To begin, I was born in Kankakee, IL, as Briana Lynn Dahn. My middle name was given to me after my mother Rhonda Lynn Dahn. At the time of my birth, my mother was nineteen years old and unmarried; hence, I was given her maiden name. My mother’s biological father’s name is Frederick Dahn. Frederick’s ancestors are said to have traveled from Germany in the 1930s. Her mother, Teresa Mellein, is of German descent. My Grandma Teresa’s side of the family also had ancestors come from Germany. They…
describe myself, I often talk about how the communities I encountered made me who I am and what I want to become through my stories I experienced in Leon, Nicaragua. It was only a trip that lasted 3 week, yet it felt like a year has passed. During the summer, I had the privilege to travel to Leon, Nicaragua, a city with intense culture and a site that is unimaginable, through a program called…
Question 1 - What experience have you had that has given you insight into the patients you hope to eventually serve? During my paramedic education, I had to fulfill clinical hours in the emergency department at Legacy Salmon Creek. During that time, I’ve interacted with patients who have suffered life-threatening ailments, but many of my interactions were with patients who weren’t experiencing life-threatening episodes. Understandingly, the latter of these patients use the emergency department…
The energy in Puri's air was very holy, and there I was given the proof of positive thinking that can be beneficial only when doubt doesn't exist and the moment is lived in an innocent state of mind, while wishing truly for the best for others without any return expectations. In India, I was surrounded by so much poverty, at this point it seems appropriate to mention that even though I was better off than the local multitude, I traveled for fourteen months outside my native country, Italy, with…

Soul of an Educator- Mr._________________ I wanted to send you one of my graduation announcements because you are one of the few teachers/mentors I had in my life who taught me something-that got me this far. I will NEVER, EVER forget the day in English class when you pulled out a map of the universe and gave a talk about how small our problems really are. That bit of information definitely saved me hundreds of times while at school. My personality and lifestyle has molded itself around that…
Even before Claussen began pushing his architectural vision, others were busy designing the inner workings of the plant. Jan Knau, an engineer, was only 27 when he was asked to come up with a flexible assembly line for the factory. Knau, then just a junior associate, contacted BMW’s top 15 assembly engineers. He invited them to a two-day workshop at a BMW retreat near the Austrian Alps. After a series of marathon sessions that included discussions of every facet of the ideal assembly line, Knau…
faddish phenomenon of post-Depression days, as evidenced by its continued and uninterrupted sales into the eighties, almost half a century later. Dale Carnegie used to say that it was easier to make a million dollars than to put a phrase into the English language. How to Win Friends and Influence People became such a phrase, quoted, paraphrased, parodied, used in innumerable contexts from political cartoon to novels. The book itself was translated into almost every known written language. Each…
Unfortunately, some companies have mismanaged their greatest asset—their brands. This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994. Snapple had become a hit through powerful grassroots marketing and distribution through small outlets and convenience stores. Analysts said that because Quaker did not understand the brand’s appeal, it made the mistake of changing the ads and the distribution. Snapple lost so much…
