Extra time

There are many moments in life that I look back upon and I don't realize their significance until later. When I hurt my shoulder last year pitching and was referred to physical therapy, I was not looking forward to waking up an extra hour earlier to go to a place that I had been to five years before. When I was nine years old I was diagnosed with a collapsed vertebra in my neck that turned out to be a rare form of cancer called Histiocytosis. I had to wear a cervical collar for a year and the…

two years and is not stopping any time soon. Big data is known to be huge and complex. The data generated by people and machines come from social media sites, purchases, and from search engines. Over the years and with the help of technology companies have acquire data from its customers in many different ways. Now, most of the machines are smart and they send the data automatically to the company. Big data has the ability to provide advantages, but at the same time it has its disadvantages.…

Do they serve as resting ground? How does this tie in with faith? The answer may seem rhetorical but I am convinced that Christ is an advocate of third places being that He spend most of his time in open spaces. He carried with Him the ultimate task of salvation but did not forsake assembling with strangers and indeed welcomed “strangers” to be His disciples. The importance of third place goes beyond the trivial idea of simply having a space…

I believe that my top five strengths have definitely played a major role in shaping my personal theology and who I am today. My first strength is competition, which of course is a major part of me. My competitive nature is probably what has driven me to excel in all things I do, particularly in sports and education. Sometimes this characteristic of mine can be quite annoying though, because I tend to take things to seriously even when it should be a lighthearted event. My second strength is…

they have. There’s a misconception that moments stop, but that’s impossible. Right now is connected to ten years ago, but it’s also attached to a million futures, no definitive length only indefinite time. So in every moment we begin again, continuing to mold our stories. Just another once upon a time. Learning is so much more than school to me. The typical system of education has little value in my eyes. We grow from reading between the lines and infusing passion into our environments. I…

culture is become more and more influence for what I have observed in the world in the time period that we are currently in. There are more people in the world now then there were five…

The five strengths the strength quest gave me include deliberative, futuristic, responsible, input and significance. For the most part I already knew that I had these skills. Input and significance were pretty new to me, but not a total surprise. I think each of these will benefit me very well in the future. I think that these will all be useful now and in the future. I have always planned for the future so I wasn’t surprised when I received futuristic as one of my strengths. I am always…

class was that we did not physically have to attend the class. That was nice because I got to sleep in a little more. That also left extra time for me to work and put in a couple more hours. What also came beneficial with this was that we got to do our work when we wanted to. This was nice because there would be days that I would be extremely busy and I wouldn 't have time to do my homework that exact day. Even though there was due dates on it, the due dates were somewhat fairly apart so that…

Welfare Assistance is well known throughout the United States and has been around for many decades. The real question is, is welfare a permanent solution or a temporary fix to the massive widespread issue in today’s society? The welfare system in the United States performs a wide variety of functions to assist people who are in need of help. There are many different assistance programs, but the more dominate ones are cash, food, child care assistance, medical, housing, social security, education…

into memory. "Some information gets into memory, virtually automatically while other information takes effort. “. (Santrock, John W., Mittener, John D. 2001. pg. 219) Next, the information is transferred to storage- the retention of information over time. After encoding the information, we need to retain it. The three main stores of memory are the sensory, short-term and long-term memory which varies according to memory. The first stage of memory, sensory memory holds information from the…
