To me, reading books is somewhat like working on an assembly line in a factory and really loving my job. I love to read, and always have, though there has been no magical occurance as to why like one would hope. Like working in a factory where you do the same thing over and over again, I read a book and the story is always the same. I always really enjoy the books I read but nothing sets them apart from one another. I have read, and loved, books such as Ella Enchanted, The Time Travelors Wife,…

Do you remember me? I was your best friend before you started being used by your family. They destroyed the friendship we had because of their own greediness. We were made to be at the top of the world, but the problems you had at home was our downfall. I am sitting on my bed right now just hearing that you have passed away. Funeral. Now am thinking of how great of a man you were. You were a man full or wonders, you had the ability to be someone better in life, and you were a friend that I…

Whether you have a small business, work inside of a corporation, or are retired and starting round two, chances are you’ve struggled to to feel successful at one point or another. Maybe your big ideas and confidence gave way to the reality that it’s harder than you thought or harder than others made it seem (from the outside looking in). With my client’s permission, I wanted to share a part of her journey in the hope that you may see an echo of your own. Jenny wanted to create a business and do…

Mcdonalds freewrite (5 minutes) So the whole situation happened when I looked at my schedule on 1/3/2016 and noticed that I was working from 8:00am-10:30am on 1/7/2016 Wednesday. It was weird how I was scheduled to work two and a half hours because I have not been scheduled to work that short amount of time in about a whole year. Nevertheless, I was not disappointed because my great grandmother was turning 88 on that day. So I made plans to spend time with her after work. On 1/6/2016 I double…

Tuesday, November 10th: Today I was at Hospice Home. It was the Hospice Home building location, not the home visits. I had a good experience with the nurse I shadowed and learned a lot. I learned quickly that being a Hospice nurse at the Hospice Home is very different than other types of nursing. Right away something that stuck me is that the nurses in this setting have more autonomy in their practice. They make a lot more independent decisions and then just notify the physician as to what they…

During a time of political turmoil, it is hard to know who to trust, and who should lead. In “The Prince” Machiavelli lists a plethora of guidelines as to how a prince should gain political power along with ways for them to ensure this power is long-lasting. Although Socrates and Machiavelli both lived in time periods with serious political issues, Socrates would not support Machiavelli’s concept of a Prince, or any type of government created as a result of Machiavellian principles. This is due…

Brandon’s Wedding’s Effect On Me During the span of 5 days, I realized how I want to live my life. I started my trip September 10th to go to my cousin Brandon’s wedding. The wedding was in Wisconsin and it was a very chilly couple of days, especially the day before and day of the wedding. Only a select few members of the family weren’t attending. During this trip, I realized how important family and God is to our lives. On September 10th, I arrived in Wisconsin at about 11 a.m. My mom and I…

words “fortune” and “Virtue” to talk about two different ways a prince can come to power. “Virtue” refers to a person's actions or skill, while “fortune” talks about chance or luck.The Prince determines how much of a prince’s successfulness or tragedies are caused by his own free will and how much is chosen by nature or the environment in which he lives. Machiavelli applies this question specifically to the failure of past to other princes. In chapter 25, Machiavelli talks about fortune when he…

In The Prince, Machiavelli writes on how a prince is to take power and how to maintain his position (Ryan, 2012, p.364). The concept of virtù is introduced, as an essential component that a prince must possess. It could be translated as the ability, quality or determination that secures political success (Ryan, 2012, p.375). Machiavelli finds an example of a virtuous prince in Cesare Borgia, described as a skillful leader who was only defeated by the negative effects of fortuna (Ryan, 2012,…

Transition For my transition project I have chosen to do arrival time in the toddler room because I find observing the children 's when they arrive is the most difficult time in the day. Here are some of my observations: November 10.2016 children crying upon arrival, they don’t want to come inside the classroom Children up in parent’s arms, when parents go to put them down they won 't put their feet down. Parents trying to get them to go in by telling them to go get trucks, or their favorite…
