As we are all aware, millions of American families had once immigrated from other countries. Although moving to America brought hope for a new life and a brighter future, many struggle to adjust and adapt to the ways of an American lifestyle. Immigrating does not have to be the prime reason people have trouble identifying themselves with a certain group. Many people can feel just as isolated, or even more so, in their own homeland. Finding a place you can call your own, feeling like you…

My Plate Comparing my recorded diet to the My Plate recommended value I found some interesting facts. My grain intake was at 96.7%, my vegetable intake was at 29.2%, fruits was at 24%, dairy at 8.3%, protein foods at 149.4%, empty calories at 70.1%. Some of the numbers are alarming. I am fully aware of the fact that I do not consume enough vegetables, fruits and dairy. I do take a multivitamin daily to help bridge the gap in the discrepancy. I know that real food is better overall, but at times…

The one day in my life I would choose to re-live if I could would be one that occurred a couple of years back.

I can not wait to go back and experience it all over again. The Animal Kingdom Lodge is set on four lush savannas’ that is home to some thirty species of wildlife that includes Zebras,…

War is an eclipse - the darkness that veils prosperity. It has always been associated with negativity and instability. Death and destruction follow every path and the minds of people are thrown into disorder. At times like these, many cannot see any array of hope. However, behind the darkness of the eclipse lies the light of the corona. The corona of positivity that stays strong within adversity and uncertainty. The population most affected by war are the soldiers and the victims. They live,…

medicine and refused to take it unless I was present. I would have the syringe in my right hand and a huge glass of flat ginger ale , her favorite drink, in my left as I quickly administered the medicine to her. Although I wished I could give her a corned beef and pastrami sandwich every time she had to take that medicine, she was unable to eat food because of the blockage in her small intestine…

On his Gemini 3 mission with Gus Grissom, John displayed his irrepressible sense of humor, when he smuggled Grissom’s favorite sandwich on board the flight as a “secret experiment.” Wally Schirra had ordered a corned beef sandwich from Wolfie’s Delicatessen in Cocoa Beach, and secretly handed it off to Young. During the mission, John presented the sandwich to a pleased crewmate. NASA, however, was furious at the astronaut “contraband” and ordered Chief Astronaut…

does occur. Perception is reality, and so if the public believe that they are at risk and the organization at fault fails to acknowledge this hysteria, this can cause fear or anger over ambiguity. For instance, in 2003 many citizens refused to eat beef when they became aware of a single Alberta cow was infected with “mad cow disease”, even though the risk to their own safety was non-existent. The public can be a very useful resource, and can used to a corporation’s benefit. Chipotle has rightly…

digs to get to the door. He opens the door, climbs down a ladder and once inside, he is completely bewildered. The boy climbs down the ladder and all they see are “crate upon crate of canned goods. Tomatoes, peaches, beans, apricots. Canned hams. Corned beef. Hundreds of gallons of water in ten gallon plastic jerry jugs” (McCarthy 138). Truly, this bunker symbolizes something even greater than hope. The finding of this bunker proves to the boy and his father, that there is a reason to live in…
