The years of hard work and dedication have finally paid off. As I stand with the scoutmaster in front of me, and the audience behind my back, I feel like this accomplishment will not only help me develop as a leader, but also as a person. Becoming an eagle scout is more than a badge and a rank; it is a sense of duty and fulfillment that I have sought for so many years and am finally able to achieve. From Cub Scout to Eagle Scout, like adolescence to adulthood, this momentous occasion symbolizes my
Ever since I joined scouting as a Senior Webelo, I wanted to become an Eagle Scout. I started my journey by obtaining my Arrow of Light, then bridged as soon as I could to Troop 0713 located at American Martyr’s church in Manhattan Beach. Now at age 14 and going into tenth grade, I stand on the brink of success regarding my Eagle Scout award after years of hard work and determination. Outside of scouting, I am very involved at various churches around the South Bay area. I have volunteered mostly
I am Jacob Heeter, member of Troop 56, from Knox, PA. I did my Eagle Scout Project making a handicap accessible walkway from the road to the building at Camp Coffman, Cranberry, PA.

I am taking a lot of Mathematical classes in High School, this year I am taking Statistics and Business Math. Next year I will either
Friends of Scouting, Ladies and Gentlemen, and Eagle Scouts... I would like to start by saying: there are no more important people in this room than the two young men we honor here. If there were a Congressman, a United States senator, a governor, or even a chief executive officer of a FORTUNE 500 company here today, there would be no one in the room more important than our new Eagle Scouts. They are among the most important people in America. These two new Eagle Scouts are the worthiest members
The reason for me of wanting to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout is a matter of wanting to do better than the norm. It is often tempting to want to sit around and accomplish nothing, only desiring instant gratification. My ultimate goal in life is to have a successful and sustaining career and to be able to have a happy wife and children. By getting the rank of Eagle Scout, I can show myself that my hard work and perseverance can pay off and that I am only one step closer to reaching the future that
The Italian Renaissance attracts all people with its mystery. Dante played a very important role in the golden age of Florence with his profound implications of his works. More interestingly, people never suppress their curiosity about the question that what happened in Florence that forced Dante to create meaning in allegory.

basic system for having the capacity to escape your examples and take back control by venturing out of the feeling. 1) Intentionally perceive that you are encountering some type of negative feeling. 2) Stand up (on the off chance that you are sitting) and make an overstated stride in reverse with the goal that you are actually venturing out of the feeling. At the same time say so everyone can hear, I am venturing out of this feeling. I am not this feeling. This feeling is not me. I am totally separate
question usually asked by many before investing in a complex investment vehicle. The most definite answer is yes. There is a direct correlation between higher risk investment and returns (Denis Babusiaux 2005). The quest for higher returns leads to venturing in complex investments with greater risks and increased possibility of investment losses.

“Two women, one fat and the other slim, sat on straw bottomed chairs knitting black wool.” (Page 13). “...Guarding the door of Darkness, knitting black wool as for a warm pall, one introducing, introducing continuously to the unknown, the other scrutinizing the cheery and foolish faces with unconcerned old eyes.” (Page 14).

powerful imagery emphasizes the speaker’s own search for soulful connectedness to the world. As written in the second stanza at line six “And you, O my soul where you stand, / Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space, /Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them…” (Whitman 720) brings forth the visual image of a disconnected soul floating and searching through the universe for something to connect with to fill the void in the speaker’s soul.

risk is that of AT&T. Moreover this company stands out as a financial risk because they are acquiring many new entities to take on as a result to gain a competitive advantage. Furthermore, it is noted that there are many skeptics in regards to AT&T venturing into the new entities such as DIRECTV and Time Warner (Werback, 2016). Likewise, with shares of both companies declining initially the first day after the acquisition and deal was announced poses much of a financial risk. Werbach (2016) contends
