I Live My Life for You

the lives of everyday people as well. Balance is probably the principle that most people want in the lives. Everyone wants to strive for a symmetric (equal on all sides) type of life. Balance helps to make sure a person doesn’t take on too much, as in a job, and have their home life suffer because they are being pulled to responsibility more than the other. Another principle we like to keep in order throughout of lives is variety and unity. People like and need variety and unity in their lives…

professional job. From the moment, you begin working in the medical field, whether it is as a First Responder, an Emergency Medical Technician, or a Transplant Surgeon, you learn to not discriminate a patient for their gender, religion, ethnicity or the way they choose to live their life. As a doctor, I cannot break the bond I have built with my patients. If I do not do the job expected of me, and I set my needs and wants before the well-being of my patients, I could lose my job, my license, and…

emphasized, but I never really understood it until now. As the class developed, I started to realize that it is the difference between ordinary and extraordinary. I don’t want to end world hunger, or improve the education for those who are economically struggling. I want to do more and be more than just ordinary. I want to be extraordinary and leave my mark on this world. I want to make my legacy uniquely my own. “Veni – I came”(Pontz 5). When I arrived in this world, I was born to survive. As…

versus nurture, I believe that nurture has a greater effect on the development of the personality and action of a child. One can quote study after study and give statistic after statistic; however, I believe that personal experience speaks volumes. There are definitely some things that I know are predestined such as hair color and eye color. I have met several people over the past few years whose lives have given support to my belief that nurture outweighs nature. My own life is an example…

“Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both.” C. Wright Mills. Sociological Imagination is a term that Mills uses to describe the ability to “think yourself away from the familiar routines of everyday life.” and then to look at this in a different perspective. It is the way we can relate our lives to society. These outside sources can shape our lives as a whole. We can not hide from what society puts in front of us. It may…

concepts I can relate to are the family unit, marriage – and its alternatives, and after divorce. A family unit for some is easy to define and for others it can be a little more complicated. The easiest and most common way to define someone’s family unit is the group of people related to them by…

ALS. He expresses his thoughts on life and on death, and about everything in life people usually have a hard time expressing. I really did like this book in the fact of he talks about things that have gone through my mind at some point. Also just hearing Morries stories leading to how he lived his last days and how he grew was inspiring. Some aphorisms that stood out to me were, 1. “...Love is how you stay alive, even after you're gone” 2. “What if today were my last day on earth” 3. “Money is…

document my life. As I sit here thinking about what music I would like to use for the soundtrack, I start to think about all of the things that I have been through in my 40 years of life. All of those hurdles that I have had to climb over and the songs start to flow through my mind. So many songs to choose from, but as I narrow them down to the top four, I feel that I can set the mood of how I have picked up the pieces of my life and in turn turned my life around. The first song that I have…

principle for behavior. I live by many philosophies; some examples are, your word is you 're bond, I am no better than any living thing always stay humble, and very few things are facts most things come down to perspective. My personal philosophy is “nothing ventured nothing gained” and this is my personal philosophy because if you don 't venture you won 't grow as a person, you get to will live life more since it allows you to experience new things and it cuts back regrets you might have for…

“This how you sweep a whole house; this is how you sweep a yard; this is how you smile to someone you don’t like at all…” (Kincaid). This short story gives all girls the advice needed to become a successful girl. The thematic significance of this short story explicitly reports the knowledge and experiences of someone older. The character of this story is a young girl evolving over time with advice from someone she admires. I felt this short story resembles more than just what the title says, but…
