Short People Land
When it rains, the inhabitants where I live are the last to know. Welcome to short people land. At an early height of five feet two inches, I thought I had solidly established residence on the People of Average Height Land. Nonetheless, as I noticed myself moving toward the front of class pictures over the years and I remained five feet two inches on my fifteenth birthday, I obtained Short Person status. While my personality has its roots in my childhood Average Height Land, becoming and remaining short has greatly influence the person I am now.
Because I have not reached adulthood, human thought can naturally mistake me for someone younger. For instance, due to the limited size if our school’s gymnasium, ninth grade students are barred from

    short end or the gene pool

    Everyone has been singled out for one reason or another at least once in their life which makes it easy to understand where Trudeau is coming from. After reading this article, one might think that Trudeau simply needs tougher skin. It’s been known that kids can be cruel but it’s a parent’s responsibility to reassure their young that they are just as good as anyone else. It seems as though Trudeau’s father was aware of the situation and though he embraced and comforted him, no reconstructing words were said. Compared to the much more serious problems other kids face, in different countries or even our own, height being the least of them, it seems as if Trudeau needed to just ‘get over it’. In Trudeau’s mind, his height was the root of all that was wrong in his life. Not realizing that when a problem gets resolved, a new one presents itself. Digging deeper into this article, Trudeau’s actions and emotions can be easily compared to, say a recovering addict. Even though he can’t go back to being short, the past still has an emotional hold on him and every time he is reminded of it, he breaks down a bit, builds himself back up, and carries on. In a way, this article teaches us compassion and understanding. People may have similar problems to one another, however they surely have different ways of coping. No one knows the next person’s struggle but having mercy upon them will ensure the same in return, should the table be turned.…

    “And yet I still act sometimes like I was only about twelve. Everybody says that, especially my father. It’s partly true, too, but it isn’t all true. People always think something’s all true. I don’t give a damn, except that I get bored sometimes when people tell me to act my age. Sometimes, I act a lot older than I am – I really do- but people never notice it. People never notice anything.” (Salinger 9)…

    Applewhite On Ageism

    In this The New York Times article, “You’re How Old? We’ll Be in Touch”, written by Ashton Applewhite, the author touches on the controversial topic of age discrimination. Ageism is the discrimination against people of a certain age. Applewhite aims to show the audience how even those individuals who have honed their skills for years and have many different professional experiences under theirs belts, still have difficulty finding work due to reason not necessarily justifiable. The author also argues that the age at which this discrimination starts is lowering, meaning that even middle age individuals may begin facing this prejudice. Applewhite, a well established author of a book targeting ageism, talks about different examples of clear discrimination…

    Mature Minor Rule Essay

    Thru the course of my personal life I have observed both at a personal level, and thru observation of the news media that there are some adolescent’s that are far more mature than their age. However, there are always two sides to a story, contrasting circumstances or situations, and reality is that it is far more complex when analyzing maturity or immaturity of an adolescent. There has been research based on studying adolescent maturity and the brain, which has impacted both public debate and policies in general.…

    Upperclassmen Stereotypes

    “Ugh, freshmen,” says Oscar Jaramillo, senior student at V.I.S.A, when passing by the halls between classes. Usually, younger people are seen as obnoxious, immature, annoying, and simply unready. For instance, it is a common prejudice for upperclassmen to think all freshmen are down right annoying. This stereotype may come from the never ending relationship between age and experience. “Age is just a number,” so why do employers keep asking for it? Age is simply one of the only things about you that can not be altered or changed. Are adults really mature? Or are they simply trying to live up to what society defines ‘grown up’? The same question can be asked with younger people, are they really reckless and worry free? Or do they not have enough expectations to live up to?…

    What Does Age Mean To Me Essay

    Many adults and some of my classmates have dismissed my thoughts on higher level thinking such as philosophical ideas, spirituality and politics, because I am said to be too young to comprehend what they are discussing. Age has been an excuse to let children slack off in school work or other aspects of life. Age should not be used as a description but as reminder of the years God has granted you to tell the world about his great love. “There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.” ― Sophia Loren.…

    Personal Narrative Essay: Life After America

    With age comes maturity, increased awareness, and common sense. As I got older I started to realize that the life and opportunities that were given to me were not necessarily given to my classmate next to me. I believe this concept really drove home when I met a boy named Amit in middle school. Amit was a new student who really stood out to me because he spoke very little English. At the time I thought, “Who doesn’t know how…

    childhood vs. adulthood

    In contrast as adults we see things in a different light. It seems like the older we get the more cautious and skeptical we become. We know we can’t be whatever we want to, and everything won’t be handed to us. Ideally we would like to hold onto this simple outlook on life but as life begins to beat individuals up the view on the world begins to alter.…
