Virginia Woolf’s “Professions for women” is an essay, but it sounds like a speech. Woolf recalls that when she worked as a journalist, she felt restricted expressing down her real feeling and reviews about men’s writing. When she worked as a novelist then, she also had to worry about if men would be shocked or disagreed with the truth she told. Her own two specific pieces of experiences reveal women’s struggle in today’s society and also try to provide solutions for defending women’s rights.…

Hugh Bradner worker US Navy discovered a material that could be very good insulator, but spend the time and that idea stood there, as reflected in letters in 1951. There are two main hypotheses about who was the creator of the first wetsuit for surfing. The first candidate is Jack O'Neill (founding father of surf brand O'Neill…

The Right To Choose “I helped my dad kill himself because he was in a tremendous amount of pain.” When anyone hears that phrase in their mind starts whirling with horrific thoughts about the person that helped their dad kill himself. They instantly think you murder, you sick human being, and feels overly sympathetic for the dead dad. But when they hear “I had to put my dog down because he was getting old and was in pain.” Murder and sick human being never even in the slightest crosses their…

Deathbed Repentance or Joyful Living Introduction. Procrastination. It is a noxious weed in this mortal experience. The temptation to wait until tomorrow robs a person of the security of being prepared for the future as well as being able to enjoy today to the fullest. To live joyfully, we must recognize the temptation to procrastinate and look for the reward if we simply do what needs to be done. Many people claim that procrastination is helpful by allowing them to enjoy the moment and not…

Long hours of constantly standing and running up and down the store addressing customers and trying to keep the store presentable is certainly not a job I would settle for. Retail is a job for students that come and go, that are trying to make extra money for themselves, but not for somebody who is already of age, has a family to maintain, and bills to pay. Many people settle for less and are so used to being in a certain place doing the same thing every day that they fear change and do not want…

available and open for us to use it can be quite difficult finding time to actually sit down to do homework without interruptions. The experiment consists of taking a break from all screen time for two days so, this means no television, and no Internet surfing or instant messaging is allowed during this time period. Day one consisted of me placing my phone on mute and do not disturb mode, only allowing emergency calls or repeated calls from family members through. Secondly, I gathered up all…

strange blue board. It was like a surfboard, only it was much smaller and was a bit broader. When I asked my Mom what it was, she explained that was a skim board and that she saw some people using it down on the shore. She said the difference between surfing and skim boarding was that one was done out in the ocean and the other was done on the coast as the waves crashed in. I thought how cool it would be if I could feel like I was riding the wave on the…

Water Cycle Evaporation: I give a hesitant thumbs up, paired with a weak yelp barely loud enough for anyone to hear, and the boat accelerates. The velocity continues to build until my kindergarten heart can’t sustain it and I face plant. Forehead to water, like hitting concrete, my water skis ricocheting off of each other like pool balls. It doesn’t stop there. In spite of the yells from my family and the words of wisdom incessantly repeated to me from day one, I don’t let go of the rope.…

Heroes for Our Heroes As I was surfing the web, I saw an article titled “Vets Adopt Pets". This article caught my attention because I believed that by vets it meant veterinarians what it actually means is veterans. According to this article, there are organizations that train dogs to be companions for our veterans who suffer post-traumatic stress disorder. According to an article in the newspaper, Blade, PTSD is a disorder caused by traumatic experiences such as war, abuse, accidents, and…

Integrity an uncommon word that the majority does not know its definition. The word integrity represents something important, that if every human were to have the world would be a better place. What is integrity? Integrity is defined as being honest, fair. By this we know that if the world followed this and lived it the world would be a much better place. It wouldn’t be perfect, but it would be better as a society and an environment. Integrity to me is being unique but being open to others…
