... my world. This program will give me the information so I can become a leader, not a follower. The skills I learn will be taken back to my community and applied to a middle school program that I am involved in, and in Lincoln County 4-H. Leadership is not something you can take lightly. Many students at my high school would get elected to a leadership position and not perform the jobs and duties associated with the office. It was more of a popularity contest than a serious commitment. Over the years, I have been elected to several offices and I have realized that if you are elected to a leadership positio ...

On the other hand when you see Caucasians they are rarely in groups of three or more. To top it off when someone in one of their groups gets in trouble the rest of the group is nowhere to be found. Most times when you see young Caucasian people in a group they are for the most part within a normal speaking level. These two groups tend to act differently in the public due to their cultural differences. There are a number of differences between the chu ...

... through. My partner made a commented to me, “This is not a bad way to pick up chicks�. I did not realize how fortunate I am to have healthy legs. As I was walking with the walker toward the cafeteria, things started brutal. My hands and legs started hurting and getting sore. It usually would only take me about 2-3 minutes to get to the cafeteria from the Academic Building, but instead, it took me about 15 minutes with the walker. People were kind enough, however, to open the doors for my partner and I. As we entered the cafeteria, I noticed people looking at us sympathetically and some very arrogantly. O ...

... cultures regarded having a son much more beneficial to the family than having a daughter. Being born a girl in China was a very unhealthy thing since female infanticide was very common, especially among the lower classes. Not only was a female child an expense to raise, but later she needed a dowry to marry, and her most productive years were devoted to her husband's family and not her own. Therefore, some parent's attitude to children is such that when they bear a son they congratulate each other, but when they bear a daughter they kill her. Both children come from the parent's love, but they congratulate each ...

... work on cars. The same is true for the sports the father likes and the television shows he watches. If dad comes home everyday and watches the news with a beer in his hand, that is what the boy will think is what a man should do. Just as if a father treats his wife badly, a young boy will pick up on this behavior and think it is acceptable for a man to treat a women that way. The reverse is also true.

Crying is for girls or f ...
