As a leader is it important to know and own up to your strengths and weaknesses. Armed with this information one can build up their strengths and work towards eliminating their weaknesses. For myself, I asked friends to verify what my strengths and weaknesses are. This is what we agreed upon: my strengths include being personable and friendly, and a good listener; for my weaknesses I do not know when to say no, and my use of sarcasm may offend people who do not know me well. There are a few…

Why are you so quiet? My plump fingers pinched the unruly grain of rice. I plopped the grain onto the top of the correct pile, and then I sifted through the other heaps of rice. The short hand on the clock slipped downward as the stench of Lysol wafted through the air. Adults frantically slathered disinfectants on the surfaces of the tables. The other kids were probably frolicking through the damp leaves, wiping their flu-infested snot onto the sleeves of their sweaters. Inside, I inspected…

Book three of Mere Christianity includes twelve chapters that all relate to human Behavior. Chapter one discusses the three parts of mortality. The three parts of mortality, defined by C.S. Lewis are harmony among people, cleaning up the harmony within the individual, and the purpose of life for a human being. Chapter two addresses the Cardinal Virtues which are prudence, temperance, justice and fortitude. Chapter three talks about social morality, and within this chapter he touches on the…

The Web of Friendship Revision Friendship is imperative to us; it impacts our lives and shapes our character. However, there is a misconception regarding what friendship really is. When people are asked about their best friend, they instantly envision someone they live close to, or a classmate at school. However, not all friendships are so easily fabricated. In fact, my best friend lives in Massachusetts, and we’ve never met face-to-face. My first exposure to the internet came with a stern…

We often hear people saying that growing up without a father figure can be bad to a child. However, I never saw it that way. When I was a year and a half old, my father had decided to migrate to the United States, and leave his family and everything else behind him. His willingness to provide a better future for his family was far stronger than anything else. Growing up I remember asking my mother when will he be back. At that time there was no, telephones or instant mailing system to keep a…

Journal #5 Riley Parsley said “um” a lot and did not have good pronunciation or talk loud enough. I could not understand him at times and he did not have good posture. He explained the process of becoming a game warden well and he was talking to the audience, but he did not express his transitions clearly. Heather said “um” and “stuff like that” a lot. In the beginning of her speech she was banging on the podium which was distracting. I think her transitions were rushed but she clearly stated…

Having perhaps a greater impact on the industry than the radio, this medium would be the key to the ultimate success of alternative bands. Since both televisions and radios could be within the American household, their abilities of intimacy and immediacy were increased dramatically. Everyone who loved this music and its message could see it and hear it when they wanted…

We boarded the plane that would take us on the adventure of a lifetime. My pastor, his wife, a group of twelve students, some of who were my best friends, and I had all decided to continue a journey we all started in 2014. We were all a part of a leadership organization named Student Leadership University. In 2014, we went to Orlando, and then, in 2015, we went to Washington D.C. This year, 2016, we went across the pond to England and France, in Europe. As we boarded the plane, I had no room to…

The effect of parents on child The effect of parents on their children can be positive and negative values on the child life. Some families teach many good things to their child, but some not. Most of the time those who grow learning good things become good and those who learn bad things become bad. When I was born my family taught me good things and helped me to grow so I can be the person I am today. My family has big roll in my life through my religion, my behavior and my relationship…

In life we experience the helpfulness and harmfulness fear has to offer. Fear can help us survive by making us careful and awake. Although this is useful, you start to obsess over the object that is causing you fear. You then become paranoid and unable to enjoy life. Many people experience fear different ways whether it be in a positive or negative way. In Poe’s short stories he demonstrates how all main characters experience fear but handle it differently. Poe uses symbolism, irony, and…
