As people are put in a group, they are told to cooperate together. In the group all participants are told to equally cooperate and everyone will receive pay. But if one does not cooperate then the one who did recieves a lower pay while the lazy one gets more money. Of course almost everytime the outcome was that one did not cooperate. This just goes to show that it is in fact human nature to chose the outcome in life that will benefit us more, justifying the claim that we are selfesh and rude. We truly are…
Being immersed in playing video games is not something I exactly regret because it sparked appreciation and love for technology outside of its entertainment applications that I will never die. I aspire to study computer science independently first and foremost and pursue a degree in it because technology has had such a strong influence on me. Everytime I see major technology companies such as Apple, Microsoft, or Samsung open up new innovate tech to the public I always become even more inspired…
My story begins like everyone else, I was born. When my parents got married, they were both young. Mom was 21 and dad was just 19. I was born one year later. Dad was in the Air Force and mom was just that, a stay-at-home mom. I don’t remember much about anything while growing up, just little moments. Mostly to do with my own activities; Playing in the mud, playing with our dog or cat, just basically kids stuff you would expect. Growing up, I was very much an introvert. Unfortunately, it was…
Life has plenty of ups and downs along the way. Some can be permanent such as losing both of your arms or becoming paralyzed due to a snow tubing accident. Others can be colossal but temporary, such as, the heartbreak losing a family member, or having to wear skin wraps due to a fire. All of us will have an obstacle whether it’s big or small, or lasts a long time or a little while. My obstacle was not permanent, but it was a course that lasted 3 years. The most challenging obstacle I have had in…
Everytime i close my eyes i dream that you're still here. Everytime i go to sleep i scream that you're still here. Or i have a nightmare. As you fade right behind my eyes that demon gives me a feeling so familiar. I can't stop it now… Oh… i can't believe this is happening to me again. The shake of my heart is rusting. My thrive for peace is slumping. I hope that soon i'll wake up. I've had enough… my paradise, is stripped and i'm weak, you'll never care, how much it hurts me. Everytime i close…
Some of my best faith experiences include CYO retreats, CHWC, and NCYC. Firstly, I have been on multiple St. Dominic CYO retreats, and I think that everytime I go my faith continues to grow. I am always experiencing different parts of faith everytime I go. During these retreats, we listen to witness talks, talk in small groups together. Secondly, CHWC stands Catholic Heart Work Camp, which is focused on service and loving others. Throughout this camp, you are given the opportunity to make a…
My three violations of social norms are wearing my jacket backwards at school, eat soup with a fork at home and say goodbye everytime I answer a phone call. My hypothesis is people will think the way of acting these things are strange and confusing, they might also feel like I am an odd person. In the case of wearing my jacket backwards, some people will tell me this mistake I made but some people will assume I am just being unusual. For eating soup with a fork, I think my parent or my brother…
I thought I was happy. Austin was with me over a year. When I was with Austin there wasn't a time in the relationship when he wasn't cheating. He was very bipolar, one day he would be perfectly fine the next day he would be abusing me. I loved Austin but he didnt love me all he liked was one thing and it was after I let him take my virginity. Austin was 17 years old which was to old but since I was so young he knew how to get his way and manipulate me. Everytime he cheated it would cause more…
desires by using dreams as an escape from his unfulfilling life; ultimately, showcasing the negative consequences to the superego dominating the ego. In The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, James Thurber portrays Mitty’s self-awareness that his desires cannot be accomplished in reality, therefore he needs to repress these desires. As reinforced by his wife, “You’re not a young man any longer” (Thurber 1). Everytime Mitty attempts to re-enact his desires he is ultimately, oppressed by his wife.…
I started my application to Old Dominion University earlier this year for the fall semester. The submission of applications and requirements was indeed a difficult task. The whole process took me a while before I was able to complete the application. Thankfully, I was accepted to this instituion. There were many factors that made my application to ODU difficult. I was recently separated from the Navy and as a result of my time in service I became accustomed to following specific orders. I got…
