History Through Film (Introduction & Writing Sample)

Introduction

Hello my name is Shelby. My hobbies include exercising, shopping, and indulging in food. I am a very athletic, I am gifted especially in soccer and track; I have an immense love for both sports. My greatest passion is fashion, I aspire to own my own clothing line or boutique around the time I get out of college. I find little pleasure in school, but I am grateful for the opportunity to even attend it. In school I find many things that I do not care for, such as having to ask to go to the restroom, or even ask permission to eat something. My favorite teacher is caring, joyous, outgoing, passionate, and playful. I have interest in history but I have bigger passions.

Are you proud of humanity or disappointed in humanity? 
As humans we are constantly oppressing one another. We divide each other into races, classes, body types, hair colors, personalities, etc. Constantly picking at one another and subconsciously or consciously judging one another. Humans as a species specifically is enough alone to feel disappointed in. Yes, we may have evolved and achieved great things; but, we have somehow put ourselves above other organisms. We don't even think of ourselves as animals anymore! Humans are superficial and selfish creatures, then we awe the few people that actually care about the things in life that we should. Humans are pitiful creatures, overall I am disappointed in humanity.
