are times to give up, and times to not give up, and sometimes even though giving up might seem like the right option, not giving up can lead to great success. My senior year of High school was hectic. Not only did I have the stress that comes from school work, I also started working too, to hopefully get some experience, and also, have some change in my pocket. I had landed a pretty sweet job at an Insurance company named All…

looked for anything to occupy my time whether that be a swingset or a bunch of rocks to skip. I eventually found another small patch of sand around the size of a door. I sat down on the sand and put my feet in the cold water and just looked out into the river as I realized no one had phone service and that we could be on the island for a long while. I got up after about 5 minutes and pulled out my phone which was a sliding phone at the time and I checked the time, it was around two in the…

would be able to count on watching it with my family every time it aired. We put aside our individual tasks and problems and gathered around the TV every Friday to watch Five-O. The shows characters gave prominent examples of leadership, honor, and morals, and many lessons from the show still stick with me today. Hawaii Five-O taught me a lot of things about family and what’s really important, and it brought me closer to my family every time we sat down to watch it. As soon as the show first…

larger group known as society" (Henslin 153). Primary groups are a close-knit family. With the primary group family members help each other stay on track and on the right path.

I will always follow my religion and never forget what I learned through the years. It’s a big part of…

explains that when people take shortcuts in their reading due to the lack of time, they end up skimming their reading. I tried to finish a reading as fast as possible by looking at the reading questions first and then skimming the text. This way, I would just look for the answers in the text instead of reading the whole thing twice. We tend to read more nowadays because of how we read; when we skim a text, we have enough time to read more, leading to Dwight’s term of being “well informed”. I…

license. Well all the kids were to young so we just did the normal ones, and had a blast. Then another night we had family cookout and camp fire. We cooked burgers and hot dogs, also had smores. We spent a lot of the time chilling out around the fire and tell stories from all different times in everyone’s life. The day after my uncles girlfriend was at the green kiddy lift, well this was only here 3rd day skiing. So as she was getting on the lift, she was to far to one side and the bar picked…

Confidence and other attributes can be acquired through exercise, but in order to accomplish their goals they will have to do something that many Americans and students in general refuse to do. They will have to exercise. Exercise is hard work and often times students would rather cheat by using drugs to improve themselves or their social life, but drugs often have many long term effects that will lead to more harm than good.

Universal determinism is the thesis that every event is fully determined by an event or several events that proceeded it. It was Pierre Laplace who pointed out that the present state of the universe is the effect of its preceded state (Litch 121). It is the past that creates the present and it is the present that determines the future. Everything is what is now because it was determined by something in the past. According to Mary Litch, “Events in the past are determined and fixed: we may regret…
