Part-time employment

looked for anything to occupy my time whether that be a swingset or a bunch of rocks to skip. I eventually found another small patch of sand around the size of a door. I sat down on the sand and put my feet in the cold water and just looked out into the river as I realized no one had phone service and that we could be on the island for a long while. I got up after about 5 minutes and pulled out my phone which was a sliding phone at the time and I checked the time, it was around two in the…

would be able to count on watching it with my family every time it aired. We put aside our individual tasks and problems and gathered around the TV every Friday to watch Five-O. The shows characters gave prominent examples of leadership, honor, and morals, and many lessons from the show still stick with me today. Hawaii Five-O taught me a lot of things about family and what’s really important, and it brought me closer to my family every time we sat down to watch it. As soon as the show first…

help each other stay on track and on the right path. My parents influenced me to follow my faith even though it could be hard at times. My parents want me to grow into a person that knows that there is always someone there to help and guide me even if they aren’t there. I will always follow my religion and never forget what I learned through the years. It’s a big part of who I am. Another value that is important to me is Education. Education is learning that helps your mind grow and achieve…

dad needed to go to ESL classes across town. That was the childhood I grew up with, and to me that was perfectly normal. That was just my life, but now as I reflect upon my childhood, that is not the nuclear American life people see. In my hardest times of life, my parents have been the strength and the glue that made everything okay. They 've instilled this strength and this great feeling of accomplishment in everything I did, and I believe that is what has helped me overcome all these…

explains that when people take shortcuts in their reading due to the lack of time, they end up skimming their reading. I tried to finish a reading as fast as possible by looking at the reading questions first and then skimming the text. This way, I would just look for the answers in the text instead of reading the whole thing twice. We tend to read more nowadays because of how we read; when we skim a text, we have enough time to read more, leading to Dwight’s term of being “well informed”. I…

license. Well all the kids were to young so we just did the normal ones, and had a blast. Then another night we had family cookout and camp fire. We cooked burgers and hot dogs, also had smores. We spent a lot of the time chilling out around the fire and tell stories from all different times in everyone’s life. The day after my uncles girlfriend was at the green kiddy lift, well this was only here 3rd day skiing. So as she was getting on the lift, she was to far to one side and the bar picked…

determine but many times we will focus on what seems to be the main idea of a story while the true weight is the thought, worries, and dreams that we let bog us down. In…

Confidence and other attributes can be acquired through exercise, but in order to accomplish their goals they will have to do something that many Americans and students in general refuse to do. They will have to exercise. Exercise is hard work and often times students would rather cheat by using drugs to improve themselves or their social life, but drugs often have many long term effects that will lead to more harm than good. Exercise has many long term effects too, but these effects are…

Universal determinism is the thesis that every event is fully determined by an event or several events that proceeded it. It was Pierre Laplace who pointed out that the present state of the universe is the effect of its preceded state (Litch 121). It is the past that creates the present and it is the present that determines the future. Everything is what is now because it was determined by something in the past. According to Mary Litch, “Events in the past are determined and fixed: we may regret…

Sports. Sex. Screen. My dad names these “three S’s” as the most common factors of distraction for mankind, and says that they tend to make people forget about the more significant things in life. Most specifically, today’s pop culture has made screen or television broadcasting so popular that most people cannot imagine living in a world where such things do not exist. As a matter of fact, media has not only become an accessible tool, but a habit and ritual in most peoples’ lives. In the midst of…
