I Understand It

their talents. I find this topic very interesting because sports is always going to be around, from pop warner levels to the professionals. I’ve recently been grateful enough to be a collegiate athlete. It is a hard task to balance being a student and an athlete because you are constantly working on your craft and studying. I would have certainly loved the idea of being paid to do what I loved while studying in the field of my interest. As I become more aware of both sides of the argument I tend…

experience firsthand. I had always been fascinated by the parts of the world that have gone nearly untouched. I’m that one adrenaline junkie that you seem to always seem come across. It was spring break of 2015 when my dad had planned our trip to Bonaire, one of the top diving destinations in the world. I was so excited to go to this place under the surface where I could just stop caring about everything else and just focus on the now. About a week or two before hand, I had went to prom and…

internet as both text and video formats, and commented upon in many newspaper and news sites. Throughout the essay, I will be focusing on the techniques Jobs used to ensure that his audience were both entertained and inspired. He used a variety of techniques such as emotive language, humor, rhetorical questions, allusions to poetry, metaphors, similes, direct address and flattering. I will also address the structure of his speech which is almost formed like a neat essay containing introduction,…

career, being more organized and helping me help my peers. Before AVID I felt like a beginner in an intermediate dance class. AVID has helped me by being m dance instructor, helping me step by step. AVID, being my dance instructor helped me become more focused and serious on what I wanted to do and how I would get to that point in life. Before AVID I wasn’t really worried about life would be like after high school or what I wanted to do. This class has opened my eye up to a variety of…

Communication I and Thou Response Paper Martin Buber’s I and Thou contains three sections each consisting of observations and ideas of various lengths. When read individually these observations are not pieces of a story that all chronologically go together, but rather smaller parts of a larger argument that Buber is making. In the first part of the book Buber establishes the foundation for his larger argument, which is that man has two ways of interacting with the world- the way of “I-It”…

of the experiences I am currently still going through. It’s been a crazy emotional roller coaster for me, especially being young and still living at home. When I found out I was pregnant, I didn’t know what to do. I was scared to tell the father of my baby, but more terrified to tell my parents. I had plans for my future that did not involve having a baby. This is my experience of being in school and pregnant. First I thought it was just the flu, but this flu was nothing like I had ever…

The first time I went to the career center was in my sophomore year. I was extremely stressed about declaring my major since this decision would determine the course of my future career. My indecisiveness began inhibiting my academic progress due to enrolling in irrelevant classes. It was during this walk-in that I first met Kay. Her friendliness helped ease the anxiety I felt about my situation and allowed me to comfortably disclose my thoughts, fears, and opinions. Kay understands that…

I thought it was extremely informative and the author did a great job at keeping me intrigued. There were parts where the story was boring but he did a good job at putting in something that interesting happened to allow the book to pick back up. Some of the points I thought were interesting was how the families acted towards each other. One spot in the book it talked about after Constantine…

things were very interesting and I can honestly say I enjoyed researching this topic. However, despite all the things I learned, there are more things I wish to learn more about. I probably could have written at least a 20 page paper on this topic alone if I had covered every aspect of the Dark Ages themselves. To be completely honest, I could have easily just written this on the fall of Rome itself and the many factors that contributed to it. That is something I would have liked to dig deeper…

In my last proposal I talked about the Romans, who were the majority and the Christians in Rome who were the minority. I began to explain that the emperors of Rome persecuted the Christians because they disliked what they believe in and that they didn’t follow the emperors rules. The persecutions were the main problems of Christianity. I also discussed the multiple ways of persecutions that they went through and why the Christians accepted it. I spoke about the evolution of emperors and what…
