Jump Associates

and Gene, too — Finny comes to represent the "essence of this careless peace." While Finny likes to defy authority, play games, and jump out of trees — all of these essentially childish activities — Gene, by contrast, wants to become an adult and feels that he should learn how to live in the grown-up world. His basic nature points him in the direction of conventionality and conformity, and…

Going to work and doing the same thing day after day gets to be monotonous. Wouldn’t it be nice to give all associates variety in daily duties to enhance their knowledge of the company? Giving associates the opportunity to learn other jobs within the business can be beneficial in many ways to both the associates and the patients. In most medical offices each associate is only trained to do one set of tasks. They are either trained to do the front office tasks, back office tasks and selling…

At this point about a third as much as previously done when he went to jump earlier. He had his right arm bent with his hand holding onto the back of his head. He had all of his fingers and his palm touching the back of his head. His other hand was outstretched entirely. He made the motion of a sprinkler, going slowly one way and then digressing partly back the other. While making this sprinkler motion, he twisted at his torso to make the rotation effect of the sprinkler. Every time he…

make it to summer workouts on time. After workouts me and a few others from the basketball team would go up to the gym and shoot around. Then at 12:00 i would have to be at work. I had the perfect summer job, I worked at the Pawnee bathhouse as a lif guard. Days at the bathhouse were fun and entertaining. One of my favorite times was when Caleb finally “jumped” off the high dive. He was are most loyal swimmer coming everyday we opened from the beginning. Everyone gave him a hard time about not…

Or you don’t even have to jump at all, it’s up to you.” I had to think for a little bit about this. The history here is a little bit deeper than I would like to admit. I had only started hanging out with Mikayla’s friends since the beginning of the summer. Zach was definitely a person I could trust, but I was still a little skeptical about jumping with him. This was my biggest fear that we were talking about here. This was the obstacle that haunted my nightmares. This was the one thing that has…

middle of the large rocks debating on whether or not to go back and chicken out. I could hear my dad yelling encouraging comments, while my siblings were telling me how much I was missing out on. I could almost feel the smooth stone cold rock crumble beneath my rough bare feet. I took another small terrified step closer to my doom as I looked over the sharp edge, seeing the dark water get further and further down from the edge. I quickly retreated back to my previous spot and crawled on all…

foot deep pool of water were extremely terrifying. On one side of the pool was a platform where you could dive off of, and the other were sharp rocks you could cut yourself on them if you didn’t dive far enough. I remember yelling to my brother “I’m scared, Ernie! I don’t want to jump! It’s too deep!” All I remember hearing from him is “Don’t be a wimp! You won’t have a chance to do this again! Just do it!” With that being said, I took a deep breath, held it, and jumped as high and as far as I…

about whether or not he survived the jump that enabled him to get away on that night. This debate stems from the plethora of facts that can back up either side of the story. Who knows how it has been over forty years with the case still open and still unsolved. Although it may never be proven whether D.B. Cooper lived or died after his attempted hijacking, there is definitely reason to believe that he could have survived the jump. It all started on the day the before Thanksgiving when a man…

We all were pretty surprised and so he explained with “Hell with it i’m getting old”.So we all went up and crossed the river; even the old guy without falling. My family all jumped and we all waited for the old man to jump. At one he jumped and we all saw what was wrong. The old guy instead of crossing his feet and arms was horizontal about to belly flop from 55 feet. He hit the water and we all heard a huge smack. My dad and our guide rushed in and helped him out of the water. He hadn’t opened…
