What makes a good person good? According to WikiHow, "We should learn to define our own morals ourselves.

In order to be a good person, you have to do good and moral things in your society consistently. However people might think that by doing one good thing once in a while will automatically make you a “good person”, but in reality it doesn’t.

    The definition of grit is simple; it means being passionate about long term goals, and showing stamina to pursue them, but should students in public schools have a class dedicated to a grit-focused curriculum? This has become a major topic of discussion among teachers and mentors. Angela Duckworth, a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, claims grit is not a fixed quality but one that can be developed. Many disagree with her statement. Grit is something everyone all have within themselves, but some just do not utilize this characteristic as often or as well as others. Grit is a puzzling concept.

    “Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. This is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast over nature”. From the beginning of time man and nature has been in conflict with one another because, as a whole, there is no cooperating. Each one tirelessly wants its way. The Man is fighting for dominance and nature w never yielding its authority. In American Literature, many authors illustrate this theme in their writing. Specifically the writers Jack London in The Law Of Life, Stephen Crane The Open Boat and Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Fin. Each explores the relationship between humans and nature but with slightly different methods. Mark Twain uses nature in a realistic way, Jack London in a naturalistic way and Stephen Crane constitutes a combination of both.

However, as we are still alive, our life is meaningful, every little piece of you can be worthwhile. Don’t believe?

    People are always moving around and going to places all day, every minute of their lives. Whether it is standing up to go to the bathroom, walking to the park, or even driving to work, humans are always going to need a form of transportation. For me and for many other college students, as well as professors and staff, Uber is the best choice when it comes to car transportation. Personally, I have used Uber for a couple years now and I love it. Since Uber is used in most countries, I was able to use it in my hometown Bogota, Colombia, Miami, and now here in the wonderful city of New Orleans. I use Uber instead of a taxi because it will take me safely to my destination, it is affordable, and most of the time the wait time is short.
