knowledge of what’s happening “live”. Most recently I have been coming across things like “weird” news or “unusual history” from the past that I had no knowledge of or, better yet, know they even existed. One piece of history that was somewhat surprising to me was the history of lesbianism. We all know that lesbianism has been around for a long time. I know that the gay community is still in the shadows and not really openly accepted still…
In particular, for the remainder of this summer I plan to continue working as many hours a week and taking advantage of all overtime opportunities. This goal will aid me in paying for college and extend the possibility that if I earn enough money then I may be able to spend a semester abroad studying Spanish in Mexico. Although the hours get very long, I am persevering through it as I remind myself how lucky I am to…
Essential Question For my quality project, I examined the essential question of “why some movies are timeless?”. I’ve always loved watching older movies, so I decided that I would like to base my project on analyzing them. In my experience movies bring people together, a group of people experiencing the same thing at the same time. Because of this, I knew that I would like to incorporate watching my selection of movies with other people into my project. I never really understood why people often…
Cappelli doesn't value a career that makes you happy the happiness is an afterthought for him he does not think it has a value in his equation for a successful job. Happiness is important to me as I dont care really how much money I’ll make as long as I am happy doing it and it fulfills me. Money is the afterthought to me as happiness take precedence. He also doesn't value the amount of stress put on a student as he expects all degree programs to be done on time wit no thought on how it…
looks the other way. On the wall next to him hangs a creature pale from the life drained from his soul. To the right of the sand appears a women who seem threaten, a ball of fire rising from her hand while a ghostly figure stands next to her. In the horizon lays a peaceful ocean with lovely pale orange and blue. The beautiful scenery in the back shows that in any dark situation there is always good if you look for…
enchanted wonderland that no one can take away. My enchanted wonderland is a place where I will never be seen... but one where I can see every pinprick of movement. In the morning, dew drops sparkle and shimmer on the leaves as the sun peeks over the horizon. As the arrays of light meet, they form miniature rainbows that glide across the creek. The raging creek pushes its way down to the intersection of meandering rivers with nothing to block it’s path. Off in the distance Mt. Werner makes a…
in small southern towns, spent a good deal of my Sundays fidgeting in a church pew. My mother has always been very religious, and placed a lot of importance of raising her children that way, even going as far as pulling us out of school to homeschool me and my sisters to make sure we were learning the right values. Christianity however, isn't always the most palatable thing for young children, despite the great efforts taken to make it cool and fun for us kids. So I spent most of those Sundays…
Home “How would you feel about living in the UK for three months?” my mother asked me when I was nine. And yet seven years, six houses and three schools later, I’m still here. I am not going back: this is my home. It is not back there, not with the majority of my family and old childhood friends. For some strange reason, this country has been more of a home to me than Poland ever was. So I embraced it with open arms, even if it took a little while to get used to. Poland, 1998-2007 I had a…
sneak a quick smirk before pretending to snore obnoxiously. So I took a couple of steps outside and said, “I guess I’ll just have to go to the market by myself today…” I waited and before I could count to three Ruka and Ravi came running up along beside me. Yesterday, while on our walk to the market, we encountered…
Most of the motivational or inspirational speeches or success stories often speak about finding a sense of purpose, exploring the horizon, and finding a way to give back. Speakers would say things like “Learn to bring the greatness within” or “Go and make a difference” or “Be an inspiration to somebody else.” Hearing these words makes me strongly believe that people exist because they all serve a purpose to mankind. Their objectives of living is to find their worth and learn to share the…
