A Biography On My Mom
I wrote a biography on my mom because she is basically an older and wiser me, but her childhood
wasn't exactly as easy. Lashae Damore Bibbins was born on March fifteenth, 1970 in Los Angeles
California at the UCLA Medical Center. She was born on her dad's birthday and unfortunately, the
day her father's best friend died from a car incident. Lashae's parents are Lucille and John Jefferson.
Her first memory was when she was four or three years old in pre–school called Kimberly Ann in
1973. Lashae says, "I remember they had an ugly red carpet, and I refused to take a nap till the
teacher said "okay just lay down quietly". I used to watch a T.V show called "H.R. Puffin Stuff."
There was a red flute, an ugly green witch and the trees moved and talked." Lashae's mom
especially remembers when Lashae would cry every time she dropped her off, which gave her a
headache. As a child Lashae was most afraid of dying. She would think about it all the time and
scare herself. She also remembers the weekends when she was young. "Saturdays were the best
because I was able to watch cartoons all morning while drinking hot chocolate and eating toast with
grape jelly. My favorite t.v–show to this day was the Brady Bunch."
Lashae had two siblings. Her unreliable older brother, Maurice, who she thought was very weird
because he would always lie and steal from their family and an annoying younger sister, Meme, who
at the time lived to make Lashae's life miserable by pretending that Lashae hurt

Biographical criticism takes into account that literary works are created by actual people and that
understanding an author's life can help readers comprehend the work more thoroughly. "Heart of
Darkness" is one of the most remarkable of Conrad's short novels, and its autobiographical narrative
is evident. Miller pays attention that Marlow's tale differs greatly from the stories of ordinary
seamen, as though it is put in the historical context of the nineteenth–century world–dominating
imperialism, it concerns the issues of enlightenment caused by traumatic experience (31–32). The
novel may be interpreted as the writer's journey into self–reflection. The narrator becomes the
author's alter ego who expresses ideas and thoughts, which worry Conrad himself. Biographical facts

Guerard asserts that the redemptive view is Catholic, though there is no priest in attendance, as
well as Victorian, but a Victorian ethic and Victorian fear of the white man's deterioration have a
"distinctly Catholic psychology" (7). Following Conrad's own ideas as a Catholic and a moral
man, Marlow observes that people are protected from themselves by society with its laws and its
watchful neighbors as well as by work itself. When the narrator describes his journey and mentions
drums beating at night and asks himself why he didn't go ashore for a howl and a dance, he answers
proudly that he had no time, since he "had to watch the steering, and circumvent those snags, and get
the tin–pot along by hook or by crook" (Conrad 59), and a lot of other things familiar to the author
because of his long voyages. But if the external restraints of the society and work are removed, a
person has to face temptation of savage reversion like

Slowly, my classes became easier and I did better from not worrying as much about grades.
Grades are important in the sense that they serve as a measure for how well a student does in the
subject, but it doesn't demonstrate whether the student actually learned anything. A person
should only take classes that pertains to their interests, not because it looks good on their
transcript. As a first generation immigrated adolescent, I have had to face many challenges
whether they are social, personal or academic. However, I have not let that hinder my progress in
pursuing my goals of wanting a better life and helping others. Instead they have slowly made me
discover who I am as a person. When I look back on my life, I feel that I have developed so much
as an individual and established a strong set of moral that will continue to support me in the future.
The foundation of principles I build now will determine what kind of person I will become for the

Essay on Sociological Autobiography
My life started with my long and hard birth on July 14, 1993. I came into the world with a large
scream and was immediately placed into some sort of category. The doctors and nurses took a
quick look at me, and pronounced me as a girl. This social label of being a girl was now my
gender, which is something I had no say in. Every since that very moment in time where my
parents were told I was a girl, I have been treated according to my gender. This meant that my
parents automatically dressed me in pink, bought me dollhouses and kitchen sets and threw me
Barbie themed birthday parties. Since I was surrounded my whole entire life by these things, it was
almost like second nature to think and act the way that I did and still do. My...show more content...
I became intrigued and wanted to play with his toys because they became so much more
interesting then mine. When my grandmother saw that I was playing with trucks and enjoying it,
she quickly came over and grabbed them out of my hands, giving them back to the little boy I had
taken them from. She then explained to me that trucks were for boys not girls, and I should stick
to using my pink shovel and bucket set to make nice sandcastles. I didn't understand at that point
what the big issue was, it was just toys that were fun to play with, but I agreed with my
grandmother because I didn't want to get into trouble and from then on stuck to focusing on
making sandcastles. I quickly forgot about the trucks, and never again did I think to play with
anything remotely like that. Little did I know it, but that was one of the first examples of gender
roles that I had been exposed too. Growing up, my label of a female has given me both advantages
and disadvantages. Having a younger brother has given me a clearer view of how parents and
family members socialize the both of us to act male or female. Because I am a female, it was
expected of me from a very early age to attend school and university. There was never really a
choice, it was either that or go straight into work, which was the less pleasing option. However my
brother is just expected to get his high school diploma and go work for my father and take over our
family business, which

