The Simple Things

have in the future due to your drive? My drive to bring change into the world is fueled by the simple hunger for change I see every single day. I have aspired to pursue a career rooted in the service of others as a nurse practitioner specializing in delivery and midwifery. I hope to serve parts of the world that have been previously ignored. Through my experiences, especially my service work, it has become apparent to me that there is an immense need for change. That said, I believe humanity is filled with individuals who possess a profound capacity for positive change. Whether it be with the women of Niger who help to protect other women and babies from tetanus,…

a sense of coming together for the benefit of all, you see these men here are not all working for themselves, but rather for one another. You can almost feel the relief as if they are almost finished. These men here represent at very least four or five families in this town. This photo stopped me in my tracks and whishing for a time like this, a simple time to live where you really felt a sense of community and love for your neighbors. What would something like this really look like? What…

We were studying habitats and the environment, so it was fitting that we study face to face with trees and a river. It 's funny because I walk outside all the time and I never noticed certain things about the trees. He was showing us how each individual leaf had its own veins and how the veins collected water from the tree. It was a fascinating experience because I gained a better appreciation for the simple things not only when it comes to nature, but also life as a whole. This was the moment…

little confused and wanted to know more about my personality. Now that I know what they all mean, I can see how I 'm am portrayed for every description.

her husband took out loans, cut corners and let their house keeper go all in an effort to replace the “expensive” piece. They accomplished buying another extravagantly priced necklace resembling the one that was lost but in doing so Mme Loisel began to learn what true suffering was like. She had to work for the next ten years slaving away to pay back the money from the loans, sacrificing all the comforts she before took for granite. Her hard life took a tool on her beauty and youthfulness.…

Jenga tower. Events stack on top of each other creating a less stable structure until it collapses in on itself, or war breaks out. The Bosnian genocide seems very simple on the surface. In fact, genocide is a rare simple thing in history, a group of people want to eliminate another group of people because the second group is perceived as a threat. The justification and the buildup is a bit more complicated. After all, people perceive each other as threats all the time, so why do we only have a…

Being strong is something many people have told me in my life , primarily saying that it is the thing to do for especially becoming a man. But there were some things I have never put through my mind until it was a little later in my lifespan.

Learning new things is very important from a young age because it is best when…

One thing I am sure of is that my way of deciding to be nonreligious was a much different process than others. My father went to private, religious, boarding schools his whole life. As well as attending church regularly and multiple times week. If I ever had a question about religion, he was the man to go to. He was an expert in my eyes. That is why it in intriguing that he was also the person to convince me to not believe in religion. When I asked about him breaking away from religion and his…

Without art and beauty of the human being the picture wouldn’t be as inspirational. I personally think that art makes everything more beautiful, especially how the sound of the waves and the symbolic means of the harp create music. It’s the simple things in life that are more meaningful and enjoyable. The creativity shown in just a simple coastal landscape photograph and a little animated cartoon proving hard work pays off is extremely important to me. After analyzing these media, I realize I…

Everyone has a unique way of expressing themselves, and sometimes it’s hard to find someone that has the same beliefs as us. Chris Mccandless wanted to be away from society, where he was able to find peace within himself. The thought of doing the same thing over and over again was just not for him. A person who was very similar to Mccandless was Henry David Thoreau. They both shared similar values, had different results of their actions, and had a few things that they both could’ve learned…
