the projections for a third one? If Hearties help earn us a Season five, we will absolutely throw a third version of the Hearties Family Reunion in Vancouver. I’m convinced that this worldwide Hearties movement is not a fluke and that it’s the single biggest reason why the show has continued through four seasons.

Peter Griffin, from the hit Television show Family Guy, once stated in an episode, “I do not know who you are. I do not know what you want, but I have a very particular lack of skills. I will never be able to find you, but what I do have is two dollars and a Casio wristwatch. You can have one of them.” When Peter states that he has a “lack of skills” he is adding humor to the show. The show, Family Guy, is full of comical humor from jokes to reenacting scenes. Family Guy was created by Seth…
Growing up I was always taught that hard work, preservation, motivation and drive would excel and get me far in life. Outliers almost paints a different picture.

Well here I am, twelve years later after high school finally knowing what I want to be “when I grow up.” My experience with life has been quite the roller coaster with lots of ups, downs, and loops. That all brings me to how my experiences will push me to meet the goals I have for my academic and future career. I was not sure what I wanted to do for a career after I graduated high school due to little guidance for all the big decisions at age eighteen, and that is why I decided to “take a year…
'Flex my own muscles? ' he though, letting the example of the dirt falling through his fingers settle to his core. "I think I understand, I just don 't know how she will react when I won 't listen to her. I 've always done whatever she asked of me." taking a kneeling position, the bangle around his wrist slips away into wisps of softened light.
