I am Hanisah. I was born on May 12, 1997 which means I am 19 this year. I am an international student from Malaysia. If you know nothing about Malaysia, let me tell you some facts. Malaysia is one of the Southeast Asia countries. We had hot weather throughout the year. That’s why I have never see a snow before. My father’s name is Mohamed Haris. He is a veterinary officer while my mother is a mathematics teacher. Her name is Norlela. I’m the first child in my family of four siblings and we’re all girls. Their names are Hazwani, Hanani, and Hani Aina. I have no brother which I think it as unique and great especially when my friends keep complaining about their brothers while I live happily and harmony with my sisters. I love variety of arts; creative writing, digital art and music. I do them as hobbies to spend my leisure time. I spend most of my time writing stories on Wattpad. Unfortunately, those stories were only in Malay language. I really want to write story in English, but I still have no confidence to do so. I may do someday when my English get better. I enjoy reading novel because I think a novel is a beautiful art form, especially when the writer has a unique style of writing. I also do digital art as my hobby. I have lots of photo editor application in my tablet for designing and …show more content…
Like my mother, she is good in culinary art. I believe she is a talented chef since she is my mother unofficial cooking teacher. I honestly love her homemade food compared to my mother’s homemade food but I almost forget how her food taste since she is now old and too weak to cook. There is another art that she is good at, which I called massaging art. The reason I call massaging as an art is because there are different massaging ways in Malaysia. When I was a kid, my mother always asks my grandmother to massage my sisters and me every time we caught a fever. Like a miracle, we usually get better after
When my family and I could feel the warm fine sand, the gentle cool breeze, witness the crystal clear aquamarine ocean and swaying palm trees, and smell the sweet fragrant scent of plumerias, we must have gone to heaven. The enchanting beauty of this Hawaiian island, Maui, gives us a sense of warmth, peace, and serenity. In search of paradise, we explore the infamous Road to Hana, snorkel with underwater marine life, and journey back in time to experience the true customs, traditional cuisine and the original song, music and dance of Hawaii at a luau.
Throughout the novels of Naguib Mahfouz' Cairo Trilogy, the most noticeable element is the progression of time. In tracing the lives of three generations of the Abd al-Jawad family, Mahfouz manages to structure a chronicle of Egypt during his lifetime that describes not only the lives of the family but the social, political and philosophical change of the entire nation. While it is dangerous to read only for social analysis in Mahfouz' essentially artistic work, the changes in Egypt during the novel make its characters' relationships to a shifting Egypt clear. The character of Kamal is a very intriguing part of this depiction because of his similarity to Mahfouz and the consequent illustration of the changes which seem to have impacted Mahfouz most personally. Kamal can be seen as an essentially autobiographical character as well as a type representing Egyptian philosophical involvement and change between the two World Wars.
Since I was six years old, my parents decided to divorce. I was shocked because we were six siblings. After divorcing, I lived with my father and he could not bear responsibility for my siblings and I. I was the biggest concern for him because I have twins and he could not be able to take care about two children who have same age. My oldest sister decided to take care of me and she became my mother. She helped me a lot and she became everything for me. Some days, I got some annoyance from my relatives. They
The town of Matewan, West Virginia was my home for a majority of my life. I grew up there, I was taught there, and I learned how to mine there. My family consisted of my father, Patrick O’Reilly, my mother, Ennis O’Reilly, and me, Bobby O’Reilly, or just Bob for short. In my earliest of memories in Matewan, I could remember my father leaving in the mornings to serve his shift in the mine like all the other men in the town. My father was a great man of humble upbringings, and I will always remember what he used to tell me every night he got home from his shift, “Bobby, Let us sacrifice our today so that our children can have a better tomorrow.” Today, when I look back at what my father told me, I see it as a testament of his love for his family and his desire that I achieve greatness in my life. I believe that’s what made my father a great man, and until his fateful day on September 29, 1917, I thought that he was invincible. My mother, Ennis, was a magnificent yet rowdy women, and I remember how she used to speak profanities about the mines when I was little. My mother always felt that my father was being taken advantage of down in those mines, and she would let my father have it every

The Arapesh are known to be gentle, sensitive to others, and cooperative. In class, they were described as friendly and supportive as well as trusting. An example used was of a child running the perimeter of town and receiving support from every adult. They all treated this one child as their own and the atmosphere was so pure and positive. I must admit however this example lead my mind off track and into a sort of dream. With this concept I raised three questions. If these people only know the trusting world they live in, how can they travel the world? If everyone lived in this society, could there be such thing as a perfect world? Lastly, I found myself wondering if I would want to live in a world where I trusted everyone.
Creativity is the basis of humanity; it is essential for survival. Involving oneself in creativity is a gateway to expressing deep inner thoughts. Art therapy is a combination of psychology and art; its purpose is to help others feel open to communicate thoughts and emotions through art.

