Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks passed away on Monday, October 24, 2005.Ms. Parks became famous for starting the bus boycott after she refused to sit in the back of a public bus. Most people think that she did this because she was tired and that was a reason but it was mot the real reason. the real reason why she didn't give up her seat was because she didn't want to "be mistreated or be deprived" of the seat she had paid for. Before she did this act of bravery, she was a seamsrtess at a local department store and after this incident, she became part of a major civil rights movement known as the bus boycott. Ms. Parks was the inspiration of the many movements Martin Luther King started and many other historical civil rights leaders. Without her, my school would probably be segregated and extremely poor without her; I probably wouldn't be writing this right now.

Japanese American History Museum

Overall, I think the Japanese American History Museum was very interesting and it really got me hooked on Japanese American history. Two things I learned are how the Japanes call their first generation in the United States Ise, the second, Nise, and the third, Sanse. I also learned that Benjamin Franklin was a racist. My favorite aspect of the museum was seeing the Medal of Honor and all of the other medals(bronze star, purple heart, etc.)that the Japanese Americans in WWII and the model of Manzanar(an internment camp). Some of the similarities between the Asian American experience and the African American experience is that they both involve racism, unfair treatment, and civil rights struggles.

My Personality

According to the personality test I have just taken, my code is INTJ. This means that I am a very practical person that relies on logic and facts to prove something right or wrong and I do not do well with people.
According to http://www.personalitypage.com/INTJ_car.html, my personalityis this: "More so than any other personality type, INTJs are brilliant when it comes to grasping complex theories and applying them to problems to come up with long-term strategies. Since this type of "strategizing" is the central focus and drive of the INTJ, there is a happy match between desire and ability in this type. Accordingly, the INTJ is happiest and most effective in careers which allow this type of processing, and which promote an environment in which the INTJ is given a lot of autonomy over their daily lives."
The types of jobs that I am cut out for are:
Scientists
Engineers
Professors and Teachers
Medical Doctors / Dentists
Corporate Strategists and Organization Builders
Business Administrators / Managers
Military Leaders
Lawyers / Attorneys
Judges
Computer Programmers, Systems Analysts and Computer Specialists
The type of wife I would most likely have would probably be an ENFP or an ENTP.

My Learning Style

I have a verbal, logical, visual, kinestethic, musical, and intrapersonal learning style so basically, I can learn many different ways. My weakest learning style is interpersonal because I don't like working with people. I can improve this learning style by working with people but I don't feel like it!!!
