It is all the rage and stores are trying to keep stocked with this not so new invention. Even though it took off in popularity this spring, the first fidget…
Good morning! We start the day at 6:30 am, ready to start the day. Not really, but we get up anyway because we have a job to go and kids to get moving. I step in the shower and get clean. As I get ready, the shoe could vary day to day. You see, I work in a vet clinic. We do different things on different days. Like today for example was surgery day, so I know that we won't be moving dog food or any like that. That means I'm a pretty shoe, not a comfortable shoe. Tomorrow will be a comfortable…
I’ve climbed a mountain; not like marched up Everest, but climbed a 100 foot rock face. It is important you know this about me because this act encompasses how far I’ve come in my life, and in my art. It is also the thing I am most proud of. First, I have never been the thinnest girl, quite the opposite actually, so the idea of putting on a harness in front of anyone was terrifying. What if it didn’t fit, or worse, what if it barely fit and I looked like one of those stress toys you squeeze?…
After an entire semester of ballet class, I am able to say that I acquired the most basic knowledge of the field. Although my performance was not always the best, I managed to learn the sequences and movements. By watching the videotaped performance, I was able to identify the aspects of ballet technique that were taught along the semester and that I performed correctly, as well as the aspects that need further correction and improvement. Also, as compared to the midterm self-evaluation, it is…
to where I wanted to be the last time I used it. Thus, with renewed hope, I began to keep track of where I had traveled and where I had yet to travel. If at any point nothing in my vicinity looked remotely familiar, I told myself that I could just turn around and head in the opposite direction. Eventually, I was hoping to find a street with a familiar name that I could take all the way to McAllen, which I did. Thank goodness for street signs and turning…

. I had never noticed my poor arm alignment until it was brought to my attention. One of my peers, Joy Scott, advised me to lift my elbows to the ceiling while in different positions such as first and second. She also mentioned if I did not feel anything engaged, I was not doing it right. From that point on, I was determined to adjust my arm alignment as it became evident to my professor. I received feedback during my midterm conference and I continued to work on my arm alignment in and out of…
A refugee is someone who is forced to flee their home country due to war, prosecution, natural disaster, or any other reason that made them leave. Some universal experiences they have to go though are learning the language, finding somewhere to stay, and eventually getting used to a new life with the help of others. It is a long process, but almost all refugees are able to finally get back into the daily grind and adjust to their new lifestyle at some point. Ha and her family came from South…
Power is a thing that everyone wants. We see people around the world trying to have fighting for power. Examples of people are like Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, these people fought for power and did not care if they hurt others. As we can see in Macbeth, he hurt people so he can get to be king. Macbeth, from being a honorable person, turned out to be an unforgiving person. Macbeth was a respectful man who served the king with great loyalty. He feels guilt already because he is the King’s good…
the group was found out to be infected by the Flare. Anything can happen to anyone. From the president of the United States to the average everyday beggar on the streets. Nothing is for sure and no one is 100 percent immune to anything. Twists and turns in a story are often not solvable by a single person, which is why teamwork is such a great thing to…
