I have reached a point in my life where I felt like I had fallen between the cracks. I wasn't aware of where life would take me or if I was following the correct path. What about which college I will go to or what career I will aim for? I have many questions followed by many unknown answers. Frustration got a hold of me. However, mid-way through my high school years, I began to reflect on my life. I gave time and thought into what my aspirations were and who I was as a person. Me being a self-conscious girl at a loss, began to reach from beneath the rocks and made a breakthrough with the help of two important people, my parents.
My parents took a huge part in helping me find what I wanted to pursue in. They always allowed me to make

As the daughter of Thang Tran and Mailoan Nguyen, I am filled with gratitude for everything that they do in their power to support me. They both moved from Vietnam to the United States to get away from harsh circumstances. Leaving their entire life behind, they slowly built a new one in the United States. About five years later, my parents opened a nail shop together and ran the business for over twenty years. This was the occupation that put food on the table, a roof over my head, clothes on my body, and many more things. My mom had always told me she preferred a whole different career path, but she did not know English to study in her desired occupation. She made a living off of doing nails for people to support a family of six. My parents are truly my inspiration. I came into the world with many opportunities on my back while my parents did not. Knowing the several sacrifices that my parents made for me will always push me to do better in life. In their hearts and in their minds, I can see that they want me and my siblings to live the life that could not have. When my aspirations become a success, I plan to give back to my parents for all that they have given me.
My mom gave birth to four kids, two girls and two boys. My older sister, Malanie, is one of the people I grew up learning from. Besides my parents, she is a big influence in my life. I followed every footstep of hers since I was
Alyson Gilbert Ms. Cooney English D Block 28 February 2024.

Kiana Perry Mrs. Seifert English 10 April 18, 2024. In the play Shakespeare, the main characters Macbeth and Lady Macbeth work their way from being common people to being King and Queen, doing whatever it takes to get there. Throughout the whole play, Macbeth goes through a lot of emotions, from being a coward to being cocky to being fearful. He was very cowardly in the beginning of the book in the sense of him not wanting to murder the Duncan the King and take the throne like Lady Macbeth wanted him to.
My parent have alway said to me, never to give up on what I'm trying to accomplish or the goal that I'm trying to reach even though if it seems impossible. That they will alway support me on anything that I want to do, maybe not financially wise because they will help the best they can. My whole life things were never just handed to me, I worked for them and some people tell me that my parents should do more for me that I shouldn't have to work so hard because I'm just 17 years old that I'll have the rest of my life to work, but I think differently because it made me realize life isn't just fun and games, it helped me mature faster then most kids, it also gave me life skills that will help me out in college and life after college.
If I ever showed an interest in thriving at something my parents made it possible. I
Entering into college, I wanted to do public health, but I wanted to be a doctor to please my father and to satisfy his hunger to have a doctor in his family. My father made sure his children went to college, and if they didn’t, it was clear they couldn’t stay in his house anymore. My parents struggled to support all of my siblings and supply each of us with everything we needed. I never realized the struggle until I got older and understood the value of money and time. My parents never wanted my brothers and I to work while we were in school, they wanted us to focus on our grades and activities that would help us get into college. Overall, the support from my family and seeing how hard my
My parents have always told me that I was smart enough to do whatever I want, but I think that there is a huge difference between ability and ambition. As a little girl in elementary school, my dad encouraged me to consider becoming a lawyer or a doctor when I was older. Despite my aptitude for music, performing, and the arts, my parents noticed in me a fiery and driven disposition since I first learned to speak. It was reasonable that my parents would want the best for me. My dad was an immigrant from Vietnam who worked his way to becoming an anesthesiologist. My mother studied her way out of poverty, becoming a pediatric dentist. Since I was old enough to understand their stories, I have always adored how far my parents have come with what
That there would be difficult moments where I would have to work my way up and work hard for the things that I wanted to accomplish. They always encouraged me to keep moving forward with new dreams to accomplish one after another. My parents did all this because they wanted a better future for me than the future that they had for themselves at first. I say at first because today my parents have proved to me that anything is possible. My father might not have completed school but he is exceptionally intelligent as a business agent, including being the best of the best in his own job. And my mother, what can I not say about her. She proved to me that it is never too late to accomplish your dreams by going to college and obtaining her G. E. D., and knowing her she will most likely continue to a degree. Seeing all the things that they can accomplish makes me proud to be their daughter because they bring me hope. Them having lofty standards for me, allowed me to keep working harder for my dreams and even setting high standards for myself. A 70% on my report cards or even progress reports were not permitted by my parents at all. And if they did appear, I had better be prepared for the big trouble that I was going to be in. As a child, I didn 't really understand what all the fuss was about. But then I realized, the reason why my parents insisted on me having such high grades as I do now was that they were looking
This artwork appears to be an abstract piece made from magazine clippings to create a collage. The artwork is a vertical piece that measures approximately 17 x14. It focuses in on the subject of a girl who is created out of neutral colors. She stands out against the rainbow background. In the background each clipping has a different element and pattern, but they all work in unison creating a rainbow background.
