The speaker from PreMedical Ms.Schnarre, I was not interested in any of the things that this major had to offer. I have never been interested in PreMedical. Will probably not want to pursue any kind of job in this of work. Even though the opportunities seem interesting, the money was with my interest. I would not want to take a different direction that I am already headed.…
My First Shot The air was empty but the pond was full. We sneak through the trees to get to the pond. We get there to realize that the gamble we took didn't pay off. Since we got there about thirty minutes before shoot time we waited. That was the slowest 30 minutes ever.…
When I was a child I always though about business. I wanted to know how things worked, how money worked. I started watching my grandfather write his invoices, deposit checks, talk to people as if he knew them but they had just met. I wondered how he did it, how he played his cards right and got people to hire him.…
Iclesias Phanord Breaking the Norm I’m surrounded by bouncing basketball and expectations. I had not yet found my vocation. However, many people around me had; whether it was basketball, cheerleading, or track - they had found a purpose that drove them. I did not have anything that I was truly passionate about but when I began playing volleyball, I discovered it and I fell in love with the intensity that came when I touched a volleyball.…
Changing the Playing Field It’s go time. We take the field and get ready to throw down. Everyone is ready to give their best to the challenging task at hand.…
This is a really big game. I'm ready for the game to start. It was my last soccer tournament against the hardest team, Mundelein. Tweet! The ref blew the whistle the game was as exciting as the Super Bowl.…
The norm may not always be the right way to go. I no longer want to be a part of a popular or important group of people, if I feel that what the group is doing or believes in is wrong, even if it means I'm not a part of the norm. I am not afraid to stand out on my own. I have challenged this belief for many years. When I was in elementary school, I was bullied by a group of girls that I hung with, looked up to and idolized.…
I have not had any college-level writing classes previously. I am sure that I do some form of college-level writing within my job. While my ending document is acceptable it takes me a substantial amount of time to get to the final product. I would say my biggest struggle is with punctuation knowing where to put commas, semi-colons and colons at within the document. I believe two of my strengths that I could assist others with is, focus and conventions.…
Summer Session I already came to an end. This class flew by so quickly. Since my last class participation assessment, I think I continued to show good work. I tried my best in class. Although all the reading in Mosaic I was amazing, Unit 2 was my favorite.…
At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
The way I went about writing and revising my paper was putting all of the thoughts I had in my head onto the paper. I put on some background music and just let myself go, I wrote the first things that came to mind and then brought it to class. Many people talked about my grammar and spelling were not great but I wrote the paper as if I was talking. I was the first person to be work shopped and I wanted to go first because I knew that if I waited to get work shopped at the end I would have procrastinated and the paper would have been rushed.…
He is now gone for three months. I have not had many people in my life that I can share everything with. The time that I have had to spend with you just seems only a couple of days. Time goes by so fast when you're having fun right. I met you in the seventh grade at West Jr. High.…
My First Goal What if I never got pulled? What if he didn’t give me a second chance? What if Jack didn’t pass me the ball? What if I miss the goal?…
It was a misty morning; the sun was rising up before 5 AM I was struggling to wake up. I could hear a loud noise outside because of my dad was putting equipment in the trailer. My sister and I started get very excited because it was our first time going camping. My dad had finally finished putting things in the trailer, so then we all set off to the gas station to wait for the other families to arrive. There were over 5 families including us that were going camping.…
It was a cold winter day, my grandmother and I were going grocery shopping at Walmart. Everytime we went she would remind me, “watch out for the cameras, the can see you.” I always thought that she was crazy because I never saw any cameras, I had no clue what she was talking about, At the age of seven, I was not aware of the now known “black orbs” on the ceiling. So therefore I never paid any attention. We got to Walmart, one of the larger supermarket ones.…
