United Way

went out of the way and tried to make Holly never talk to me, but in her amazing stubbornness she said no, and since that day, Hank wasn’t as mean or cruel to me, he must have moved on to some fresh-meat that just transferred from some place in Ohio. As Holly and I got to know more about each other from talking, training together, doing chores and just hanging out, we started to spend more time with each other, and this is about halfway through the time I spent there. I was on my way to ask her…

In Master Harold ...and the boys, Sam invites hally and willie to imagine lives transformed by courageously hopeful vision, but while willie eventually embraces that vision, the play ends sadly when hally condemns himself to hopeless cynicism when he repeatedly rejects this invitation and uses his imagination to defend himself against hope and to bruise others with his cynical pictures of a broken world. In "Master Harold"...and the boys we see Sam’s imagination and his strive to spread his…

varying from different colored eyes, skin color, height, weight, hairstyles, clothes we wear, and different names. Everyone is an individual and has their own way of how think and the way they interpret the world around them. We also project people a certain by what is said about them by people, the way the media portrays them, or simply by the way they look like on the outside. This is a thing called stereotyping or labeling of a person. In the TED Talk, which I very much enjoyed watching and…

“The only way to end racism is to stop talking about it.” Was actor Morgan Freeman’s response when asked how to end racism. Morgan said that: “Black history is American history.” and it seems fairly accurate. The racial schism has existed in America since 1619, when African Americans were brought to help tobacco farmers in Jamestown, Virginia. We as Americans would like to believe that racism is no longer a problem; However, it still exists in large amounts in our country. When Morgan said…

Brian Gallagher has many leadership theories according to his behavior in changing United Way and put it on the track again. Firstly, he raised some questions about the mission of United Way: was it to raise funds or to have an impact on communities? And he answered it as: we are concerned about changing people's lives; fundraising is the strategy to do so. He knew the problem and acts according to this. In that behavior he first saw that his work is to serve other people and consequently, he…

The identity/post-colonial lens is an additional lens in which a reader can read through. In this lens, the reader looks for examples of how a person’s self-image is affected by how others nearby see him or her, along with also looking at how one culture naturally has power over another in the vicinity. The reader will look for characters who are affected by the world and different cultures around him or her, analyzing the effects these have on the characters. People who are only…

Knowledge and Experience with Nonprofits In 2003, I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in social work. Since then I have had experience working for nonprofits. As I started out my career I have worked for nonprofits in the area of mental health, homelessness, and adoption. This has allowed me to gain knowledge of how they operate. I have had experience working with board members, fund raising, and general operations. I have also gained insight to some of the advantages and the…

maternity wards where severely handicapped infants have been left to starve" (Tada 63). While euthanasia is illegal in all but one of the United States, it is a widely used form of treatment in countries like the Netherlands where it is highly regulated. I am not suggesting that euthanasia be legalized to open the door of escape for anyone seeking a way out. I am speaking only in advocacy for people who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Oregon is the only state in North…

needed help, someone will give us a helping hand when we need it. So I use that way of thinking at all times and at all places. I always try to help as many people as I can and most times I offer the help without being asked. The reason I believe things work this way and that the idea of helping others actually works was because of what happened to me a while back. One day in the winter time as I was making my way back home from school, after soccer practice when I saw a little…

true. He always wears in a red headband with writing “The Hero” (义者) which is made by himself. Papyrus is not quiet but obtrusive in the group, so this let people feel him in the ways of confidence and innocence. He didn’t have some close friends ever, because he likes to talk about his dreams with others in unfiltered ways, which let others felt unrealistic. However, in the Peach Blossom Village, he is the welcome one by his enthusiasms. He is really helpful and honest to strangers as well as…
