It is a Memory dedicated to Keith, an Iron Worker whom I met on 9-13-01 struggling to get to my triage location on W. 34th Street in NYC. I have met Keith briefly, and I hope wherever he is today, that he is ok. On that day, mid-morning, around 10:45am, I was cleaning up a wound on the arm of a firefighter, wrapping the gash with sterile pads. I washed his eyes with sterile water and wiped the tears off his cheeks, as the firefighter shook and sobbed in talking about his friends and colleagues at the Eng.55, Bat.2 363 Broome St. He explained that he lost 2 of his close friends there, hit by rubble

There were many surprising happenings throughout the semester. One of the most unexpected events occurred during my summative leadership activity. A certain
One of the speakers at the school board meeting was Laura Root. Her job was to name all of the funds spent and made by the school district, which took longer than most other things that happened during the meeting. Dan Aaker mentioned all the sports teams and how they did to the board, and addressed the fact that the football team is getting new white jerseys. Brian Naasz talked about the elementary-school and about adding a shower to it for handicapped students. Gerald Witte talked about the high-school; mentioning the upcoming prom. The board later approved a calendar and acknowledged resignations.
Emerson was really nervous now. She glanced over at the dugout and saw her teammates up against the chain-link fence. She kept telling herself “I can do this...I can do this…” as she watched the pitcher step up to the mound. She loaded up her swing and went for it. She felt something, she had made contact! She thought to herself as she rounded first base, “it’s gone” and it was! The whole field broke into a thunder of cheers. As she rounded third base and saw her teammates and coaches waiting for her, she screamed “for Jess!” and the whole team screamed “for Jess!” as Emerson pounced on home plate. After all the cheering was over and the girls shook each other’s hands, someone came over the intercom and said “Wildcats for the champion!
On Monday,October 14, 2013 at 7:00 P.M., I attended the Bradford Area School District school board meeting at Floyd C. Fretz Middle School in the large group instruction room. This meeting was important for the teachers, students, and the schools in the district. It provided information that correlated to the material in class and a perspective on what situations as a future teacher I may experience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.” Emerson is a firm believer of maintaining self-reliance and values rather than following the crowd. He also explains that in order to be truly successful in life, a person must make decisions and trust in his or her judgment. In today’s society, teenagers are more likely to not be self-reliant because the teens feel they will be judged for having different beliefs. People today need to realize that they should not conform to be like the rest of the world, they must not depend on the judgment and criticism of others, and people must refuse to travel somewhere in order to forget their personal problems. Through Emerson’s piece, readers are able to
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Every particular in nature, a leaf, a drop, a crystal, a moment of time is related to the whole, and partakes of the perfection of the whole.”
Should we listen to other people’s ideas? Ralph Waldo Emerson argues that we should rely on ourselves, on our own philosophies, and that we believe that what is true for us is true for all (Emerson 88). David Bohm, on the other hand argues that we should instead be open to other people’s ideass, as “communication can lead to the creation of something new only if people are able freely to listen to one another, without prejudice, and without trying to influence each other” (Bohm 13). I personally believe that Emerson is correct. I believe that if we do not stay true to our own ideas, but instead open up and take note of other ideas, our own principles will become convoluted.
