In the summer leading up to my first semester in college‚ my expectations were high. I assumed that all I had to do was study‚ attend my classes and I would breeze through the courses with ease. As I predicted‚ I began the fall semester effortlessly and my confidence was higher than before. As a student in the Honors College‚ I was presented with a mass amount of opportunities that I found it impossible to isolate myself from others which I always had a tendency to do. I began to participate in several

ver the course of my life‚ just as anyone else‚ I have had countless injuries. Most were minuscule‚ but a few have been extremely drastic. Out of all of them though‚ having broken both of my arms tops the charts. Although not having broken them at the same time‚ after these experiences I have acted in a cautious manner lest I repeat history. When I was three I was adventurous‚ to the point that I would perform very dangerous activities. My favorite “activity” was to jump over the couch. As you can

Looking back‚ I was introduced to my first masculine activity when I turned four. At this young age‚ my Dad signed me up for Kung Fu. My Dad thought it was proper because I was a boy. On the other hand‚ my sister who is hardly younger than me‚ was never introduced to Kung Fu because she was a girl. While practicing Kung Fu in an all-boys class‚ I was encouraged to get excited about fighting. As a child‚ I loved anything that had to do with action‚ whether it be watching Power Rangers on television

This is my first math autobiography. I have sat here reminiscing about my math experiences. For starters math has not been my favorite or strongest subject. Many years I have struggle with it. It seems like when my teachers would start to talk about math I would cringe at the thought of it. Never liked math. Always would say what does math have to do with my job or the job I’m getting? What’s the need of it? Not going to use it that much. But little did I know I will use it the rest of my life.

before the day I had my own. I’d heard stories of a mother that gives her life to save her child’s. I’d seen that kind love expressed by my own mother everyday. I guess‚ I never thought it to be much different then the love a person feels for any other immediate family member. Boy‚ was I wrong. It’s not that I don’t love my other family unconditionally and entirely‚ but a mother’s love is undoubtably incomparable to any other. October‚ 20‚ 2009 was the day I had my first child.
