2002 NBA Draft

Having reread my original autobiography I have realized how different my view on religion was then in comparison to now. Although I have never been extremely active in my religion I have gained a deeper understanding as to what it means to be Catholic. I had once thought that Catholicism was not a big part of my life but I have come to realize that it greatly affects me and how I view the world. “You’re not a real Catholic if [....]”. This is a phrase I have heard many times since I have been at…

For my change project, I have decided to focus on individual change as opposed to organizational change because at this time I am not involved in an organization. After deep consideration and self-reflection, I have decided to write about time/self-management and how it will help me achieve my goal of attaining a business degree by the end of 2018. At the beginning of last year, I decided to dedicate myself to school and learning with the hope of being successful in the business world. To do…

SOME LOVE WE CAN NEVER HAVE We live in a world where there had been an old debate of whether love listens to mind or heart. It depends on the person, the motive, the truth in the love. But still sometimes we wonder our minds around every possibility how we can win in love and every time we fall for some angel and act dumb. We are one among the sea of people in this world waiting for their love story to be drafted, edited and get applied in life. Then we spot someone in the crowd and our mind…

Mary Austin said “go as far as you dare in the heart of a lonely land, you cannot go so far that life and death are not before you.” There is no perfect place in this world; I have to understand that everywhere I go, there is going to be things that I like and dislike about it. In America, however, there are more of the like than the dislike for me. I came to America as a refugee with my family. Life in America is completely different from life in my previous country. It may be hard for the some…

The day before the ride along. October 21st 2016, I was excited for more than one reason. Not only was I going to be participating in a ride along with a station in a city I’d be potentially working for in the coming years. I was also getting to see my family for the first time in 3 months. Having left my car at home for my father to use, I had no means of getting back and forth between my home. Needless to say it was nice to see them all again, but I had to focus on the upcoming ride along. So…

The director, Kristoffer Tabori, oh my gosh, you gotta give this man so much credit. He is brilliant. 'Cause again, he is not like, "Well, this is what's on the page, so I gotta get it in the can." There was a lot of stuff changing before our eyes all the time. Even all of my scenes, I would come to set and be like, "What? Wait a minute. This is all different now. Okay." But Kristoffer Tabori gets so much of the credit for really making this move flow and be real, and there's nothing staged like…

The greatest hero of Greece,was Hercules. The Greeks are much different from the people of 2016, and they valued courage and strength the most, while forgiving him because of their respect for his good deeds. The Greeks valued courage because in their time a common way of living was “survival of the fittest”. When Hercules proved he was courageous and strong to the people by fighting off monsters, he was immediately respected. “Throughout his life Hercules had this perfect confidence that no…

Danny’s relationship with his father at the beginning of the film was a timid relationship with a lot of tension. Early in the film Danny explained how his father (Rebbe Saunders) raised him, at this time it made me think that his father was quite a cruel man considering he raised his son in silence. Rebbe did not talk to Danny unless it was a religious conversation, which forced him to grow up without a father. By contrast Danny’s (the other protagonist in this novel), Reuven Malter’s…

Starting Young Basketball is a fairly common sport to play, but those select kids who want to take it to the next level go to play AAU. AAU basketball is a popular activity for kids who love the game, and for parents who think that their child is talented. There are two different options for AAU teams, one option is the national version. These are the teams who will go to California, Florida, and other places across the country to play high level competition. The other option is regional AAU.…

Humans, animals, technology, and this planet, are constantly changing and adapting to their surroundings. Life goes on despite the extent of the change, just as the train represents time moving non stop past the tree, that represents life in the movie. The film Powaqqatsi by Godfrey Reggio, displays great change over time to the new industry that erodes the traditional ways of several countries. Transitioning from a slow motion opening scene to a rapid ending pace, the film uses facial…
