A Little Bit

friends, but even better was knowing that we had a second family during the holidays. For the final hospitality event, I actually did not cook, or do anything in my home. Instead, I took Tim and his girlfriend out to dinner at La Huerta. We talked a little about religion and politics, and how our choices were informed by our beliefs and upbringing. Although all three of us grew up on the mission field, it was interesting to see how different our views were on certain issues. Aside from the…

small art gallery, they also sale clothing, small unique gifts, toys and much more. They also serve as the locale coffee shop. They have a paint your own potter in the back and every year we pick out something to paint and bring home. We all paint a little section of the item. We drink specialty drinks and shop. This year we decide to paint a lager item. We walked into the back entrance of the store right away a something caught my mom’s eye. She looked up at the top self on the wall there lay a…

We had been aching for some fun that week, however none of us had any ideas on what “kind” of fun we wanted. The week was quite stressful, due to many tests, assignments, and life in general, so we decided we needed a good “stress reliever” for the weekend. I guess just like every other teenager, my friends and I live for the weekend, because we started planning the event for that weekend around Monday of that week. We had finally decided that we were going to throw a party at Summer Martin’s…

which helped us all feel more comfortable. By the time we got to the camp, I had already talked to a few of the girls I was going to bunk with and I wasn't as scared anymore. Even though I was opening my shell, I was still referred to as “Seamus’ little sister” by the boys. I had a long way to go, but it was the most stride I’ve ever made. We finally arrive, and I feel my stomach knot up and my head was screaming this was a mistake. I look out my tinted window to see camp, there was a cul-de-sac…

Arielle and Courtney did most of the work when it came to the survey and recommendation report. But Victoria was somewhat helpful, because she made an effort to provide a few suggestions and state her opinions. As, I stated before my contribution was little to none when it came to the survey and recommendation report, but everything else I just did my…

Everyone’s gone on some sort of trip. Whether it be somewhere local or a complete different country, they have one thing in common, the people. Recently I took a trip to Florida and I realized although we were in the same location the people around me were not having the same experiences. Different people go different places for different reasons. There’s the tourist who sticks to the well beaten path and doesn’t like to be outside of their comfort zone. Then there is the stereotypical family…

Both verbal and nonverbal communication are important in our daily lives. Nonverbal communication often expresses the feelings that we cannot put into words. Verbal communication allows us to convey our thoughts and opinions to others in a clear way. These go hand in hand as people use both during conversation to not only speak their mind, but to express the emotion tied to those words through their body language. As I was sitting in the nail salon, behind me I heard what sounded to be two older…

throughout his struggles, Buck was lead to starve and was very weak, on the verge of dying because of owners who didn’t know how to take care or to treat dogs. Facing many times where he needed to persevere Buck got through them changing himself a little bit each time. Anita, my foster mom has grown up from going through hard trials and changed a lot emotionally choosing to become a great example for her family and mostly her children. Anita was a single mom who was in college and was not very…

want to work. There were lots of problems that happened within our team because of lack of communication. I wasn’t sure what I can do about it, the understanding and planning just wasn’t there, especially about the media log task. We all seemed a little overwhelmed by this assignment and it made it very hard to complete. I became very tired and worried as the due date approached and we hadn’t really communicated other than on blackboard. Our schedules didn’t connect so we wasn’t able to meet in…

I believe that the differences in our responses to the performance task of taking care of ourselves, result from the way that we each see the tasks that fall under this category. I see these tasks as an opportunity to have some time to relax, either before I start my day or at the end of it, my father does anything expect relax when doing these tasks. He sees these tasks as time slots. When he needs to do these tasks that he already believes are unimportant, that he could be and should be doing…
