‘Sometimes I think I 'm crazy because I 'm different from everyone else.’ with this quote constantly running through my mind, I personally understood what Madrid meant when he said that the Other”results in us feeling excluded, or even disdained and scorned.” As a child I always felt as if I played the role of the other. I was different in ways such as loving to learn, and being an overly outgoing person with different points of view, and as a result; I found that other children were quick to single me out of their groups. Very few ever accepted me for who I was, and I was rarely included in any activities with others, unless it was forced by another. When I turned seven, my family had to move to Texas because of my father 's line of work. With this, I thought I finally had a chance to try an fit in with the crowd. However, I was highly disappointed with the results of that move. I still remember the first day of school . Even though I tried to act as though I was the same as everyone else, I was met with the same result, and was viewed as this completely alienated creature that others seemed to avoid. No matter how hard I tried to change my look, emotions, or actions the results were never good. Absolutely nothing had changed. Over the years I’ve managed to gain a few friends who have seemingly accepted who i am as a person. However, to this day the feeling of the other, remains and every once in awhile, I come face to face with the loneliness that comes…

I woke up to the irritating ring of my alarm, the smell of French toast lingering through the air, and the feeling of a spider crawling up my arm. It started out like any other day, but little did I know that this day was going to be a day to remember. I woke up early that day so that I could get revenge on my sisters and make them feel an icy cold shower while I felt the heat of a hot shower. The shower, however, was freezing because my sisters had the same idea as me. The shower that day was…

It was then I felt my true power surge through me. I should back up a little in time and tell you how I got to this point. It all started right before I woke up. I met someone who changed my life. The darkness felt dreadful like a thousand deaths. Almost the same as a never ending cave. I couldn’t move or talk. I felt suffocated. My breathing was heavy and I could feel tears forming. Suddenly there was a dim light as it got closer, it got brighter until it was close enough to realize it was a…

In the market, companies are always fighting to get new and more customers. These companies don’t sell the same products but there’s still a rivalry between them : who’s going to attract the most customers. That’s the case of these two companies : Apple and Activision, which both of them produce technology supplies to customers : electronic goods for the first company and for the second, video games. Both of these companies’s ad are videos, but they show different approaches of advertising.…

with the name first, but it surely does fit our feelings for the town. Growing up in Tillamook, I start to notice more and more of the horrifying damage the rain water and rivers do to our town. According to the Tillamook County Department of Community Development, "DO NOT ENTER FLOOD WATER!" flood…

snowpack melt in the summer. During upwelling events nutrient rich ground water would be brought up to the surface layers. If there is a spike in nutrient levels without any rainfall and low water temperature and low dissolved oxygen were observed, it usually implies to upwelling events. Upwelling can be localized and could also bring up the resting cysts of harmful plankton. Upwelling at known hotspots would lead to a bloom event during favorable conditions. A discrete sample was collected from…

Due to the flooding in Lower Onion Creek, Eric Rangel, 17, had to drop out of school due to the financial burden that flooding has imposed on his family. The Lower Onion Creek area flooded twice, once on October 31, 2013, and October 30, 2015. Many Lower Onion Creek residents are living in condemned homes five months after the latest flood. Eric Rangel said after the floods, the city condemned his home. His home was no longer inhabitable, and his family had to seek other shelter options.…

Downstream of dams, marked changes in fish populations occur as a consequence of blockage of migration routes, disconnection of the river and floodplain, and changes in flow regime, physiochemical conditions, primary production and channel morphology(McCartney, 2009, pg. 128). Due to the changes in the fish population caused by dams, the 1996 International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Animals includes 617 freshwater fishes (McCartney, 2009, pg.128). Fresh water…

How long have people been fishing, not only for fun, but as a source of food? The answer, thousands of years, in “Egyptian artwork from 2000 B.C. shows people fishing” ( Hopkins 6). It is surprising, yet understandable knowing that even ancient people fished. It would of been an easy source of food. The lakes, rivers, streams, etc. were all full of a diverse population of fish, which would of made fish an easy meal to catch and eat. They were the first people to begin fishing so the…

The dam we are planning to build will not only help the environment it will slow down global warming and grow more crops for human consumption. This dam can also be used for irrigation purposes like growing crops for humans and animals alike. You can also use this water as clean drinking water. The salmon population will maintain similar to what was before because ninety-seven percent still survive. It will slow down global warming by not having us burn coal for energy creating greenhouse gases…
