If I could back in time and be someone in history, I would choose to be Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks to me is one the most important women figures in history. She was an African American woman who fought against whites for colored people’s rights. I would of like to be in Rosa Parks position when she was asked to give her seat to a white man so I could see what it felt like when she refused to give up her seat. I believe Rosa Parks is someone everyone should look up to as an example. What she did was courageous, no one ever thought someone would do that especially a women. I see Rosa Parks as a strong leader who always had the hope that one day colored people will have rights and later on achieved it.

If I had the responsibility to decide where $1 million should be spent to improve conditions somewhere in the world I would choose to create projects such as bringing clean water, taking food, and collecting shoes and clothes. People in places like Mozambique have diseases such as malaria due to water contamination. Since the only water they can use come from rivers many wash their clothes and bathe in the water the people of Mozambique drink.  Taking food to places where thousands of kids are dying of hunger would be another project that I would put into action. The last project I mentioned I would create would be to take clothes and shoes to other places .In many parts of the world many people have to walk barefoot in different types of lands. Many people have to go through the winter without any blankets or clothes to warm them from bizarre weather conditions. This is why with $1 million I would put together these projects.

The color red is a color that stands out from the rest. The color read can be used to describe many positive many positive and negative things. Red is the color that stands for passion. Red can signal something hot, imagine placing your hands over a flame that warm sensation. Red is the color of Love, it is sweet, kind, but watch out because it can hurt you. Red is the sign for stop, in a stoplight it makes you know when to stop. Red can signal emergency, the color of the light on an ambulance signals that something is wrong.

A quote that I believe describes me is “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” This quote can be found in the Bible, in James 1:5. I believe this quote describes me because everything that I have done in school and the choices I have made in life, are because of this quote, that I recite before doing anything. For example, when I take tests or do a challenging homework I repeat these words in my mind before I begin to know that I will be doing excellent with the wisdom that God will be granting me. Also, when I am about to make a life-changing decision, I say this quote in my mind so that I will make the right and most smart decision there is. Everything that I’ve done and to where I am now in life, is because of these words that I say. These words are the ones that give me strength and wisdom to do everything. This quote is the quote that describes me.

You can see competition in every aspect of society. Competition can be seen among children all the way to adults. Competition in a way is good, but it can get to a point where it can also be healthy. At school we can see competition every day, for example some students try to compete to become the best athletes in school in order to obtain special scholarships to important Universities. Another way can see competition in our society is when it comes to admission into Universities. During this time many students become stressed to have the better grades than students in other parts of the world. Competition can also become unhealthy because it can cause rivalry between people. In my personal life I have seen competition in an unhealthy way. For example I have a cousin who does everything in a way of competing; she thinks that she has to always have the best stuff.  Now it’s to the point where she won’t even talk to me because she sees me as a rival not as a family member. You have to have a limit when it comes to competition.

I have tried to effect change in an issue of personal significance. When I see kids and teens bullying someone, I stop them and defend the person being bullied because it is malicious and brutal. People that bully, are unconscious of the serious damage they are doing to their victim. They do not realize that their actions or cruel words actually harm the victims, not just physically, but mentally too. However, I do notice the hurt they do to that person, and that is when I stop them. I tell them that what they are doing is wrong and unnecessary and they need to stop before matters get worse than they are. This is significant to me because I detest seeing others take advantage of someone and mock them. The kids that take advantage are no one and not perfect, to be bullying others. I have tried to effect change in this issue, and will continue to do so, because I believe no one deserves to be mistreated my others.

"Jasyah! Wake up! It is 8 already.” Alarmed, I wake up and remember it is Sunday. Sunday mornings equal church. At the thought of this, I jump out the bed and quickly search for my outfit to church; grey dress, black nylons, and black heels. After the search, I take my dress over to my mom so she can iron it and sprint to the restroom to brush my teeth. Next, I grab a towel and get in the shower. 20 minutes later I am out the shower ready to put my dress and nylons on. Then, I clutch my brush and begin to untangle the knots in my hair while I am also looking for the blow dryer. When I find the blow dryer, I blow dry my hair and comb it again to calm the wildness of my hair. Next, I plug in the hair curler and allow it to heat up. 5 minutes later I begin to, piece by piece, curl my hair. What a nuisance to do my whole hair, but I have to do it. After finishing my hair, I grab my heels and put them on. I snatch my perfume and spray it over my neck to have a pleasant aroma. Finally, I am ready for a splendid day at church!
