Expected value

The Dress Looking at myself in the mirror, I felt beautiful for the first time in a very long time. This was it! I knew I had found the dress of my dreams. How could this dress be so important to me? Others did not understand at all, but I knew I just had to have it. It was the first dress where I felt comfortable in my own skin. I looked back into the mirror, and I saw the most beautiful red dress that hugged my hips and had just enough beading to make me feel like a princess. I didn’t believe…

Mrs. Mallard’s reaction to her husband’s death shows a contradiction of an American norm during the 19th century.

A lot of the students that attend the school do not speak English and just moved to the country, and despite the fact the students receives English as a second language support classes it can still be challenging to work one on one with these students. My first significant moment involved giving instructions to…

Sexton 's was labeled a confessional poet because she possessed many qualities that gave her a great poetic voice. She pulled the norms from society and created another perspective that would only be revealed to an open minded individual who could accept another 's point of view, and criticize it against their own. According to Kaplan, Anne 's poem "Her Kind" showed Anne 's strengths for her early work by adopting the persona of a possessed witch. She expressed ambiguous attitudes toward her…

Everyone knows what it feels like to have expectations put onto them. Expectations the come from personal experience or from other people. A need to improve and do better, have the next generation be better than the previous one. Expectations that will hopefully help to motivate someone and encourage them to be the best that they can be. Yet sometimes expectations can have the complete opposite effect on someone. Destroying them from the inside out and causing them to suddenly not care anymore.…

going to be expected to be a 4.00 student and never have a social life. I am not going to be expected to graduate with 4 majors and 2 minors from a college I don’t even want to go to.

I am done with being expected to be the…
