Bit

We met as a class during a lunch period towards the end of sophomore year just to get to know each other a little bit and to learn about the dynamics of the class a little bit also. This is when I realized this class was going to be different than any other I’d taken before. I was going to experience being a minority for the first time. I am a white, Catholic, upper-middle class girl who has lived…

I haven 't paused to blog for some time now. With a crazy schedule for myself, kids, and family, there is often little time to stop and reflect. But this major milestone deserves some reflecting. And it deserves some shoutouts to some important people. And it just deserves to be written down for others to reflect on, find comfort in, and maybe offer thoughts as well. This isn 't one of my typical education and technology posts. In fact, it really doesn 't have much technology associated with it…

Step X: “You are here.” I am a sophomore at the college of CSB/SJU. I am a nursing student and take school very seriously. I think that being a nursing student takes dedication and commitment, which was important for me to learn in my first year of college. My concerns are centered around my future, family and friends. I believe that my concerns are very self centered because of the point of my life that I am in. I am trying to find out who I am and where I belong in the world. My interests are…

In the article, Appetite, Laurie Lee explained how humans take things for granted sometimes and she suggested that they need to get away from those things sometimes. She listed examples of things different than food such as people that we surround ourselves with and how we needed to get away from them too sometimes because that could lead to them getting too attached or they could get tired of each other. In the article she says, “So I think we should arrange to give up our pleasures…

Brandon had been driving for about 6 hours when he started hearing the banging sounds coming from his engine. It sounded like someone was slamming a wrench into the inside of his hood. He hoped it wasn’t anything serious, but it was hard not to worry. He was a couple miles into the forest no when a large bang followed by a couple of puffing noises came from his engine, his slowed to a halt as Brandon turned to the side of the road. He popped his trunk and a cloud of smoke emerged. “That’s not…

I was nervous before the interview and I think it’s the reason the opening to my interview had a little bit of a rough start. I didn’t notice it at first until later in the interview, but after introducing each other and getting some of her contact information I jumped straight into the interview questions. Even though I had explained what the interview was…

Violets Point of View Year: 1864 As I’m sitting here outside of my old family home I think about what led up to this moment. What led me up to this point? What brought me to the point where I killed my best friend, my only friend. Nate my best and only friend who has ever cared for me and the only person I have ever cared for. I think back to the moment I first met Nate. At the time we were 7 years old. We had quickly become best of friends over only a few months…

who were there and that it will be instrumental in bringing at least one person to Christ. After I was done there, I took my wash out to be washed and talked with Asi Lulu and Asi Kefua a little. They said that someday that they are going to come to America. Asi Kefua said that she is going to teach Sunday school there. Next, I think I worked on packing a little before going down to Me Manthbi and Me Matoka who were doing my wash. I wanted to go down and watch a little to see how they wash the…

It all begins with a push of a button. The process is simple. Pick one of the 196 000 pokie machines in Australia sat idle, awaiting their next victim. Insert some coins into a slot and press that green button. Mindlessly stare, wholly and completely fixated as those icons spin around and around. Powerless to those flashing lights, to that symphony of celebratory sound effects- which are more often than not, praising the loss of yoyr hard- earned money. Only to do it all over again. To 23…
