Graduating and getting out on your own is a difficult step to make. There are a lot of things that you have to take into perspective. The choices that you make when you get out of highschool believe it or not are crucial and life altering. Decisions that you have to make are ones like what you want your career to be, where you want to live, and a big decision is buying a house. In making these decisions you have to do a lot of research and things to be prepared. I did a lot of research in hopes of finding a career that I would like and three things that I could see myself doing was owning my own spa ($100,000 yearly salary), managing a spa($60,000 yearly salary), or being an Esthetician. After thinking long and hard about it however, I decided I would like to be en Esthetician. An Esthetician is a person who gives care to skin in a non-medical way. An Esthetician makes a decent amount of money which is important to have if I want to be able to afford a house.
Being an Esthetician would be fun because I enjoy working with people and I am good at working with them. I am also good with my hands which is necessary in my job Making other people feel better about themselves makes me feel better about myself. One set back in that job however would have to be foot fungus. Feet aren?t my favorite thing on the human body especially with any kind of fungus on them. Going into a job that has a high paying salary often requires experience or schooling. I would have to take classes and work hard to get my license so that it is easier for me to find a job. To become an Esthetician it is only required to have at least 17 weeks of classes which would cost under $1,000.00 and at the end of the classes I would graduate with my license in esthetics. I looked at job offers and have came to the conclusion that if I was an Esthetician I would make an estimated amount of $50,000.00 a year. That salary however can vary depending on your qualities and experience.
I plan on living in Long Beach, California and the reason being is I have always had the desire to live near the beach. Living far away I would have to take into consideration transportation. Being on my own requires you to be financially stable. So I figured out that if I had a 2002 Jeep Gand Cherokee La...

... in Long Beach which is a wealthy town. So the price of my house is very reasonable for the area I am going to be living in. It could be cheaper to take out a 20 year loan and pay $100 a month more which would cover the interest but with my salary it is better for me to take a 30 year loan.
I asked myself two questions at the beginning of this project, one being what if I run out of equity on my home with a reverse mortgage? I found that answer on www.google.com and it said that you can?t run out of money and they can not force you to move out of your home. Another question was, when I am old if I have to go to a nursing home what will happen to my house? That answer was also found on www.google.com and it was that if you are moved out for a year or longer then my home can be sold. All of these things and more have to be considered before you even buy a house. So researching and taking your time thinking about every detail is extremely important. You want to be able to afford what you have and still have money to save or spend at your discretion. I hope that one day this bit of research gives me some backing for when I actually do move out on my own.
Because of Amir’s extreme desire to receive the attention and affection from Baba, he begins to subconsciously sacrifice his relationship with Hassan in order to fulfill his interests. However, as Amir continuously matures and begins to recognize his initial ignorant, detrimental actions towards Hassan, he no longer “worship” his father like he did in the past. This causes him to ensure a sense of independence because of his ability to quickly adapt to a completely new, unfamiliar environment and remain adamant on pursuing their own aspirations.
Ananya believes it is Amir’s cowardice that causes him to commit such a terrible act resulting in his lifelong guilt. She says the reason Amir did not step in and save Hassan because he was afraid he would get hurt.
Being an Esthetician is an incredibly fulfilling job that involves helping people, with endless opportunities, education and an immense amount of different career paths to take. Being an esthetician means you have the power to help make a difference in people’s lives every day, by teaching people how to protect and take care of their skin; the largest organ of the body. Esthetics is a career that involves taking care of the health and well being of the skin, by studying ingredients, product development and chemistry to figure out how clients can best protect and preserve their skin without being taken advantage of by the mass amounts of fake products out there. Estheticians also perform different skincare treatments, waxing services along with
Guilt. A cancerous thing, spreading through your body, manipulating your thoughts, working as a deterrent for any type of long term vivacity. As seen in Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner one of the main themes is seeking redemption. We see that in order to seek redemption and earn it, you must have the self-motivation deeper than other people pushing you.
