Gratitude

providing care for underserved communities. The time I have spent with the Native Americans of the Gila River Indian Community has been the most professionally rewarding of my life. I enjoy their culture, their sense of community and their sincere gratitude. It is a incredible feeling to know I am working with people who really need my help in a place where I can make a real difference. I want to attend ATSU. I appreciate the approach of treating the whole person, not just prescribing medicines.…

I attended Pi Beta Phi Elementary School from kindergarten through eighth grade. Through my time there, I learned many things which still influence my life today. My experiences during my nine years as a mountaineer influenced my knowledge, gratitude for my surroundings, and my appreciating for the people in my life. As a kindergartener, Mrs. Kathy taught me how to read, and as a sixth grader, I took AR tests in Mrs. Smith’s class over the entire Harry Potter series. The foundation and…

We decided in my second year at United Way (1979) to produce some United Way radio ads on a new program called “Service and Referral.” It was an effort to let people know about the various organizations that are funded by United Ways (they were different in each community) and how to reach them. I decided to approach Hyman Brown, who had produced the CBS Radio Mystery Theater and before that Inner Sanctum. He was a master. He could use words to create stories that were incredibly compelling. I…

Although “Still I Rise”, “Those Winter Sundays”, and “Unwelcome” all analyze the theme of unwantedness, they utilize different literary devices and figurative language such as repetition and symbolism to build up the audience’s sympathy while in conjunction of creating a strong rhythm with the use of consonance and rhyme scheme. Poetry allows authors to express the hardships that may have taken place within their lives with the use of literary devices. For example, in the poems “Still I Rise”…

2009 and 2012, during a period of a lengthened economic recovery. Our nation has decreased homeless veterans by 17 percent. More needs to be done, but we have achieved a remarkable reversal. Hopefully, these numbers will continue to decrease. Our gratitude for veterans should not be a one day a year event, but an commitment on every day of every year. There must be no question that this great nation provides the smartest, most talented, and courageous people in the world. By the way we act and…

With the first month of the New Year slowly fading, the time is passing with a swiftness that is both anticipated and undesired. The past year’s triumphs and blessings were received with gratitude, but oftentimes shaded with drab shadows that hang over my existence. At times, I wallowed in its sweet anguish like a pig left to wallow in its own feces, and sunk further into self-examination. Too often, I passed the weeks under a dark cloud, wondering if or when the golden light of the sun might…

Enthusiasm is a form of persuasiveness that causes others to develop and interest and willingness to accept what the leader is attempting to accomplish (Bethel, 2016). Reverently, Lincoln’s humanitarian instincts were evident in his actions and vision for the future of America. Even though, Lincoln’s life had been filled with adversity and his path to success was not easy; he strove for victory (Alvy & Robbins, 2012). What was Lincoln’s vision, mission, and values? Ideally, a vision should be…

First, I’m going to talk about voting for our representatives. The __ of…
