Self-Assessment Assignment 1.A. Personality Test: Guardians I have already done this kind of test more than twice before, and I always got the same result, which is ISTJ. This website didn’t tell which personality type I have, but they told me I am a Guardian (SJ’s), and ISTJ is one of the four types of Guardians. The part that I totally agree with is that I am following the rules and cooperating with others, not very comfortable blazing new trails, cautious about change, honor customs and…

“High Hopes” by the iconic band Pink Floyd was released in 1994 and remains a huge fan favorite of many classic rock listeners. David Gilmour is the singer and song- writer for Pink Floyd and has had a very successful music career. Like most of Pink Floyd’s songs, the rhythm of “High Hopes” is very slow and calming but conveys some of life’s harsh truths. This powerful song illustrates society’s unrelenting quest to pursue the perfect life that God intended but hampered by the uncontrollable…

What is a hero? A hero can be anyone no matter the age. Heroes are someone that is caring and selfless. They never put themselves first and put other people’s lives before their own and think of others. They can be just a regular person, but one day they step up in time of need of help. They may not even know that one day they will be a hero to someone. They sometimes even think that they aren’t a hero but to someone they are. Heroes are people that step up in times of need because they are…

Although there are differences from one person to the next about who they think is a hero. There is always a basic concept behind it, heroism is selflessness and braveness. Sometimes people base heroism on what is seen in comic books or their favorite action movie, but heroes can be everyday people, ordinary citizens who put their life at risk for nothing except for the sake of helping others. Heroism is not just who you are, it's the choices you make. Hero’s don't always have to be recognized.…

Heroes are and can be everyday people they do not have to be able to fly, but a person who makes a difference. Heroes can be determined by the challenges they face and their characteristics. Some of these traits are patriotism, determination, and courage. To start off with, one of the attributes a hero has is patriotism. The poem, A Man states, “while fighting for his country he lost an arm”. This man who lost his arm has strong patriotism, because he did not have to choose to fight for his…

I had always found it difficult to accurately define who I am and what my purpose in life was. It was not until a friend of mine introduced me to the Myers-Briggs Personality Test that I had a clear understanding of my value to the world. After I took the test, the results labeled me as an INFJ. As an INFJ, we are extremely rare, comprising of only 1-2% of the population. There are many characteristics that I found about the INFJ personality that I have and believe are particularly valuable to…

My Reflection’s on “Let It Snow” Have you ever had an opinion about the story Let It Snow by David Sedaris? In the next couple of paragraph’s I will be analyzing the story and writing my reflections on some of the issues and ideas that arise in this story. The snowstorm makes a correlation to Sedaris's childhood by showing how hectic it was at times. Like a snowstorm, a family could be just as dysfunctional when the snowstorm hits like a fight it is hectic but once it has died down…

When we are little we all have our own definitions of what a hero is in our eyes. Some heroes wore capes or crowns, but a big hero that gets overlooked often are the ones in combat boots. My hero is one of the men who wore combat boots his name is Chris Kyle. Kyle is known to the world for his famous movie “American Sniper”, but to the ones who knew him personally, he wasn’t just a soldier. He was a man who had compassion for the world. Above all Chris Kyle was such a loving and selflessness man…

The word snuffles is synonymous with the action of sniffling and snivelling, meaning the sharp intake of breath or mucous which results in an audible sound. This word is supposedly not a commonly known English word, and is often replaced by its more common synonym “sniffling”. Originating from the Dutch word “snuffelen”, the word originally meant “to sniff about, pry”, which is similar to its modern day definition. To be more specific, the modern day definition of the term snuffling refers…

people claiming to know who the killer was and “Arthur Leigh Allen was a popular candidate for the Zodiac killer, having been identified as Hartnell and Mageau as their attacker.” However DNA evidence did not link Allen to any of the crimes. In 2007 David Fincher released “Zodiac” a movie made about the Zodiac killer. This is, once again, glorifying serial killers. In the United States alone “Zodiac” has grossed over 33 million dollars. Any serial killer would be at the peak of their demented…