How To Write A Biographical Profile Essay
Biographical Sketch: Jason Jason is a 22 year old, white, agnostic male. He's the youngest of 5 boys
and grew up in a Jehovah's Witness Household with a bi–polar mother and a now emotionally distant
father. Up until puberty, he and his parents were very close. His mother was a stay at home parent,
and he recalls many instances when they would bake cookies and watch soap operas together.
Though his father worked very long hours as a contractor, he found time to take his son out to eat,
to plays, and to amusement parks when he could. That isn't to say that the relationship between his
parents was loving, as Jason's parents would fight constantly when Jason's dad was home on the

Though Veronica is a woman and Jason considers himself mostly attracted to men, her gender is
irrelevant as sexuality is not black or white. With that being said, Jason's relationship with
Veronica, as well as his past relationships with men, are and were in a state of ambiguity. Veronica,
who has a boyfriend, considers herself a straight woman but allows Jason to push the boundary
between friends and lovers. Sometimes she is receptive to his advances while other times she
outright rejects him. Veronica's occasional receptiveness to Jason's emotional and sexual advances
has resulted in Jason forming intense feelings for Veronica. As she is a straight woman, attracted to
males who identify as men, Veronica doesn't love Jason the way that Jason loves her. The
inconsistency and "on and off" mood of their relationship causes Jason great distress, depression,
and anxiety. He feels as though he is constantly in between a friend and lover with Veronica, but
doesn't realize that he is consistently ambiguous in many areas of his

Her family communicates to one another using spanish or sometimes english. I have always
grown up in a family that speaks only english so I find it interesting to go over to other people's
houses and hear them communicating in another language. On top of all of this meeting different
people has also opened my mind to new ideas. For example, in school when we work in group
projects we collaborate and communicate with people who think differently than us then work
together to figure out whose ideas will work the best and how to improve them.
Another factor that plays a part in why I am shaped how I am is my family's economic
circumstances. I have always had access to anything I needed and for that I have extreme
gratitude because I know some people have a lot of difficulty in life. Since I was born into a
family with such good economic circumstances I have been lucky to have lots of opportunities.

Wow now this stage of my life which made me who I am today, it had the most life changing
experiences up to this date, secondary school. My very first secondary school was Salisbury, it was
said that it was one of the worst performing schools in the country and also one of the worst
behaved. I did not know this and didn't believe it because I and most of my friends had achieved
very good grades in our SATS. I had achieved level five in English, five in science and four in
mathematics. Anyways when I first started the school was the chitter chatter of other pupils and the
smell of school dinners was as always putrid. The grease they used to fry made the air slimy and
un– breathable.
When I entered the massive gates the immense building towered over me. I felt tiny in
comparison just like my confidence at the time, I was terrified. My year had started a day earlier
than the rest of the school so that we could get to know each other better. I had already made some
new friends but I had also made enemies. Me and my new friends played some football together and
it was awesome they were unstoppable (I was unstoppable as well) and right there I knew I made

Autobiography Of My Childhood
In second grade, I finally figured out that something was wrong with me. There always had been,
and it was only getting worse. For as long as I had been alive, I was never like other kids. As a baby,
I never crawled more than a few inches. But one day, just for fun, my dad stood me up across the
room from my mom. "Walk to Mama," he told me. Despite all expectations, I did. I got up and
walked to Mama. I didn 't even stumble. It wasn 't that I couldn 't walk, I just hadn 't needed to.
My mom carried me everywhere. It was a sign, albeit missed, of what was to come. I had also never
spoken, not even baby babble. Many of my parents ' friends took this as proof that I was autistic.

positive. I was gifted. Very. The school resumed its rhetoric with even more force. They didn 't
want me to leave. I was dragging up their test scores. My parents, however, did want me to leave,
as did I. We started looking at schools. Two favorites emerged: Nova Classical Academy and
Minnetonka Public Schools's Navigator program. Nova was a public charter school in Saint
Paul, much closer to my house in Minneapolis, and was recommended by my IQ test proctor. The
Navigator program was, unsurprisingly, in Minnetonka, and my parents had found it on their
own. Due to my father's anxieties about me going to a charter, they decided to look more closely
at Minnetonka. A little while later, I was pulled from my school to go to a Navigator orientation.
As soon as I walked in to the classroom, I felt every pair of eyes on me. I was in the worst situation
imaginable–I was the newcomer. I didn 't know anything about this strange new place, half an hour
away from my school, my house, and anything and anyone I knew. Worse, in less than a year, these
kids could be my classmates. I took a spot at the very back table. There was only one other student
there–a blonde girl who quickly introduced herself