In this Institute Review Board-approved study, we queried 150,973 clinical notes for 10,486 patients aged 18+ years old with a history of IUD usage who underwent care at the University of Utah Health Care System (YR 2005-2009). These notes were filtered based on the type of users, which we limited to “physician” and “midwife.” We also excluded the notes with less than 80 characters, which are often incomplete copies. We plan to exercise our pipeline on the whole corpus, but For this preliminary study,it is not practical to have all of them annotated and evaluated. Thus, for the evaluation purpose of this preliminary study, we sampled 100 documents out offrom 9 patients from in this corpus as training set, and another 100 documents out
If you have some free time and have always wanted to visit an art gallery, a start is the Art Sacré exposition. Just do not expect high quality art. Running from October twenty-third to December eight-teenth at Les Salles de Gesù, the exposition features four artists depicting spirituality and inner self.
Analyzing art can be a necessity to every day life. It has importance beyond what people may think possible and can transform the way you interpret situations. The skills acquired from it are applicable to every day jobs such as: doctors, crime scene investigators, police officers, and any other jobs that require attention to minor details. The analysis of art can improve your communication skills to be beyond most of society's. It assists people by showing a new outlook to a situation and helps to see the inconsistencies of a certain scenario. For instance, it is essential for a doctor to be able to look at an x-ray and they be able to those inconsistencies and make an educated diagnosis for that patient. I have been to a few art museums in
I recently visited your gallery, and the collection you have installed shows that you have a clear interest in contemporary art. I respect your collection, but believe it would benefit greatly from some new and diverse subject matter. It is for this reason that I highly recommend you consider making the works of Titus Kaphar the next addition to your gallery.
The art piece that I chose to critique is the sculpture of a figure kneeling down and getting shocked. It is located on campus near the Morris University Center(muc). When I first saw this sculpture it caught my attention immediately, because of how gruesome the piece was. I feel like I don’t have a good understanding of what the sculpture represents, but it seems like it would raise plenty of controversy, due to its erotic features. It seems like the artist was venting his emotions when he created his idea. The sculpture is fairly large in size, which makes it noticeable, among the other art pieces on campus. The sculpture media consist of wood and concrete, and metal mostly. The individual is keeling down toward the west and is supported
At the beginning of this semester, I was not really sure what to expect. Going into this class, I wondered what the course would entail, and how well I would do because I have never been someone who has viewed themselves as being good at art. In saying this, however, throughout the course of this semester, I feel that I have truly grown; I have grown personally, as well as an educator, and for that I am grateful. I have really worked hard this semester and I have really tried to be openminded; openminded to new ideas, allowing myself to be vulnerable, and to try new things myself, and I feel that I have been able to do just that.
What is art? These three words have been at the heart of a debate that has lasted for thousands of years. From Plato and Aristotle to students and teachers in classrooms across the globe in 2017 the definition of art has been explored by millions, if not billions, of individuals. And yet, after centuries of debate and exploration, the concept of art is as ambiguous as ever. Throughout time many different schools of thought have attempted to define art and each has contributed an aspect to the commonly accepted characteristics of art. Formalism has defined that art exists in certain forms and these forms can be compared to one another, while expressionism dictates that art must come from a place of emotion in the artist and express emotion to the observer. Society and government have contributed ethical standards and measures to aid in the evaluation of aesthetic quality.
