I conclude that life is a teaching episode and being able to acknowledge our own fortitudes and shortcoming can assist can us become exceptional persons in anything we choose to do, whether it is affirmative potential and capability that can assist me to attain my purpose or pessimistic individual precincts that require enhancement . Realizing myself and what I can do has enabled me identify and conquer my shortcoming. One of my appreciable fortitude as a therapist is that I have accept…

This will be the highlight of your summer and maybe your life! Creation Festival is one of the largest Christian festivals in the nation. From my perspective from the past eighteen years, Creation Festival’s beginning, and why I keep going back? This Festival is truly the highlight of my summer. Every summer since I was born I go to this summer event. My main reason for going back is for five days I don’t have to deal with the world. Also, from camping under the stars, being around nature all…

Hi Baby, I wanted to take the time to put all of my thoughts in a letter for you, I realized it wouldn't fit on the card - I have a lot to say. I am so proud of you for taking this step and putting in the work to beat this issue. I know it's hard and not easy to be away from your family, friends and myself, so I can't imagine the courage it is taking. You are most certainly the Oak Tree the card describes, strong and resilent - Don't let anything cut you down! I was looking at our facebook and…

I'm sick of crying, I'm sick of telling you that I'm okay when I'm clearly not, I'm sick of smiling when I am fading away to nothing in the inside. You may thing I'm fine, you may think I'm just cold but really I'm just trying to hide the scars. I don't hang out with you after school because I don't want you to hurt when I am gone, I just want to be left alone in silence and pain. When I tell you that I'm not hungry or that I already had something to eat, I'm lying, I just don't want you to know…

Weeks flew by seeming to go too soon. In those weeks I practiced hard, very hard. I was sure Erin was too, but I’ve been very self absorbed with my own work ethic sometimes I forget Erin was even there. It sounds impossible she’s loud and crazy and funny but she’s been less lively the past few weeks for the same reason I was. Nationals. We had a week left until nationals when, every night I went home and tried to sleep I would have terrible dreams about something very bad happening during the…

Everyday life was habitual. Waking up each Monday through Friday morning at six’ o’clock only to rush through yet another day at school, so that I could do what every other elementary boy, that I knew, wanted to do-play outside. But, little did I know my whole outlook on life would soon be changed for the better. It was another average day at elementary school. I was sitting in class bored out of my mind as usual, probably thinking about playing kickball or some other rudimentary subject while…

A long time ago, when I was applying to Chicago Booth, I came across the contact of a country captain for my region on the Booth website. I have no doubt in my mind that reaching out to that country captain was one of the best decisions I made during the application process, as it strengthened my understanding of the program, dramatically improved my application and confirmed that Booth is the place I wanted to be. The regional and country captains are a team of current Chicago Booth students…

The summer of 2013 was a huge life-changing personal triumph. My church offered me to attend a mission camp with them called Mfuge, The camp involves a lot of ministry work, group worship, and personal group bonding activities so everyone felt comfortable and welcomed. The first day my group got assigned to go out to a lower poverty neighborhoods local park and spend the day with the kids. Seeing every single kid smile, laugh and have the best time of their lives there was never a dull moment.…

The Destiny Within A woman with the name of Donna Mikkin, won the New York State Lottery in 2007, but claimed it had ruined her life. After her big win she did not watch what she spent her money on as much and that soon led her to an emotional bankruptcy. This happens all the time when people start living that dream life and do not believe it could get worse. Although some people assume they are now living a perfect life and do not have to work for anything, they get him or herself in troubling…

I am perfectly content in an environment where I am helping people. I relish it when faces light up because I have solved a problem or I helped someone understand something. I am able to assist a person with computer issues best; that is why I have an internship at my school in the Help Desk. I go around the school solving I.T. related issues. I am excited when I go to Help Desk because I acquire new knowledge about computers every day. If I do not know how to resolve a problem myself, I…
