My name is Cody Peters, and I am a fourth year student, currently at Capilano University. I was born in, and have always lived in, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. While I have traveled quite a bit for someone who is 25 years old, I always end up back on the 49th<\/sup> parallel; Vancouver is my city, and I hope to live here for the majority of my life. I love everything about my home town, including its problems and unfortunate history. I feel that I can say this with a level of confidence because of my academic history within the study of anthropology, especially surrounding the issues and history surrounding Vancouver\u2019s involvement in First Nations affairs throughout its history. I accept these problems as my own, as I am as much a part of them as I am a part of this city. Its history is my history, and its problems are also my problems. I have a responsibility to learn about our collective past, and make an effort to address and work through them as a part of our future.<\/p>\n

I consider myself to be somewhat of a social outlier, as I associate myself with both Punk and Metal-Head subcultures, and therefore am somewhat out of the mainstream. That said, I do not consider myself to be at odds with the rest of society that surrounds me, and consider myself to be very much a part of Canadian and Vancouverite culture. I do believe that this association with somewhat counter-culture ideologies does affect my academic and social lives, and I find that it can lend me an interesting perspective into both academic and social interactions. My social circle is by no means restricted by this either, and I happily associate with anyone that shows an interest in having me around and interacting with myself and others. I value most people\u2019s ideas and opinions, even if they are contrary to my own, because I realize that their worldviews and beliefs differ from my own, and that mine are in no way superior to theirs.<\/p>\n

I am increasingly interested in the fields of Anthropology and English Literature and Literary Analysis, and am endeavoring to pursue a career as a university English professor. In this regard, I enjoy academia and look forward to academic challenges and new modes of thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
