The Long Walk

subdued beneath this stony weight, Which makes me keep my face ben to the track”2 (pp 151) A sad life to one see the floor below our feet and not see the sun and feel of the everlasting light from our Heavenly Father. As sin flees from our lives our walk lighter and quicker. Dante found this to be true, “Id put on speed and was most willingly Following my master’s footsteps, he and I Showing how fleet of foot we both could be.”2 (pp158) He went on to say, “. . .the stairs are nigh;…

When I started this observation 10 weeks ago I was so excited with the time I was going to spend with the 3rd grade class at Lincoln Elementary School. As I am thinking back on the last 10 weeks I can’t believe that it is over. Going to observe was what I looked forward to each week. It was a great experience my cooperating teacher, Ms. Greene did a great job of making sure that I was involved in the classroom while I was there. Ms. Greene had me work with small groups of students on various…

As we go through life, we have many experiences that become pivotal and defining moments, moments that shape us into who we are today and even cause us to change our attitude or perspective on life itself. Two of the most defining experiences in my life happened around the same time, sophomore year. My life changed so much just within the course of a few months. One of these signature moments in my life was a happy one, the other, the worst thing I’ve ever had to go through. There are two days…

Bittersweet Prejudice In the essay “The Danger of a Single Story” by Chimamanda Adichie, she describes her experiences with stereotypes, or “single stories”, she has heard about other cultures and her own that have created well-meaning but uneducated societies all across the world. With these experiences, she gives the point that there shouldn’t be a single story to anyone because they underestimate the victims of it and overlook their true stories of who they are. She proves this point by using…

Journal - Kc Adams 1. Give a full description of where the issue discussed was observed. This is a song that I have listened to for several years. I liked it when I was younger, so I bought it, but I have never looked closely at the lyrics before now. 2. Give a brief statement as to why this issue was chosen. I chose this song because the title of the song itself "Angel With a Shotgun" feels like an issue immediately and because I wanted to look closer to see how the image of an…

The conversation talked about inclusion and diversity in sports organizations. In the meeting, Ellen Staurowsky offered her thoughts on the present situation of inclusion and diversity, the hindrances, and approaches to enforce the main topic. Additionally, Staurowsky particularly focused on sexual orientation. After reading and assessing the interview, I completely agree with a lot of her point of views. Staurowsky is exceptionally cautious with her reaction to the present situation of…

The book Inferno was a very interesting book. It truly showed the poetic side of ancient history. It also conveys many of the system theories but it is more focused on Hierarchy, Trade/Communication, and Political/Social. In the first part of the book it shows the system of Hierarchy because it goes through all the different social classes and how each of them work. Also, how the people do their own way of running their village. Plus, in this village they have a leader and the leader tells the…

they don’t look anything alike. Noah looks like his mother, with brown hair and and darker skin, while Jude takes after her father, who is blonde. When Noah describes her hair, he says, “. . . I use all of my yellows drawing it. It’s hundreds of miles long and everyone in Northern California has to worry about getting tangled up in it. . .” (3). Noah and Jude are a little eccentric, as when Noah was 13, he often described his discomfort and disgust as, “[Him barfing] bright green barf all over…

Hey Mom and Dad, here I was wanting to hopefully convey my opinions and view about the dating scene and asking someone to Homecoming. Also I am hoping to convince in some way shape or form that it's fine for me to ask someone to homecoming. So I was going to start with why I think it's okay if not desirable to ask someone to Homecoming. Keep in mind it would be as friends not in a dating relationship, but I have thought about dating the past few weeks and will bring it up later for whenever we…

Billy Joe was an eccentric man. He liked to think big, and act bigger. And most of the time, this wasn’t a problem, but today was the day of the first meeting of the Board of Really Tall Buildings. The conference room was on the 8th floor of the 24-floor building. Overall, it wasn’t that high up, unless you were falling from the window. But who would ever do such a thing? Certainly not Billy Joe. The meeting had started off fine, with various board members giving their presentations. They were…
