I have many different favorite things in many different areas, such as in Marcus Aurelius’ biography, Meditation’s. My three favorite passages from Meditation’s come from all one book which is Book two, yet in different sections that are section eight, section eleven, and section fourteen.

Throughout the world, there are several influential figures that have done good in the fields that they are in. Whether it be doctors discovering cures for new diseases, leaders of different nations striving to better their people, or even as small as a teacher or professor of a school or college making an impact in the lives of their students. In deciding who should have a monument of them added to the national mall, I took the approach and found someone in the field that I am a part of who has…

Many people in the world today believe that society consists of a sizeable amount of selfish beings who only care about themselves. They believe that those types of greedy people are the cause of war, death, and chaos among society.

decided that I needed to work less hours so that I could experience everything I was missing out on. After a year, I finally made this happen by quitting that Dairy Queen and transferring to a different one with a significantly earlier closing time with less demand of total work hours.
