Personal Perspective

The most significant and unforgettable event in my childhood was my first 13th birthday celebration. I still remembered how my friends and family gathered together to enjoy my party. I was extremely pleased and excited as I had never felt this kind of crowed and gotten wishes from people. I celebrated my birthday party at home where it was located in Cambodia.

When I thought over my past as I was a little girl, I was not completely inspired by parents to study hard at school instead of being responsible on my own to study. Since my mother often gave me less concentrated, she did not know how to encourage me once I got grade or reward at school. However, I knew that she always loved and cared me secretly. Until one day at November 21, 2000, I got a surprised birthday party from my mother. She finally made it for me unexpectedly. I really had a good life in my life with plenty of gifts from friends and family. Whenever I see birthday cake, it reminds me of my first cutting 13th birthday cake. It was an awesome feeling that I could not express in description. The only thing I can say now is I love my family especially my precious parents.

Personal narrative

My research topic is effects of social development on autistic children. I would like to do this research because I want to find out what the symptoms of autim are and how much people understand about this disorder genearlly. I contribute ideas of this topic since there are increasing of autistic children over the year genearlly as I used to see one of neighbor's kid suffers from autism. At first, I did not know what autism is until I found it out in my psychology and biolology classes. I determined that autistic children are born with gene disorder and cause them to have abnormal behavior and result in diability to interact with people in the society. In order to support my research topic, I would like to do surveys to investingate people's opinion with austic children's behavior as well as their understanding to this illness. I consider the reflection from survey questions will result in identifying how peopel in the society communicate with autistic children.

Paraphrase the passage.

Students generally contribute variety of quations directly from article in the research paper. According to Lester 1976, students are known to use 10% of direct quotation in their research paper. It is useless with too many quoations so it is crucial that students understand ways to raise their own ideas to the sources in order to avoid using over limit of quotation from articles.

Reflection to Gladwell's idea

1.Education and cultural exchange are the social epidemic change in my daily life and contribute myself to society. It is important to understand that connection of cultural exchange is very useful in community. People will be able to realize how valuable to submit eduction in life and have good cultural exchange. I can consider to tip this social epidemic when I generate ideas of connection with people around me and grab all critical things into myself. According to Galdwell, he mentioned that friends can be known by circling and well socialing.

2. The most influencial chapter by Gladwell is chapter 4 which talks about Bernie Goetz who committed crime by his spontaneous behavior. This is a good example that was created to tip us how to behave in public. It is unbelievable to see Goetz shot four young boys sensitively. He also stated that first impression isn't always right, we need evidence and passion to prove.

3. The tipping idea that can apply in my academic and personal life is stickiness factor that it would be helpful for me to persude people. I want to share my ideas to people and make them trust in me. It might be one piece of little information at first, but it can motivate people around.
