Hilda is an 85-year-old Hispanic senior citizen who suffers from arthritis, high blood pressure and diabetes type 1. When Hilda was younger, she enjoyed cooking, cleaning and working. As of now, Hilda is no longer able to do all these things because her advanced arthritis prevents her from going outside. Many senior citizens like Hilda are homebound, incapable of cooking or taking proper personal care. Homebound elders feel helpless because they are isolated from society and depend on home-based care programs.…
The Inheritance of Tools is based about a family and a hammer that has been passed down through generations. A father taught his son how to hammer, his son taught his son, and his son taught his daughter. Sadly, in the story the father dies one morning due to his heart quitting. Tools are very important in this story because you need them to build any type of building. While researching the author Scott Russell Sanders, I found he was born in Memphis, Tennessee.…
During the writing of my “Fahrenheit 451” and Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” Analysis, I began by first, thinking out my ideas, to put together an essay that would be understandable to myself, the people reviewing my essay, and lastly, my teacher. You are needing a thesis to get your point situated right in front of the readers’ eyes so he or she doesn’t get bewildered while reading. In almost any standardized essay however, your maximum length for a thesis is at most, needing to be one sentence. Even though, you're evidently going to need to write more to get the introduction that is impeccable, but simple.…

Hi Josi, Good post. I myself have struggled a bit with intext citations, but thanks to the library, I am quickly learning. The library at GCU makes everything accessable with ease, helping the student save his or her time. I have really enjoyed the writing process, and learning all the key elements such as the hook, and the thesis statement, which I have learned to be argurably the 2 most crucial elements. Good luck with your essay, looks like you have a good understanding of writing.…

The year was 1942, the United States of America and Mexico had finally came to an agreement of the Emergency Labor program, which became known as the Bracero Program. (Acuña, 2011, p. 253) The Bracero Program was a reference to the mighty arms , which were also known as “brazos”, of the Mexican men who worked in the labor fields throughout the west and southwest of the United States. This program has allowed U.S. industries, mostly agricultural, to temporarily employ hundreds of thousands of Mexican Workers during wartime labor shortages. (Hendrickson, 2016,p.192)…
The quick profile tool provided by Career Beam was one of the best tools I have used, including profile tools provided by the military. I was completely surprised with how accurate the profile addressed my strengths and personality. I do not believe I could argue with any of the findings it came up with from the questions I answered. Furthermore, it has pinpointed the industries and areas of interest I have been the most interested in after my career in the military.…
Safinaz Elhadary Professor Massimo Verzella ESL 15 12 December 2016 Dear Dr. Massimo, At the beginning of the semester, I had many goals and objectives for this class. I wanted to become a more sophisticated reader that could critically analyze any piece of writing. I also wanted to be a more flexible writer.…
I'm very impressed that you work at a pediatric emergency room. I can imagine you see all sorts of horrible and sad things and I respect you so much for being able to stay calm in those situations and offer your help! That is such an important and valuable place to work and I think it takes a special kind of person who has the right amounts of strength, patience, and caring. You should be proud.…

Learning can be interpreted in many ways to different individuals, although to me learning is about gaining knowledge and embracing every experience encountered and linking it to any task. Also I would explain that being open minded is a strong attribute to apply during the learning process. During my week one I stated that learning is to open and broaden an individual’s mind on subjects to gain knowledge or skills, and I’ve grown to realize its more than that. People can learn using different methods and be more responsive to one rather than the other. I am a Strong-Willed learner.…
While taking a class in college, many people just go through the motions and show up to class to get the job done. But after taking my first English Composition class this fall I realized how much important material and knowledge I have gained. During the class we learned everything from little bits of grammar to writing six page papers. Learning how to start the drafting process on a paper and build an effective was by far the most important skill I have learned in class. Being able to effectively write a paper is such an important skill and I will need this skill for classes that I will be taking for my major.…
I am very thankful for taking this course as I feel I have vastly improved in multiple areas of my communication. I had never taken a course that involved writing a paper and then presenting a speech on it to the class. It was either one or the other, not both. That is what intrigued me to take this course before the semester started. For myself great strides were made in my ability to convince readers through the toulmin model, learned in this course.…
