Clara assignment 6

1. We all have things that motivate us each day to get up and get to school-more than even the nagging of our parents, the things that make us work hard in class and strive to get a good grade; Whether that be the want to go to college, to understand the world better or maybe because you secretly like learning. What are these things for you?
2. In our world there are many different cultures that all mash together. Even in our society of Lexington or small group of students at Henry Clay tons of cultures are prevalent. Culture comes from our taste in music, food, hobbies and many more things. What is culture to you? What do you identify as the largest part of you that identifies your culture? How would you describe your culture? How is it alike and different from the cultures you see in everyday experiences.
3. Everyone has a place that is very special to them; a place filled with a large sum of memories and experiences or a single one that is very special to them. This could be a place that you have grown up in or one you have only imagined. What is this place to you and what are those memories?

3. "Da da da da da da da." Those simple "da's" to most sound like an infant attempting to speak or a mom talking to their baby, but to me they are something much more. To me they are the beginning of the bugle which I here many times a day when at Seafarer- a places that holds many grand memories. This is the place I attended with my family at age 3, was a camper for an uncountable number of years, had a wonderful experience of being a CILT at last summer and get to be a counselor at next summer. To many it just seems like a really fun place to go but to me it's much more. Seafarer for me is a place I learned to sail, a place a made numerous friends, and a place I have spent many months of my lives. Seafarer is a place I get to go and be separate from the world of constant technology which is very hard to do in today's society. Seafarer is a place where I live in a cabin with 15 other girls, including campers and counselors, meaning issues can arise. Because of this it is a place you get the experience of not running from your problems or those who you dislike but learn to work with them. To me Seafarer is my special place because it is a place where I have met great people and made great friends.
