Lebanon Lebanon, a nation that once proudly called itself the Switzerland of the Middle East, is today a country in name only.

Empires, around 400 BCE. Phoenicia is an ancient region lying on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The Empire peaked at around 1000 BCE, and developed until around 700 BCE.

When I first heard “Quality World,” I thought of everybody having equal right and of civil rights. That was until I found out about a man by the name of William Glasser an American psychiatrist. Glasser, he developed the “choice theory” also known as “quality world”. Which basically says that since you were young have always had an idea of what would make your life perfect and understand what is important to you. So when I visualize my Quality world I see myself seven or nine years in the future

Sigmund Freud, the originator of psychoanalysis, once stated the following: “The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is ‘What does a woman want?’ In the three works we studied in class I believe that that all the stories have the different answers to this question. In Medea, the Wife of Bath, and Emilia I believe that there are three different answer they would give to this question
When people ask me about my interests, I’m usually unsure of what to say. I find it difficult to define myself in broad terms and generalities akin to ‘interests’. I usually like specific things and not generalities. Similarly I find it difficult to define myself. Who I am on the outside and who I am on the inside are intertwined through my race and yet still do not dictate one another.

I went to a small public high school, which has only 2 Chinese students, including me. All of a sudden my world is completely changed, nothing from my old days is left, and I’m totally not ready for that. I got so homesick, I began to miss everything about China, people, food, and of course, language. That’s probably the reason why
