My life is perfect, I have the perfect family, the perfect friends, and the perfect house. I was thinking to myself. School just started for the day and I was sitting in homeroom. It was a beautiful Thursday morning and I couldn 't wait for the weekend because my family and I always go to the pumpkin patch. The bell rang and the teacher walked in. A couple minutes later the announcements came on the loudspeaker. Blah, blah, blah, I thought to myself. Announcements were so boring, all they…

Your #1 Fan Description: A Fan, you probably know one, or are one… And for generations, the western world has seen people fall under the admiration and desire to know more about pieces of pop culture, constituting them as ‘a fan’, from ‘Beatlemania’ to ‘Beliebers’ and everything in between. While the feelings may still be the same, how has the experience of being a fan changed? I talked to a fan, a creator and a publicist- three different people who have experiences in different angles on this…

As humans, several things make us irritated. While some things that make certain people annoyed do not have the same effect on others, the basic concepts are the same. One thing that I have noticed all people get enraged about is being around someone who they do not particularly admire. Perhaps the worst of all, is being in the same setting as a stereotypical know it all. Most of the time people do not know how to identify know it alls which leaves them no way to resolve the annoyance the know…

Pink argues that motivation 2.0 doesn’t work well in the work force, that we should use motivation 3.0. Pink states, “Motivation 2.0 serves some purpose well. It’s just deeply unreliable” (Pink 19). In other words, Pink believes that motivation 2.0 is not dependable anymore so we need an upgrade and that society now is like an operating system. We need upgrades in the work force. He argues that rewards and punishments aren’t good anymore. Pink believes autonomy, mastery, and purpose should be…

Assessment Interview Report I decided to interview Pastor John, who is the senior pastor of the New Life church in Tooca, Georgia. I wanted to get a new perspective of curriculum in the way of making disciples. I knew that he was on the cutting edge of the missional community group movement in the church. I believe that I can use this information in my future ministry. I actually believe that the Church in the United States needs to have more fellowship, and I think that New Life, with Pastor…

It is 5:57 am on a Wednesday morning and I am dreading the sound of my alarm going off. A sick sensation of guilt over and hate overwhelm me, and the only thought coming to my head is "wow, I really wish time would freeze." It feels like the longest three minutes of life and, I am in heaven and close my eyes hoping that I never have to get up. But, soon enough, I hear the screeching sound of some stupid Fall Out Boy song and know that I must face the day. I swing out of my bed some 17 minutes…

In the poem “Words”, Dana Gioia expresses the theme of words being an accessory to life that humans seem to need through her use of diction, personification, and imagery. Words are a necessity to life Nature having its own language is seen through personification and diction. Gioia uses the word “articulates” when referring to the “sunlight, leaves, and shadows” to show that even they, nature, speaks (S 1, L 1-2). The word “articulate” is a rather peculiar word to use when referring to natures…

I step out of my car, and onto the gravel parking lot. Looking around, I notice the eager children frantically pulling at their parent’s hands as they walk into the pumpkin patch. Almost immediately a nostalgic sense of happiness sets in. That warm fuzzy feeling inside my stomach is impossible to ignore at this point as the memories of my childhood flood in. This feeling remains constant throughout October, November and December but it is strongest in October. Something about pumpkin patches…
