JAF Personal Statement
-
paragraph 1
Many arguments could be resolved, or at least calmed down, simply with a mediator/translator who put phrases in clear terms.
-
paragraph 2
My parents don’t argue often. However, there was one time a disagreement devolved into them raising their voices and talking over each other
They realized that their views were not as wide apart as they had thought, and were able to devise a compromise they could both accept.
paragraph 3
I was invited to work with a team of other students on a video game project over a week for the Brackey's Game Jam 2025.1 contest
We were able to make decisions as a team and move forward to complete the project by the end of the week.
paragraph 4
After a while, I just accepted that he could not be convinced and left him to live in his own world.
One time I encountered another student who didn’t believe that humans caused climate change to any considerable extent
paragraph 5
Although I attend a performing and visual arts school and therefore haven’t met many people who disagree with me politically or ethically very much, I am aware that interaction with such people is inevitable
However, understanding is not always possible, especially with some more extreme beliefs, and I know that removing myself from the interaction is sometimes the best option.
conclusion
I can grasp that my understanding of these kinds of human interactions is incomplete, but I continue to work on it every day.
No matter where I end up going in the future, I hope to help everyone around me work together better.
