Bring Me the Horizon

“Don’t cheat, don't procrastinate, dont stress, dont do this, don't do that!” I could drag on and on about all of the long-drawn out, cliche advice that is shoved down your throat before prior to the start of your freshman year of high school. High school is a time where many various aspects in your life begin to change, whether you want them to or not. Everyone is frightened of these changes in high school which includes more responsibility and freedom; therefore, advice is continuously…

was younger I always felt as if I had an emptiness inside me, but I could never explain what it was. As I got older I had begun to get comfortable with this emptiness to the point where I actually dismissed this feeling. At the age of seventeen I met my future husband John in 1994. His family was nothing like mine. They were devoted Catholics and went to church every weekend and every religious/saint holiday. As we began to date John asked me if I would attend church with him. I only attended…

Domestic violence is an issue that many men and women deal with. According to the statistics presented by an organization known as the Safe Horizon, which deals with domestic violence victims, more than 4 million women experience physical assault and rape by their partners. Some experience the violent behavior in the privacy of their own home or publicly. As a public figure Ray Rice disgracefully became a statistic in relations to domestic violence.

historical concepts. The sins of Adam and Eve could not only be expunged through exhausting toil but through the continued strive for the individual and collective process of the betterment of society. This uncertainty can lead to new theoretical horizons and not an end in itself. If it was not for Weber’s work, there would not be a comparison between a religious ethic and capitalism. Therefore, to assess a particular issue, even partially, serves the purpose of seeking answers to certain…

I did not change my answers and I knew from the second set of questions I would not score at all in the realistic category because nothing interested me. I also was surprised I scored in the enterprising area because I do not enjoy math and numbers at all. Yet, I understand why I scored in enterprising and investigative because I do love problem solving and leading people. Although my interests of choice…

people off from military service. To me it was just another part of the journey I was about to undertake in a long career of military service. I showed up to the Columbus, Ohio Military Entry Process Station on a cold November morning at 430 am before the sun started to peek about the horizon. I was very tired due to the fact I was not used to waking up before 7 am before that point. I walked off the bus into the station to be greeted by the desk petty officer giving me instruction on where to…

It had seemed strange that it was such a positive advertisement as no less than a half an hour ago they were scurrying to find us a babysitter. Reluctantly we agree and we enter the car and commence a car-ride. We arrived at the end of a wooden enclosure to be subject to a house…

In my own city of Omaha, egregious injustices exist and I have only now become aware of them. In addition, I have created personal relationships with those affected by these injustices and they have imbued me with their backgrounds and stories. Now that my service journey has concluded, I have some advice for the incoming juniors. First, it is important that one erases all preconceptions from his mind. If one embarks on his service journey thinking it will…

people, places and all the things to do. The way my town was setup there was never a need to leave because everything was there. If it wasn’t for a long night of thinking on my throw pillow I probably would’ve never grew out of that stage and widen my horizon. I still fear change now, but I keep an open mind an heart. I made wiser decisions now and I’m more open to new people, places and…
