Losing two of my best friends within six months of each other was one of the hardest things I have had to do. They were a major part of my life for almost 17 years, before they left. Through this experience, I learned to be an example of kindness, hard work, and diligence for those around me. My two older sisters have always been an inspiration to me in several different ways. They were both kind and caring to everyone they came in contact with. This left an impression on me that has lasted over a year now. When they departed, a year ago, I noticed the absence of love in my life. I felt as if everything around me was empty and secluded, and noticed it in others as well. Feeling that way caused me to take action and I now try my best to fill in the empty space for others. I do my best to listen and help everybody that I come in contact with. I keep a warm smile on my face because I know from experience with my role model sisters that this small, almost unnoticeable act, can change the whole attitude of a day. Learning to be kind has come to be a positive force in my life since they left. …show more content…
Attempting this has taught me to work hard at the things that make me happiest. Personally, working hard to make others happy is what brings me the most joy. But along with helping others, I have learned to help myself work through my own problems. This can be academically, physically, or even spiritually. Since their departure, I have worked harder to keep my grades up because I want them to be proud of me when they come home. The negative experience of them leaving me has turned into a positive personal motivation, to put in hard work and do my best all the
All sports require time and dedication to a certain extent. Dance has been my passion and weekend activity since I was three and became a very serious thing from seven to around twelve. I danced at a studio until I entered middle school at K.O. Knudson and dance was my major. I left K.O. and moved to Summerlin where I now attend Palo Verde. I received dance as my elective, being weary about the class considering I was also recovering from a back injury even during my time at K.O. and on top of that knowing I was loosing all of my skill from being absent forever and a day.
I do this for the ones who sing in the shower instead of a stage. with the heart of a poet filled with
The quote Alice Walker once stated, "For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged" is a valuable saying and I totally relate with it. What freedom means to one may not be the same for another and has a personal meaning. Fear is an obstacle to freedom and progress. As clouds need to be blown away to reveal the sunlight, the cloud of fear should be torn apart to feel the warmth of freedom. This quote reminds me of a time when my fear of falling apart of my family and underestimating my academic potentials were inhibiting me from enjoying the freedom of stepping into the path of higher education until I decided to join Morgan State University, because no one was going to free me unless I free myself.
I found this week’s reading in the course text on custom fitting shotguns to be quite interesting because I’ve almost always had a shotgun in my home, but I’ve never done any work to customize the scatter guns I’ve owned… I think That’ll be changing pretty soon. Prior to getting into shotguns in this course I never had an idea as to how some custom work could enhance the performance of a shotgun. I knew there was a ton of work that could be done, but because I was never really into wing shooting or whatnot I never saw how it might help me out.
Making cautious decisions are very critical right now; I have no choice but to get to higher ground because there are six people left in the game including my teamate and I. We are pushing to a moutain when suddenly we hear gunshots coming from our southeast. I yell at my teammate tell him that there is two enemys to our north and one to our southeast. We come to an agreement that we are going to push the hill to our west to take the higher ground but the enemy is playing with perfect tactics to make sure that he pushes us with great force. I could tell that the person we were faceing was great at the game and played at a very high skill level. As I am running to the mountian to the west, my teammate decides he wants to face the person that
Admittedly, I've done a lot of things that others would consider abhorrent. I've also been subject to things that others would consider abhorrent but after 12,000 deaths you start to know what's a 'good' way to die and what isn't. I've had my head removed by plasma coated blades, I've been hit by 80GJ Compressed Railguns (you don't feel it), and I've felt what it is like to hold a Locus Grenade in the hand for too long.
men like to demonstrate mastery and command over a subject, especially if it enables them to improve their social
Injuries are a big part of life and happen to everyone. I was at home watching USA basketball Blue vs White scrimmage. It was very entertaining. All the best NBA stars scrimmaging and going back and forth had to be entertaining. One of the best players, Paul George, jumped to block a shot but landed with his foot/lower leg caught between the base of the goal and the floor. It was very gruesome. His leg was at a 90 degree angle and he was in so much pain that he couldn’t move.I continued to watch Paul George and his rigorous training that he went through. He kept going and going. I thought to myself, “dang, this man has terrific will and mental toughness”. He was like a wild animal hunting for the prey. Except his prey was to make it back into
“Will she ever be okay?” are the words that invested within me through every minute that passed. I could not help but think the world was falling in around me and nothing would relieve the pain. My daughter had something terribly wrong, and all I could do was sit and wonder the outcome of this horrific event. The world around me began to feel suffocating as if there was no way out. I brought this precious life into this world with the mindset that I could guard her from all the cruelty and darkness. My body grew weak with each thought that crept in my mind and I could feel the chills running down my back each time the doctor came with an update. Despite everything that could go wrong, I never stopped believing that with prayer I was not fighting
I think today went really well! I had the same patient as last week so I think that after last week and not knowing what to expect today I was much more confident and comfortable with the process. I was way more comfortable with giving the medications and how to document on her MAR. One positive learning experience from today was in the post discussion I learned a lot about different types of laxatives and how they differ. Additionally, I learned why a lot of geriatrics are put on a laxatives.
Did you know that the idea of New Year’s Resolutions came from the ancient Babylonians, around 4000 years ago. They actually celebrated it around May, when crops were planted, they made offerings to the gods, promising to pay off debts and things such as. This was also a way to show loyalty to the king and the gods. Today this tradition, although changed, still continues. With over 78 percent of Americans celebrating it, a lot of resolutions are made. Some of my own include training Spanky, fixing my truck, and getting my driver's license.
“I’m the one that’s got to die when I have to die so let me live life the way that I want to.” (Jimi Hendrix). This quote inspired me to do everything that I do to the fullest because life is short. This quote is a great quote because it sums my entire life up in under 25 words. I am writing this letter so that I will be able to help you get to know me as a student and as a friend better. I can’t wait to start this school year off so that I can learn how to do so many different things and help me in areas that I need help on.
It's the beginning of summer, and Marilyn was really excited. Her plans were to go to the beach and have some fun out of the city but something was going happened to her plans.

Marilyn was going to do everything she could do to not let her vacations plans get ruined especially because her aunt was coming over.First thing she wanted to do is to try to convince her parents to go to the beach and include her aunt.
I was born and raised in Vietnam at the years 1987, and my generation is a generation Y which is between 1981 and 2000. The generation Y is the most challenger generation because it is the generation right after the war end. Since I was born, I have been taught to be responsible with the family, archive the highest education, and completion with the other. Those make me feel that I can control the world and me feel that I am the best because my family lay a lot of hope and expectation on me.
I was snapped out of my trance by the return of the chairwoman’s voice. “Thank you all for your ideas.” Her eyesight shifted towards me. “Ms. Cohen, do you have anything else to add?”
