Writing:
"Innovation with or without historical inspiration." This quote is a recurring theme which aligns with the ideals and academic methodologies of Trinity Institute. As such, in two or more paragraphs, please answer the following prompt: What historical figure inspires your development as an aspiring student. If none, explain what inspires you in their stead.
[dscroll] History? While an individual's family history shares merit, I don't see a historical figure having any influence. I find the idea of historical figures -- save for ancestors of a family -- have little historical value. You cannot talk to them, play with them, or even look at their physical forms; they already passed away. The amount of historical figures, or individual historical figures, is too much to count. I enjoyed hearing stories about Jesus and his sacrifice, Malcolm X's conversion to Islam, and Toni Morrison's elegant prose. I, however, do not see any merit from inspiration of someone unrelated by blood.
Legend, heirs, and empires can be made without money or any economical investment.
you imbue that creativity within your actions. While history tells us man things, it can only describe the past.
I can say that Toni Morrison's writing epitomizes the intelligence of African American women.
I can say that Malcolm X's conversion to Islam made him a radical African American.
I can also say that Jesus was the most devout follower of Allah.
But I cannot base my achievements off of a stranger. It's weird, and rather dishonorable. However, that is not to say nothing inspires me. Throughout my life, my father, Lukesh Ashran, inspired me to do what made me happy. I followed my father's request to get good grades, work hard, and do my best. When I was a young girl, I'd speak, learn, and read just like everyone else. My dad read things from the Qu'ran, and my mother followed along. I had no knowledge that I was Armenian until the third grade.
I thought I would be capable of socialization. I wore a "bonnet" with long, draping dresses. I never thought I'd stick out until we learned about 9/11. My teacher insinuated the idea that all Muslim people were bad, as the media blamed Middle Easterns. I got the idea; Middle Easterns were bad. At that exact moment, I snickered.
The teacher continued on to the appearance of Muslims. Something in that woman's maniacal description made me scared. As if I became the center of attention, she pointed at me. For now, I'd take back that snicker. She first had me stand up like a statue, and then take off my "bonnet".
She almost had a laughing fit, "I suppose little Thema has terrorists in her home! Now what happens to people who destroy our country?" I didn't take off my "bonnet" until she showed me something. I saw photos of Muslim women, wearing the same thing I wore. It made so much sense that I started crying. Did enemies look like that? The harrying gradually intensified, and m dad took notice. Divested of my "bonnet", I begged my dad not to intervene.
" Do not give the immature your money which God has assigned to you for support. But provide for them from it, and clothe them, and speak to them with kind words." ~ (Chapter 4, Women [an-Nisa']
"Where is your hijab?" 'Hijab'? He knew I never left without it. A few days later, I told my dad about the bullying. I remember Lukesh as a kind, gentle man. He'd come to me when I had problems fitting in. Lukesh supported me in accepting myself. Lukesh was always there when I wanted an explanation in the Qu'ran. Three years ago, my father passed away to a diabetic shock. I regret that Lukesh left at 58, but I feel that Allah put him there for a reason. I feel that his passing and his idealism enlightened my way of thinking.
One day, when I was 16, I wanted to know why he named me. My dad explained the meaning of my name. He named me Thema, as he wanted a powerful, strong woman. "Thema" is African for "queen". My father wanted a queen of the world, and a queen of her own plans. He wanted the queen to represent a multicultural family without any bars to freedom. I must say; he did it for me.
I'm happy being Armenian American. After his death, I feel that my mother wanted to carry on Lukesh's traditions. Lukesh taught me how to strive for my goals in Biochemistry. I wanted to become a biochemist to facilitate in cancer cell research. I want to help cancer patients fight their condition. I believe there are hidden opportunities for a healthier life. Why not open the box and find out?[/dscroll]
