All Good Things...

A few extra things that I can mention about my overall time spent at the ASANTE hospital is that it is very difficult. There are times where I did not know what to do, or who to call to fix certain problems and/or to get extra assistance. For instance, I had an incident where someone threw up all over outside of the South Lobby where I was located, encountered a disfunction with one of the toilets here that had people coming to me over and over to complain to and many angry people who took their…

source of pride. It is thought of as a good thing to be successful. But success can become threatening when your classmates, neighbors, or coworkers are more successful than you. Then your pride is hurt. Though success itself is a good and positive thing, it creates competition that can foster negative interactions. In this society,…

go to the venue to meet Sam. I get a little pre stage pump before I go on. I am not feeling confident because I still have some fat on my body. I ask myself “Why did I have to eat that pizza?” I go on stage and see the competition, it is not looking good for me. These guys are way leaner than me. They named the top 3 and I was not one of them. I go back stage and see Sam. He is looking really disappointed. Sam ask me “what happened? Did you follow your diet?” I’m looking towards the floor and…

started to be chaos in the country. Queues just to buy basic goods. Citizens started to leave their jobs to buy food and if being lucky get two or three products. Needs began to consume the country. The quality of life began to fall. Insecurity could take place at any time of the day; thieves could attack, or even worst kill.…

about our gifts and talents. Resistance, stops us from doing things that can be good for us because the unknown afterwards is frightening. He characterizes resistance as fast, powerful, and almost addicting. It is circling around us, and yet we have no idea when it is going to hit us. Resistance is not something that we can see, instead it is something that we can feel. A negative feeling, that is meant to harm us, and stop us from doing good. He gave a personal example of a book he wrote,…

tried her hardest to disregard it; she did not want to give up her job. She thought she would get better, but she wasn 't getting any better. She just kept getting worse. She eventually got so bad that she could not do anything. She had to lay in bed all day.…

sports are beneficial are, that some pushing in competitive sports is good, you can learn valuable life lessons, and it can help with health/physical advantages.

According to Jacqueline Stenson “some 19- or 20-year-olds may wish their parents had pushed them more to stick with sports when they were younger rather than giving up…”. This shows me that pushing can be good because, it can force teens/kids to think about if they…

Losing is a Win The choice is simple, you can either praise your child for every little thing no matter the outcome, or allow your child to learn the best life lessons that can be taught to them by playing sports. When we are a child we look at life with rose-colored glasses, as parents if we allow our children to continue to look through their eyes in that way, they will miss the valuable opportunity to learn how to cope when life is no longer that rose color. Some parents want to protect…

curveball. I worked at an awesome hair salon, which was number one in the city, and I was on my way to becoming a licensed hair stylist. I had it made. Sometimes it seemed surreal how well things were going and I thought I was blessed to be given the opportunity I was presented. It obviously turned out that it was too good to be true. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, I had to leave that wonderful job and seek employment elsewhere. After a few unpleasant jobs and no more funding for…

story by Ursula K. Le Guin. It was published in 1976 and is set in an ambiguous time period and location in a utopia called Omelas. This story discusses the idea of whether or not it is acceptable to destroy a small amount of people’s happiness for the good of the majority.

Throughout the text, Le Guin provides…
