2002 NBA Draft

At the beginning of the semester I was pessimistic about this class. I did not know what to expect and I let all feministic stereotypes take control over what the course was going to be like. I humbly say that I was wrong. This course has forever changed my view not only about myself, but on my outlook on life. Intersectionality has been at the forefront on what I have learned in this class. Intersectionality according to Google is the “interconnected nature of social categorizations such…

What if I told you, you had the opportunity to go back in time? You could return two, three, five years, maybe even a week back. During this time you acquire the chance to change that one mistake, or the deep regret you felt when you believed to have ultimately made the worst decision of your life. Think about that moment and question what made this moment such a difficult time in your life. It may have been due to heartbreak, failure, fear, defeat, or maybe even a physical or emotional pain.…

Throughout the Old Testament, some of the most memorable stories are about the deity using nature to punish humans. Perhaps the most well known story of the deity using nature as a punishment is the Genesis account of the flood and Noah’s ark. Turning water into blood, the infestation of lice, swarms of insects, and hail are a few of several nature plagues found in Exodus. One of the first instances in the Hebrew Bible describing the deity as using nature to punish humans is found in Genesis…

It feels like I’ve been in this institution for five years now, it really has, even though it was really a couple months. The place is filled with phony’s and I wanted to get the hell out of this goddam place. Anyway, I was reading this book old D.B. gave me when he visited me last Saturday. It was pretty good. It was called I, Robot by Isaac Asimov. I would tell you what’s it about but I didn’t feel like it. I didn’t feel like anything in here. They had a lot of people in here trying to help…

In the short story, “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker, she develops her characters in the story by using a sense of rejection to bring out who they truly are. When someone feels as they aren’t welcome and aren’t the same, it can push them to pursue something different or want to change how they are perceived. Although not all of the characters in the story changed, but they all have felt denial and disdain, in one form or another. I believe Alice Walker used this sense of rejection to show how the…

Throughout human history mankind has tried to understand the value of a human life. Some believe that a human life is worth money, others believe life is what you make it and how you choose to enjoy it, and some believe life is not worth much and we are going to die anyway. There is no definitive answer to this question because it is impossible to prove. Overall the value of life is what people want it to be and we will be looking at it through Hamlet, Roger Ebert, and Amanda Ripley. In…

Standing up for what you believe in is a tough task, but you are capable of accomplishing it. It takes time and effort but if you believe in something it’s worth it. There aren´t a lot of opportunities for you to stand up for what you believe in so make sure you give it your all. When you stand up for what you believe in you’re doing it for yourself, and becoming a role model for people to look up to. People will disagree with you but that’s what’s going to make you work harder. It is an uphill…

There is no real way of measuring success. Success can change from person and person, even day to day to some people. One person can think that moving from the streets into a homeless shelter is success, while another thinks finding a cure for cancer is success. Looking back in 30 years, I will have a family, have a good job, and in the end, be happy, to be considered successful in my eyes. Although all these things seem easy, it goes much deeper than just words can explain. “Don't aim for…

Cross country is a sport that many people will probably never experience. Most believe it is too difficult of a sport for them, or that they would never make it to the finish line before giving up. However, what these people might fail to understand is that they endure a cross country race every day of their lives. Cross country races are just like an average work day. Every day people wake up and repeat their morning routines over and over again. They shower, brush their teeth, comb…

I had a roof shot on a CRV that was a hail damaged car, but quite frankly, I don’t think this one dent was from hair, I think a tree branch or something fell on it. It had three ridiculous dents and the rest were like normal hail dents. Well, I had measured this thing and it was 2.6 millimeters deep. Well, that ant coming out. I don’t think Shane is getting that flat and I don’t think anybody is going to get that flat. If you do get it kind of flat, there is going to be some disclaimer, or…
