especially after learning the financial aspects and growth patterns in each field. Overall, all of these careers can have bright outlooks with time, patience, and expierence, however I think the best fields –including the benefits, would be Nutrition and Interior/Graphic design. Nutrition is an aspect in life that affects all, a concept that is incorporated into everyone’s daily lives, and in all sense, is the thing that keeps all alive. As research has shown that people that follow a health dietary guideline can prolong life expectancy, mood, and relieve stress. Lastly, Interior/Graphic design falls into the artistic side of myself. Interior design has always been something I have been interested in, as when I get bored, I create boards of home ideas on Pintrest- rooms (bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, etc.). For some reason I find it very therapeutic. Graphic design also happens to fall into my right-sided brain, and has always been a technique of interest. Meta-Analysis/ Kuder Reflection Nutrition, Interior/Graphic design have been the career pathways that have stuck me after this research project, especially after learning the financial aspects and growth patterns in each field. Overall, all of these careers can have bright outlooks with time, patience, and expierence, however I think the best fields –including the benefits, would be Nutrition and Interior/Graphic design. While these three fields of expertise are polar opposites on dealing with health/sciences and…

In today’s modern world owning a house or a place to call home has been more difficult to obtain, since affordability has decreased, especially in the cities. Portland, Oregon is an example of the occurring situation and because of its popularity the area has become highly populated. A place is only worth as…

them and were forced to foreclose. Why were so many thousands of people forced to resort to this you ask? When the economy bottomed out, they lost everything and could no longer even afford to support their families or live in their homes. Today, many thousands of those victims of foreclosures have since turned into potential homebuyers. Today, just 5 or 6 years after the economy took such a large hit, it has reached record heights. The real estate market is still difficult to buy for…

“Something is missing. (MacLachlan 36)” Sarah told Caleb. My family and friends were over three hours away, consequently; they are not as accessible to me as they were before. I felt deserted and I was home sick, just as Sarah did two weeks into her visit. I underestimated how hard it was for me going off to college, but as time progressed things began to get enjoyable. Instead of continuously dwelling on the point that I missed my family and friends, I started to look at the glass half-full and…

what is described by Judy Brady in her satirical essay, “I Want a Wife” but also different to what she describes. An example of how she is different and also similar in the essay by Judy Brady would be, “I want a wife who cooks the meals, a wife who is a good cook. I want a wife who will plan the menus, do the necessary grocery shopping, prepare the meals, serve them pleasantly, and then do the cleaning up while I do my studying.” (590). While she is a housewife, she is not a typical housewife.…

My first week at OIT was rough. The physical environment was alien, my emotions were like a rollercoaster, and I had trouble with my friend groups. Luckily the best therapy was time. My home was one thing that never changed in my life. I lived in the same house since I was one-year-old. I know that house like I built it. Moving into my own room, five far hours away, was a freaky idea. On campus I was immediately shocked by the crisp wind chill whipping off Klamath lake. I was fascinated by the…
