Things Not Seen

Hope is a mentality that every human being is capable of, whether they know it or not. Even though at times it may seem as if hope is nowhere to be found, it is still there lurking in the distance. In her poem “Hope” is the thing with feathers, Emily Dickinson explores this exact concept. Using a multitude of literary and poetic devices, Dickinson establishes the optimistic idea of hope existing as an unstoppable unit throughout the universe that is accessible to anyone and everyone. One of…

Thankful What are you thankful for in life? I’m thankful for several things in life. Thanksgiving started way before I was born, which started on November of 1621. I am thankful for Michael’s, food, and friends. The first thing I’m thankful for is, Michael’s, an art store right by my house. I’m thankful for Michael’s because, without that store, probably about 98% of my art supplies wouldn’t be in my room. You know, I got to Michael’s so much, the employees remember me and know who I am! One…

realized that there was a lot that I had yet to learn. First, I asked him about culture shock. (Martin, Nakayama. P. 125) “No, no culture shock. I mean I knew where I was going and I have seen America on television. There is a pretty big Irish community in New York, too. Of course it was a lot bigger and I thought…

After I started reading The First Time Manager, I became sure that I would not make a good manager. I felt this way because, as I discovered managers have to be able to lead. I tend to sit back and let someone else have control when it comes to things such as group projects. I feel this is because I am not usually comfortable being in charge of other people, because I do not want to be perceived as bossy. I tend to want everyone to be happy and to avoid conflict unless absolutely necessary.…

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 many attributes may be considered some of the simple things that I should have known in life, to changing who I am and what I appeared as, to becoming who I am today. Learning new things is very important from a young age because it is best when younger kids…

Because this is the first informal piece I write in American Literature, I think you should know where I stand on a variety of issues. Telling you about myself feels, by some means, dishonest since the most important thing about me is that I am constantly changing. When I was little, teachers used to tell us to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes before we judge them. Yet, I’ve never understood what we’re supposed to learn from a pair of shoes. If you want to know who I am, I suggest taking…

For the interview process, the two people that I interviewed were Martha Millison and Cecilia Rivas. Martha Millison is a school counselor at Green-Wood Charter School in Philadelphia and Cecilia Rivas is a CUA chief management supervisor. When both Martha and Cecilia came and spoke to our class, I was so intrigued by what they said that I wanted to know more about their work field. I especially found Martha job interesting because she works in a school setting and that’s where I want to work. I…

positive for both the workers and the employers. It is positive for the workers because they can now things faster and they can work faster too, because all their problems are getting solved as soon as possible. This is a good thing for the employers too, because now the whole company is on the same topic and if there is a problem it can be solved right away. However this can be a negative thing for workers. They may think it’s too large of a step and that may create shyness where no one wants…

Moving to Texas junior year was one of the hardest things I have ever taken part in. For the longest time, I never had a good thing to say about it. Texas was the last place I wanted to be at that point in my life. Thank you for making me feel more at ease and answering any questions I might have had. Thank you for telling me that I was the only junior in that class when in reality I wasn’t. Danielle Hansford happened to be the only other junior in that classroom full of disgusting freshman.…

A turning point come can at any time. It can determine which road you decide to travel down in your life, the things you accomplish, and the dreams that are reached. You can be faced with a predicament, but you choose how to react. You can either roll with the punches, or decide to get hit. Life is not an easy walk through the park. There will come times when you have to stand up and fight, or times when you should just sit down and let life happen. In my life there have not been a lot of…
