I made the decision to further my education because I did not want to end up like my older brother. He did not finish high school and also never got his GED. I see him going through numerous jobs and struggling throughout his life financially. Also, my senior year in high school I was assigned a college advisor. He discussed with me all the options I had when it came to applying for different colleges. The best advice he gave me was one that I regret not taking into consideration. He told me that
My decision to go back to school in the fall of 2012 was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. I’m a stay at home mom of 4 boys with 2 of them being special needs. My oldest was born with a rare genetic condition called hereditary spastic paraplegia and my youngest son was born with a rare condition called Dravet Syndrome that requires 24/7 care. I was at a point in my life where I had lost my identity of who I was and I wanted to be me again. I made that important decision to go back
Leaving Grand Rapids will be the greatest decision I will ever make in my life… Or so my conscience told me that It will be. I’m presently torn apart with the choice I made, yet I was hoping that I could mend my emotions quickly. To clearly explain my situation, two sides of my inner voices are battling right now; One is saying that I should stay – since Michigan was the place I stayed most of my life; It was the only locality in which I made a bunch of lively and depressing moments that were meant
Located in the Western Hemisphere, is a small beautiful island populated by people from all around the world. Unfortunately, this country and its people have suffered a great amount in multiple ways, ranging from devastating natural disasters to violent political regimes. In addition to those issues, this country is home to around one million orphans, constituting about 1/11th of its population. As a native of this poor country, I feel that it is my duty to aid as many of those lonely kids as possible;
When I was ten years-old, my life changed profoundly. Everything my life had consisted of was suddenly separated from me by a fourteen-hour plane-ride. My family’s decision to move to South Korea to accommodate my father’s job would prove to have an immense effect on my character and leadership abilities. One thing I missed the most about America was horseback riding. In America, I had volunteered at a riding program for disabled children and missed it greatly. I sought out a place I could continue
made the decisions I chose that got me here. These t-shirts will tell you about my last years of high school, why I decided to attend where I did, winning and placing at state and national competitions for SkillsUSA (that is a partnership of students, teachers, and industry working together to ensure America has a skilled workplace), all the way up to my decision for attending two different colleges within a year. I have faced some struggles but I always pushed through because of the decisions I made
I am incredibly disappointed in the decision to close the Tualatin Haggen which has been a part of the Tualatin community for many years. Our Haggen has been around for my entire life and I always feel at home when I go there; a feeling I believe I share with many of its other customers. I'm friends with many of the employees and am incredibly saddened to hear that almost all of them will have no place to work after the store closes. The people who work there are some of the kindest and hardest
Making the decision to become a collegiate athlete was not one of ease. Having participated in sports my whole life, I was used to the commitment it took to play and could see myself continuing my career after high school. However, collegiate athletics is in no way similar to high school or travel club sports. No matter what division played, the sport is very intense and requires individuals to commit on an entirely new level. I had played field for six years before I went to college. Of those
Personal Comments Residing in a Swiss conference-room, etched with a Mahogany interior and touched with a faintly Modern flare, rests the decision-making organ of the World Health Organization(WHO)—the World Health Assembly(WHA). The Assembly, which convenes annually every May in Geneva to debate the international health agenda, may cover topics that vary from the Pacific SARS crisis to the Zika virus epidemic. Tasked as a delegate from the NCD Alliance—which aims to strengthen international health
The Importance of Personal Responsibility GEN/200 As an adult you are responsible for every action that you take, but before that action are a series of thoughts that lead you to taking that action. Your personal responsibility starts at a young age, you are either taught personal responsibility as you grow into an adult by being held accountable of your own actions or the responsibility is taken from you.
