Remind Me

THE WORST TAUGHT ME THE BEST Triggered by the ethnic cleansing policy in Bhutan, my parents fled the country. I was born and raised in a Bhutanese refugee camp in Nepal. I still remember the nights in the refugee camp when we slept without eating anything because there was simply nothing to eat. Our family, like most others in the refugee camp, relied on aids provided by different humanitarian agencies. We also relied on the kindness of local people who would sometimes give us clothes. The…

We all have a calling and a purpose in life, and mine became evident to me when I read the book, Mistaken Identity. This book is about a girl who was involved in a serious car accident and suffered serious injuries, including head trauma. Part of the book focused on the demanding therapy she underwent, to be able to carry out tasks we all take for granted, such as simply writing her name with the occupational therapist. This part of the book inspired my interest and I felt this overpowering…

This again made me feel better and less nervous as the whole time I was there it was indeed more of a chat rather than an interview which I believe went well. I kept calm and answered any questions clearly and joined in with the discussion as there wasn’t that many questions for me to answer as it was a chat. We discussed the placement and what I would be doing, I was given examples of what past students…

trade those goods with another tribe who had plenty of corn and cotton to give away. This part of history really captured my attention when I was younger and I still find the idea intriguing. I think this concept is brilliant and makes more sense to me than the similar…

told me I was never going to get bored because every day was going to be different. My boss lied. Every day is about the same. Sure the people are different but, they all pretty much fit into the molds of their clones from yesterday. Day after day, after day, the customers make my life a living hell. When I first started, I loved my job. I was always happy to be there, at that drab grey clothing store with its concrete floors and warehouse like interior. I probably loved it because it gave me a…

Not only did I want to excel in physics, but having one of the highest grades felt accomplishing, and knowing I worked extra hard for it was rewarding. The one thing that has really helped me and shown me a glimpse of the real world was getting my first job. I am currently working a part-time job at Jason’s Deli as a cashier, hostess, and salad bar prep. Working and going to school has probably been one of the hardest things I have ever had to…

strengths of mine included: laughs and participates as a team player. The two principles I found in the book that I need to improve on were; pointing others to Jesus and administrates meetings efficiently. The first strength that I believe will help me once I begin my ministry is laughs. This is strength of mine because I work best whenever I am able to do work but have fun doing it at the same time. As a leader my hope would be to make the working environment enjoyable for the people. I…

notes during lectures. One of the ideas I had to help me with that problem was to take a recorder in a lecture and record it. If I would to miss something important during the lecture I could go back to the lecture on the voice recorder and write what I missed. When I was in high school; I would ask my friends to see their notes if I thought I missed something important; this helped me quite a lot; during high school. One way I was advised to help me with fast-talking teachers was to shorten how…

last day of August and I have recently arrived home from camp. The first thing I was informed to do when I entered the house was that I had an essay that I needed to compose for a competition. My father notified me that the education director of the Toronto general consulate has challenged me to enroll into this three page essay competition. I agreed and accepted the challenge and began brainstorming a possible topic to write and elaborate on. Countless hours have passed as I struggled to…
