Paper #1

  This paper is a personal narrative that I experienced in my lifetime. This being our first paper not much was expected of the students. The paper I wrote was about the many events that happened in my life that helped me to become a better person. To become a person that looks at both sides of the story before making a final judgment. To become a person that desperately tries to be politically correct all the time, so as not to offend anyone. My goal is to become that person, and with the help of my very close friends I feel closer to that goal. This the experiences that I wrote about in Paper #1.
   
  There was no technique that was required for us in this paper. Thus, I did not learn anything new from this paper. The only thing I can truly say is that this paper helped me realize and organized the events that occurred within my life that had such a profound impact.
   
  Here are a few excerpts from my Paper #1:
     
    "...I, above all things, cherish nature and anything that comes from it, second I cherish knowledge and wisdom. Being the academic person I was I valued learning new things and I definitely respected those who had a great deal of wisdom in them."
     
    "...“Stranger in a Strange Land” by Robert H. Heinlein, this book completely change my paradigm...the book covers many aspects of human behavior that I have not thought about in depth before. The book puts many ethics issues into question; such issues as, culture assimilation, radical thinking, and religion."
     
    "Today, I am not exactly where I wish to be. Like I said before Jessica is my role model and the thing that impressed me the most about her was her impeccable way of listening to others, having non bias opinions, and looking at other people’s perspective. And as I look at myself I notice that I still have trouble looking at the others perspective; though, I do know that I always make an attempt and I always think before making any judgment. And to my gratitude some of my close friends tell me that I am a great listener and they value my judgment. This makes me feel better, considering where I was before."
