Greatest common divisor

Many Americans heard the call. Many Americas stood tall. All gave some. Some gave all. Sacrifices made by the men and women serving our nation on the frontlines of battlefields around the world and at home earned them the name, “The Greatest Generation”. This name was bestowed upon them for their unrelenting patriotism. I am referring to the men and women of the WW II era who braved dangers and performed deeds to defend the US Constitution and the American way of life. They accepted…

On late Friday morning, Mr. Johnson left his house and talked to his neighbor Edward Nygma who had recently lost his wife in a car accident. “Good morning Edward,” Mr. Johnson said, “how are you doing today?” “I’m doing ok, I guess.” Edward replied, “just a little tired.” “Well here’s some cash to go buy yourself something nice today,” Mr. Johnson said Mr. Johnson then walked down the street a couple of blocks through the busy crowd. When he bumps into a…

At my best, I am driven and determined, working towards a goal. I am passionate about what I study and what I do, and I use that passion to drive my work ethic.

If I was caring for Tom, I would call the doctor to inform him or her that I will not administer blood to Tom, just as Eliese did, because he expressed clearly he does not want to receive the blood. Although, it would be difficult, as the patients advocate I believe we must respect their wishes and beliefs.

After reading her piece I knew for sure I was supposed to share this. Because…

Additionally, the evaluation method should be as simple as possible to ensure seamless implementation and not add extra burden to those that will have to implement it. As a collection manager evaluates the collection strategy they must be able to reference…

Many people drive and influence me. To do my best every single day and push way beyond what I think is possible. There are times that can get me into trouble because of my standards. I try my best in all areas of life. Feeling like this can make my life harder because I accept nothing less, but that means I give it my all. I am a perfectionist. There is one person that had the biggest impact on me and that is Phoebe from the tv show “Charmed”. She has made a big influence on my life, by giving…
