As of yesterday, I moved into my new apartment at Arizona State University, which will be my first time living with other roommates I did not know before. So far I am very anxious to see how it’s all going to benefit my social communication skills. The good thing is that I already have experience living by myself in a dorm, so I am already comfortable being away from my parents.

It’s a habit for everybody- hop into the car, turn on the radio, and listen to Star 101.5. Study for a test coming up the next day, turn on some music as background noise to get your mind working. Go to the gym, take your iPod with you for mental entertainment. Many people have simply acquired this habit, my family included. My mom always listens to music as she cooks dinner, my dad switches on the radio on in the car, and my sister listens to music as she studies for a class. But as for me, I do not do any of these things. In fact, I almost never listen to music at all.

Everybody is required to learn about history as they go through elementary school, middle school, and high school. They learn about the history of various countries around the world and why it is relevant to us today. They also learn about America's history and all of the important events and people that formed our country. Many of many of the people I grew up with seemed to grasp and understand the subjects we were learning, including the political issues concerning the government today. But as for me, I never paid any attention to history subjects, and today I can hardly recall anything I learned. I do remember my U.S. history classes talking about the Mayflower, the Westward movement, the signing of the Declaration of Independence, America's presidents, World War I, World War II, the Cold War, the Vietnam War, and many other subjects; but the details are as foggy to me now as they were at the time I was taught them.

I now begin my spring semester here at Arizona State University, after getting back from my winter break visit with my parents in Seattle. What's interesting was that while I was there, the experience of being back in my home state wasn't quite the same.

I have just finished my first semester here at Arizona State University, and while I have faced difficulties, challenges and feelings of loneliness, lots of great things have happened to me. Most of the things I faced were internal, others came on me unexpectedly. For instance, I've found a wonderful church to get plugged into and even went up to Prescott for a weekend with the college ministry. I got published in The State Press newspaper, I spoke at an event about my book and experiences with autism, and I got to spend time with several of my family members. The whole reason I picked this school in the first place is because it was so close to a lot of my family members (including my sister) and I wanted to get better connected with them. So far, it is going very well, if not exactly as I planned.

If you're like me, every few years growing up you would spend a good amount of time at a Disney theme park with your family, friends, sweetheart, or siblings.

I wanted to share with you a story idea I wrote in one of my classes at Arizona State as I continue to learn about screenwriting and film studies. Enjoy!

There are three different film majors here at Arizona State University, and I had to choose only one. Now, this was a decision I could not take lightly, because whichever one I picked, it would define what my whole career later on will become. Here are the three film majors offered by ASU: |
