The Hardest Thing

or reading the news about crisis or conflict there is usually a death toll given, for many including myself we look at it as numbers when we should all look at them as humans like you and me who are now gone. As humans we usually like to sugar coat things…

single parent, I feel my expectations are more extreme in my relationships compared to a person who was raised in a two-parent household. My mom taught me to never count on anyone, let alone a man to get things done. Growing up without a male figure in our house me and my sister learned how to do things a man would normally do; I know very sexist of me. Our mother expected so much from us it was hard to differentiate our roles from what a woman should do and what a man should do. We learned to…

Gladwell explains how revolution has changed over time, he expressed that our way of thinking, our way of doing thing has evolved by the way society thinks and how technology has advanced. But he also tells us why we have forgotten how to create a revolution of big events that have happened in our World thru out time. This event shaped the way that we see things and the way that we do thing. According to Malcolm Gladwell, he described Revolution like “a core of dedicated and trained activist…

come up with answers to it. My biggest weakness was the essays. I have never been good at writing, and coming up with things to write about. Anytime I try to write my thoughts just get all mixed up and I end up going all over the place. I think I could help this by writing down my thoughts before I start to write. I could also plan out my story line before I start to write things down. Another weakness I have is citing. I never understand what to do or how to cite. This class helped me…

investigations? This is a complicated task, we want to be part of their learning and curiosity allowing them to do whatever they feel but time comes in the way. The thing with twelve numbers, one big hand and one little hand becomes a universal symbol that we all follow and it can be hard sometimes, when you don’t want to. How can we enjoy this thing called time, being in the moment of relaxation, stress free and living inquiry. It is difficult to think about this matter, I know every day when I…

Quiz Reflection 2-3 According to the quiz I am moderately resilient, which means I do well with some misfortune, but not others.

rewards set false expectancy for those who show minimum work. For example, Berdan says “We begin to expect awards and praise for just showing up — to class, practice, after-school jobs — leaving us woefully unprepared for reality”. This shows that things aren't just given to people. They have to work hard for them and they definitely won't be handed to them on s silver platter.Showing up doesn't count for work, put in the effort and do your part and maybe you can earn that reward. Just showing…

The first move was very rough for me, just the thought of moving away from everything I had ever known. I mean really from the restaurants I ate, people I knew, all the way down to the very streets. I sure would miss it all of it. It took me a long time to know even how to get around this city, aswell it took me an even longer time to know the dang state. So now I have to learn an entirely new place. I mean this was everything I ever known growing up, and now having to learn an entirely new city…

more thankful for what we have. I think that people are dissatisfied with themselves, their lives, and what they have because humans are jealous and greedy beings. That is how God has made us. We always want what we don't have, and once we get the thing that we wanted we…

good way to let things out, without having to approach someone about the subject at hand. As the writing started, the teacher dimmed the lights, the only thing that helped us see was a small lamp near the wall, and the bright screen projected on the board. I wrote about something that was very hard to write about, something that I have never talked to anyone about before. It was almost relieving, to talk about things that I haven’t confided someone in. I wrote half a page worth of things that I…
