How You Remind Me

creative and smart. I have good and bad qualities. I am human. I chose two types of media to show these “I am characteristics” and that I believe represent me in a positive way. I chose a photograph of a woman sculpture carved onto a rock on a coast. For choosing my image, I started off by researching images on the internet that were motivational and inspirational. However, most of the images that appeared were inspirational quotes or biblical verses. I eventually found some landscape photographs and I picked this I first was drawn to it…

What an outlandish thought, to find nature so unnerving. I had been so preoccupied by my own devices that I hadn 't noticed a small girl on a crumbling concrete stoop, her eyes intently focused on me . Her attention followed me as my body weaved through people like water over stones, a gift only New Yorkers possessed. I was drawn to her, naturally. The way her hair fell like waves pulling out to sea, the harsh wind whipping it from her face. How…

back my tears. The Hundred Greek Names Project is due tomorrow. Although the name makes it sound like there are only 100 essays to write, there are actually one-hundred eight, and I am on number eighty-five. Not only that but the rain outside is not helping. It is only making me want to quit and go to bed even more than I already do. I look around the room and take a deep breath. I do not have time to breathe. I am sort of in a time crunch. Yet I also know that if I do not take a moment to relax…

moving. However, my skills weren’t good enough for me to understand and talk to my teachers and peers. I struggled for a long time to fit in. Everything to me was unfamiliar. Beside having a difficult time to understand the new language, I was also having a hard time to getting used to other aspects of the new culture. However, as other teenageres, I had big dreams that I wanted to achieve. I decided to try hard to be fluent in English. When I just started school, I was put into an ELD class.…

beaten, but that made it all the more appealing to me. That bag already had a life without me. Maybe it was some drug runner's money bag. Maybe it had belonged to a spy who'd used it undercover and had no more need of it. But whoever it was liked strawberry chapstick. I found a half finished one in the bottom along with some old gum wrappers and crumbs of some sort. I myself preferred mint though. Mint anything- gum, chapstick; cookies, mint in general. That sharp scent that would leave a…

Sphero races At the beginning of the school year my teacher got 12 sphero robots, for us kids to use in the classroom. With these robots you can drive them around, paint with them, and also drive them in water. For the beginning few months we just drove the sphero s around and got to know how they worked. But now were getting to the end of the year so we decided that we are going to use the sphero s to race in a kitty pool that our class won from an achevie 3000 contest. Our…

Frank Abagnale shined because of his great capacity to cheat and elude authoritarian figures such as police officers, bankers, and corporations. Another of the requirements to be an outlaw hero is “the outlaw hero outwits, eludes, and escapes the authorities, usually with flair, often in disguise” (Seal, 74). Leonardo DiCaprio, who represented Frank Abagnale in the movie Catch Me If You Can have said “I was playing a great actor… But his stage was the real world. He's somebody that for whatever…

but in fact it can only be achieved through sacrifice, risk-taking and hard work. Catch me if you can, is a true story based on Frank Abagnale Junior’s life.…

Lower level hosts would sometimes lose money while higher level hosts profited big time. It also required very high margins and ultimately Symons and Berger saw that this type of model would give most of the profit to the hosts rather than the survivors, the people who they originally started the company for. 9. What examples of Compassionate Capitalism did you see in the case study? The most obvious and major one was the social programs set up by Made by Survivors. They created jobs and…
