“Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” – Nelson Mandela. The quote by Nelson Mandela, sums up my personality,← a better way to say this? Explains the type of person I am? I am persistent. I do not give up, and I am determined to succeed in my academics. I have overcome a lot of struggles throughout the undergraduate years. Which lead to my falling, but over the years I picked myself back up and showed that I am able to succeed with my degree in Sociology. ***←- how can I show this without saying I am determined to succeed.

Transition: One of the greatest accomplishments I have achieved in Sociology, consisted of my research for the anthropology and sociology conference.

Anthropologists and Sociologists of Kentucky; my research was on Slutwalk, which is an international social movement that challenges assumptions about rape culture, particularly rape myths. This movement empowers women by organizing protest marches, in which the women dress in “slutty” clothing to inform victims of sexual assault that their clothes are not to blame for their own rape. At the conference, I presented my research to an audience during a session called From the Local to the Global. Following my presentation, I received questions concerning why Slutwalk is important to sociologists and why this subject was interesting to me. I explained that I am passionate about understanding why women blame themselves for rape as well as working to change this response. ← A few/a lot of sentences are so complex, how can I break the sentences down so the reader can grasp this information?

Transition: The only way I could inform others about the struggles women face is by complete research methods.

My research methods professor was an English university professor. The professor taught the class like an English university course. Research methods class is challenging along with a high dropout rate. As you can see, I was able to pass the class without retaking the class. The research methods, along with the sociology classes, are writing intensive class that challenge ones views. No idea what else to add. ← trying to show how Dr. Battle taught the English way and how his class was difficult and I passed a hard class the first time. ←Trying to show how I have experienced the British school system, which is similar to the Australian system.