Furthermore, when discussing the healing of the mind, art tends to boost cognitive skills, cope depression
Most individuals say that your dreams and aspirations are due to parental influence, social connections, and particularly your personal attributes, including your own hard work and intelligence. However, I believe that it is your connections with your siblings that are more influential; they shape your sense of self, your identity, your skill sets, and ultimately your life choices. Growing up the only girl out of three brothers was very interesting, since they were boys they would always leave me out of things so I was struck to my own devices. Being left alone to play I found myself gravitating to reading and analyzing things. Occasionally, I would bicker with my brothers and they would joke that I should be a lawyer because of how much I
In August 14, 1983 I was born in Fresno, California. My family consists of my parents Xao Chang and Mao Yang, three sisters Youa, Yer and Vicky, and three brothers Bee, Davis and Doua. My parents would often tell me their stories of living in Laos before they immigrated to the United States in the late 1970s as Hmong refugees after the Secret War against the Pathet Lao.
My present interest in art is more graphic/typography based, although I do enjoy all areas of art. I have been designing graphics on my computers from a young age and have work published in national magazines. Not all the graphical work I do is computer based, I enjoy using traditional mediums in a clean graphical way, as I find it more satisfying working on a larger scale and producing something more "real". My current course has helped me "branch out" more; I have experimented in many disciplines successfully producing paintings, pastels and drawings, which I had never really developed fully before.
Reading and writing has always played a vital part in my life. From toddler to adult, pre-elementary to college, I’ve managed to sharpen both skills to my liking. However, even though it significantly helped, schooling was not what influenced me to continue developing those skills into talent. Many different things shaped and influenced my learning, and now reading and writing have become the safety net of my life. I know that even if I have nothing else in the future, I’ll still have my talent and knowledge. To ensure my success, I hope to further develop those skills so that I may fulfill my wishes.
I am Agila Abraham. A 17 year old senior at Glenbrook South High School. I believe that the most important thing to do is respect. For example, I come from and identify myself as a Catholic. I expect people to respect me for my religious views, and I show the same respect for their views on religion. I think being Catholic has played a huge part in my life. Growing up I had two strict Catholic parents who taught me the importance of Sunday mass and having God present in everything that I do. At times, I’ve fallen away from the practice, but somehow I always find myself grateful for having a religion to fall back on. It’s always been a foundation that has helped me build the rest of my relationships, interests and personality.
My name is Stephanie; I am an 18-year-old female. I was born and raised in Hong Kong. My family consists of me, my mother and father. Despite not having any siblings, I would say I had a very happy childhood, which was constantly filled with sporting activities. Before studying at The University of Hong Kong, I studied at West Island School, an international school that is located in the Pokfulam area as well. During my time at West Island, I undertook the International Baccalaureate. Currently, I am in the BBA programme in HKU.

In addition, I really enjoy watching television shows, my favorites would have to be Grey’s Anatomy and The
Many people grow up with a sibling, in fact eighty percent of people in the United States and Europe grow up with a brother or sister (Dunn 1). Most people can agree with the statement that growing up with siblings has impacted their development and personality. This topic has been researched by psychologist and sociologist for decades; which has provided both positive and negative outcomes of growing up with siblings. Children can benefit from growing up with siblings because they can learn from their siblings, gain social skills, and their siblings may become a valuable asset in one’s life.
The sound of the wheels from a skateboard on the pavement rattles my head. The only thing stopping the pounding noise was the slight breeze of air that flew through cooling down all the noise. Blowing through the blue curls in my hair the wind covered my ears. No worries could reach me in this moment. The excitement to get to the library kept me flying down the road. I could already imagine the smell in the air of old paperback books enveloping my nose. Getting to run my fingers over new books hard spines that hold the forever stories together.
