big picture.

In today’s society, a person can make a single decision, which can positively and negatively affect their family, employer, co-workers and/or even the entire world. That said, the life we as individuals lead reflects the strength of a single trait and that is our personal character. Though personal ethics vary from person to person; people want to be known as a good person, someone who can be trusted and who is concerned about his or her relationships and personal reputations.
