Time to share our fortunes to help the ones in need. Like the pauper who has no money, need to help them off the streets. It's time to help that child, to look into its eyes. Hungry and undernourished, to see the tears they cry. Time to help the new mother that's been deserted and abused. Extend our hands in mercy, for her path is worn and bruised.

To forgive and be forgiven, stop drowning in self pride. Time to look around us Time to reach into our hearts. Time to do what we can do. Time to make a brand new start.
...ent. I fumbled for the words to get the lesson across. But instead of reacting negatively, I was pleased to see that Anabella and Francisco and Santos – and all my other students understood. They saw that I was trying my best, and that for any positive change to occur, we, all, had to put ourselves at risk in the arena. After all, Francisco is a grandfather and he was not ashamed to come to sixteen-year-old me for help. Francisco is proud that he can now order a coffee, converse more with his employer, talk to his grandchildren. It was humbling to see how a division of age and language and lifestyle didn’t get in the way of creating a sense of community and family. And we shared in the truth of Roosevelt, a truth all of us can share. “It’s not the critic who counts. The credit belongs to those who enter the arena.” Please, ladies and gentlemen, enter with me now.
Regardless of all the differences, internment of a specific ethnicity was wrong. Adolf Hitler and the Nazis interned the Jews because of their differences and beliefs, but the Americans interned the Japanese-Americans in fear of espionage after Pearl Harbor. America’s internment camps were safer and were nothing like the Nazi concentration camps, besides the interment of a specific ethnicity. Nevertheless, both discriminated against a specific race, and both the Nazis and the Americans were in the wrong when doing so.
Seeing as how family is quite important, we eventually (T) decided that we should start with that. So we started on our journey as soon as possible. The journey was pretty much like a Ferris wheel, we went around and around in a circle. We walked and rested and walked and rested, it was like that for most of the time. But, then (T) something did happen; this something wasn’t as good as we hoped for. We stumbled upon a few people, thinking we could help them or vice versa, we stopped.
However, despite everything that I'm involved in, I manage to make time to keep up with my responsibilities, for example, practicing my flute in spare time, to pass an exam, or reading Kafka’s, The Metamorphosis, as a homework assignment. Even though all this seeming tedious, I make it work, as a result it's always a great payoff, which is why I'm so dedicated to anything I’m involved in. I intend to make my high school years count, for these few years to be the bricks that builds a strong foundation for a great future for myself and those that surround! My creativity that I offer, allows me to choose a different road from the one that's paved by the many people that previously walked upon it. The strong mindset I have, continually helped me along my journey. Sometimes when situations go for the worst, I just remember that the opportunities to come at the end is always better than the struggle to achieve it. Through all the tough assignments plus some sleepless nights I still managed to make and receive the best out of it

Over the course we have gotten a chance to find our top 5 strengths, understand multicultural awareness, stewardship and Humble Inquiry. To look at how I can put this class to better use in myself is no small task.
Before I wrote this essay, I read it silently, until I sat down and read it out loud to myself; did I fully understand some of the subtle meanings behind the words; before they were just meaningless letters arranged into meaningless words.

The past year has been a personal quest to dissect and examine various aspects, memories and situations of my life. For a couple years now, prior to starting this Master’s program, I felt that I wasn’t living my best life and that I had some feelings and memories that seemed to be holding me up. The past year has been filled with narrative therapy and lots of healing work. I believe that each of us carriers our own stories filled with triumphs, tribulations, and just mundane events; but that these stories have shaped who we are, how we interact with others, how we form and maintain relationships, and how we cope with change or hard situations. My story, like a lot of others, has some triumphs, tribulations, and a lot of mundane events. I’ll share just a few incidents in my life, which I believe to have greatly contributed to my worldview and the person I am today.
My first day at college had a great meaning to me. It was the beginning of my dream to go to college and to pursue a higher education.I had so many emotions running trough me , it was the first time being in this level and the first time paying for education myself.

The first year of my freshman year and Fall semester. That day I had so many things on my mind, from what I was going to wear to figure out where the class number and the floor it would be located at. It was actually a day full of new experiences. I had just turned 28 years old. By the time I had a full-time job in downtown, which I had to go after school. I had to find the time to study and to do homework, specially after class meetings, I was exited and scared at the same time. I noticed that the class was not the same versus the ESL and GED classes that I took at Truman. Although, it was the one I wanted to take, I was nervous because I didn’t know what to expect. However, I was impressed to see a wide diversity of student from other countries and I thought that the class would be very interesting by meeting new people. The purpose of this essay is to tell the main experiences about being in college for the first time.
