The Town

In order to further explain my experience in Canada as an immigrant, I composed a song called “I left the town”. The song is a small screen shot of my entire experience which depicts my ups and downs when I left my home country. Most of the immigrants in Canada relate to this song as we all face emotional, financial and cultural challenges after moving to Canada. The first paragraph of the song describes the beginning of my journey when I left India “with a ray of hope and dream”. The paragraph…

In Dan Neil’s article “Company Town: Seduced by a Juicy Burger” published in the LA Times, he criticizes the fast food advertising industry in a sarcastic manner while wondering if the industry has gone too far. The article, written in 2009, is almost laughably outdated compared to today’s carnal advertisements. Today it seems unfeasible for companies not to objectify women in their commercials. This primitive approach fuels the fire in that women are nearly props more so than the product that…

Matthew de la Rosa 2/10/16 NAT 388 Nat Sci on the Town When I went to the Carolinas Medical center I had a very interesting and knowledgeable time there. My experience with the medical center was for sure a smooth ride. My aunt is a nurse at one of the hospitals and has been for almost 20 years. So I did not need too much help from the Internet when it came to getting information about what happens with the Medical center. When I called my aunt to get some more information other than what I had…

The short story, After Cowboy Chicken Came to Town, was entertaining and easy to read. The story was about a group of teenagers who had jobs at a new restaurant in China called Cowboy Chicken. Unlike all the other restaurants in China, this restaurant severed American food. I thought the food was very similar to the food served at the fast food restaurant Kentucky Fried Chicken. They served fried chicken with French fries, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, and many other sides. Cowboy Chicken became a…

The last month has been busy for in8model circles. I had the opportunity to endure the challenges of long-haul plane flights to be rewarded with people, culture, scenery and different world views. First stop was Bali, where I addressed a chiropractic conference. A stand-out from this convention were two local kids, 12 year old boy and 15 year old sister. Their story that they related to us is as follows: We cast our memory back to 2011 when we first entered some schools in central, hot, dusty…

police station. The blue blends in perfectly with the chilly hues of that winter morning. An olive skinned young girl climbs out of the front seat. Her long brown hair goes in contrast with her green turtleneck and pink circle glasses. This little town in Indiana had been through serious traumas in the last three months. Everyone was a little weary of new problems that arose. Though the police station activity had recently slowed down. The girl strolled into the building, clutching a Polaroid…

Goodbye, Colorless Town People thought it was funny, the curiosity that drove me into anxiousness for my first plane ride. “Being on a plane is no fun, you know,” everyone complained. But I was experiencing something for the first time, something people rarely have a chance to do. My stomach did that thing where it churns, and makes your throat burn with impatience, as soon as I approached security. The inquisitiveness which sparked my excitement masked the subtle panicking that slightly…
