MAYA ANGELOU

Question2) I personally think I do have the ability to triumph over diversity because I do it every day with sports to push myself harder and harder to get better. I also am an A+ tutor and I help out with the special ED classes fourth block. It was a challenge at first but I have learned how to deal with them in a respectful manner and help them get a good education like everybody else.  They have taught me a lot to because they don’t care what other people think of them and they are always nice no matter what.

Question5) I could not live like Angelou did when she was young and didn’t talk for five years.  I am a very vocal person and have to be able to talk or I start to freak out. Another reason is I care a lot about what other people think of me and if I didn’t talk for that long people might start to think I’m weird because the don’t get to know me so they would assume that I was a creeper. I would grow more as a person if I could speak because I’ll be able to meet new people go new places and grow as a person because of it.

Question7) I can have “total recall” at times where I remember stuff no one else can. But that is usually with events and not information. I lack the ability to remember phone numbers, people’s names, and math. But I can remember most of the events in my life fairly clear. I feel it would be better to forget things because if you screw up that event won’t hold you back in the long run. I think too much and if I fail once then it stays in my head and I can’t forget it until I get it done right.

Question8) when she talks about the difference in truth and fact I think she means that if it’s a fact is always there it is proven and defined by our state of mind and if somebody disputes it then we can argue its legitimacy. Truth is what we believe is true and there is no facts to prove if it is right or wrong just what we want to be it is. I personally believe that they aren’t the same because one is proven and the other is more of an opinion.
