To Kill A Mockingbird Reader’s Theater from the Screenplay by Horton Foote

I believe you have to own who you are. What made me come to this belief was when I started growing up I realized I had to own who I am and not try and be what other people expected or wanted me to be. This was both an easy and a hard thing to learn. People are just there to judge but they don´t judge themselves. 259 more words [ 257 more words ]

Honesty is the key to my trust. I don’t trust a lot of people but if I do trust you, you’re lucky. So to lose my trust it must suck. I believe that being honest really matters. Mostly because everyone that I know lies to me. Most of my family members have lost my trust, and respect. They do things that family should never do to each other. 407 more words [ 407 more words ]

Anxiety is a illness typically diagnosed alongside of depression. I was officially diagnosed 5 years ago when I was 13 years old. Anxiety is described as the feeling of worry or always being nervous. Constantly feeling like someone is watching you,sweaty hands and feeling a nervous ball at the pit of your stomach. Why do I have anxiety?

It doesn't matter what you think about this world, but why we are here as a human race comes down to two question: does everything happen for a reason? or is everything the way it is because it just is? If everything in our life did revolve around the fact that everything does happen for a reason, signifying our life is already shaped to its extent and the course of our life is predetermined.

Will I ever open up ? Do you have an issue opening up or are you someone who lets everyone know your life? Opening up and being myself is the hardest obstacle in my life right now. Why? Because my entire life I've been done wrong, people treat me terribly, my parents, my friends, and people I look up to. Since I was 9 years old I've kept things to myself, things that happened at school, at home, as well as things that were said to me. [ 161 more words ]

Unequal government regulations begin with different facilitated conditions that limit certain groups or specific people from having the same opportunities as everyone else. This may be unintentional but in many cases, the laws explicitly and purposefully limit these group's opportunities. Some examples are limitations in voting laws, policing laws, such as traffic searches and forced seizure of possessions, environmental laws, health care laws, and labor laws. [ 168 more words ]

Who is this young man, and what does he represent about himself? Well, I’ll tell you. I am me. To begin, my first identity that I will explain is that I am an introverted person that tends to spend their time either alone or with few people that they know. It might be seen as a way of not being social or only likes loneliness but that isn’t the case. [ 252 more words ]

The shadow box that I have created represents my life. In other words, it represents the life that I have and counter narratives that I have that people don’t know of. For example, in my shadow box I have images of people who I aspire to be like. I have pictures of singers who inspire me for my music which is something that people don’t know I do.
