Best of all possible worlds

There’s one day specifically that I recall within the current school year. I was sitting in my third-period economics class, and it was only a month into the year, yet already I wasn’t expecting to learn anything at all. My peers filed in to sit at their desks, each student either immediately pulling out their phone or beginning an uproar of conversation; meanwhile, my teacher sat there and did nothing other than taking attendance. This scene continued for the next…

Honestly, I never thought I would ever be interested in being a teacher. All throughout my early childhood, I always wanted to be a doctor; I loved the idea of assisting others in their time of need and even saving their lives from time to time. Unfortunately, I realized as I got older that I really was not interested in (or good at) math or science; therefore, that dream died quite quickly. Having been fortunate enough to having supportive parents, I have always felt that I was able to…

my life, there’re some times that I challenged an idea and I’ve got to stop and to think what decision would be the best for me. Any choice would be a path to reach an important goal in my life, which is live abroad. So, I’ve got to decide either to stay in Brazil or come over to United States, specifically United States, leaving my lovely mother at home. But I have overcome it all so far. Throughout the book “A Gate at the Stairs”, we can see that several overcoming situations when Sarah, who…

again, is the history of ideas, and they're always ideas that work themselves out and become real and happen in the world. And fantasy comes along and says, 'We're going to break all the laws of physics. Most people don't realize it, but the series of films which have made more money than any other series of films in the history of the universe is the James Bond series. They're all science fiction, too — romantic, adventurous, frivolous, fantastic science fiction.” (Ray Bradbury) “Modern science…

America has always been a golden country for people from all around the world. Immigrants came to America with high expectations. People heard many stories of all the land, job opportunities in America, so they decide to come. At the same time, when arriving, it was not what they had expected. Although industry aid immigrants with work and new technology, but most immigrants found that living in American was very difficult. They struggle with long hours work and low wages. They also dealt with…

cars sitting in your driveway? I’m sure one day we all had shared a dream like such, which was worry and carefree, until it came down to deciding what car you were going to go out in. One day all those fantasies will seemingly come to an end without you even realizing this has happened, the thoughts and dreams of all those lavish toys at your dispense are now in a garbage disposal being brought to the dump, while you have not settled for the best job, car, and house you can get. They weren’t the…

As we saw previously, the possible explanation behind why some societies advanced more than others lays on two possible theories. The first, developed by Jared Diamond, argues that the environment is the principal agent behind how different societies developed. The second, explained by Lawrence E. Harrison, claims that the differences lie on certain cultural values and attitudes such as people’s sense of community, their ethical system, the exercise of authority and views about education and…

assured, the opportunity to reduce the unemployment rate, the chance to build one’s character, and the ability to create equality is possible. The military draft ensures that there will be enough soldiers to fight in the time of war. It is best to have other soldiers to replace those who will be injured or killed in battle and a military draft can make this possible. The military draft gives everyone the opportunity to go to war when the time is necessary. Women are able to receive the same…

admission to this spectacular university was a miracle in itself; however, the cost of attendance is a struggle of itself. Receiving this scholarship would help enable myself to educate my mind at one of the nation’s and state’s best universities. I have lived in Lindale all my life, went to the same church and school, and even lived in the same house, but attending this university would forever shape my life and increase the opportunities and resources available to me. I want the love I have…
