Holiday

What is summer? The majority of kids, if asked, will tell you that summer signifies the end of school, the start of fun and freedom. You will find some kids at the pool, the mall, or sleeping in. Many stay home and play video games, while others go to the beach. Instead of spending my time at the pool or with friends, I hung-out with furry, four-legged beast and some rambunctious two-legged, little people. As you will learn, this summer, for me, has been a time of learning responsibility. Ever…

Reflective Essay This past summer -- 2016 – was beautiful, amazing, fantastic, and I completely loved every second of it. I say this because I did a lot of things in this long vacation like, buy shoes and wallets. Speaking of shoes, I wore yellow Adidas originals when I rode the airplane to do a parachuting activity. Meaning I jumped off a plane, which was really scary. We didn’t even plan to go parachuting, it just happened so suddenly. I hadn’t wanted to go, but I am glad that I did it…

In the Harvard Business Review case study Is the Rookie Ready? by Sarah Green we see a company faced with a big, much needed, opportunity (Green, 2009).

On average, 75% of Americans gain the majority of the weight during the holiday season. An NIH study found that people usually gain one to two pounds during the holidays and they almost never drop the weight. While that doesn’t seem like much. Gaining two pounds over the course of 10 years amounts to 20 pounds of weight that will be difficult to come off. Holiday weight gain can be tricky. That’s because you’re likely not noticing that it’s happening. You’re being invited to a ton of parties…

Article Analysis In the article, “It’s A Sad State Of Affairs When We Can’t Even Refer To Every Holiday As Christmas”, Gerald Crump argues that America has went down the drain with political correctness and inclusivity, by taking away the ability to say, “Merry Christmas”, on any given holiday without being shunned for doing so.
