What are the dangers of linking personal experience and knowledge? One problem of personal experience is our perception of things. We all have a different way of perceiving things therefore they will oftentimes be very different from someone else's. We have different personal life experiences; hence, if we were to level personal experience and knowledge, we would be unable to agree on truth in any matter. For example, if one student traveled to Italy over summer vacation and saw the Trevi Fountain

How does it contribute to the nation’s current and future development (socially, culturally, politically, economically, etc.)? Defining the “American Experience” is difficult because it is comprised of many facets and experiences each uniquely personal to the individual. Experiences vary from those, which are public and contribute to the “greater

over this past summer and I totaled my car; this experience changed my life forever. It wasn’t a revelation that I was planning for, but nonetheless it happened. I thought I was going to die in that accident, but by the grace of God I didn’t. I have now become a lot more aware of how short life is and how I need to live it to the fullest every day. You never know when your time is going to be up, and you need to be ready. Like Julian, my experience was also near death. Unlike Julian, I did not pray

My AP English class read Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, and it was again reminiscent of my experience of looking in a mirror.

In *Enter Date* I was diagnosed with autism: this is where my story begins. When I was diagnosed, it was not a shock to me and my family. I was always that lonely kid in the back of the room that no one knew existed, that kid who had no friends, who always sat alone at lunch and was constantly bullied for who I was. Immediately after being diagnosed I would spend my Thursday afternoons at therapy... this would happen every Thursday for the next two year. Now that was a struggle for not just me but

Boba, boba, boba. Little shops around every corner on every block, creating chaotic streets and bright lights. Cars from all directions bombarding black pavements, honking constantly at one another.

They’re filled with my ethnic background, full of history and familiarity. The crowded hectic noisy mess I love, this move reconnected me back to

sheer multitude and complexity of the cases only stimulated my curiosity. Some of them, however, proved to be very emotionally demanding to handle, such as one of an infant whose life was on the fence due to complications after conception. These experiences, though, have granted me a realistic perspective on the arduous but dynamic nature of a medical profession – be it the bloody cases, the endless days on feet, or the irregularities of activities as primitive as eating

First of all, we were wrong when we thought who is autistic always knows all about adversity. I, a normal person, also have some experiences about adversity. It is absolutely right when we face the changes occur differently to what it was supposed to be, we do not feel security. I will realize that feeling either. Whenever I see a change, whether it is positive, I also launch the fear in my emotional brain. Sometimes I am running out of what I am trying to do. If only do I change direction a little

The Puerto Rican couple that I had the privilege of interviewing, was an elderly mother and her daughter who lived in the community. Actually, it was the mother who took over the interview but I didn’t mind.

Therefore, the mother was born in Puerto Rico and migrated to the United States with three children at the young age of twenty three. She stated
