My experience with my mild case of Autism that has heavily influenced me as an adult was during this past summer. It was truly the first time I had been out of my comfort zone. I took a job at Camp Wolverine, *Zaxie* in Twin Lake, Michigan. It is one of four campsites under the Owasippe Scout Reservation which is the oldest camp that works with the Boy Scouts of America. I was originally hired as a lifeguard. After a few weeks, I was moved to the Trading Post. I was charged with running the post. I was responsible for daily activities such as selling and inventory. Because of staff shortage, I was given the position of Citadel of Steam Merit Badge Instructor. Initially, with each position, I felt overwhelmed and undertrained. At first, I was hesitant about each position and doubted myself to perform the needed tasks I had a choice with each change, make it a positive experience or drown in negativity. Sadly, I was in those deep waters for a moment. I tried to appeal to my superiors to give me a chance to prove myself as a lifeguard since it was the position I signed up for. However, seeking help from the camp and area directors, and setting my mind to succeed allowed me the ability to grow and help other scouts accomplish their needed merit badges. Because of my ability to adapt and deliver, I have been invited to return next summer. I think that this is the best testimony I can give about myself. My disability is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, it allows me to adapt to situations whether it be within a workplace or in school. I can memorize information with my photographic memory, solve puzzling problems with my critical thinking skills, explain any type of subject understandably and cohesively, and so on. On the other hand, my disability can lead me to doubt many aspects of myself. From how I study for any type of testing material, to how I work with others on any type of group project, to how I construct type essays and reports, to how I speak with people who aren't friends or family, and so on. However, I have learned and been reminded time after time that with the help of those I trust, I can overcome my doubts and faults. On top of that, show many including myself that I am not handicapped mentally, but boosted far beyond what is considered normal in human beings.

I was the original, then a part was separated Then a praised failure was created. They tested me, and I failed every iteration. They used reason and logic for every situation. The memories started to hurt, And their greed left me in the dirt. I was feared and I feared, The trust’s courage disappeared. They felt joy with their experiment, And adored the idea of fragment. Now with a diminished unity, I serve their ambition and creativity. Now every thought of rage has left, And now there lies an empty shell. So let us now rest in peace, Because the fragments were once one piece. Me…

The book that transformed my life was War in Human Civilization by Azar Gat. The book War In Human Civilization is an educational lecture and helps the reader have a clear perspective on why war exists. Manly wars between “The Great Powers.” These powers include but are not limited to Great Britain, Germany, Russia, France, the United States, etc. This topic sounds simple on paper, but it is a long and time-consuming process. However, as Mr. Gat was formating his book, he divided his expertise into four parts. The parts include the three introductions, Part 1. Warfare in the First Two Million Years: Environment, Genes, and Culture, Part 2. Agriculture, Civilization, and War, and Part 3. Modernity: The Dual Face of Janus. Each part has chapters that either support, expand, or contradict, for lack of better terms, specific points in the book, and his thesis. The book concludes with endnotes, an index, and picture credits. Now on to the author. Professor Azar Gat is a researcher on military history, military strategy, nationalism, war, and peace. His research mainly focuses on how war is in decline in our time, and this book and other of his works help expand this. On top of that, it makes sense. He was born and raised in Haifa, Israel, on the year 1/01/1959. He received his doctoral degree from the University of Oxford, his MA from Tel Aviv University, and his BA from the University of Hafia. Azar gat has written nine books so far in his career, with his latest book titled Nations: The Long History and Deep Roots of Political Ethnicity and Nationalism. Azar Gat is also a Major in the Israel army, the fourth highest rank in the military. He is currently an Ezer Weitzman Professor for National Security in the Department of Political Science at Tel Aviv University and is still researching and writing to this day. Now to the parts and chapters. The book’s first part, if you will call it that, is the introductions. The introductions include a preface, acknowledgments, and a list of images. The preface both supports and opposes the book’s purpose. For example, the preface says, and I quote, “These questions are not new and have seemingly resisted conclusive answers to the point that both questions and answers appear almost as clichés. In reality, however, they have very rarely been subjected to rigorous comprehensive investigation and, indeed, have largely been regarded as being too ‘big’ for serious scholarly treatment.” It makes sense since the topic, in a sense, is a rabbit hole of a discussion. The acknowledgments are the author thanking his friends, professors, and journal companies for proofreading his work before publication. The acknowledgments also briefly describe the struggle of creating the book. However, this section doesn’t give a range of time for the process itself. The list of images is self-explanatory. The book ends with the section described in paragraph one. The endnotes section describes the author’s final thoughts on the book’s creation. Similar to the acknowledgments section with the addition of other experiences in the book. For example, Mr. Gat elaborates on his process of collecting his work cited to make sure plagiarism wouldn’t be a problem. The index is self-explanatory, and picture credits are similar to the list of images. With all of that information done and done, the book’s thesis is important to have either an average understanding or a higher level of understanding. this is because a student’s time in grade school and high school only gives the basic history, importance in history, and comprehensive explanations of a war’s existence.

