The Secret Of A Successful Job There is one of the most important ways to make your job better, and doing a special work. The way to do a successful job is to love what you do. Successful people love what they work on. For example: Steve Jobs is one of powerful people, he always says, “The only way to do great work is to love what you do”. In my own experience, I studied Computer Science for two years at University of Kuwait. Then, I worked at a petroleum company called KJO, which is one…

opular sources vs. scholarly sources In preparation for this assignment, I was able to use Pinterest as a way of research and learned that depending on research topic, that Pinterest and popular sources may be an acceptable way to support an argument. These sources are what I used in my comparison to the popular sources that can be found on Pinterest. My Exploratory draft three explores how popular sources can be useful in supporting an argument: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_rmoHln…

I graduated high school in 2014 with a 4.0 GPA, was in the top ten percent of my class, and was accepted to Pennsylvania State University. Everything had gone right for me, and I was excited to begin my college career. The only problem was, I did not know what I wanted to major in, let alone what I wanted to be in my life. I chose Penn State because they had a great program for students who were undecided. My hope was that I would suddenly have an epiphany and realize what career I wanted to…

Initial Goals: My initial goals for the program was to take in an equation like 5*(4/3+2^(3-1)) and return the answer to it (26.666667 in this case). I intended it to work with simple arithmetic (multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, exponents, and parentheses). My initial brainstorming resulted in an iterative action. The program would follow the order of operations and begin with the contents of innermost parentheses and replace that portion of the input with the answer before…

Hundreds of children talking all at once, that’s what morning at Illini Elementary School sounded like. And there I sat having no one to talk to. Until one day a new girl came through the school doors. She was as tall as a giant and had short black box braids. This girl sat down by all the other children in my grade. So many thoughts were going through my head at once I didn’t know what to do. I was so nervous to talk to her that I almost threw up! I didn’t want her to reject me like the other…

We see an early example shaker culture when Mr. Tanner gives young Robert the pig for help and apron with the calving. Mr. Haven and Robert are fixing the fence when Mr. Tanner brings the pig Roberts father states about accepting the pig “we thank you brother Tanner but it’s not the shaker way to take frills for being neighborly” (P 21). I think this shows that in the shaker culture they feel that is not right to accept a gift or payment for doing the right thing in any given situation are…

C. Wright Mills coined the concept social imagination in his book published in 1959. In the publication, Mills defines social imagination as “the vivid awareness of the relationship between experience and the wider society." In order to have social imagination, a person needs to exhibit the abstract capacity to see things from different points of view (Crossman). In other words, Mills explain sociological imagination as the capacity to see problems and society with a different approach with…

Vitamin A Vitamin A plays a critical role in assuring normal vision and immune function, as well as gene expression and growth (Lukaski, 2004). Vitamin A takes its active form as retinol, which we typically get from foods from animals, such as eggs, liver, dairy products, and fish oil (Benardot, 2006). Beta carotene has been established as a precursor for vitamin A, so consuming foods rich in this carotenoid is another way to obtain vitamin A in the diet (Benardot, 2006). This discussion…

Berries are popular for their anti-aging properties as they contain flavonoids. Flavonoids are potent antioxidants that help to protect the body from free radicals and aging. The great thing about berries is that there are lots of different ways to consume them, combine them with your cereal or yogurt, freeze them and blend them into tasty smoothies. You can also eat them dry or fresh! Berries are fairly inexpensive. Consider getting them in bulk and freezing them if necessary. Studies reveal…
