START I

I wanted to make tapa/kapa, bark cloth that old Polynesians and Hawaiians used to make. This is because I have learned how to make tapa/kapa in my ethnobotany class. I have been amazed how early Polynesians and Hawaiians were closely connected to the nature and how they incorporate with nature to live sustainably. I enjoyed learning how they created clothes in the old days. Therefore, I decided to make tapa/kapa from a scratch. To be honest, a night before this morning, I got some trouble with…

The Frightening Moment It was summer break. I woke up at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, then I woke my sister up, My sister is 5’6 in tall, has long black hair and black eyes, and is plump and chubby. My sister and I went to the kitchen to make some breakfast. I made some tea, and my sister made some French toast. After having breakfast, we went to get dressed, and I picked up a light blue shirt and black pants. My parents own two gas stations, so after getting dressed we went to one of our gas stations…

Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong! The dismissal bell just went off. As I was leaving the classroom, my teacher, Mr. Rase, the one I hate the most called me over and said “Jake Hazel, are you ready for the test” I quickly responded with a head nod and said, “Yeah I think I’ll be ready.” Mr. Rase then gobbled on by saying, “Fail is going to be what’s written all over your test!” So I quickly turned around and left the classroom, the only thing that I had going through my head was Mr. Rase stroking his…

On a daily basis I make phone calls to our subcontractors and owners, I order materials when my boss asks me to, and I organize all documents regarding our work with a non-profit organization. All of these tasks were given to me by my boss, the president of the company. The priority of these tasks depends on the situation we are in at the given moment. When I need to communicate to our subcontractors I will call. When the subcontractors need materials I order them. If I were to fail…

Even though much of her friends and family encouraged her to choose a more “realistic” degree, Kirsten has always followed her passion and faces the future with much confidence. Kirsten…

Prior to contrary belief, Apple Inc. was not founded by one person, it was actually founded by two. Steve Jobs, one of the most iconic faces of Apple was the man who took all the “claim to fame” but he was only one piece to the puzzle. Before the name “Apple” was a thought, Jobs knew that he needed a right hand man, one who knew and understood computer better than anyone. That man was best friend, Steve Wozniak. Jobs met Woz at a technology convention in California’s Melono Park, known as the…

One day my biggest fear came true, I lost control of my mind and my life changed for the worst. I had become the monster I feared so much. This is my story. It was a typical day in Canton Michigan, a nice sunny day with a calm breeze, the birds were out chirping, just simply a great day. I flew through my 6 classes at school and I was on my way home. I had taken a…

position in Apple. This paper will be talking about how Apple started, his personal life, and his overall impact on technology today. It all started when a friend of Steve Wozniak, Bill Fernandez, introduced him to Jobs (Isaacson, 2011, p. 25). “Steve and I just sat on the sidewalk in front of Bill’s house for the longest time, just sharing stories- mostly about pranks we had pulled and…

that were so different from where I grew up, I felt exactly like the description in Learn for the Love of God when it says, “I only knew that something exciting and a little terrifying was beginning” (Opitz and Melba 2). My actual expectations for the University of Northwestern, St. Paul were few, but my worries, questions and concerns seemed to be countless. Would college classes be too difficult for me? Did I make the right choice on where to go to college? Will I be able to be so far away…
