The Funerary Relief of No’om was constructed circa 170CE in Roman Palmyra, which is present day Syria. The piece includes two main components, an elaborately dressed human woman and an engraved written inscription. The piece is currently located in the Ackland art museum, in the Ancient Art Section, on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The two different elements on the relief are not of equal importance. The woman, who may be No’om, is the focal point of the work.…

opposite minded people. In “Thor’s Hammer” Loki, who's an avid trickster, was crying for his life to Thor after cutting his wife’s hair off. A similarity I saw in the two stories was push and shove. In the story, “A world on the turtle’s back”, the left handed twin is ridiculously impatient and wants to be born immediately rather than the right handed twin, who is more laid back, and humbly waits untill he is ready to be born. While in the womb, “...The right-handed twin [told] him not to,…

Before I knew it we were friends. We talked for hours and laughed a bit we exchanged numbers and promised to meet each other again next week. Before we parted he whispered “you’re going to be a natural,” smiled and left carrying his tank. Weeks went by and we still talked one week he did not show up I found out days later that he had passed away. I felt like if I was in debt to him like after all of our amazing talks I had to join baseball and make him proud. Now…

elbow become straight as you release the ball toward the rim off of your finger tips. Rise up onto your tiptoes letting go with your off hand shortly before releasing the ball so you are not shooting with two hands. Your hand should not move to the left or right because this will put the wrong spin on the ball and alter the path of the ball. Finally, snap your wrist down so that your knuckles point to the ceiling and your pointer and middle finger are pointed to the ground. This is referred to…

anything of it. After our catch my mom drove me to the game, she was also my coach. I loved having my mom has a coach because she was different because she was the only girl coach and thought the game differently than all the other coaches. Just before we left I ate a sandwich and took some Tylenol. I thought I had a bruised thumb but, I wasn’t sure. On the way to the game I iced my finger…

20 Years Ago El Paso High School in El Paso, Texas 8:30 a.m. It was an unusually chilly and foggy day for September in Texas. Millie got out of her white Aleko and grabbed her yellow knit sweater that was draped across the passenger seat. She was reaching for her backpack, which was in the back seat of her car, when the first bell rang. Millie raced across the parking lot, up the concrete steps, and pulled the heavy door to the rustic brick building open. There was no one in the halls like…

On February 15th, 2017, I had the opportunity of being a guest at The Village Preschool located in Visalia, California. The classroom that I was assigned to had a total of twelve children that all ranged from the ages of four to five years old. Specifically, the classroom had five female students and seven male students. Upon arrival, the teacher introduced me to the children and explained to them that I was a guest from Fresno State University and would be observing them. To allow the children…

shows, the brain is divided into two hemispheres, the left and right. The brain is hemispherically lateralized, meaning that each hemisphere has their own set of specialized functions, making them differ greatly regardless of their similar makeup. The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body, spoken and written language, mathematical calculations, logical thought, and the analysis of detail. The right hemisphere instead controls the left side of the body, visual-spatial perception,…

The power to help someone feel better physically or emotionally can be as simple as writing a letter, hugging someone or administering medications. These tasks are simple when done freely with two hands. Our hands are tools that we can use to help patients, family or friends when they need it the most. Most everybody has two hands, but not everybody uses them for good. To use our hands for good in healing others, is the same as doing God’s work on earth (O’brien, 2001). After reading the…
