Meeting of the minds

would help us start the club while also having several meetings with administration. I walked into head of administration’s office never being in a room that felt so cold and lifeless. It felt as if he was staring into my soul with his piercing brown eyes. Half way through…

In the wide scope of things, education professionals lead the world in shaping the minds of the next generations. They assist in building up the minds of today’s youth and nurture those who cannot find nurturing elsewhere. The discourse community of education professionals is more complex than what is seen on the outside and takes time to fully understand. Not just anyone can be involved in this discourse community or understand the conventions of it either. This takes special people to grasp…

The two articles that we read, “The Pope and Kim Davis: Seven Points to Keep in Mind” by James Martin, SJ and “How Pope Francis Undermined the Goodwill of His Trip and Proved to Be a Coward” by Michelangelo Signorile are mostly on logos and pathos. The only reason I think it’s based on that is because it express emotion and logic. For an example, Pope Francis told Kim Davis to “stay strong” after having a secretly meeting with her. But when the Pope met Kim Davis secretly…

Is There a Correct Way To Live Life? How do Gil Fronsdal’s “A Perfect Balance,” Dzigar Kongtrul’s “Old Relationships, New Possibilities,” and Eckhart Tolle’s “You Are Not Your Mind” relate with the way we treat the people we love? In what ways do the articles agree and disagree on meeting enlightenment? What do they say about how people should go about life to conquer our goals?

they located?" I ask. "The meeting valley, in the center of the territory. Your the boss, so what do we do Sophie?" My Uncle asks me. I think about it for a moment, before I give him my answer. "I'm getting the main part of the pack together, I'm calling a pack meeting. Release Keith and Cody for now at least" I reply.…

The book This Naked Mind is based on the true story of Annie Grace, who recalls her life of addiction to alcohol. She recounts her steps to sobriety all within her own power, by changing her unconscious and conscious thoughts. “Anything unconscious dissolves when you shine the light of consciousness on it” – Echart Tolle (p. 26, para 2). Before Annie 's sobriety, she believed as many people do, that in order to become sober it would mean a life of misery and constant struggles. "If my…

Alcoholic Anonymous meeting. I chose to go to this type of meeting because they have lots of time options in the Des Moines area, so it was convenient within my schedule. Initially, going into this I had no idea what to expect. I’ve seen a few AA meetings on movies I have watched, but other than that, I had no previous knowledge of what this meeting would be like. It first started with individual conversations amongst each other, then chairperson (the person in ‘charge’) opened up the meeting…

I had the opportunity to attend two meetings that focused on family policy. The first meeting took place on Wednesday June 15th in the Reno City Council Chamber. The title of the meeting was the Reno City Council & Redevelopment Agency Board; I spent one hour at this meeting. During this meeting, nine people were present. In attendance were the mayor, the city Hall Attorney, the Assistant City Hall Attorney, the City Manager, and five wards. My second meeting took place on Friday June 24th at…

Reflection on Group The group I decided to attend was a Narcotics Anonymous (NA) group in my local community. I was invited to the NA meeting to celebrate a friend’s one year anniversary of sobriety. I thought this was a great opportunity to observe group members and experience an NA meeting. As I walked into the basement of the church to attend the NA meeting, I was greeted graciously with handshakes and hugs from a few group members at the door. I sat in the back of the room, in order to get…
