The excursion of the first year of the art history bachelor always goes to Paris. At first I wasn't happy that I was placed in the parks and gardens group, until of course I thought about Versailles! We had a whole day to visit Versailles and we needed it. We walked so much that I was literally limping at the end of the day. I guess sometimes you have to make sacrifices to see beautiful things.…

Wow, this quote from, Ethno Autobiography, written by Jürgen Werner Kremer and R Jackson-Paton really stood out to me in such an enlightening way. I related to this statement because, I feel, that many people whom are, WEIRD, do tend to look upon other peers this way. These types of people don’t take the time to understand someone, get to know them on a personal level – what they have been through, where they lived, defining moments that they have had and finding out their long term and short term endeavors. For instance, one thing that I can relate this to is college applications. Therefore, due to the overpopulated college system we have in place there is no time to holistically get to know a single student, so that’s why doing an analytical…
Memoir Analysis: Devil in the Details by J. Traig Mental Illness According to DSM-5 (2017), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by repeated and persistent thoughts called obsessions, which are experienced as imposed and inappropriate and which cause intense feelings of anxiety and discomfort. In order to reduce the anxiety caused by obsessive thoughts, the person with OCD performs repetitive behaviors called compulsions. Most often those two symptoms present together although obsessive thoughts without compulsions may exist , but more likely there will be multiple obsessions with corresponding compulsions. DSM-5 (2017) provides several diagnostic criteria for OCD, the first one being “Presence of obsessions, compulsions,…
Pow! Right smack in my forehead crushing my skull. The metal baseball bat knocked in my skull. It was a warm sunny day in the middle of the summer. Joey, my brother, was hitting tennis balls over my house. Little 10 year old me was playing in the yard and my brother purposely pushed me far away so he wouldn’t hit me. Oh how I was a stupid little kid. I was intrigued by what he was doing so I started wandering over to like how not knowing little kids do. As I approached my brother he was so focused on himself that he did not see me. When I finally reached him he had just set up to hit another ball. He hits the ball, but on his back rotation, the bat makes contact with my head. I fell hard on the pavement. Before I went unconscious I heard my…
First off, trip to Vietnam was truly a blessing. I did not expect so much of the trip until the first day I arrived Vietnam. On my first day, I got an opportunity to meet many great people who were selfless; those who cared more about others rather than themselves. It took approximately 14hours in total to arrive at hotel. Even though the plane ride was only about 5hours, since it was a group trip, it took extra time to ensure everyone is in right place. Despite the exhaustion and drowsiness, no one complained but encouraged others. I was already touched by grace of God before we even began our mission trip. On the second day, I volunteered for the medical service. There were two activities including the medical service, and house painting…
As a first generation student coming from a family originating from Chihuahua, Mexico, the pressure has always been at an all time high to succeed. Rather than grow and depart from my roots of Chihuahua, I've decided to embrace and further educate myself on those roots. My family and ancestry comes from a small city named Santa Barbara in the state of Chihuahua. As a child growing up in California I wasn't very in touch with those small town roots.

In March 2011, I took a few days of classes and received my hunting education certification. Looking back, the actual class time is just a blur of what not to do, but I was reminded of them when I took drivers education last December, with the what not to do teachings. I also remember being very nervous about the test, but having a great feeling when I learned I passed. That October, I remember being immensely excited to go on my first hunt. The night before my dad and I left, I had a parent teacher conference and I remember getting some strange looks in the parking lot because we had a trailer loaded with tents, four wheelers, chairs, and a bunch of other stuff…

The first thought that comes to my head when I hear cultural beliefs I think of the things that make a person who they are. Things that people will fight for and stand up for no matter what anyone says or thinks. I, myself am not much about being outspoken, but when it comes to what I believe in and what I value, I will fight for my beliefs and values. According to our text culture is “the totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought characteristic of a community or a population”. The culture we are raised in effects our future identity and how others will perceive us. The definition of identity is "the fact of being who or what a person or thing is". I have grown up in Indiana all of my life, but I was born in Iowa. I do not consider myself to be from Iowa because I was too young to remember anything about it. Since I was six months, I have been in Indiana. When I think about my values and beliefs and I would not categorize myself as a ‘traditional’ Midwesterner. My life has and probably will always be different from others, but I know that my belief system came from me and what I think is right and wrong, not from others. I do now recognize that my culture and environment has aided in creating my identity, but I believe that I have taken the negatives, prejudices, and racism that have surrounded me since I was born and created my own set of cultural beliefs. My life has given me the opportunity to become a much-diversified person when it comes to cultural beliefs.…