The best poem I wrote is called My Fragemtaion. I wrote this poem in my free time after watching the RooserTeeth show Red v.s. Blue on Netflix when it was still on. Each line of text is connected to one of the many A.I. fragments in the show. They include Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Eta, Theta, Iota, Sigma, and Omega. Plus, I added two other A.I. that were shown when Agent Texas received a Dog Tag from Agent Connecticet. The two A.I.s are Xi and Tau. The poem goes as follows. I was the original, then a part was separated Then a praised failure was created. They tested me, and I failed every iteration. They used reason and logic for every situation. The memories started to hurt, And their greed left me in the dirt. I was feared and I feared, The trust’s courage disappeared. They felt joy with their experiment, And adored the idea of fragment. Now with a diminished unity, I serve their ambition and creativity. Now every thought of rage has left, And now there lies an empty shell. So let us now rest in peace, Because the fragments were once one piece. Me…

The best chance that will make education better for future generations is if the teachers or professors make the subject they teach more engaging and fun at the same time. I say this because if the teacher or professor makes it so, then the students will have a better time learning and succeeding in the class. For example, back in grade school, my history teacher Mr. Bratager used his sayings to describe specific historical characters and events and certain places worldwide. Plus, he would use music videos directly connected to specific historical characters and circumstances and certain areas around the world to help the class better understand. On top of that, if the textbook we used didn't give a good description of something, he would encourage his students including myself to search it up. This eventually became a position in his class called the Google Meister. If a teacher in grade school can do this, there is no excuse why others don't. That's all I have to say about that.

In 2020, I was working my hardest to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout in BSA. During the early months, I had to finish more requirements on troop potions and organize an Eagle Scout project. The potion requirements were easy. The project was the hardest because my troop council considered an actual Eagle Scout project. I eventually did get one approved. The project was to help apply a coat of paint to a wooden fence, two wooden tables, and two wooden benches for Watermelon Mountain Ranch Animal Center. I spent the remaining month till October to ready the project. On the day of the project, multiple scouts of my troop, family members, and myself spent the who day working on the project until 1:00 PM, when everyone completed it. Afterward, I had until my birthday on the second of November to do a unit leader conference and an Eagle Scout board of review. In the end, I receive my rank of Eagle Scout on the first of November.

My goal in life is to have doctorates in anthropology, archeology, and paleontology. I will receive my doctorates in anthropology and archeology at the University of New Mexico, then move to Chicago, Illinois, to work for my paleontology doctorate at UIC. I am a perfect candidate for any scholarships connected to anthropology, archeology, and paleontology since I have been fascinated by fossils and their stories. Plus, I will give all of my blood, sweat, and tears into the subject to learn and discover.

The quote goes as follows, “That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is indeed without a doubt, a real superhero,” Stan Lee.

During each class, in record what assignments, quizzes, tests, and exams are due during the week for each course I am in. After each school day, I look at my record of assignments and get to work on what needs to be done immediately. If it a project like a research paper or upcoming quiz, test, and or exam I will pace out my work and study time after urgent assignments.

I will use it to pay my bursar account for my study abroad at Universidad Popular Autónoma del Estado de Puebla to help pay the travel cost and any other expenses connected to the trip.
