Doing It

This poem called “Your Name is X” by Juan Felipe is not an easy poem to understand all together but sentence by sentence I have some clue what he is trying to say. The first sentence would have many meanings such as the hands are trembling because his hands are so tired of physical labor he can 't control the trembling, or maybe it 's because of old age were his hands tremble just because of the age that he has. Reading the other sentences his hands might be trembling due to the fact that he is…

I agree that it is important to strive to be a wide achiever, and also that promptness, giving all of your effort and looking for what needs to be done and doing it are necessary…

“Never accept less than your best from yourself.” An excerpt that is restated by parents, teachers, colleagues, and employers into children’s minds. I only marvel what its real meaning holds. People’s minds interpret all things in various ways. When you say a color, or a certain food, some people may think of picnics and love while others may envision the time it gave them food poisoning. So I guess the only question with this quote is what does it mean to me? This quote could be summed up in…

I want my career involving connecting with…

Krakauer has written about when a flash flood ruined Mccandless’s car, Chris took this as an opportunity to shed his unnecessary baggage. I think that a lot of people would like to shed their unnecessary baggage just as Chris did, but we often can not bear to part with trivial things. I would like to think that I could be rid of my cell phone, laptop, and a car. Similarly, I would not be able to lose books, or my friends and family. Cell phones in the twenty-first century are absolutely viewed…

often found when out with a group of friends or even with another person alone, myself and the other person are compulsed to check their phones to see what people are doing. I feel shame to take part in this behavior instead of trying to introduce a new subject or share some interesting tidbit. It feels sad to see what other people are doing and also internally compare yourself to someone when around others. To be in this day and age is a blessing and a curse, you have access to all the…

games make homework less tolerable and will impact the effort put into doing it. Homework is an important part of school and for students to be successful in their chosen subjects they must complete it with as much effort as possible. Even though most young people don’t enjoy doing homework, they understand it must be completed. This mind-set could possibly be altered by video games and will lead students to think they can be doing better more enjoyable activities than homework. If the above…

I wrestle. I am also a girl. I’ve never been one to brag much, but in this particular case, I am very proud of my accomplishments. I almost always tell people about them. I love the sport of wrestling, and I spend every day doing it. It has given me quite a few characteristics that make me unique and that definitely set me apart from others; these include perseverance, boldness, and humbleness. These traits are very good to know when dealing with my everyday life. Perseverance is one of the…
