Assignment#15 Multiple intelligence essay

    


bible.jpg
      Once upon a time there was a couple who was able to have only one child, which was a boy. The couple spoiled this child with love and everything he pleased. He was an academic child. He had very good grades all throughout his years of being in school. The year of being a senior finally came. The son asked his father one day for a car of the day of his graduation. His words were “Dad I believe I deserve a car for graduation. I have always had good grades.” The day of graduation the father called him into his library/office. He said “Son here is your present, but close your eyes and extend your hands out.” The boy did as his father said. The boy was anxious to feel the keys in his hands but suddenly he felt something with a bit of weight and rectangular in his hands. So he opened his eyes he saw it was a bible. As his father was saying congratulations the boy stared yelling at his father saying “All the money you have and you give me this?” The boy left furiously and slammed the door behind him. A year passes by with the boy having no communication what so ever with his father. Finally the day came, his father had passed away. After the funeral the boy went to his fathers home and went into his father’s library/office. The boy went through his fathers belongings as he came upon the same bible that his father gave him and he through it. As he picked it up he noticed there was something different of this bible, something he hadn’t noticed in any other bible. When he opened it he noticed there was a little compartment in it. And in that compartment was the keys of the brand new car the son had asked for, with a little note saying “Congratulations son you have came a long way. The keys are for the car that will drive you in the city and take you to places, and the bible is to get you through life and take you to places you’d like to be in your life.

Assignment #9: Alien Contact



   One summer evening as I was walking from the park in return to my house I encountered this young guy of my age with a weird looking hat. As I was walking past him i stopped by to greet him. "Hello there human girl' he responded. My sister and i giggled and just kept on our way home. When we arrived we told our mother of our little encounter with this guy that we had thought he was weird. Our mother encouraged us to be polite and welcome him to the block. Her words were as said "You should both talk to him, he must be new to this part of town and must feel out of place". We knew that if we did not do as mother said we would have to do it with her taking us by the hand. Who would want to do that? Besides the guys was not that bad looking.
  The next day on our way to the park we stopped by our new neighbor's house to invite him to the park with us so we could get to know him better. He must have been really bored because he accepted imidiately. We sat at a picnic table trying to make conversation with him for a little over an hour. When it came to be sunset he said he was sorry but he had to leave, and as he did he said he left in such a dash. He seemed to have this speed of a sports car within seconds.
   When we got home we told our mother all the information he had given us such as where he was from and such things like that. He told us he was from England and his name was Oliver, he was 15years of age but seemed to be 18years. What had left us pondering was how fast he was able to run.
    The whole month we spent accompanied by Oliver. It has seemed to us that England was really behind in many things because we taught Oliver everything there is to be and American. The sports we played them all the foods we tasted all. We had became best of friends. It was a little odd though that he never seemed to have interest in other young girls even if he did attract all of them, and he was never able to be out after dark we had guessed his parents were just really strict with that. We met his parents there was something odd with them too but we hadn't been able to figure out what it was exactly. They never accepted our invites to dinner nor did they never invite us.
   One day we had gone to knock on the door but as we walked closer to the door we noticed it was open. We walked in but the house was empty. Out of the corner of my eye i had noticed something. It was a letter from Oliver. It stated
"Dear crystal and angelica, I greatly appreciate your warm welcome to my presence here in Albuquerque. Though i am very sorry for not being truthful towards you. My name is Oliver I am a teenager but not exactly a teenage boy more like a teenage alien boy from outer space not England. I Love the way you humans live but i had to go back to my planet. Earth was in danger if i and my parents did not return back. You two were great human friends. I am going to miss playing what you two called soccer. I was always afraid of you finding out the truth and disliking me. During sunset i hid from you both because i turn into my natural alien form at night. I thank you for everything friends.
PS: I may go back and visit soon....i will also try to get in touch with you both in some way.

Assignment 11: The Concrete Rose

   

 Tupac shakur 's poem has some very strong powerful words. He talks about how him doing something positive of his life, was no help to others. Everybody thinks that for in order for a flower to grow their must be soil. But in tupac's case tupac's mother was not able to live for long to plant that soil in him. The concrete being nothing and the crack is a opening  an oppertunity to become somebody just as he did. Nobody believes in a young person specially coming from the ghetto. Tupac's desire and derive to become somebody he did it on his own with out anybodies help. Everybody can take a piece of this well written wisdom and apply it to their life.
   Tupac was a gangster. Many people saw him as a bad influence to others and children. I guess that's a natural thing to do; blame artists and television for what the parents should be blamed for. For example when a kid would end up shooting somebody they would say oh they must listen to tupac and big e (rappers). Many people blame many things on everything else when it is a negative outcome. When rappers do speak of what they believe in or how they got to be successful people dont think of that being an influence but it is. Those strong words said in that poem help bring many children's selfasteem up and the passion to do something good begins to grow in their hearts and mind.
    Most of rappers dont just rap about girls and killing. Their are some songs that do rap about to never lose hope and become what ever you want of life. Society turns their back on many people from the ghetto. They never stop to think that many people are there in the because there parents brought them up there and their parents made them grow up there. It is just a chain and it takes a little bit of hope to break it. But how is that possible if not one person believes in you. When those that are in the ghetto able to get out and do something of their life society just acts if they help them but those that cant get out of that way of living they just look and treat them as they were stray dogs in the street.
    Tupac has influenced many of us but in a way telling us to never lose hope nor faith because thats all we need in life to do something good. Though his soul may rest in peace; Tupac's legend and music is still alive and will be living for a very long time. Just as tupac influenced many of us so has many idols have to. Included in that is our very own President Obama. Never lose hope nor faith because it helps you find the derive to make something impossible possible. No matter where anybodies from we all need a little of motivation to keep on going. It is important to keep you head up, get back up when on the ground and just brush off the dirt because the path is still there and it is time for you to take control of it and make it go in your favor.

