Personal Narrative: My Trip To Boston College

255 Words2 Pages

There are two main reasons why this trip is of interest to me. Most of my focus in my time at Boston College has been concerned with the struggle of Latinos both on campus and in the Boston community. This year I have tried to address the plight of other marginalized groups in my activism. So far I have touched on some of the intersectionality between Latinos, the LGBTQ community and the black community. Unfortunately, I was unable to put together a panel seeking to address the anti-Muslim rhetoric which has plagued our society in recent years but still would like to broaden my own understanding of Muslim culture and history. I am of the belief that all marginalized groups have to take part in each other’s struggle because only when there is solidarity can there truly be change. …show more content…

I have taken courses on other parts of the Middle East including Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq but have yet to take a course that addresses the history of this struggle. It sounds nerdy but I feel like every Political Science course I have taken at Boston College has been a piece of a larger puzzle and with each class my understanding of the region and current US policy become clearer and clearer. The issue is such an important one and I would regret not taking a course that would fill in such a large piece of the

  • Personal Narrative: Downtown College Prep

    385 Words  | 2 Pages

    Allow me to introduce myself, I am Bryan Le, a freshman that is currently attending a charter school by the name of “Downtown College Prep”. I am currently living with my parents and two younger siblings, one brother and one sister. Over my years in a public elementary school, I had seen others being happy because of one’s help and that made me feel happy inside. I then thought of ways to help others when I stumbled upon the fact that doctors help people everyday, which seemed as a great way to help many people so that they may continue to be happy in life. As I entered Downtown College Prep, I was urged by the staff to explore my options and to set a goal in life.

  • Personal Narrative: St. Joseph University

    In my freshman year, I made a choice to relinquish some of my social life and replace that time giving back to my community. I joined a non-profit organization called the Volunteer Corp. We spent our time at food banks, park clean-ups, and even hosting local events. This experience left a lasting impression on me in many ways; however, one experience changed my perspective on life and serve as a constant reminder of how the smallest contribution to others can be the most powerful. St. Joseph University, in Philadelphia, held an event called Hand in Hand. It was an event dedicated to raising awareness for people with physical and/or developmental disabilities.

  • Personal Narrative: My Journey To NC State

    I remember finding out that NC State had a summer reading book and thinking that it sounded a lot like a high school English class. I dreaded even picking up the book, so i kept making excuses and putting off reading it. August rolled around, and move-in day was quickly approaching, so I decided to take my dog to the beach one evening and read until the sun went down. The book followed the author's prodigious journey to save one mountain near his house and the Appalachian Trail. With every flip of a page I felt like there was an underlying message that was meant for me.

  • Personal Narrative: My Trip To NYU

    330 Words  | 2 Pages

    I was ten years old when I first heard about NYU. I needed braces, and my medicaid insurance required my mother take me to NYU’s College of Dentistry to determine if I was eligible for them. I remember the first appointment vividly, for until that appointment my mother, as a single parent, rarely had the time to take me anywhere outside of our poor working class neighborhood of Corona, Queens, let alone into Manhattan. Stepping out of the train at 23rd St, had felt like stepping out onto a whole new planet. I remember at school, my teachers had always talked about about how lucky we were to live in a great city like NYC, but it wasn’t until that moment that I understood what they meant.

    No one is certain who next in this country will suffer from an act against the basic human rights pledged to be secured by the Declaration of Independence that, “all men are created equal”, yet it always occurs to be a problem for some of the most vulnerable of people. This problem won’t be simply solved by one organization or group of people, but the vision is not just one I have, but many of my peers agree with is that we must see every person as fellow brothers and not outsiders, and we all must work in a common effort to enrich our own lives and everyone
