To not fit in is probably one of the most difficult things a child can face, and it happens all the time in America to the children of immigrants. It is easy to talk about "celebrating your heritage," but much more difficult to do when you are a child, and have no friends because of your skin color and your culture. Now, it is easier for me, but there are still barriers in our society, and I know that throughout my life, I will have to fight those barriers to succeed and to grow as a woman, as an American, and as an Asian.
A think, after considering what I have learned in this course, that I would like to research what I do not know about my own family history, and fill in the pieces of the puzzle. Before this class, I did not think much about my family's past, other than to listen to the stories of my grand parents and their youth, and know that my mother and father were born in this country. I have decided that I will find out more about my ancestors, before they came to this...
I want them to have an appreciation of who they are, where they came from, and where they will go in the future.
In conclusion, I have always been proud to be an Asian-American woman. I am proud of my heritage, my strength, and my determination. However, completing this course has made me even more proud of my ancestry, after understanding how much it took for the Chinese to come to America, and how many hardships they faced along the way, and after they arrived here. Their journey has not been easy, and that makes me all the more fulfilled at my heritage. I will pass this varied history on to my children, and I will be honored to do so. This class has opened my eyes, and I do not plan to keep them closed again when it comes to the women of Asia who have helped build up their own lives and their culture in America.

The feeling of being lost and lonely can be overwhelming. Those are the times I must work especially hard; those are the times that test my faith in God. I may come to feel psychologically strong by moving through difficult periods with grace and trust. Feeling at home in the Universe is a rare feeling, which may only come a few times in my life. However, I can prepare
Consciousness Part 1 "What are the key challenges facing a science of consciousness?" The study of consciousness has been plagued by the perception that traditional scientific methods are not capable of explaining or exploring the meaning of human consciousness adequately. This is essentially due to the division between science and religion that occurred in the development of Western thought. As a result of this fact, the science of consciousness is faced with
Life After Death Introduction classical point of departure in defining Death seems to be Life itself. Death is perceived either as a cessation of Life - or as a "transit area," on the way to a continuation of Life by other means. While the former presents a disjunction, the latter is a continuum, Death being nothing but a corridor into another plane of existence (the hereafter). A logically more rigorous approach
Life After Death Is there such a thing as life after death? This is a question which has attracted the attention of philosophers, scientists, and religions for centuries. The difficulty with the question of life after death is that there exists no genuine persuasive proof on the question one way or another: attempts to prove the phenomenon are seldom universally persuasive.
