St. Ignatius believes that we can find God in all things, at every moment, even in the most ordinary times. In the First Week of the Exercise there is a section on General Examen (SE p.25-31). The examen leads us into a relationship with a God who desires to be personally caught up in the lives of those whom he created. It is a prayer that focused on God’s presence with us in the real wold. It allows us to reflect what God is saying to us through our daily activities in participating in…

The sample included consenting students over the age of 18 who were representative of every class (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior) and which included both male and female participants. We predicted that students who…

In today’s society people who work 40 hours are considered full time, while many of them work beyond that. When it comes to a job most people do not live right down the street. Many travel 15 minutes or longer to their place of employment and have to wake up no later than 6 o’clock in order to beat the rush of traffic and make it to work on time. Not only to do they have to get up before the sun does but most full-time employees have children under the age of 18, making school and extra…

Wired for Wealth by Brad and Ted Klontz, and Rick Kahler is a phenomenal book on the psychology of wealth building. It points to the different mindsets people have about wealth that can keep them from reaching their full potential. This book also shows ways you can change these mindsets to allow for easier wealth building. This was a brief, understandable, and enjoyable book that I would recommend to anyone who is feeling stuck with their finances.…

continue to play sports. College can be very expensive for some people but some can also use their talent from the sport to get scholarships. Which brings up the reason of why college athletes should be paid. Most of the athletes aren 't able to receive full scholarships for all of the years of their college experience. Which means that they have to provide for whatever the scholarship doesn 't cover, which can be expensive for some depending on the college. Organizations like the NCAA, make…

Vision is the experience of of seeing someone or something in a dream or chance, or as a supernatural apparition. I 'm in the well being of my life currently. All my fantasies seem to come true with the act of me thinking of them daily and seeing my goals daily. I was told the more you see your goals the more it will motivate you to reach them. I didn’t exactly believe the saying until I was walking across the stage with my pre-med degree and getting my acceptance letter to my medical school of…

pressure, Zinsser refers to the pressure about tuition. He adds “Tuition, room, and board at most private colleges now comes to at least $7,000” (20). The student does not make enough to pay for their tuition even though they have a part time job or full time. This force students to pass all their classes, so they don’t have to take it again and have to pay for it the second time. I believe a student is using economic pressure as an excuse for slacking off. If…

Now, college sports have gained popularity and the issue is now being brought up by players and coaches and is very seriously being considered. College athletes have never been paid before because their scholarships have always “covered the full cost of attendance” (Koch). Since athletes always have went to college free on scholarships, no reason has ever been brought up to prove that the players should be paid. Also, college athletes are coming out and talking about how they do not have enough…

I was diagnosed with a very rare type of soft tissue sarcoma (cancer) on my head in Nov. 2011 at the age of 15. I had two major scalp surgeries to remove the cancer itself in January and February 2012, along with two other surgeries to reconstruct my scalp in summer 2014. My parents and I were scared, but we knew that we were in the knowledgeable hands of surgeons at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. My parents and I were completely shocked when we found out I had cancer. We were all in denial for…

Alyssa Loperena Ms. Milliner CUNY English EES21QH-02 9/25 There are many different thoughts that come up when college is brought up in a conversation. Why do people decide to or not to college? What were their influences? Why did they choose the major they studied? When you’re young you always ask these questions, but the biggest question is do you feel like you can do it? Everyone has the capability to go to college and pass with whatever major they decide to go under, it just depends on…
