not accepting authority, or anything that I couldn’t profit from. My life was spiraling out of control more quickly than I could believe it was. I was working a full time job and a part time job, I was hanging on the streets and more worried about making money any way possible than being home. Suddenly I left my part time job without letting them know or giving any consideration, even though I had worked there for almost 3 years. Money was my motivation and…

She starts the interview by expressing that even though she has to work 3 part time jobs, she wouldn’t change anything in her life because her kids are her strength. As previously mentioned she works 3 different jobs; cashier at a convenience store, delivery…

motivated and marriage does not hinder anyone to be successful. Let say I chose the alternative like going to college and having part time job. Honestly, it will make the situation worst because instead of my dad debts was only for my mom’s medication it will be tripled. I am not the only child, I will see my siblings starve more because of me. Although I will have a part time job, it is not going to be enough because I have needs for school too. Instead of me helping the family, I am also…

I was born in Saigon, Vietnam in 1970. When I was four years old, my mother and two younger sisters died during the Vietnam War. My older sister and I were then sent to be raised by my grandmother, a devoted Buddhist in her 70s, while my father continued his military service. In obedience to my grandmother, I engaged in Buddhist worship. I grew up not only in poverty but also in ignorance of Christianity. In 1987, I escaped the country with my father and we came to the United States as…

such as, Christopher Marlowe and Robert Greene, but none more revered than Shakespeare. In his lifetime, Shakespeare composed many great plays with distinctive characters; however, one of the most noted characters of all is Falstaff in the The First Part of King Henry the Fourth (Henry IV). The essential reason Falstaff is timeless and able to continuously resonate with people is because of the presumed idea that he is a fool. Before this idea that Falstaff is indeed a fool, it is necessary to…

Janice, who I liked a lot when I got to know her, did not prove as helpful as I had hoped. “Look at the breakdown of the standards I gave you, and evaluate the piece of art on those” “But it’s not a piece of art, it’s a weather chart and a poorly done one at that!” “If you look closely it probably meets something in the standards.” Stressed out I went back and forth for several days, destroyed my nails biting them, and drove my husband to distraction before grudgingly awarding Standard…

Perdurantism is a solution to the problem of change which suggest that objects are four dimensional. Lewis would suggest that the objects have both temporal and spatial parts. While the spatial parts remain, the temporal parts can change. In other words, objects persist through time and change by having temporal parts. In an effort to understand why perdurantism exists, I will describe the circumstances leading to its creation, which will include a description of the elements of change and the…

Every semester I ask myself the same three questions and the longer I have been pursuing post secondary the more I think about the costs of post-secondary in comparison to the benefits of my degree. I work part time at Bed Bath and Beyond to help my parents pay rent and keep food on the table so every time I look at class registration I always artistically stack my classes like Greek columns to grab as many hours as I can at work. My father always says that you can’t do anything without money…

The popularity of college athletics has increased among Americans over the recent years. Therefore, universities are gaining mass amounts of profit from their schools’ athletic programs. Student athletes who are involved in these programs are not seeing a reasonable return for the hard work and dedication they put in to make their universities great.
