The Next Time

The first step I’m going to take is to get good grades. I can get better grades by listening to my teachers. By doing this I can understand what the assignments are and what we are learning about. Another thing I can do is to turn in my work on time. Not turning in one assignment can cause me to have a bad grade. Even if I don’t get all of an assignment done, I will turn it in, so I don’t get a zero. If I do these things then my grades should go up.…

To begin the inquiry of the possibility of there being and enduring self, the argument that J. David Velleman holds against the enduring self, will be evaluated. In the beginning of Velleman’s paper, So It Goes, he asserts that the enduring self is an illusion. Velleman is helped by another philosopher, Derek Partif, in establishing his claim that anything enduring seems false in claiming that, “connections of memory do not necessarily trace out the career of a single, enduring object, and they…

“Never give up and always keep fighting, because though times may be tough, the sacrifices do pay off, so just keep pushing towards your dream and just love it at the same time and enjoy it.” This quote by Gabrielle Douglas proves that she never gave up. Her whole childhood revolved around gymnastics. She started her career off at a young age and continued to excel each and every day. She ran into many obstacles along the way, but that did not stop her from becoming the best gymnast that she…

date of the performances, and thinking about why he was bothering to tell us about them so soon. The two months really did pass quickly though, and before I knew it, it was December 6th, and Music Night. While I would normally not be pleased about time moving so fast, in this case I really cannot say that I have any complaints; Mr Snodgrass informed us of what was coming very early on, and he worked with us every day to prepare for it. All those hours practicing with the class paid off and I am…

Working on winter break. What a torturous task to go through. While everyone is at home relaxing and spending time with family you’re working nonstop on your feet and watching the clock until you can leave. I sat down with my Dad and interviewed him about his high school experience. He went on and spoke about how he went to football games,6 flags, and work. Growing up in a lower income neighborhood defined him as a person and made him have a positive outlook on life despite the situation he was…

well as places are where one can be true to oneself and free, where it does not account for any economic advantage but it does account for a getaway. Frazier recalls that as a kid, him and his friends would lose sense of time, pick blackberries and sit on trees for hours at a time just for fun. Now that he is an adult he realizes how important those moments actually were to him and how without a marginal space like the woods he cannot truly express himself. Frazier’s stance on marginal aligns…

Get the Girl In previous generations the concern of hygiene was not as important as it is today. Young men just borrowed cologne from their father whenever it was necessary. The teenage years are around the time of when a young man hits puberty and starts to take high interest in the opposite sex. The idea of cologne to help achieve these ambitious goals began to take place. The Axe company jumped at the opportunity and created a line targeting the younger male generation by using images…

happy with the way your life is going? Life has thrown us a lot of challenges, it may be the financial condition, disappoined with our relationship, health, or job losses. Many people have frozen in their life because they are unsure about what to do next. Generally, due to such situations we got a nagging feeling that we should be doing something more with our life and we have a lot of untapped potential that we'd like to bring out. We are becoming distresful for our future and not trusting…

all A’s and B’s thus far in my classes. Although I focus the majority of my effort in my Nursing classes. Some obstacles that I have encountered would be dividing my time between school and my family and friends. I have coped with this by spending my weekends with my loved ones when I do not have to study for that small period of time. Being a commuter is also a struggle that I face going to Valparaiso University. It takes me thirty minutes to get to school, and thirty minutes to get home. That…

unique ways based on their previous experiences. To this point, Owens goes on to say, “were they to read what follows, and undoubtedly they will, my family would surely remember our life differently” (263). Additionally, since memories change every time they are recalled, the context of new experiences can alter the subjective memory and meaning to the individual. This process allows memories to be applied to new experiences, evident in Rose’s poetry. In “Chicago,” she draws attention to the…
