that week at camp, I probably wouldn’t have had the courage to run for Secretary that upcoming school year.
I also attended camp in 2013 as a Level 2 camper. My second year at camp didn’t focus so much on teamwork, but more on my own potential, not only in Student Council, but in all aspects of my life. I learned that I alone have the power to make a difference. Level 2 really encouraged me to take risks, and that if I was passionate about something then I could make it happen. All in all, Level 2 showed me that I am capable of accomplishing amazing things, and that I shouldn’t be afraid to try new ideas.
All the people I have met through MASC and all the events I have participated in have inspired me in so many aspects of my life and encouraged me to continually try to better myself as a person and as a leader.

fantastic trait every person should have. My grandmother was a very dependable person, you could count on her for anything: cheerleading practices, graduations, doctors appointments, anything you needed her for she was there. There were eleven of us but she always maintained to appear where and when she was needed no matter the circumstances and I admired her for that and teaching me the importance of being dependable. It shows a lot in a person when you know that they will be there for you whenever they are needed.
My grandmother is a person whom I will always love and strongly admire. Without her life lessons and wisdom on how to love unconditionally, being dependable, avoid stressing over the small stuff, being a hard worker and be sure to make lots of memories with your family and loved ones, I would not be the person I am today. I hope that one day I can be such an admirable person as she was and teach my own children the things she showed me.

An airhead whose only response is "Ready?", "Okay!"; whose only physical coordination involves clapping her hands and stomping her feet. Obviously, not considered the brightest crayon in the box, right? She is just a pretty decoration standing on the sidelines, more worried about breaking a sweat, than about her team winning the game.

" And place your hands below your husband's foot. In token of which duty, if he please, my hand is ready, may it do him ease." Shakespeare has chosen to use submissive tone connotations such as 'ease' and 'duty' as a reminder of the roles both females and males had In the era, which suggests patriarchy was accepted and unchallenged.As an appropriation, "10 Things I Hate About You" represents the same ideas, though they are altered to suit the time and context.

Shakespeare portrays lively characters to depict these universal concepts and thus critiques the social conventions of patriarchal society.

In actual fact, preconceptions based on gender are considered to be discrimination and can have severe consequences.Overall, this play is about masculine assertiveness, game-playing and masculine ideas. Shakespeare's brilliant use of language is the key to the success of this play. Through Shakespeare's language, themes of love, power, status and deception are conveyed to the audience.There are many similarities between "The Taming of The Shrew" and "Ten Things I Hate About You".

In "The Taming of the Shrew" by William Shakespeare, and "Ten things I hate about you", directed by Gil Junger, both contexts reflect the society of when each text was composed. When comparing these two texts and observing the themes, it is indisputable that these contexts have shown the similarity and differences of the values during the time, thus, it shows the evolution of society.Firstly, "The Taming of the shrew" suggests money to be a very important necessity of life during the time. It is a suitor's economic consideration which acts as a determinant to who marries whom. Both Bianca and Katherine are viewed upon by their suitors as "treasures".

In doing so they each reflect the prevailing culture of the time they were composed.A modern audience has the opportunity to compare its society to those of the past, a prospect not offered to those of Elizabethan England.

This is achieved throughout the film successfully.
There are many obvious connections between shakespeare’s work and the screen adaptation, for example; in ‘The taming of the shrew’ Bianca is not allowed to date boys until her sister, Catarina does. This was tradition of the time period, as Catarina was the eldest sister. Similarly, in ’10 things i hate about you’ Bianca cannot date until her sister Kat does. This was a rule strictly
