Doing It

my abilities while doing so. Another way I feel the program will be beneficial to me is by boosting my confidence level as not only a performer but as a person. When it comes to performing I have a bad habit of doubting myself and whether or not I am doing or singing the right thing. As a person I tend to over-analyze what I am doing or saying and if I am doing those things in the correct way. My hope is that this program will enforce the thought into my brain that I am doing the right thing…

about a small village in the 50s with a sinister tradition. Every year they have a lottery where you don't want to win. Instead of a hefty cash reward you are stoned to by not only your fellow villagers but your family and friends. They are still doing the lottery because they think this will help with growing crops and they don't want to embrace change so they still believe in this far-fetched story. It was once a sacrifice but turned into a recurring tradition. First and foremost, the lottery…

never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.” These are words every American should live by. Another popular yet terrific example is the famous Martin Luther King Jr. He wrote in his letter to Birmingham about a lady who he crossed paths with, she was standing up for her beliefs as well, her quote is one I will ever forget. She said,"My feets is tired, but my soul is at rest." These are words I live by as I face hardships as well, when you're doing something for the good of…

split between the Joint Detention Group and the JTF Public Affairs Office. “As usual, the Tennessee Army National Guard is doing exemplar work,” said U.S. Army Command Sgt. Maj. Mike Gentry, the Tennessee command sergeant major. “Everybody that we have spoken to speaks highly of all of our troops, whether it be the MPAD or the MPs. There mission is critical and they are doing an outstanding job.”…

homework usually start to have problems with themselves. Also, it makes the students very overwhelmed and miserable. I understand that doing homework will help students practice a subject or learn more about it. Assigning homework to students is detrimental because it can lead to health problems, it gives students not enough free time to do other activities too. Also, doing homework after school will decrease their scores. The first reason why teachers should not assign homework is because it…

like the minimum wage should be raised and that people should be getting paid more than they are getting paid right now. There are a few reasons why I feel this way and strongly believe that something should be done about the situation. People are doing to much work for what they are getting paid so it makes the people feel overworked. One of the reasons that I feel this way is because with what I am getting paid right now it is hard for me to pay my bills. $7.35 is not enough to live off of…

The thematic tension doing what's morally right takes priority over doing what feels emotionally right is shown in this short story by Tom Godwin. After the pilot learns what he has to do, he assures the girl of her unfortunate fate when he says, "I'm sorry," he said again. "[The girl will] never know how sorry I am. It has to be that way and no human in the universe can change it” (5). This quote shows how the pilot wishes he could change the way things have to be, but he must follow orders…

Do school suspensions work? People think that school suspensions do not work while others think they do and they have been trying to prove one is true. School suspensions do tend to work though and schools should continue to suspend kids for doing the wrong thing. Suspending the student can show the student that there are punishments for their actions, the students are placed in a supervised setting that can help them get disciplined for the thing they got suspended for, and it can help students…

I focus more on what the lower half of my body is doing than using my port te bra to guide myself through the exercises at a performance quality level. While watching our midterm video, I noticed that I would stop using my port te bra and leave it in à la seconde while focusing on the technique of my lower half. During my midterm meeting, Dr. Sims mentioned I sometimes tend to shorten the use of my port te bras during exercises in class. By doing this, it allows my performance level to be seen…

kind of lottery. “Winning” grants you, as it did that year to Tessie Hutchinson, a nice and unpleasant death by the whole village throwing rocks at you. Seeing as this is such a weird and cruel practice, there must be some reason for the villagers doing it. And I claim that the lottery is an ancient ancestral tradition that the villagers don’t want to upset. There are several pieces of evidence in the text to support my claim. For example, the text states that “The original paraphernalia for…
