It’s a Thursday morning in the high school, lunch time. First shift starts at 11:18 am, as soon as the fourth hour bell rings, students hustle to their lockers, put their books away, and hustle to the lunch line. For some, lunch is the best part of the day, and is a contest between friends to see who can get to the front of the line first. Myself, I’m always the last one in line, I take my time, walk with friends, and wait to see what the cooks have made up for us on that day. Today,…
Dear journal, I had another horrifying experience the day of today. It was the most dangerous and deadly thing we have encountered on this trip so far. ( and I thought yesterday was bad enough). The trail we have been taking all this time has a part where we have to cross the Columbia River. It had fast rapids, huge rocks, and high cliff walls. In fact, I have not the slightest clue of how I am alive and breathing right now. I thought I would surely drown and die in that river. Anyways, to…
My most memorable vacation was a trip to Florida with two of my best friends a few years ago. They were both moving halfway across the country soon, so we decided to splurge on one last trip together. We drove all the way to Florida from New York. It took nearly 24 hours of driving, but we finally made it. We visited Disney World, Universal Studios, and the beach because we had never been to any of those places before. Our vacation was filled with thrills, some disappointment, and ended on a…
After the quality of the food is considered, the next logical thing to look at is how it is being served. The service is another important factor when eating out because it sets the stage of how the meal will go. If the employees are rude or disrespectful it will ruin the rest of the night because even after the issue is solved the customer will still be fuming after the encounter. On the other hand if the service is wonderful the customer can then focus on the quality of the food. It is already…
I was never like this. My views on life, or what I see when I look around me. It was never like this. I am who i am because of the trials and tribulations i believe i was meant to undergo. When i thought i was by myself, i felt as though i was suffocating with no one to pull me up from what i thought i would never recover from. when i was younger i was never religious. i was raised in a christian home, but i never acquired the true faith or beliefs that my parents had. I always felt as though i…
The first scale I chose was the self-esteem scale. After filling out this scale I believe that I was high on that particular trait. But, I feel like the scale did a reasonably good job in assessing the trait of self-esteem. The only reason why I personally believe that the scale did not do a great job in assessing the trait is because of a couple of the questions. For example, the fourth question asks “I seldom feel blue”. This question to me, does not relate to self-esteem. Seeing that everyone…
I chose Brianna Harris to write my thesis about because she was the only one with a younger child. Brianna Harris began cross dressing while he was married for 20 years at the time. When his wife found a pair of panties that did not belong to her is when Brianna's wife found out about the cross dressing. With her approval Brianna began cross dressing more in public and feeling more comfortable with living as a woman. He never said what his name was before the transition, but it might have been…
Being raised in a religious household you are taught that there’s only female or male. The gender that you are born with that is who you are. Although I was born into that environment and believe that marriage is between female and male I do not discriminate or judge those who think otherwise nor do I pressure them to change who they believe they are. As a heterosexual female I do have some disadvantages not just because I am a minority, but also because I am a woman. So, now I imagine what…
Many people interpret “wellness” To be of only physical health. But in fact wellness can be defined as the pursuit and continued growth and balance in terms of the seven dimensions of wellness. Wellness is more than just physical activity. Wellness is integration of mental, spiritual well-being and physical. The quality of life is lead by these complex interactions. This program that I’ve created is intended for my family. First we will start off our Physical Wellness by establishing goals that…
