Things to Come

'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 when I realized that I needed to witness things hands in order to truly understand them. This 30 minute walk around our…

Erik who is not followed around with an IEP. Paul can see many things such as the koi being taken right under Mr. Costello’s nose. Of course, nobody believes him because he’s “blind” and “can’t see anything”. Paul just quietly thinks to himself “There goes another one of you koi , Mr. Costello.” (page 64). This quote from the book shows how Paul has to keep some things to himself and laugh at everyone who doesn’t believe him. Another thing that Paul sees is a vital part to end of the story. He…

gone wrong? For as far back as I can remember, every other summer my family has taken a long journey to Southern California to visit relatives. Had we ever flown? Yes, but only when there were 2 children to worry about. Now that there are 8 of us, things would have gotten a little complicated. Instead, we took our old Yukon - and when I say old, I mean ancient. Our car is 15 years old. Maybe this is where the problem started. Riding in a car can be very difficult, especially when it’s full of…

“The art of being happy lies in the power of finding happiness in ordinary things. Life doesn’t force us to be perfect it only asks us to do our best.” -Unknown This has been a quote I have learned to follow throughout the course of my junior year. If we allow ourselves to be happy about little achievements and know that we did our best regardless of the outcome, then we can help ourselves be more successful in the future. A good example of some of the small accomplishments i 've made my…

Over the course of my life I have come across many obstacles physically, mentally, and spiritually. From the deaths of loved ones and good people I have had the honor to call friends, all the way down to the mud pits and physical hells of being a Marine, the trials and tribulations of my life are many. Sometimes it can be brought to point that I brought this all upon myself, and for the most part this is true. All of the decisions I have made have brought me to where I am at this point,…

become a leader. With every group project comes with negatives and positives. It is what you take out the whole experience that counts. Tuckman’s group development model for groups is in four stages, the first being forming then storming, norming and lastly is performing. Looking back at my group now we went through at least three of these stages. Forming was a fairly quick…

may not have the idea but they can show a thousand words in just one picture. That is key thing in videography is it has to capture, what the author writes they show with just one frame, weather it is to show a character's attitude, personality, authority, or anything really camera placement can come in handy.

Many people call the life that we live in “a man world,” however it is not just a man world it is also a women world too. Many thing can be blames for the image that makes people believe that women should live up to. There are also many…

Our Town is clearly a representation - and largely a celebration - of small-town American life. Nearly every character in the play love’s Grover's Corners, even as many of them acknowledge its small-mindedness and dullness. Its sleepy simplicity, in fact, is its major point of attraction for many characters. Dr. Gibbs, for instance, who refuses to travel, thus cultivates his ignorance of life outside of Grover's Corners in order to remain content within it; his son, too, decides not to go away…
