“I Told My Son…” The other day while I was driving, my son saw a homeless man and have asked me that “how can I know which homeless person become homeless because he was a bad person”, he thinks homeless people becomes homeless because they are bad or they did something bad. If he asked me that question before I took this class my answer to him would be completely different than what I just told him. I am ashamed to say that I used to think that people become homeless or fail in life because…

Over the course of the last 15 years, my body has been taken over by FBI handlers for experimentation ad surveillance. It started just after September 11, 2001, and it has caused immense challenges for me in my own life. I went from running my own business to slapping myself, yelling and being completely unable to work. My business closed down, and I was put into a mental hospital by my father. This was done, I believe, as an attempt to discredit me by diagnosing me as bipolar and schizophrenic.…

that it can be a form of destruction to property that are owned by others. It takes a lot of money in order to get rid of the graffiti from public places. MDOT annually spends over $100,00 just to paint over or power-wash the graffiti off of the freeways in Metro Detroit (Greenwood, 2011). Some would say that graffiti is a way of trespassing on someone's property because they did not seek permission to paint. No one likes to wake up and see their property destroyed with inappropriate pictures or…

The Distraction Over the years nature has become less relevant to the people. It has been pushed to the back of their minds and forgotten about. What do fill their minds are the technological advances of society. Berry sees this in himself; he sees how his life is being taken over by the society. To free his mind he went off into the woods where he took the time to escape his normal everyday life. He valued his time in solitude and it changed his mind set after the couple days he was there.

In the face of calamity, the cry for leadership rings more a screech. As the rain came pouring down over coastal Texas at the end of last month, mother nature surely produced the most ideal conditions for a leadership situation.

This essay will examine the…

hurting and there is nothing you can do to help but to take them to the hospital. The pain and suffering in the world makes me upset. I still have a positive outlook that it is meant to be and there is a reason for it. Someone cutting me off on the freeway makes me upset for an instant but soon after I laugh and wish that they get to their destination safe. “It (happiness) does not depend on outside events, but rather, on how we interpret them” (Csikszentmihalyi 608). I have learned that I can…

“Pets are humanizing. They remind us we have an obligation and responsibility to preserve and nurture and care for all life.” This is a famous quote by the famous American actor James Cromwell who acted in Star Trek and was the son of John Cromwell. This quote relates to a life-changing event in my life when I learned that sometimes pets help us realize that we have responsibility to this world. Two years ago on a hot summer day, we were just about ready to go. My dad, mom and sister named…

rely on the player’s success to showcase the equipment in a positive fashion. Their hope each week is that a player using a Scotty Cameron putter wins the tournament each weekend. They don’t have television advertisements or billboards on the local freeways, but it works for them. They currently have over one hundred million dollars in worldwide sales (Sports &…
