The experience that has given me the biggest sense of ‘Firebird Pride’ is my time in National Honor Society. I truly enjoy giving back to the community and school that has given me so much. Through working with students my own age to senior citizens to citizens of Dayton in homeless shelters, I have realized how blessed I am to have all of the opportunities that have arisen during my high school career. I am a stronger leader, a better community member, and a more patient and understanding person because of the service I have provided throughout my time in NHS. Through the tutoring hours put into this group, I have formed bonds with students I never would have otherwise been around and the relationships with these kids and their parents have made me feel like I have had my own impact on the community.
Although she was raised in an Orthodox Jewish family, she married a black man, and then went on the raise all her children as Christians. Although facing adversity for these reasons, James McBride and his siblings still became successful, mostly because of the strength his mother provided for his family. All of the McBride children were put through college by his mother, even though they often struggled with finances. McBride tells how certain events in his everyday life and his background shaped and molded him into who he is today. I believe that in writing this book, McBride is establishing the fact that he is very proud of his success and how his mother was key in helping him accomplish it, but most of all, proud of his mother for being who she was.
In addition, every Saturday she attended a community college to tutor kids with special needs. Gloria loved working with these kids, and making them feel better about themselves, she was willing to help out in any way that she could. In like fashion to being caring, Gloria was also very intelligent. I went to her house one day and was just astonished by her collection of books; she basically had
Sherladrein Harris After seeing Food Inc it left me in shock. Seeing how animals are treated just so people can eat. The thing that stood out to me the most was the fact that you could even die from eating meat that comes from unhealthy animal. What frightened me the most was seeing what happened to Kevin – his death. Many people in the world eat meat – such as hamburgers- for lunch and dinner every day, yet I have never heard of someone dying from food poisoning.

I lived in my elder sisters hand-me-downs for many years. This has taught me, not only the value of money and material items, but also how to be patient. I can now employ patience within my work place, and can understand why life might be financially challenging for some of the elderly people that I look after. I was always considered as being a bit of a 'soft touch' when I was younger, constantly letting others have their way. In my older life, and particularly within my job role, this has taught me that I can be emphatic and sympathetic towards people.

We gather around, eating, opening gifts, talking and laughing. It may seem so simple, but I am always anxious for each upcoming holiday or celebration, because I cannot wait to spend the quality time with those I love.

I learned humility through life struggles that have shown me that people who are arrogant and boastful aren’t really liked. I am a caring person I care for everyone and want to see the best out of everyone. If there is anything I can do to help someone be a better person than they already are I will do so. Caring for other people just seems to come natural to me. I learned to stay strong and never allow my fear to limit me.
