Assimilation.... "Creation and Destruction"

Assimilation, Assimilation mean to "absorb" or "blend together" into one. Everyone assimilates, one can't simply say he or she does not assimilate. If you think about it all assimilating means is for one to "absorb" or to even "blend". When kids go to school they attempt to fit in by assimilating each others actions and expressing them so they can feel like someone, as for the people who are setting the examples they are the ones spreading into the "wider community" allowing others to absorb hence why i explained that assimilation means to "blend".

In the book "A Raisin in the Sun" Beneatha assimilates but hates when it is pointed out. Mama points out how she assimilates, even though it was not a direct quote actually saying something like "Beneatha u are assimilating!" it had the idea if Beneatha assimilations. 

In my past I have always assimilate, hell I assimilate now. So I think of myself as a nerd, not technically a school nerd but more like a computer nerd. As I grew with the gaming community i started assimilating the ideas of a gamer;I wanted to first be a programmer and now a Gaming designer. It shows that i started picking up ideas from the company behind these games and what they do for a living. I start to ponder as they assimilate their ideas to my mind through these games, like wouldn't it just be amazing if I had a game i worked on in the shops around the world, it just amazing how the gaming community works. I love to think about things like this because maybe one day i can a assimilate certain ideas into the community as well.

Thing about Assimilation , it can be viewed in different ways, as long as something is being spread or being absorbed. Eric Liu a "Assimilationist" rather said. Assimilationist being rather specific about what he's assimilating to. By assimilationist i am referring to a person who advocate or participates in racial or cultural integration. Eric Liu, a Chinese American, who assimilated towards the white people and then started assimilating the traits and culture to the whites to the people he knew. Like Eric Liu said assimilation is "... a(n) act of creation as much as destruction."

Me,me,me!!

When i began to think about me and my family i start to think two things, who is more important in life and whats the smarter decision. My brother and I are going to be the first one to graduate from college and I start to wonder if i should be more worried about my family when i leave to college or be more worried about myself, and the answer is myself. 

Family is very important but when it comes to seeing whats going to be more beneficial , you start to see the big picture. If i can get myself into college and graduate and get a great career than it benefits both me and my family because not only do i have more times on my hands because i don't have to worry about school but i'm also going to be making a lot more money than before, i'll finally have a decent career, or maybe even better.

So in the long run thinking about me will help me more than going straight for family. See don't get me wrong i'm a huge family person but i would rather put my career first than fail in life. My dreams mean everything to me and i don't plan on dropping them to go chase after something i'm looking for.

The American Dream

The American Dream, Well there's many "American Dreams" but in particular  my American Dream is to first off graduate High school , with being part of the top 5% in the graduating class of 2014. I want to move out the second i get out of high school, not only so i can have freedom , but i want to know how it feels to live on my own, i want to take on the responsibility. After I graduate i want to go to UTSA or CSULB, my main goal is to go to UTSA graduate with a computer science major than go straight to SMU Guild hall so i can get field experience with gaming design and even get my certificate, so i can go into one of the major league gaming companies like NCsoft, Bioware, Gearbox, EME, Sony, and the list goes on forever.

Well that is my American Dream, i really don't want to go into my fuill american dream because the list will just go on with what i want to do with my life, what my american dram is. For the most part i just want to go down the computer science field and get a PhD for gaming design, that is my main goal, that is my AMERICAN DREAM!
