Independence

By Anonymous
Independent

I want to be more independent for my New Years resolution, because it’s hard for me to say no to someone or hard to be myself around other people. And it helps me find the real me and who I want to be instead of following what others do. This word connects to my life by helping me understand that, people can’t take control over you if you don’t let them. And it teaches my not to be as gullible and I become more bold and straight forward. This word means everything to me, it will help me get through in life and help me to find out what 8 want to be when I grow up. My first step to live this word is, whenever someone asks me to do something I don’t wanna do I’m gonna say no and that’s it, no excuses just no. Because if I continue letting people control me I won’t be able to do anything by myself. I’ll hold myself accountable by taking time to explore who I am and to take full control over myself overtime. This word connect to multiple areas of my life, one, because, you know how everyone likes rap? I like just not certain songs I’m more into pop than rap but to be honest, I would only listen to rap because other people did but now I just don’t care. Two, being myself, and to be a leader not following after anyone else’s tracks. Three, like I said saying no to something I don’t want to do and they can’t do anything about it if I say no because no means no. My New Year independent will help me improve and shape my life how I want it to be, not how anyone else thinks or believes my life should end up

Me and Only Me

By Anonymous
This quote would represent me in many ways, usually I'm a nervous wreck trying to talk in front of everyone and this quote had helped me. When I get up in front of everyone, all I think of is what if this goes wrong or what if I mess up. This quote represents me because I want to be motivated to help change the world, I'm in this club called MetoWe and we help raise money to help people in need around the world, and right now we're collecting cans to send to a food pantry to help people around our neighborhood for people who  can't provide food for themselves. Me and my mom we went through a time where we didn't have food at all but then she found out that there were food pantries and then we had about 7 in the house so we had got a lot of food.

Outsiders Connection to Another Article

Healing ‘Brick City’: A Newark Doctor returns home relates to The Outsiders in different ways. In both the article and the book they resemble heroism and lots of struggle, loss, and sacrifice.     “My past wasn’t always perfect. I grew up in a single-parent home with five siblings [in a] drug-infested community”. This relates to The Outsiders because, Johnny gave back to be apart of tomorrow. He risked his life in a burning church, to save children. He was a brave hero, and the the man gave back by also saving lives as a doctor, and his mother’s words of the wiser set him up for life to help his community.     “Through my mother’s way of handling life, she always made sure that I understood the need to give back.... She always said, ‘Once you make it, you have to come back and help other people.’ Too often, in Newark especially, I see so many professionals that do make it out — they don’t return. And I think that’s a crime in itself.... You have to have some soci...

My Identity

By Anonymous
I have many things that define me. Not by just looks but by my culture and family and lifestyle. Of course I am black/African American. I have a long history of bad things and good things that has happened to my culture. My family is Christian and we love to go to church. Our family is actually known and for generations passed down to sing. We are very spiritual and when I'm over my mom's house we usually listen to gospel music. I am a brother of 2 and an uncle of 3. My brother and sister both have kids, Daylena and DaS'hown. And my brother has 1 child that is a girl; Shonti. And my sister has 2 boys, Joshua who turned four on september 18th and my other nephew Jordan who turned 1 year old in July 21st. My mom is a really great cook, but she inspired me to want to be a professional cook, I want to learn how to cook better than her. Even though I am only 13, I still have jobs like most 13 year olds have a job to be students. But I have my own jobs probably a lot of people...
