It was almost forty-two years ago today, that Murray Fisher was stationed at Pearl Harbor. He was a code keeper during war. As the days passed by while fighting, Murray wrote letters everyday, and sent them back home to his family. On his eighty-first birthday, Murray handed his daughter, Karen, a collection of his letters. Karen read all of his letters, and became facinated. Along the way of reading these letters, there were a few ups and downs in the relationship she had with her father. Every…

Children Development Based on Religion There is a saying that goes, “The apple does not fall far from the tree." Children have always been judged based on the roots of their parents. It 's also like the saying, "like mother, like daughter." However, it is wrong to think that a child will be this way or that way just by judging them solely based off of their parents. There are many contributing factors that help develop children and that influences them to be who they are. One contributing factor…

and push me to apply for the program, but one of the things that appealed to me the most was the opportunity to come to the University of Memphis during the summer before fall classes start and get a feel for the campus and transition into college life. This aspect grasped my attention the most because it gives students an opportunity to get on campus early and get a feel for it. This is beneficial because when other freshman come in they can look to me or the other leaders for guidance. Also it…

and less.” -Joseph B. Wirthlin. Plane wrecks, car crashes, disease, terrorism and natural disasters are a few of the countless tragedies that happen today. All of these rob us of our loved ones and steel the happiness out of life. We are surrounded by the wonders in life so often, we tend to take them for granted. But someday, these burglars might steal from you; when you will least likely see it coming. It will make you wish you…

the last few days made me realize a lot. I saw the ghost of a person. Someone who could no longer walk, or talk. The outline of what once had been, now crippled, small, and dying. All of this had happened in the blink of an eye. It made me appreciate life so much more. You never know when something can be taken from you. You never know when it’s too late. I am not the same person I once was, that person is dead. Gone. I have learned to cherish my family and never take anything for granted. My…

Life cycles happen all day, everyday, and all around the world. They are part of every living thing, including us, humans. Learning about life cycles is an important milestone for children, because it helps them to learn how to better respect and care for those around them. Life cycles can be taught in many numbers of ways and can help children to understand and deal with death, births, and everyday changes and growth around them (Arnett). In this sense, “Life cycle stages are sequential and…

shines through and inspiration saves the fearful. The only thing that makes us all the same, is the fact we aren’t. “ Only dead fish go with the flow.” Many people are alive but they are not living. Life becomes boring when everyone does the same thing. Originality is something that can fill life with pure joy and excitement but only if people would stop being afraid to show it. Fear brings regrets, and regrets bring sadness.…

LeAlan had a rough home life. His mother had a mental illness and so his grandmother became his main caregiver. Adolescence is already a time of turmoil and apparent dislike for authority figures. Although LeAlan had those more troubling behaviors, he also expresses his love for his grandmother. “One thing I think about almost every night is what it would be like if my grandmother died. Sometimes I have a dream that god calls her….I might act bad around her and get mad at her, but deep down I…

Schwartz had felt for a year and a month or so. He learned to appreciate life little things that it decided to bless him with. He was diagnosed with ALS in 1994 and he died 1995. Before he died, an old college student of his started to visit him more. After Morrie's passing, Mitch Albom had written a book about his college professor, Morrie, telling us about life lessons and Morrie's wise life he lived. Morrie had many life lessons to teach, and Mitch had appreciated each and everyone of them.…
