Venturing

Joining the Cub Scouts program in first grade put me on track to join the Boy Scouts of America, which at age eleven, I transitioned into, thus beginning my journey towards achieving the coveted pinnacle of the scouting program: Eagle Scout. Obtaining the Eagle rank is a long and difficult process, building within the scout strong traits of leadership, teamwork, and individual growth mindset, because progression is up to the scout. If it’s something they really want, then they will go after it and do what needs to be done. which are all essential elements in life. As progression through scouting occurs, individuals accumulate valuable experience working as a team given that the structure of the troop derives from small groups of six to eight…

By definition an Eagle Scout is a boy scout who has reached the highest level of attainment in the various tests of skill and endurance set by the boy scout organization. I want to get my Eagle Scout because it not only teaches boy scouts how to survive and do basic things such as cooking, making fires, first aid, etc. It also gives you an advantage in applying for jobs. When applying for a job you could have the same application as someone else but if they see that you have your Eagle Scout…

Venturing into the tunnel requires Jerry to possess a certain level of physical strength which he is not capable of displaying when he first visits the rocky bay. He spends a majority of his time and effort dedicated to pursuing the strength necessary to accomplish his goal of passing through the tunnel, pushing his body so hard that “his nose bled so badly ... he turned dizzy and had lie limply over the big rock.” (pg 3) His desire to be equal in strength to the older boys is so strong it…

I could feel the calling, stronger under the stars. Years ago, a deal—not mine—made against freedom trapped them underneath. Long fingernails, long hair, long teeth, and for what? Another man's pleasure? No, it cannot be pleasure now. Hundreds of years, or maybe thousands, and no redemption to greed, to the hunger. Venturing into the woods led to the destruction of what I once was—my humanity, my sanity. No one who had turned went there first. To them, the woods were a sign of lost hope. Cast…

Mars has a very harsh environment not yet suitable for humans. However, compared to other planets in space, Mars is humanity's best chance at attempting to colonize. The colonization of the Red Planet is drawing near due to many different space venturing companies coming together. Furthermore to this topic, large debate is only rising since the opinions of many are strikingly divided. "Mars today, despite its subzero temperatures (on average -63°C), thin non-radiation and savage global dust…

People typically stray away from the unknown, led by their unwillingness to take risks and desire to predict outcomes. Fear of the unknown causes peoples’ identities and opportunities to remain stagnant. Venturing into the unknown allows for opportunities that were once unrevealed. While doing things that someone is comfortable with is most likely to result in a favorable and predictable outcome, branching out and moving out of one's comfort zone is necessary for someone to diversify one’s…

Enduring Difficulty to Achieve In scene 7, the little monk tells Galileo about his concern for his family not being able to handle the truth of astronomy or ready to being doubting things, and Galileo starts to talk about the theme of enduring difficulty and change. The play argues that people must be willing to go through difficulty by mocking the little monk’s family and anyone who is similar, using the oyster metaphor as a representation of sacrifice, and by using rhetorical questions to…

In the two fables, “Little Red Riding Hood” and “The Story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears”, there are several differences and similarities present. In the stories, the surface similarities are setting, protagonist, morals, and plot. For example, they both take place in a forest. Goldilocks wanders around and winds up getting lost there while Little Red Riding Hood is on a journey for her grandmother. Although they have different motives for venturing into the woods, the location is the same.…

Edge gives a vivid visualization of his fear of eating the pig skin, of trying something that he’s never done before, of venturing beyond what he considers normal. To him, the idea of eating the flesh is repulsive despite the fact that plenty of other people consider the lip a delightful snack. These two stories tell of the fear involved with venturing past the ideas and traditions that people find themselves accustomed to and Coyne’s story is no different. She describes how she was raised with…
