Time Is on My Side

needed on my final journey and what would be hard to leave behind was a very long and thoughtful process. I first gathered photos and items to be representative of different aspects of things and people I will leave behind. All the items fit together one way or another to come together for the big picture of what will be more difficult about taking my final journey at the end of my life. The first thing I found was the photo of me white water rafting. This will be used to represent my spirit…

From the time I was very young I had my future planned out. My major and career have changed a few times since then. I am now planning on studying athletic training in college and becoming an athletic trainer. I have researched the University of Georgia, Georgia College and State University, Mercer University, and University of North Georgia and have also gone over their positives and negatives. University of Georgia has many great aspects and very few negatives. Most importantly UGA has a very…

My dad always told me stories about many Native artifacts that he found in the past when he found in the past, when I was a little kid. He showed me many arrowheads, axes and poetry. Even in my grandfather's old shop he had many artifacts on the wall. There was so many artifacts I did not know what they all was. Sometimes my dad would take me places to go find artifacts. We always found many artifacts and we had a good time. Sometimes when I held the artifact I would wish that I could go back…

For this social change case study, I chose to interview Judy Phillips, my grandmother on my mother’s side. She was born in April of 1940. When she was the age that I am now, equal opportunities and achievements for women were practically unheard of. In this report, the social change of women’s political, labor, and educational opportunities from the 1950’s to now will be addressed through the testimony of Mrs. Phillips. The first part of social change that was discussed with Mrs. Phillips was…

from two different cultural and racial backgrounds, I decided to make my topic of my kinship chart about race. Knowing what it feels like to be half-Sikh and half-Hindu, I am able to get a point of view of both racial perspectives of myself. As my kinship chart shows, my mother is Sikh and my father is Hindu. However, for reasons being, I was taken out of their custody when I was seven years old, along with my younger sister. Thus my grandparents were able to gain custody of us and raise the…

My story begins with my birth; my birthday is February 6th, 1996. I come from a very strict and orderly background and my story hasn’t been the easiest but I have come a long way. My mother was Mary Oliver, a St. Martian woman who had seven siblings that included my aunt who will later become a huge influence on my life. My mother and her seven grew up in St. Martin, a small Caribbean island not far from St. Thomas. There they all live under one roof in Grand Case, which is a town on the French…

and large, uneven rocks. Finally, the rolling stops my face planted in the dirt, as I pushed myself upward, my family was already at the top of the hill screaming at me “ARE YOU ALRIGHT, HE DEFINITELY BROKE SOMETHING.” There voices sounded like I was underwater. Only one thought raced through my head, “why didn’t you wait until you knew how to do this”. That painful moment all started one day when i was playing my tony hawk video game in my dark room. “lane your uncle Derek is coming tomorrow…

My father and I made efforts to see her on a regular basis, but that turned out to be once or twice every one or two months. This is far from enough social interaction for most people. During the time in between our visits, she would occasionally go on outings with folks her age, but only one companion was truly by her side all the time. Her most valued comrade was her dog, Skeeter. He was far from the only dog she had…

responded to arguments and rhetorical appeals mentioned in the article. To start of I first identified the argument, located in the middle part of my thesis, when I stated, “...Alice Park and Alexandra Sifferlin from TIME magazine prove that these so called “healthy foods” are current food trends without any significant health benefits.” Also, in the last part of my thesis I identified the rhetorical appeals used by the authors’ when I stated, “...caricatures to depict the ridiculousness of…

People who have an injury to the right side of the brain "don't put things together" and fail to process important information. As a result, they often develop a "denial syndrome" and say "there's nothing wrong with me." For example, I treated a person with an injury to the right side of the brain--specifically, the back part of the right brain that deals with visual information--and he lost half of his vision. Because the right side of the brain was injured, it failed to "collect" information…
