Who You Are Matters

 I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. While I moved around a lot within Las Vegas, it is my home and where my family and friends are from. 



After I graduate, I would like to stay in California and pursue entrepreneurship. I enjoy working with kids so I would like to pursue something that allows me to fulfill this passion. I will continue to explore different industries with children to see where there is a gap that I can fill. I currently run a club called Lemonade Day that educates children on business at local elementary schools. Through experiences like this one I will explore different opportunities to pursue.




 I am similar to my dad as we share similar attitudes about education, work ethic, and ambition. We are wired in a similar way. However, I am unlike my dad as I am more sensitive to people's emotions, needs, and feelings. 



I strongly feel that I have my own expectations for myself. I know the standards that I hold myself to and what I would like to achieve. This is defined by my own goals, intrinsic motivation, and personal life balance. While I am aware that others have their opinions and advice, I listen but ultimately do what I think is best for myself.


 My best friend's mother serves as a role model for me as someone who lives life with great passion and responsibility. She has had a difficult life and is a single mother of three. Despite her adversities, she continues to be the strongest person I know. She inspires me to overcome anything that comes my way. No matter what she has going on in her personal life, she continues to provide an amazing life for her children and work in a field that she loves. 


I feel a special connection with hawk. They are able to soar above the world and separate themselves from everything and everyone. They can look at things from a holistic perspective. Whenever I feel overwhelmed I try to detach and look at things from a bird's eye perspective. 


When I was younger, my dad would work at his medical practice while my sister and I played around the building and waited for him to finish. There was this tree in the front of the building that my sister and I would love to climb and sit at the top for hours on end. We fought a lot as kids, but when we were at then top of this tree we would talk, laugh, and lose track of time. I felt the closest to my sister when we were in that tree together.

    Ariya, I love what you said able the hawk and how they are able to have a wider perspective on things. I also really liked your story about the tree you and your sister would play on when you were younger.

    I love your club's logo! Also, my high school's mascot was a hawk and "soar above the rest" was our slogan.

    I loved that you chose a hawk as a spirit animals and i chose a bird too for the similar reason of how they have the ability to be free and it must be so calming to fly .

    I'm a Scorpio too! Something I love about us Scorpios is that we are some of the most passionate and love consuming people where we will choose loyalty over anything.

    I enjoyed listening to your story about sharing laughs with your sister around the tree at your dad's office. When my younger brother and I would wait for my dad to finish up his work, we would hangout, talk, and laugh too, however our relationship has definitely changed as we both grew up.

    sidenote: Were you named after the Aria hotel by chance?

Investment Proposal Final

Image
  To:  Clark Hansen, CEO of AMDP From:  Ariya Nathu, Research and Development Analyst for AMDP Date:  March 10 th , 2023  Subject:  Investment Proposal of Lush Ltd.    After considerable research and analysis, I recommend that AMDP  does not invest  in Lush Ltd. Lush is a cosmetics company that continuously presents themselves as a socially responsible and environmentally friendly business. However, after further investigation, they are not transparent or as dedicated to their standards as they advertise. The company does not align with AMDP standards.      I will first highlight the guidelines that AMDP holds itself to. I will then present Lush’s background, financials, and claims about their sustainable and ethical standards. I will provide two expert sources that uncover the reality of Lush’s environmental and socially responsible practices. Finally, I will present my final recommendation.      AMDP Guide...

World We Dare to Imagine Pt. 1

When I read this quote, my immediate thought was that we all have a social responsibility to each other. Some of us are blessed to be born into a world with more than enough essential resources and necessities to survive. On top of that, we have opportunities, education, fun, hobbies, passions, and so many other privileges. However, some are born into a reality where they fight daily to survive. They are born into worlds without basic rights, freedoms, or opportunities.  Those of us born with privilege need to recognize what we have and the blessings we have been afforded. However, it is not enough to recognize and be thankful for what we have. We need to adopt the mentality that it is all of our job to fight for those who might not have a voice but need help. We are all on this planet together but live drastically different lives. We must use our privilege to create a better world for all of us. The way I would like to be a better global citizen is to first start by learning and l...

Random Post 2: The Hunger Games and 2020

The Hunger Games has been some of my favorite movies for a long time now. I do not want to admit how many times I have seen them. All you need to know is that I pretty much have the script memorized. It is possible that during Covid, I watched them on a loop as I recovered from an injury. As I was watching, I started to notice a suspicious similarity between the events in the movies and the events of 2020. One similarity is the theme of social and economic inequality. In The Hunger Games , the people of the districts are oppressed and impoverished, while the ruling elite in the Capitol live in luxury. In 2020, the Black Lives Matter protests emphasized the injustice and systematic racism that exists in this country. People took to the streets and risked their lives to fight for what they believed in. Citizens all over the country stood up and showed up for this cause. In The Hunger Games, similar activism and the fight against injustice took place. Citizens began to fight against the o...
