Poppy

find one that sticks out from the others. I talked about ideally doing something that I am passionate about, something that keeps me motivated and interested when the days get long. Something that I feel has an ethical importance to it. Poppie went on to say that he wants me to be a lawyer. He thinks that due to my enjoyment for reading, most specifically history/non-fiction, to go along with me always being drawn to debating/negotiating, that I’d make for an ideal lawyer. I should mention that both of Poppies son’s are ‘big shot’ managing lawyers/partners. I guess he figures that if it worked out for them, why not me? I told Pop that I appreciate the compliment, and that “it’s something to think about.” In truth I hate the idea of me being a lawyer, and it’s nothing against lawyers.

This time we talked about “not selling yourself short” and “having the inner belief that you can truly do what it is that you dream to do.” We talked about being “afraid to go for something that looks to be inconceivable, or not possible.” We talked about the realities of life and getting a job out of college, that is to not be buried in student loans while working a minimum wage job. That’s when he talked about his own life and never getting the chance to go to college -- really as he’d say, never…

increase their chances of abusing a drug. I guess you can say that people normally abuse drugs because they’re either down, or vulnerable. This makes me believe why people decide to consistently abuse drugs. Also I believe that “Other people, however, enjoy having boundless energy and being "on" all the time. Or, they may live such busy lives that they need an extra boost (or at least they think they do). Rather than prioritize their time so that they can get enough sleep, eat properly, and do…

However, in Tibet, the social changes took a slower route out of serfdom. Eventually, the Communist state of China came to Tibet and forcefully pushed them towards becoming a more modern society, which faced backlash.

The examples demonstrated in the lecture has impressed me a lot. For instance, the puppy plaza in Canada. Poppy plaza is a public space that designed to honor people who served to protect Canada’s freedom and security during wartime. Although I have never been there, I can feel the space evokes the sense of connection with distant places. The narratives and topography are concise that portraying different voices and make me feel stunning. I realize there is a question that we should think – How…

I never read a book I didn't have to until my sophomore year of high school when we had to…

Melvin “Bye, I love you Poppy.” I was taught as a child to always tell your loved ones you love them because you never know when your going to see them again. Life is a gift and can be taken at any moment. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. My poppy taught that to my dad , my dad taught me that, and I'm going to teach the same idea to my kids. My poppy was the firstborn into a typical family with one mom and dad. His memories of his father were minimal because his father passed when he was at the…