Amir throughout the novel always felt guilty for not sticking up for Hassan especially when Assef raped Hassan in the alleyway. Amir 's guilt during this time made it hard for him to even be around Hassan because he didn 't know how to feel except guilty. Amir started treating Hassan very distant from him and doing things that would eventually ruin their friendship such as stop talking to him, hitting him with pomegranates, and trying to frame him as a thief (Chapter 8). Rahim Khan who played a very important role in the lives of Hassan and Amir felt guilty for keeping the secret about how the two boys were actually half brothers ( Chapter 17) . The secret was discovered once Amir returned to Afghanistan, this was part of the reason Rahim Khan disappeared after Amir left his house to go find Sohrab. Throughout the book Amir 's actions affected how he treated and dealt with everyone else. Amir 's actions often made him feel guilty because he didn 't stick up for himself or others. Amir 's actions such as when he asked Hassan “You’d do that? Eat dirt if I told you too” especially made him feel guilty because Hassan would do anything Amir asked of him (Chapter
Insecurity and guilt play a major role in the life of Amir. It is evident in this story that
A major point to this argument is when Assef attacks Hassan in the alleyway. Instead of standing up for and protecting Hassan, Amir just watches as Hassan is brutally beaten and raped. When Amir recalled his options, he says, “ I had one last chance to make a decision. One final opportunity to decide who I was going to be. I could step into that alley, stand up for Hassan-and accept whatever would happen to me. Or I could run. In the end, I ran.” This particular passage shows what exactly it was that plagued Amir’s mind until he grew up. Although Hassan had shown a significant demonstration of allegiance towards Amir when standing up for him against Assef, he was not repaid for that loyalty when he needed it the most. Due to cowardice and fear, He decided that the approval of his father meant more to him than saving Hassan from
“There are only two types of women— goddesses and doormats.” Pablo Picasso used this quote to describe how he saw the woman of his era, and for the most part, this interesting quote is somewhat correct when looking at the role of women in literature over the years. The woman either goes above and beyond for others without thinking of herself, or she stands firm in her beliefs and is respected for her actions and looks. In sum, the woman is either overlooked or is adored and cherished. There are still many people who continue to belittle and degrade the woman’s role in the twentieth century. Over the many different periods in time and the several eras, the roles of women in literature have changed in the eyes of numerous authors. However,
When someone makes the decision to buy or rent a home they must consider the advantages and disadvantages of each. In buying a home the primary advantage is that you actually own it. You can do whatever you want with it. Also, you are building equity as the years go by. “People today have problems saving for their future” (CNN Money, 2014). However, when they buy a home, the money they put down for a down payment is an investment. When the person sells the home they get back the down payment and the amount the property has appreciated in value. When looking at the advantages of renting it is easy to see the disadvantages of buying for some people. Even though you don’t get the money back that you put into it, renting could be a more satisfying option for some. This is because renting allows for flexibility. The person can move wherever as soon as there lease is up. Renters may see buying as “a reduction in lifestyle, moving to a smaller place, and perhaps a less expensive neighborhood.” (CNN Money, 2014). For example someone who rents an apartment enjoys how the complex keeps up the area and all the amenities it has to offer, and it is in an upper class part of town. However, when they buy they looks all the benefits, they have to do maintenance themselves, and move to an area they don’t particularly like to fit their price range.
Hassan and his father move out and Baba is devastated after they leave. Amir grows up and his country becomes so packed and filled by the Russians that he and Baba finally decide they have to flee their home country, and head to the USA. Baba dies of cancer and Amir gets married to a woman named Soraya, who has a shaky past. While all this time goes by he is still haunted with this guilt of what he has done. One day he receives a call from one of Baba’s best friends Rahim Kahn and he says that Amir must rescue Hassan’s son. He heads back to his home country where the Taliban have totally taken over and searches endlessly for Sohrab, Hassan’s son. After he finds him, he finds out that he is a sex slave for a top Taliban official. He later comes to find out that the Taliban official is Assef. He rescues the boy and comes to care for
Travel back in time to where women have no rights and imagine how they would feel seeing all the things women are now capable of. How did society view women at the turn of the century? Women at the turn of the century with reference to “The Yellow Wallpaper” and “ A New England Nun”: treatment of women at the turn of century, societies view of women at the turn of the century, defeating the patriarchal society at the turn of the century. The essay covers the treatment of women, how society viewed them as a whole, and how they defeated the patriarchal culture of their time. Feminism was not about what most people thing feminism is about women striving for their basic rights, the equal rights come in to play later on.
One question that comes to mind when graduating high school is, “should I attend college?” For many graduates this question have a very obvious answer. A high school graduate may state that, “college is the best option if one is trying to get a higher level of education, and will help one compete for a higher paying job.” However, in my opinion most graduates do not consider the fact that going to college is a very big decision to make and that the schoolwork will not be easy. Going to college is not the best choice for every high school graduate because many students cannot handle college, colleges’ lower standards, and not all jobs require a college degree.
The big ideas about life in this novel are, the search for redemption, guilt, and self forgiveness. The search for redemption is presented after Amir allows Hassan to be raped by Assef. After he allows Hassan to be raped he believes that the only way he can forgive himself is if he redeems himself by doing something good. He may not have saved Hassan but he made sure that no other person he encountered was going to be raped in front of him. He proves this by, helping Baba save the girl on the truck from being raped by the Russian soldier and also He saves Sohrab from the Taliban and Aseff. This showed true redemption on Amir’s side of the story. This also ties into another theme presented in this story and that is guilt, Amir shows a lot of
Some people say that the definition of independence is a complex word and idea to try to define. In al truth independence is a perplexing word to try to define. This is because everybody has their own speculations of what independence is. Very infrequently are their two people that have the same perception of what the definition of independence is. What I perceive the definition of independence is the absolute freedom to do what you want, and to not be held back by any rules or laws of government or man, but by the rules and laws of nature and your own self concise. My view of independence may greatly differ form your beliefs on the definition but in this paper I will try to show exactly what my perspective on the definition of independence is by my experiences, my beliefs, my thoughts, and research on the subject at hand.
My $150,000 windfall arrived like a boon from another planet, one wholly intent upon the happiness of a single inhabitant of Earth: me! A Philadelphia native, sunny California still called my name as loudly as it had when I was six years old and I told my father, “I’m moving to California!”