They are still debating over the solution for this.
"In term of foreign policy, he is indecisive" –Bui, 36. According to what he said, Mr. Obama often
gives late decisions. He is not good at dealing with other countries. Ukraine and Eastern Sea are
one of the obvious proofs. China and Russia have been very daring lately; America is losing
respect in both term of economy and military. Israel is another country to concern. Imagine if
there is no Israel, all those Middle Eastern countries are sharing the same belief. They will
eventually team up, create their own Alliance and only God knows what they can do with that.
The world doesn't need another version of Germany in World War 2. According to Jenifer Rubin
from The Washington Post, in an article she said "President Obama gave an interview in which
he viciously attacked Israel, suggesting that Israel was the cause of the peace process failure, that
the United States could no longer protect Israel if the peace process failed". Mr. Obama should
consider that keeping Israel strong is a good thing to do right now. A strong Israel means that
Middle East is unstable. Israel's neighbor countries will keep being suspicious in every moves Israel
made. They will be busy dealing with each other. In another word, it will prevent them to unify.
However, American should consider the good that he has done for this country. He ended the war

People with job tenure are more productive, absent less frequently, have lower turnover, and are
more satisfied at their work. These individual are more committed to work long hours and will
put in the extra time to get the job done. They are normally more focused about organizational
goals and often in authoritative position in order to achieve the task put forward by the
organization. A person with tenure position brings more experiences and performance to the
organization and normally shows more satisfaction toward work. In other words, their attitudes
toward work are more positive than other workers and their work ethics aims at producing great
result. * Religion This biological characteristic are deem as minor issue in the organization.
Religion can be defined as a biblical belief or worship by individuals. It is said that Islam religion
is especially problematic to the work place in this post 9/11 world. However, one may find that
other religions are problem in the organization because of their religious beliefs. Instead of doing
the work that was delegate to them they find time on the job to prayer or do other activities. They
tend to take more time out for their religion and leave their job hanging on the line due to the fact
that they cared less for their job and more for the religion they worship. Often time managers are
faced with a hard time to get these people

The three things that have made the biggest impact on and have influenced my life that shaped
me into the person I am today are family background, experiences from my school year, and
religious beliefs. Our culture provides a lens through which we view the world and interpret our
everyday experiences. In order to know who I am today, I must look at who you've been. Many
educators around the country are interested in developing a multicultural approach in their teaching.
They find themselves in classrooms with 25 children of varying racial and cultural backgrounds,
and are looking for ways to connect what they do in the classroom to the cultures represented by
their students. Before we can begin to understand others, however, we need to understand ourselves
and what we bring to our interactions with others. Every time we engage with our surroundings we
create an experience both consciously and unconsciously. Our live experiences whether traumatic or
joyful shape who we are over time. An experience that has defined the person I am today is my
journey I went through as a child traveling back and forth from the United States to Mexico as an
undocumented. If a child has an impact when moving into a new house and neighborhood imagine
countries. I was brought to the United States when I was two years old. When you are a baby I

The understanding of European politics during the latter half of the extended nineteenth century,
particularly from 1848 onward to the First World War, is as much about the European political
climate as a whole as it is about the key figures within this climate. For example, one cannot fully
understand the multitude of independence and nationalist movements in the Balkans during this
time without first understanding the outside pressures placed on these movements by the three
competing empires of the Russians, Habsburgs, and Ottomans; and only then delving into the
multitude of persons whom inspired the individual movements. Likewise, understanding the German
situation at this time is just as much about the European picture as a whole, as...show more content...
However, if a more global approach, rather than a biographical one, is taken then it is much easier to
see that Germany's turn to protectionism is by no means unique. In fact, Eric Hobsbawm states that,
"Starting with Germany and Italy (textiles) in the late 1870s, protective tariffs became a permanent
part of the international economic scene," and he furthers this point with, "Of all the major
industrial countries only Britain held fast to unrestricted free trade, in spite of powerful occasional
challenges from protectionists." Thus, it is clear that protectionism was not uniquely German, and
indeed any industrializing economy during this time that still possessed a large agrarian sector was
ultimately pushed into protectionism out of necessity. However, although Waller is clear in
mentioning that, "although Europe and the world were changing rapidly in 1870, we must not
attribute all of these changes to the Franco–Prussian war, which were more modest than sometimes
assumed," this still frames the situation in a German sense; whereas, Hobsbawm is explicitly clear in
protectionism being a global trend. On the other hand, Waller's biographical approach to this history,
while limiting understanding of the bigger picture, helps the reader to comprehend the purely German

Essay on Biography of William Shakespeare

established the Church of England. Sir Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Walter Raleigh sent colonists
eastward in search of profit. In trade, might, and art, England established an envious preeminence.
