I was faced with an ethical dilemma that I will never forget. I was 11-years old, and my best friend Hollie and I wanted to go out to eat, so we begged my parents to take us to McDonalds. After talking my parent into taking us, we talked them into letting us stay there to eat so we could play on the outdoor playground. While we were playing I happened to find a wallet in the ball pit with One-hundred dollars in it. I could not believe I found One-hundred dollars. No one else was playing with us,…

Over the past year, I have had a battle for independence within myself and with my father. I have gone to church almost every Sunday ever since I was born. I remember it being my parents’ choice when I was younger forcing me to go, and I remember it be my choice about a few years ago when I had friends there and I would have fun. I never did go out of fear of God or the Devil, it was always a social experience. Since most of my friends were older, they all started to go off to college and I…

I been going back and forth to a couple of colleges that I would like to go to. To begin, my plans after high school that I’m going to stick with so far is to work for a year then…

there is more to it than just drug testing. Every good has its downs. Drug testing for welfare could give it a bad name. People that actually need it would be embarrassed to use it. It would make it harder for people to apply. There would be more steps to the process and potentially have to hire more workers to keep it all organized.

The first scale I chose was the self-esteem scale. After filling out this scale I believe that I was high on that particular trait. But, I feel like the scale did a reasonably good job in assessing the trait of self-esteem. The only reason why I personally believe that the scale did not do a great job in assessing the trait is because of a couple of the questions. For example, the fourth question asks “I seldom feel blue”. This question to me, does not relate to self-esteem. Seeing that…

“HUMMM,” I could hear the sound of the bus as it tore down the road.I sat on the bus cramped in-between my friend, Christian, and one of his friend’s, Ayan. They were talking about something, but I was too nervous to talk (or pay attention at all for that matter). We were on our way to our third cross country meet of the season. The reason I was so nervous was because last meet I had finished 18th overall, or second place sixth grader, and now I felt an overwhelming needed to finish at least…
