Leaving Your Parents Clueless Mission Statement

325 Words2 Pages

1. What is the title of your future memoir and why? (Remember don’t include your name!)
- The title of my future memoir would be “First Generation American Rebel: How to Leave Your Parents Clueless.” As mentioned before, my parents are both foreign, but so are my two older sisters. They moved from Egypt to America in 1997. I was born in 1998, so I was the first generation American who happened to rebel. My rebellions consisted of doing and saying things I shouldn’t, watching shows I knew weren’t made for kids, translating phrases into ways that benefitted me, and much more. The best part is that if someone was to ask my parents to describe me they would share nothing but positive qualities and memories because they’re still quite clueless.

2. What is at the top of your bucket list?
- One thing at the top of my bucket list is traveling to every continent. Unfortunately, traveling isn’t something my family does, the only place we travel to is Egypt and then right back to Virginia. That is why as soon as I’m financially able to, then I will begin traveling to each continent. Hopefully, before I die, I will have traveled to all seven.

1. The SafeRides Mission Statement (found here) means something different to every member. What does it mean to you?
- …show more content…

SafeRides has more than one purpose, it isn’t only here to drive intoxicated students and/or students who are rendered incapable of transportation. They also spread awareness and educate the community about drunk driving through events and fundraisers. Lastly, the Mission Statement also provides me with a sense of community. We are not only here to protect, provide, and educate our fellow JMU students, we are here for the whole Harrisonburg community. Everyone deserves to be cared for and SafeRides makes that clear throughout their Mission

  • Slavery And The American Revolution

    196 Words  | 1 Pages

    The American Revolution is the name for the conflict or war between the early United States and England from 1775 to 1789. However, historians believe that the war for Independence ended a lot later than 1783 as many groups of people that experienced the war first hand had a different outcome compared to another group, and it’s because of these different experiences that helped the rise of women suffrage and end of slavery in America, but the same conflict would cause men and women who were loyal to the crown to flee to Canada because of the war. Today, in 2018, we often look at the American Revolution as the birth of the United States, but how would a group of people like the Native Americans, soldiers, loyalists, and slaves see the American

    My parents came from another country and made the American culture and way of life their own like other immigrants before them. Because of this I can deal in a unique way with cultural or racial challenges or tensions.   My parents did not let their culture dictate who I am but let it be a part of who I would become.   For that I will always be grateful. I hope that in the future the percentage of Hispanics in my community grows, but my experience of being such an extreme minority in a community close to a major, modern city gives me a truly unique perspective.