Assignment #10: Bullying

   

   You can find bullies all over this world. It has been going on since the first English man owned the very first slave. Many do it because it makes them feel better about their own lives. All the children i think have been bullied once or twice in their life time. Not necessarily been pushed around but been brought down by words or have been humiliated. Everybody gets bullied for many reasons like if you're poor, you have a very different sense of style, you talk different, your skin color is not like the others, your race or religion is not like the bully. Both genders boys and girls get bullied or also both genders become bullies.
   Many are bullies to feel good about how they are. Many are unhappy children and that is why they treat others as they feel. Though it is not the correct thing to do they tend to take their anger out on the victims repeated times if they see they are defenseless? Many don't care about the victim is feeling nor how he or she is affected by it. The bully just gets this sickening pleasure from the pain they bring upon the victims without showing any bit of remorse. The bully never stops to think What if it was me the one being bullied and what if it was me with all that pain.
  The families of the victims are affected by it because who would like to see their child hurt that way? Some families go somewhat through the pain the victim goes through because they see the pain and they also feel defenseless. Many don't lose hope and they just think the bully will get tired of torturing the victim and finally get bored but many don't and that's when something tragic happens. Many families lose their family members because they did not want to face the fact that that was something actually going on.
   The victim goes through the most pain of course because he or she doesn't just get pushed around they get called names by many children given by the bully. Many victims get sexually abused some way. Most of the victims commit suicide thinking that is the only way out. Many authorities tend to just ignore the fact that that is happening in that school. Many victims run away from home to get away from that. Many victims also move school districts to feel safer. One of the bad things going on right now is since technology is so popular now everybody spreads rumors or even pictures through the internet humiliating the victims even more. The worst thing about being bullied is that the victims can get P.T.S.D., because they do have to live with it all their life.
    Being bullied is not the best thing to have happened to anyone. If in need of help always seek help in any way you can. Life is too beautiful to be taken away by yourself just because kids are too immature. If you are bulling others just put yourself in their shoes and try to feel a little bit of what you are doing to them. Get into sports and get all that anger out of your system. Love yourself and except others for who they are.

Assignment #8: The Necklace

   

The story "The Necklace" was an interesting one. One can learn many things from it one being that you should except who you are and be happy with our self. why try to be something your not. You dont always have to fit in with the others just be yourself. Another of the things this story teaches you is that you shouldn't be menipulating others to get what you want and always say the truth.
   God put you on this earth the way you are for his reasons. it is important to except it just how poor or rich you are. Trying to be somebody else is jsut being fake and who wouldnt want to be seen or known as the one who always kept it really instead of the plastic one from all the others
   Many times one lie turns into two then to three on so on. It is important to say the truth because it might get you out of a little bit of trouble. When you lie it will eventually blow up on you and it will be worse. When a lie is never out on the open then it will live in your conciouns forever and you will never be able to be comfortable again nor live in peace and carma will come back and bite you in the butt and three times worse than what you did.
   Love yourself for who you are and where you came from because it will always be with you whether you like it or dont like it. love your life because you are not here to fit in or have what others have because there might be something you have that they would like. Always say the truth though one might get mad. When you lie the truth will eventually come out for every to see.

Assignment 7: My Self-Value

   

   Self value is something really important. Most of the people always tend to think it is mainly about what religion you practice, but really it has to do with how good you feel about yourself and others around you. Many parents have showed you to have that self value because they don't want others to be talking about their little girl nor wanting others to be looking at their family as the bad ones. But then again there are those parents who teach their children self value because they know how good it is to feel good about yourself without having to look in the mirror and pity yourself.
     In some ways it is ones religion helping one out to find self value. Though i may not know the exact words but what i know is that in one of the 10 commandments it states that one should not envy nor be jealous of what others have and what you don't have. To my knowledge and belief God made everybody how they are for a reason. If you ask god will always provide but you also have to be thankful to the greatest extent. It is not good to always just want and want and never be able to give.
     I do understand that many people may be in misery and may want a different life or different parents or etc...but if you spend time always wasting your time just wanting other things or just talking about others because you want what they have then you won't be able to get what you want. Instead those who are jealous should put all that energy in achieving their goals to feel better about themselves to be able to get what they are jealous of. If one is jealous because they can't find their love of their life, just is patient because there are many people to meet and many places to see so the time will come around.
    My belief is that jealousy can become somewhat of a psychological sickness. When one is jealous sometimes it becomes so strong that one can commit a crime or even hurt the ones  you love when you least expect it. Many times jealousy becomes hatred and it becomes that much more dangerous. If one does not have any insecurities then there is no reason for hate nor jealousy. Many siblings become jealous of the attention given to them and end up growing up with hate in their heart and never forgive them.
    I think everybody should love themselves how they are because we are all brought upon on this earth how we are for a reason. Whatever doesn't break us nor kill us it makes us stronger and better. Instead of envying what others have congratulated them and let them know you are happy for them. When you feel good about what you have and how you are then you could start to feel good about others. If you use to be jealous or be hater before don't feel bad because it is the past but know that you have to know how to hate before you can learn what love is.
