Waking up early in the morning, and then coming to absolute torture! School It’s just hard, and boring! But currently I’m in maths, why does it have to be so hard and boring? Why does Mr. Holland have to give us a test every week? When will we even need to know algebra? Can’t he just stop giving lectures and move on, like hey, we are in 7th grade not college! We are in middle school not COLLEGE! He makes me want to fall asleep… “Hey Alex, wake up it’s time for lunch!” Louis says, he’s the boy…

As part of my personal growth journey, I signed up for Soulvana. I had a heck of a time finishing up the first course, Self-Esteem: Your Fundamental Power. Reflecting on it there were a few reasons why it was so hard to get through, but I finally finished it as I waited for my husband 's flight to arrive last night. The course was created by Caroline Myss. Apparently she has expertise in many different fields, including energy medicine, human consciousness, and mysticism. I had to look up the…
Think of a large room. In this room there are people of every age, ethnicity, and country that you can think of. Now think of each individual story behind those lives. Everyone, despite their age, has a unique background, upbringing, and mindset. As college is hastily approaching, I see more and more people wanting to stay in the comfort of living near what is known. Not that there is anything wrong with living close to home, but personally I would rather go to a place completely unique to…
Have you ever witnessed a crash and later on find out it was your friend? It was a normal day like any other. In fact, the day was beautiful. The skies were blue and the sound of birds filled the air. I was out driving with my love interest at the time and we decided to go to a nearby lake to swim and cool off. She was blasting pop music unlike the metal i would usually put on. The sun from the dash board of my car put a sparkle in her eye. Nothing was going to ruin this day. We got to the lake…

Being a party planner is not easy for anyone, especially for a young kid. I can still remember the first time I prepared a party for one of my best friends—seems like it happened yesterday. Zhang was my 6th-grade classmate. After I graduated from my elementary…

A more complex case is represented by job shop scheduling; the jobs may be processed following different machine orders. There is no common path of movement of jobs from machine to machine. As mentioned by Zandieh…
A Lesson in General Musky Fishing My Experience and Knowledge Concerning Musky Fishing “There you go Austin, reel it in!” my dad said. We were fishing for walleye off a dock at Clear Lake, Iowa. I was only 9 years old. I knew that whatever I had on the line was big, but I had no idea that it would be the first musky I'd ever seen or caught. The fish was mediocre size, having a length of only 31 inches. Nonetheless, I was mesmerized by the musky’s beauty and grace as it swam away from the dock. I…

Recently, I heard that there was an autobiography is being written about my life and I’m exceedingly grateful about it. The autobiography is nearly complete and I would like to share some concerns with you about my problems with it.

I would like the information change considering it was the most crucial event in my life. The…
