Spanish Honors Society club has been the most important to me because being able to be part of the program has allowed me to be more in touch why my Hispanic roots, yet also work towards obtaining my Spanish Honors Society sash for graduation. To obtain this will not only open up more opportunities in the future, yet make my family proud.
On the other hand, Anime club has been the most meaningful to me because I've been a part of the club since I started high school. It has not only allowed me to meet individuals with the same interests and likes, but the club has helped me become a more social and confident with myself and others. Being able to be part of a group where everyone expresses their own individual thoughts and more relating

    There is no doubt there are egotistical, self-absorbed people in today’s society. Their personal choices are made through the idea of benefiting just themselves. Now, there are charitable individuals in this world that drive, not just themselves, but everyone around them to a happier state in life, even if that means making sacrifices. Sacrifice is the ability to give up something with the intention of it resulting for the greater good. If everyone in this world conducts sacrifices on the daily, there would eventually be nothing to sacrifice for. Unfortunately, that would never happen, prompting more people, like my parents, to make all these sacrifices.…

    To me, the most vital part of my identity as Hispanic is being proud of my culture. Being Hispanic means that you are indeed in the minority and often questioned or judged about the customs of your race. There is no shame in the Hispanic culture because it stands out in this country and creates a more festive and diverse nation. To abhor your culture simply to assimilate or pretend for your own satisfaction that you belong is equally as abhorring your parents and family. It is abhorring who you are. To me it is a great blessing to be able to share my culture because in the world we live today it is even more important to allow others be accustomed to different cultures in order for them to respect those of different…

    One day in seventh grade something wondrous occurred to me. At the end of the school day I was packing my belongings that I would need when I materialized at my house. Though while I was preoccupied, I espied something in my mailbox with my eyes suddenly. In matter of that fact, I decided to walk over to it. I slipped my hand through it and then grasped a letter. In result, my body very slowly went to my seat and I opened it. I couldn’t believe my eyes! I was accepted into the National Junior Honor Society. I was so thrilled that I was going ditzy with my adrenaline rising, at least in a fine way. I started cavorting up and down. My body could not stop jumping,vibrating with joy or talking about my news. So I told all of my friends in my class…

    When I was a National Honor Society Member at my High School, we were able to work with a program called VIP Soccer in which volunteers played with and taught special needs children the game of soccer. It was actually my favorite event within our organization especially when we got to see how happy each child was and the smiles on their parents’ faces when they saw that their son or daughter was having fun. Eventually, I was so inspired by this movement that I actually started a similar program but at my local golf club. How I got this started was actually by meeting the owner of the golf club, and the parents of my teammates on my school golf team. After a couple of months of planning and talking to more interested volunteers, I was finally…

    The Boys and Girls Club of America helps thousands of Americans each year as a daycare, escape from home, way to meet new friends or to eat a sustainable meal that they wouldn’t be able to get at home. Another way that the Boys and Girls Club benefits kids is by having organized sports where the players can develop competitiveness, teamwork and become coachable. As someone who volunteers at the Boys and Girls Club I am able to experience all of the good that goes on both within and outside of business hours. As I wrap up my high school career and go on to the next stage in my life I often find myself looking back at not only those who helped shaped me into the person I am today but also the extracurricular activities I participated in. The Boys and Girls Club is one thing that continually pops into my head with the activities I partook in as well as the children and adults alike, without these experiences I would not have devolved my love for basketball, been so willing to give back to the community, or have been showed the do’s and don’ts of parenting.…

    Growing up in a community that is mostly Hispanic creates a type of shield, not allowing for different cultures or ethnicity to diversify the community. A Hispanic family living in such an isolated community takes a toll on the way we view the world. This environment has indulged my curiosity. Being the second youngest sibling of my family of seven has allowed me to learn from my older brothers, and have the privilege to be a leader to my little brother and serve as a role model to him. Though none of my family members went to college, and my parent’s highest education being a high school diploma, it hasn’t discouraged me to follow their footsteps, but rather give the encouragement to dedicate myself to be the first generation and in my whole…

    Although my household is Spanish speaking, my parents were not able to get an advanced educations so as to teach me how to properly write in Spanish. So when we began working on this project, I was incredibly self conscious and afraid that it would not be as great as my other writing. It’s incredibly obvious when I write in Spanish that my dominant tongue is English. But to my surprise, my teacher was actually very impressed in how I did on the project. It was of course not perfect, but it helped me realize that there was no reason to be so doubtful in my writing. It was a lot of fun being able to experiment with a language that I have lived with for so long. I have never written creatively in Spanish, and found it challenging but also very…

    I was born in a small town of El Salvador and I came to the US when I was seven years old. I lived and grew up in Los Angeles with my mom who provided for us by working from dawn to dusk in the many textile mill sweatshops around the city.

    The book Being and Place Among the Tlingit, by Thomas F. Thornton, illustrates how the Tlingit people regard the view of place with their language, rituals, social organizations, and their economy. Thornton defines four cultural structures that link people to a place. They are comprised of language and cognitive structures, social organization, material production, and ritual processes. These are all catalysts for how these indigenous people ultimately define themselves and can show their respect for their society. Along with that, the idea of space is divided into three dimensions: space, time, and experience. These three concepts serve to exemplify the importance of their culture and their natural environment. With that in mind, over time they can begin to develop a sense for their place, being and identity. Thornton (2007) concludes chapter two saying: “With this technology one can find an answer not only to the question, Where am I? But also to the equally critical question in Tlingit, How do I belong to this place?” For example their names, lineages, and clans all intertwine in different ways because they signify the importance for their beliefs and values towards their place. By exploring the idea of patterns and similarities within the place-names people can distinguish more about a place and its significance. Place-names also serve as a connection between the physical and social landscapes. According to Thornton (2007) place-names serve “both as a universal domain of human knowledge and as a particular culture system of meanings.”…

    Girl Scouts has been the most important activity to me because I have been in a troop with the same girls for seven years. Over the years, they have become some of my best friends.

For example, when I turned in my final report for gold project, they took me out for ice cream to celebrate my accomplishment. I also learned different skills from the volunteer projects and selling Girl Scouts cookies, such as money management, responsibility and leadership abilities which will help me in my search for the right college and job.…
