September 23‚ 2008 My Personal experiences with Racism Racism has always been a big topic in society‚ even during Jesus Christ time.

Racism has to do a lot with social status‚ money‚ power‚ looks‚ sex and much more. Coming from a third world country I can really see the major differences of racism how they vary by culture and education. My experience in the United States

Essay #1 9 July‚ 2013 My School Experience Throughout my life I have always struggled with school. You could say it’s because I have ADHD.

My first impression of what qualities leadership entails was belief in oneself‚ initiative to action‚ outspokenness‚ moral rights‚ the ability to lead by example‚ and humility. Also‚ a leader has to have total confidence‚ but over the past few months. I discovered a lot more than all those qualities and that it takes a lot more to become a good leader.
