Past

lost in our busy schedules so much that we forget to wrap our minds around our purpose. As a result, we forget to channel our inner-selves or even be cognizant that one exists. While it is important to use this inner-being to reflect on moments of our past and plan strategically for those of the future, it is equally important to be mindful, and to acknowledge and live in the present. But what exactly is mindfulness and how does one go about achieving it? I have always taken school seriously but…

The memories of my grandma will always be with me. She opened my eyes to just how paradoxical life actually is and taught me during our brief time together that a human being must be able to settle with their past, and live in the present, whilst preparing for the future. In her case it was death. I was six years old when I last saw her; two weeks before my birthday. I hadn’t known that it was the last time. I remember the time when my grandma was alert and active and how she played so many…

6. The author of “A House for Us” switches between present and past tense half way in the story to emphasize that the narrator is now recalling a memory. The change in tenses represents when the narrator begins explaining his last memory of when Rami is alive and delivers clarification to the conclusion of the story. The shift between past and present brings clarification to the story to give the reader an idea of the bigger picture. The break occurs midway in a deep conversation between the…

A brief overview of the lesson content was clearly explained for the first five minutes. The overview allowed students to be aware of the basketball skills such as dribbling and passing which would be covered in the lesson.. The short and clear overview of the lesson allowed the teacher to reduce her instructional time therefore students were able to get physically active immediately. Students were positioned in a half circle during this time. This was an effective strategy as every student was…

her life awful. She has been through a lot of difficulty of finding a new job because she does not have a college degree. She always told me that if time could go back she would continue her education, and I should study and go to college. As time past, that idea stuck in my head. Knowledge is the key to success. There are a lot of people deciding to take a break after high school. I am not really thrilled with that idea. College will be harder as we grow older because of family and other…

searching to tell history as it happened, and not the way other view it. Other historians interpret, view, and translate history in all kinds of different ways and that shows through in their writings and paintings of history. This could possibly skew the past making it hard to determine between what actually happened and what people claim happened. Davy Crockett and the Alamo are a very important parts of Texas history, but their cultural meaning is not as similar to what Crisp discovers. Crisp…

ASU150 has taught me that the past has no power over the present moment. The most important concepts I absorbed this semester include the power and importance of ones growth mindset, ones approach to S.T.E.P, and the significance of a balanced life. Easily one of my favorite quotes from Gina this year has to be “Do not hold onto thoughts that do not allow your mind to move forward.” I feel this quote is essential to the class because so much of our lives are created in what we think at this very…

altered. Although something may have happened yesterday, today, it is now considered historic. The irony here is that whether it happened a few hours ago, yesterday, last week, or many years ago, it is still considered historic because it is now in the past. As stated by Dr. Drake in many lectures, “history does not necessarily repeat itself, but it does rhyme.” From 1865 to the 2000s, different areas of history have a stronger rhyming scheme than others. Looking back to 1860s and comparing it…

2. The theme of clocks and time is recurring throughout the novel. The clock provides symbolism and visual imagery as to the lives and irrevocable things that occur throughout them. 3. Quentin Compson is the oldest of four children born to Jason and Caroline Compson. Quentin is the most intellectual equipped of the children and seems to have the greatest potential to be successful in life. Due to his hierarchy over his siblings, Quentin is placed on a pedestal and expected to carry on…

The future is unknown. Thousands of years ago people predicated what the future will hold, of course many were wrong. That's the thing with the future, you never know what can happen. Each individual has his or her own plans and goals for their own future. Whether they fulfill that goal is up to them. "A goal without a plan is just a wish" You need to be prepared for your future and take everything into your own hands. What happens in the future is the effect of what people do in the…
