During my experience dealing with running and the many ways to track the statistics of each run, I came across the Garmin GPS watches and quickly utilized their abilities. Like any other producer, Garmin did not just make one model so I will compare their most popular watches, the Garmin Forerunner 225 and the Forerunner 10. The cost is the first thing people many runners look at. The Forerunner 10 is $129.99, while the cost of the Forerunner 225 is $299.99.…

My first symbol is the books. Maddy has spent all of her life locked in her house and in that time she read a lot. Choosing the books as a symbol shows what Maddy does with her time in the house. Then having my second symbol as the ocean shows where she wants to go. I chose the ocean because throughout the book and her time she spent talking with Olly she always talked about seeing the ocean and traveling.…

Care-Corps provides: housing, life skills program, food, hygiene products, medicine, prevention program, counseling, and provides a plan for a client to get healthy, happy lifestyle.…
The 4x2 relay is easier to run then it is to set up. At practice you need to meet up with your relay team and make sure you know who is first, second, third, and fourth. There are big triangles on your lane and there is a little triangle a little ways behind it. Start with 20 feet from the big triangle and put down a piece of tape, and then go ten feet from there and put down a second piece of tape. If other people have tape down make sure to mark it or write your name to keep track of it.…
I chose my first image, the two boys together, to represent the friendship that Shmuel and Bruno have together, even in the drastic situation. The first word i chose was “Friendship” which was a major part of the film, and Bruno’s friendship with Shmuel really touched my heart. I then chose the word “Innocence” to show how innocent Bruno is to not realize what is happening to the Jewish people, like when he said, “ Can we go to the café or something?” inside the concentration camp. The second image is chose was thousands of shoes outside of a gas chamber.…

This allows everyone to know the injustices that occur around the world and raise awareness of the problems that some people are condemned to face every day. As it is said: “a picture is worth a thousand words”.…
The sixteenth photo I had taken is a photo of a book by the title of “The Tipping Point” by Malcolm Gladwell. The reason why I have chosen this photo is because the book has taught me that the little things around us can make a big difference. The seventeenth photo I had taken is a photo of a book called Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich. The reason why I have chosen this photo is because it shows how many people who live in the U.S work full-time are receiving poverty- level wages and the author is just mentioning how can people survive under these conditions.…
Misty Copeland is a woman who defied all the odds and ended up becoming the first African-American principal dancer for the American Ballet Theatre. In her autobiography Life in Motion, Copeland depicts her life as a young woman before her days of ballet until recently. This book particularly stands out as a commendable autobiography because Misty writes this book as a story a form of empowerment to “the little brown girls” who do not think that they are able to fight despite all of the odds. Other reasons why this book stands out in the autobiographical realm is the metaphor “life in motion” as well as Copeland’s characterization of characters such as Cindy. One of the things that stood out this book is her consistent repetition of the sentence…
After picking Life Care Center as my internship, I had get all my paper works and files turned in before I did an orientation. I needed to turn in my TB testing results, urinal test and a background check. From there, I would be able to take the orientation video presentations. The video presentation took about two to three hours, which talked about the policy and can and cannot do or say outside of the homecare. Not only learning about the policy and HIPPA, which stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act we watched a film about fire drill and what we need to do.…
God’s work is evident in DNA. Deoxyribonucleic acid in our cells is very similar to an intricate computer program. Binary code is made up of 1’s and 0’s, similarly DNA is made up of A,T,G, and C. They are arranged and lined up in a sequence, and the order in which they are placed instructs the cell’s actions. Although DNA is passed down, it has distinct characteristics that make it yours. This is the reason why when there is a crime scene and your DNA is found, they know exactly who you are (126).…
“Photographs are powerful tools for communication because captured moments not only represent facts…” (Shields, 2014). She also added, “they also have an innate ability to speak to the viewers on a reliable and emotional level.” A photojournalist’s job is to take photos that supplement a news article or solely describe the whole event.…
