I believe I work well as part of our team at Nicholson House, I am aware of and fulfil my own duties but where possible I try and support my colleagues. We carry walkie-talkies with us so we can contact each other around the building, if I have a cancelled visit or some free time I’ll ask if there is anything I can do for my colleagues if they are pushed for time and they need me to do a visit, or they need support with something. Where possible I try to pick up and cover extra shifts, I can…

Kurt Vonnegut is able to tie together the idea that fate is predetermined with the ideas that life is meaningless, by pointing out that the actions people take in life are inconsequential. Billy Pilgrim sees this in his everyday life, as he travels through time, showing him that all the events in his life are already set, and therefore there is nothing he can do to change what will happen to him. This has its effects on his emotion as he is very distant from his own life, as he sees the events…

Amber admitted that “American is very nice but my English is not good, so I am shy to communication with America. I make too much trouble to make them understand. Nate felt that he will have trouble to communicate with people until his English improves…

saw my friends and walked over to them. We talked about our guy things and saw the teacher come in. Everyone was quiet as a mouse once he came. He is the devil that sucks joy out of drama. Periods past by and now it is lunch. I wanted to surprise Amber so I walked up to her locker and decided to place a little present in there. I opened it and saw an unfamiliar, yellow envelope. As her boyfriend,…

The Scare Tactics of Now-A-Day Anti Smoking Ads When I was growing up, my older sister Amber, began sneaking behind my parents back and smoking cigarettes at the age of fifteen. I asked her the reasons for beginning and she stated “It was what made you feel cool” which is such a popular response now-a-days. It has been six years and Amber smokes twice as much.

Many women get plastic surgery to look like a better version of themselves, but plastic surgery…
