Time flies like an arrow, instant of time, more than half of the semester had passed, and I have finished two essays with Mrs. Lynette teaching. During this time, I was very happy to meet Mrs. Lynette and my classmates. Also, I felt that my writing skills have improved. It cannot be separated from the requirements of Mrs. Lynette for writing. First, before we started every essay, Mrs. Lynette would let us write an invention for this essay, then, it extend to the outline. After that, our…
“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.” (3.3.34, Orwell) The character O’Brien declares this line in Orwell’s novel. The quote paints a picture of the type of future the novelist was predicting in both his fiction and the real world. A similar sentiment can be found in another dystopian publication Brave New World. Both bestsellers drew several parallels in their predictions of the future, but In the novel Brave New World, Aldous Huxley gave a…
necessary for Devos to acknowledge this and have a stronger position on it since discrimination is a problem. Leaving it to the states may leave some kids in jeopardy based on their stances. The Secretary of Education and Congress should work together to revise and support the…
We are faced with problems everyday, and it is how we resolve them that determines our character. During a financial role play for DECA, I was put on the spot and had to generate ideas for a company which was going bankrupt. I had to think out of the box in order to devise a plan that would help this company recover from its financial depression. Preparing constantly my presentation skill and learning the material helped me be one of the top county finalist for my even. More importantly, doing…
some of the people I have known. The past few years, when I had to write essays for my english classes I would write over seventy five percent of the paper within the first day and towards the due date I would write that last quarter of the essay, revise and edit the paper, and write a final copy. Though I am still trying to find a perfect writing method, I found a successful method by splitting the essay up for the days that I am able to write. What that means, is that if I had a week to write…
few things children are in control of. Even with something so minor, it can improve our decision making skills and banning standardized clothing would help with that. For schools with unjust and offensive dress codes, the school board can review and revise it so students will ultimately be able to be comfortable in their clothes without being disgraced for it. There’s no need for irrational rules so just get rid of…
In writing a book on debt, I should begin by acknowledging my own indebtedness to many who have taught and inspired me while I have been working on this project. My colleagues and students at North Park University should be recognized first. I have had many conversations about the main ideas of this book in my ethics classes, and they have strengthened and sharpened my arguments. I also would like to recognize my debt of thankfulness to North Park Library and its wonderful staffs. I have…
The U.S. Military’s Strategic Imperative to Embrace the Mission Command Culture Mission command was (re)introduced in the U.S. military as a culture change to address current and future strategic security challenges.

Military leaders plan to respond by shifting towards more adaptive, networked forces and operations.…
Revolutionary War and for almost ten years afterwards, was the Articles of Confederation. Like many first attempts, the Articles of government had some good ideas and meant well, but it was poorly executed. When delegates gathered in Philadelphia in 1787 to revise the Articles, they ended up creating a new constitution. The delegates from the various states each had their own agenda at the Constitutional Convention and that made it difficult for them to agree on what the new government should…
Now the only problem left are some grammar issues that I am still working on fixing. Luckily my classmates are willing to help me revise my writing and comment about my writing. Overall, despite the fact that English is the subject that I have struggled with the most I truly feel like I have improved from when I first started. Although I would have never made it this far without challenging…
