I Do

thinking of the sloth as an animal, “slow” is the first characteristic that comes to mind. So, with that used to reference and define sloth as a sin, it is a mental, physical and spiritual laziness. In Charles Baxter’s novel, There’s Something I Want You To Do, he depicts a doctor in a tiring turmoil in the chapter called Sloth. In Sloth, a doctor is in a coffee shop as he thinks back to one of his patients whom he diagnosed with Eisenmenger syndrome. The girl had developed an infection of the…

Do I say it? How should I bring up such a topic to my parents? I know they are very supportive of me, but what will they think about this. Being in the freezing hospital is bad enough. My mom is in panic, my father is talking to the doctor, and I’m over here in a hospital bed contemplating whether I should tell them or just continue where everyone can be happy, well except for me. I decide it times to stop hiding this feeling of misery I have from them. I remember waking up that day already…

I have chosen the poem “I do not love thee” by Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton. This poems seems to be talking about someone the author knows and likes. The author, Ms. Norton seems to be saying that while she doesn’t feel true love for the subject of the poem, she enjoys their company. She even admires the person and misses them while they are gone. For the most part, I didn't find most of the poem hard to understand. However, at the very end of the poem it says “vet. Alas” and I’m not…

I always wanted to go to college and get a good degree. My hardest struggle was what I want to do after high school. What do I want to do for the rest of my life? If I start saving up money now I will be able to go to college. College takes time and dedication if you don’t have that then you are wasting your money. I been going back and forth to a couple of colleges that I would like to go to. To begin, my plans after high school that I’m going to stick with so far is to work for a year then…

Why do you play Minecraft? Minecraft is one of the few games I enjoy playing. I've always been a fan of the creativity and concept which encouraged me to purchase an account. Four years ago my adventure as a Minecraft player began and ever since I've enjoyed every second of playing it. What I find so amazing is that whatever you decide to do involves socialising wether its playing with friends or with unfamiliar people on servers which makes it more interesting. I tend to play multiplayer a…

Testament. The understanding of the Old Testament is to know God better and our place in his plan before we read the New Testament. Why do I read the Old Testament? I read the bible because everyone has differs of opinion and to get clear understanding of what I may have heard from the teaching of others I need to fill my knowledge with evidence. I must honestly say that I have never read the entirety…

this is what I want to do before I die. Some people set goals and others simply say they are just going to grab life by the bootstraps and go for it. Everyone tends to make plans for what they are going to do in their lives, but do they really ever consider what they might miss out on if they were too die right now. Everyone has goals they want to reach and things they want to do and that is why the set up a bucket list. I personally only have three things that I would really like to do; I would…

I think here, in the mission statement, what we do is what teaching is all about and what being a student is all about, if that makes any sense. Because we are able to teach in so many lessons that they are not going to learn. Teaching moments, that are so much bigger than the classroom. For me, you learn all about the kids and their relationships and their struggles and what they are going through and you can actually help them with their family issues or their breakups and all those…

One of the goals I have selected for myself in this class was not to procrastinate. I found two articles I used for resources. The first article was I’ll Do It Tomorrow: The Logic Procrastination by Lisa M Zarick and Robert Stonebraker. The second was Good and Bad Procrastination by Paul Graham. Both articles talked about different aspects of procrastination, but had the some of the same ways to prevent or help with procrastination. I found both article interesting in ways they researched on why…

otherwise outdated in todays society. William’s mostly works with poems that centre around the theme of love. Her poem ‘How much Do I Love You’ focuses on young love and the sacrifices and compromises young couples go through, this poem is a reimagining of Elizabeth Barrett browning’s “How Do I Love Thee,’ which dealt with similar themes. William’s poem, ‘How Much Do I Love You’ is told in the perspective of a young man, in this narrative he names off the multiple times he has made sacrifices…
