Part-time

present with all that comes our way. A while back we buried a friend. He had been sick, but his death came sooner than expected. We were barely able to keep up with the harsh pace of his illness and still struggle with his passing. Around the same time, I found a little kitten on the street, not even two weeks old, thrown away with the garbage. A carefully planned day turned chaotic the moment I picked him up. Life is not a program we can schedule for. We cannot will away events once they have…

learn from their mistakes and that's what makes them stronger. I have had many past experiences that have shaped the way I live my life, but the one that I always think about is when I fell through the ice when I was little. Ice fishing was a huge part of my life when I was little and it still is today. Some of my greatest memories are from ice fishing. My dad and I would usually go every Sunday and listen to the vikings game on the radio while in our ice house. On this Sunday, nothing was…

A crisis takes a time to build up and therefore a helper has the time to intervene before the worst has occurred. He should take care of a number of factors, early warning signs, verbal and non-verbal signals in order to prevent a crisis situation. (Saskatchewan Polytechnic, 2016. Pg. 35). If a person is with a well-developed thought out self-control plan, it becomes very easy to intervene in a hostile situation and, successfully, deal with an impulsive and aggressive individual. There are a…

Amaranth yatra is one of the most famous Hindu pilgrimages of the world which gathers lakhs of people together every year. However, it was always prone to controversies and threats. Many people travel long distances to take part in this breath taking and tiring pilgrimage by some times even risking their lives.

that teaching is going to be the best opportunity for me to connect with young children and be a positive impact in many aspects of their lives. The first time I noticed that I had even the smallest influence on children was when I was volunteering at my district’s elementary school. I would go in and help with the same class at least two times per week after I was released from my high school. I discovered the more open I was with the students the faster they felt comfortable to confide in…

It is a completely different story beyond the mirror where the name Jacob Reckless is famous, the man who hunts for magical items of exceeding rarity, Empress Therese herself uses his services, the man who escaped the…

cunning, that's all'(WSS,11), only marks out what is not there and makes plain the impossibility of any appeal to the past against an equally feared future. It is a past only existing in the parenthesis; 'My father, visitors, horses, feeling safe in bed-all belonged to the past'(WSS,5). The novel's figure for its own narrative is Antionette's dream, with its twice delayed near the conclusion and its dreaded but inevitable forward propulsion. The dream in a sense suggests a subsuming of the…

Young people have the drive to accomplish things in life, but one of the hardest things to grasp is the concept of success. Success is the opportunity to be taken and completed with a purpose, just like in the stories “Ragged Dick” by Horatio Alger and “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara. In “Ragged Dick”, a boy named Dick wants to escape poverty and tries to learn many things so he can be well prepared for success. He is able to do this after saving a little boy from drowning and getting a job…

And every time he closed his eyes, they were kids again. It had been a constant reminder of the days when they were innocent, wide-eyed and childlike, an age in which they would look at the world with curious stares and bright smiles, a time he had missed dearly despite not wanting to remember. His once high spirits had been crushed, leaving behind chaotic remains of distant memories and good times which his mind couldn't help but visualize every time he would merely blink; and his wandering…

Often times, when people start a new weight loss journey, they have the tendency to want to clear out everything that they have learned and start fresh – a concept of Tabula rasa: a blank slate. However, usually what they are starting over with is a new diet or a way of living based on an ‘expert’s’ recommendations. However, as you continue to be awakened through these exercises, you might be reminding yourself that ’starting over’ with another diet doesn’t remove emotions of regret, judgment,…
