Self Love

I have a major theme for my mid-term project. I want people to realize that a lot of us go through trials and tribulations. But it is only temporary. The most important concept is that we must love ourselves enough to make that change to better our lives. Self love plays a part in this most definitely. You have to love yourself unconditionally in order to go through the process and succeed and live a fulfilling life. What do you think?

True Story

This is an introduction about a true story about my real life experience. I hope you like it and tell me what you think of it. The rest is going to come soon and it will be mentioned in my mid-term project.





I decided to talk about something that's close to my heart. This writing class has brought creativity out of me that I didn't even know that I had. During my adult years, I've been told that I was a good writer, but now I'm thinking in a different way. I'm realizing that I should be more detailed with my work. And that I need to think outside the box. I even wanted to mention that my classmates and Professor has inspired me. They got me open up to talk about a hard topic that I was afraid at first to share. Everybody has a story. Let me tell you mine.n introduction for a true story that I would like to explore. Let me know what you guys think about it.

On July fourth, in Far Rockaway Beach park in Queens. It was extremely hot about 95 degrees and humid ,my family and I decided to have  a barbecue. People was everywhere and their was a variety of food. Hamburgers ,franks ,chicken , ribs, potato salad and plenty of cold beverages. While enjoying the festivities ,I noticed an older gentleman fall down to the ground ,he was shaking and trembling. I didn’t know him. His family was gathered around him and they were hysterical. I immediately went over to see what happened.  I asked everyone to step back so he could get some air. Then I instructed a couple of ladies to get some paper so we could fan him so he could get some oxygen. Someone in the crowd called for an ambulance. Once I got the paper we started to fan him and he begin to gain consciousness.  I told them to continue fanning him. I then asked him his name and birthday to see if he was alert and aware of his surroundings. He responded to my questions. His family was so happy they thanked me. I was very proud of myself that I helped someone in time of need. The family waited for the ambulance to arrive. My family and I left the park to go home. My older brother say to me you did a great job. I responded thank you

There was someone interviewed that knew a guy who was part of the Aum, when they interviewed him, he wrote about how he was in his girlfriend's company, and how he worked, he gives details on how he became close to his boss, which is his girlfriend dad. When he got attacked by the gas, when he went to the hospital, he saw the true feelings of his girlfriend, his relationship became better, they were able to see each other as one another. Also when they saw the TV, they showed the whole organization and he noticed that there was a guy he knew. Then he realized it was someone from high school, it ended up being a guy who he never liked because he was weird. It turns out that he talked to an old friend who was friends with this guy, and he ends up telling him that the guy from television is the same weirdo he met in high school. Art last he was thinking about the situation he was in, and he believes that people don’t have the courage to help when someone is in danger. If it wasn't from his colleagues at work who had taken him to the hospital, he says that maybe he would have died. His reactions felt almost the same as the other interviews because he felt dizzy, he couldn't see and he couldn’t even stay still.

Cults 2

In what ways do you think they're similar to other violent extremists (white nationalists or Muslim terrorist organizations) and in what ways are they different?

I would say that they are similar to violent extremists are they alienate their members and the leader has total control over their lives. The idea that they are a "special" group with a secret agenda shared is one of the steps towards extremism. I don't think they are very different since they end up in the same ending with a violent incident like the bombing.

 Well, actually I think most cults are about giving money to the leaders and escaping government regulations. I feel like the members don't realize until it's too late and by then nothing can change it. 

Cults 1

What makes them different than us?

It sounds strange too but I read a book about cults because someone tried to convince me to join a Buddist cult. I went to a "meeting" it was just meditating and had a huge photo of the leader in the front for 7-8 hours. Like how the leader would solve all their problems in life but you know donating money to a stranger isn't what I call enlightening. It wasn't about Buddism as much it was some psuedo-religion that made members donate money and time for it.

Most of the people looked average like the people who stand next to the pamphlets on the subway. I always avoided them since they were always creepy. I feel like cult gave them a hobby or common interest than I guess going to tennis lessons. The entire experience made me avoid groups in particular since I really want to avoid cults in the future.
