As an uncommented student I have faced a lot of academic struggle and self doubt‚ because of my immigration status‚ the limited access to resources‚ and the negative stigma undocumented individuals face.

That self doubt led to the doubt of others‚ it led to almost failing every single class‚ it led to depression‚ it almost led to suicide. Seeing all the resources my friends had access

Being A Good Father Although the essay "My Father’s Son" and the poem "my father’s son" written by the same author‚ Mel Donalson and have similar titles‚ they have different ways to express the son’s feeling of his father’s character‚ merit and devotion to his family. Both essay and poem’s main ideas center around affection and father’s commitment to his family.

Does Not Buy Happiness In Ragtime‚ a famous piece of American literature written by E.L. Doctorow‚ Father suffers the fate of being unsuccessful. It seems that Father’s character is depicted by Doctorow as an extremely ordinary upper-class American of the 1920’s. He’s conservative‚ fairly wealthy‚ sexist‚ and racist. He’s an explorer‚ an entrepreneur‚ and a patriot. Doctorow uses Father to show us that success certainly cannot be found through money‚ and for that matter‚ fitting in with the

Doctrine of God the father The essay will focus upon the first person of the trinity‚ God the Father. There is a presupposition that God is knowable‚ yet not discoverable by human reason. God is known only by divine revelation and‚ although the works of creation and Providence reveal the existence of God‚ the ultimate source of divine revelation is the Word of God.
