7. If you could introduce one new idea or material thing to a primitive culture, what would it be?
One material that I would introduce to a primitive culture would be the internet. I would share with them the internet, because the internet is full of useful information that can aid on numerous problems that the primitive culture could have. For example, when in a situation on catching an illness, the primitive culture can search on how to help prevent the illness or help fight it. Also, it can inform on the events that happen globally, in which can affect them either softly or harshly, like an alert on an incoming storm, such as a hurricane. Once the culture has been informed, they can prepare in advance to have minimal damage from the storm.

9. Given the authority to establish a holiday, what would you choose to commemorate? Why? What would the celebration look like?
A type of holiday that I would commemorate would be an Anti-war holiday. Reason why I'd choose a holiday to be anti-war is because I am an advocate for world peace and opposition of war. Many great activists of peace have greatly influenced me to look up to them for peace, people such as John Lennon. How the celebration would look like would be using the peace symbol, playing music about anti war and spreading peace, songs like "Imagine" by John Lennon, "Let It Be" by The Beatles, and "Sunshine (Go Away Today)" by Jonathan Edwards.

10. What is the best advice you've ever received? Explain.
The best piece of advice I ever received was "Be who you wanna be, don't let others take that chance away." I've consider this my best piece of advice I've received because society has been limiting on each other on what we want to become, and what we can't control about ourselves. I follow this advice for all of my life because there are numerous amount of people who won't accept the type of person I am.

12. Your life is a movie. Describe the first 15 minutes.
From the day I was born, I knew that I was gonna face through life's toughest problems, like everyone else. Years after the date of my birth, my expectations came true, as I faced through bullying, both physical and verbal, even through the internet, just because of who I am, what I follow, and what I believe. As of now, the only form of bullying I have to face through is from the internet, which I find the easiest to avoid/ignore, since I follow the saying, "Haters gonna hate." Not only that, but also the advice I've received from my family, my fellow classmates, and my closest friends. Everyday I worry about whether this world will be put to a stop from most forms of violence, in which I believe eventually it will come. Besides that, school is the major challenge I deal with. As time goes by faster and faster, I need to keep up with it's pace; however, lately, I feel like I've been slowing down. ...I thought that high school would the toughest years in my education besides going into college, but I feel like its only the beginning.

14. Please describe your reactions/ideas to the following quote: "He does not possess wealth, it possesses him."
My ideas in analyzing this quote that it is stating about the act of being obsessed with power, because years ago, kings and emperors only cared about is being the wealthiest. Supposedly, having a large quantity of currency means that you can take control of the people that surrounds you. People would work for the money that you would own; the higher amount of money you have, the more people a king or emperor can take control of.

16. Explain a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dilema you have faced and its impact on you.
A significant experience that I have went through was the ability to learn from my mistakes. If it wasn't from learning from my mistakes, I wouldn't have "moved" anywhere. As I learn from my mistakes, I become stronger, mentally, academically, creatively, and socially. For example, when I started to learn on how to play guitar, it was difficult for me to move from one fret to another that seems to be far from each other. My mistake was that I wasn't moving my fingers fast enough, and that I wasn't stretching my fingers. I practiced more and more on that technique and I leanred on how to play faster on playing guitar.
