The Little Things

different, depending on the way they were raised. The first step to develop a personal development essay is to perform an honest self-evaluation. Things such as priorities, strengths, weaknesses, values, and ethics should be explored by looking at the past. By interviewing my mother, I was able to determine and understand why I act and do certain things. I was able to understand why I can 't have stuff in my mouth for a long time. Some examples are…

for competition. First, the type of dance and music needed to be chosen. After that, for the next three months each day consisted of long and tiring early morning and night practicing for two hours at the very least. Practice is the most important thing as a dancer because “practice makes permanent” very wise words from each of the many wonderful coaches I have had through dance. Practice consists of stretching extra good to prevent any injury from happening, doing the dance full out every time,…

In the movie, 12 Angry Men, there were plenty of things to focus on. The weather, the way the men were dressed, their facial expressions, and more. I’d like to focus a little on all of these things throughout this paper, because they all help make the film what it is. As we started watching this movie, I think the thing I noticed most was the weather and how everyone looked uncomfortable and grumpy. Who wouldn’t be uncomfortable and grumpy on a hot day while wearing a full suit while being…

The FogHorn Personal Response Life, a simple four letter word that we are all living in right now - probably the only thing that we have in common with other living beings in the world. Life, at times, a thrill ride but at times, the biggest obstacle we have to face, whether we like it or not. Life, we desire to live our life as best as we can until, we realize that there are things we can’t control, and that is our desire. Ray Bradbury suggests, desire is a complicated feeling we all have in…

In “The Thing in the Forest” by A.S. Byatt, Penny is a little girl who is sent away from her hometown during the war. During her childhood, Penny was always alone. Her father “died in a sheet of flame” and after that, her already neglectful mother “embraced grief, closed her face and her curtains” (Byatt 308). Penny needed a friend, but mostly she needed someone that understood what she was going through and someone that would be a more positive outlook on it all. When Penny was taken from her…

classroom setting. The six things I observed about my LP include her physical presence, relationships with others, activities and interests, modes of thinking and learning, strengths and assets, and vulnerabilities. To begin, I observed my LP’s physical presence. I noticed that she is very much an extrovert and loves attention. Throughout my time in the classroom, I noticed she enjoys when the spotlight is on her, whether it be for…

“That’s the thing about pain, it demands to be felt”. Although these words are from the book Hazel Grace is obsessed with (almost like I am with this book)it is still pertinent. Those words slice through me like a knife and with those words I can use to not only explain The Fault in our Stars by John Green but also a lot of my experiences throughout the past four years of my life. It may sound cliche as does most everything that I say, but I believe that without the feelings of pain, sadness…

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 understand it a little better, but I still get confused. I think that my…

eyes to everything that I hadn’t seen. The teacher was kind of $famous to the students. She had traveled to the places she was teaching us about. She wasn’t just giving us the information out of a textbook, she was telling us real things that she experienced. The thing about this class was, every year, she picked a group of students to go on a trip to a different country. My year there were two trips. One to three different countries in Europe, the other to Australia and New Zealand. After…

Big K.R.I.T’S mixtape cover is relatable, because every day I can see myself in the little boy who is sitting down, positioned on the wall, especially being in college, and being exposed to liquor, clubs, drugs, etc. This image shows that in everyday life people have to choose what to do and what not to do. People have to make a choice between different influences, and choose what is the “right thing”, or “wrong thing” to do. I have seen myself all of my life having to make this choice between…
