To me, an act of Chesed was life saving. In 2014, I was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia and was given a fairly bleak prognosis. I wasn’t able to achieve remission after my induction round of chemotherapy, and hence I was in need of a bone marrow transplant. Through Hashem’s will, the transplant was a success and now I have a clean bill of health. If my donor didn’t sign up for the bone marrow registry, I wouldn’t have survived. Without an act of Chesed, I wouldn’t be here today. That is why acts of Chesed are so important to who I am as a person. I run bone marrow drives with my team Mile High Marrow because I too hope that I will be able to help save someone’s life. At the same time though, I don’t want to relegate my community service
This past summer, I acquired an internship at Baldwin and Lyons, an insurance company in Indianapolis. Every Wednesday during my internship, a couple of employees and I would participate in a prodigious community service project, Meals on Wheels. Throughout the three months that I worked at Baldwin and Lyons, I got acquainted with some of the individuals whom we delivered to. These inspiring individuals were so grateful and appreciative that we took time out of our day to volunteer to do such a service. One elderly woman who we delivered to would sing to us as she came to the front door “good meals, good meals, good meals.” She is one woman that I will never forget. First going into this, I was elated knowing I was I getting out of the office for a few hours. I did not comprehend the fulfillment I would receive from delivering meals to the elderly and disabled. But I am pleased and proud of the work that I have done for Meals on Wheels. There is no better feeling than doing something for someone else and seeing such gratitude for something so simple. Acts 20:35 says, “In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Peterson). In an effort to revisit and make a difference in my community, I have arranged that over Thanksgiving break, I work Monday through Wednesday delivering for Meals on Wheels of Central Indiana.
My sixteen week class in English 111. I was really nervous about this class. Because English has never been my strong point. This class has hard, but fun all at the same time. I learn a lot from this class. Meanwhile,the first day of class you handed a paper with a question on it. “The first thing I want to say to you who are students is that you must not think of being here to receive an education; instead, you will do much better to think of being here to claim one.” Even though putting my all in what I have learned, claiming my education with hard work because using the skills of the meal plan, as we write to different audiences and learning to be a Critically thinker as I start becoming a critically-Literate Citizenship.
Of the many mitzvot, performing acts of loving-kindness, or chesed, is considered one of the most important. No one understood this religious obligation more clearly than my father; it was one of his primary life directives. Each of you is here today because you've experienced my father's kindness, concern and generosity in some way.
There are countless people who aspire to help people in their lives. However, if you think about it, nearly every career helps others in some way, shape, or form. Teachers, scientists, policemen and various other careers aid people in different ways. I, like many others, have always known that I’ve wanted to help people. Yet, I also want to do more than that. I want to help others, but also save others- emotionally or physically, mentor others, inspire others, and be there for others during their most vulnerable times. This is who I am- and I have always been this person. In first grade, I ran a lemonade stand at my school for the Make-A-Wish Foundation; I got my third grade class to raise money for starving children; and I put up with bullying throughout middle school because I befriended a girl who had trouble making friends on her own. The quality of pure selflessness and care for others that I have always possessed would allow me to do something great with my life- it just took me some time to figure out what.
My journey began when I signed up to play in a golf tournament for the benefit of the Breast Cancer Foundation when, ironically, I discovered a lump in one of my breasts. At the time I was more concerned with the tournament than the lump and I decided to only monitor it for any changes. Much to my chagrin, I noticed it was steadily growing. A friend suggested that I see a doctor. I procrastinated in doing so, prompting my concerned friend to call and make the appointment for me. Looking back now I probably would not have made it to the doctor if it weren't for the action of a friend who unknowingly played a key role in saving my life.
On October 12th, I was invited to watch an open dress rehearsal for The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, at the Theatre Calgary. I had already read the play back in high school, so I didn’t expect to be amazed by the performance. However, the performance ended up blowing me away. This was the second professional play I had ever watched, and it allowed me to understand how much work professional acting takes. Overall, the performance had me hooked in the moment even though I already knew what was going to happen next.
In my visual I did specific artistic styles to reflect the quote, for what it means for me. I did a globe as the overall idea because this quote mainly meant for me was moving, so I showed it through a globe. Also this relates to anyone who has moved from another country to find a better home for their family, whether it was to Canada or anywhere else in the world because at the end we are given better opportunities to a better life. For the colours, I did the water dark blue to show the idea of moving is hard because we leaving our loved ones and our home behind, but I did the countries in light green to show that though we a moving away from our homes, we are building better ones wherever we choose to move. For the water I coloured it in
...en through the example of Nickolas Green, when you donate organs you not only save one life, but often numerous. Your body has so many vital organs and tissues that can be donated and given to many different people. For many of these people, what you donate to them, can be a matter of life or death. If they don?t receive a donation soon enough, their time will run out and they will pass away. By donating organs you are giving of your body, something that will never again by seen after death. You are making the morally correct decision to help others. It seems we are all brought up to help others and give of yourself, and what better way to do so then by donating of your organs.
In an overall attempt to process the lessons she has learned from her 6 now 7 year-old son, Amelia, fights to understand, protect, and raise awareness for those who may not be accepted as “gay”.
If we open our lives and give service to those less fortunate than ourselves, we allow our hearts to receive immeasurable happiness. When we sacrifice our time to help someone in need, whether it is a great or small need, we become a part of their life and can help alleviate heavy burdens. Making time to help people in need creates opportunities for us to develop new and lasting relationships. Serving our fellowmen allows the best in each of us to shine through and we can become examples to our children.
For this assignment I chose to have my husband as my partner to feed him and have him fed me. I chose him because I thought he would be the most appropriate at feeding me correctly. As I started the experiment I was a bit nervous of how will he was going to do in feeding me correctly. He’s a goof ball so I knew he was going to end up covering my face with food. As he continued to feed me I was more confident in him he took his time between spoonful of food and let me chew and swallow. One thing we did was we used body language to communicate. I would point my finger when I wanted him to wait till I finishes chewing and getting ready for the next serving, when I wanted to drink I would sign him a drinking sign so he could pass me the drink. At some points
Whilst we all share one or more common languages it is our background, culture and life experiences that mold us and the way we speak into the person we are today, making each individual unique and differentiating our idiolects which is a persons distinctive use of language.
This lesson is designed to review and reinforce a few important concepts about plants (e.g. Needs, parts, sequence of planting) and to also guide the students through applying a few scientific inquiry (e.g. Making observations, experimentation, discussion, reflection, reporting results etc.). The students have previously planted corn and bean seeds and today’s lesson has provided the students a chance to see the results of the planted corn and bean seeds. Additionally, seeds have been planted under and growing under the following conditions: without water, and without soil. The students see the results of these seeds planted under these conditions for the past week. Two plants in particular have already been grown their growth has been
Overactive let-down (OALD) reflex results in the forceful release of milk from the breast when the infant is suckling. It usually occurs only with the first let-down in the breastfeeding session, though in some cases the woman may have more than one let-down. Another name for this is hyper-milk ejection.
“Charity sees the need, not the cause.” (German Proverb) Many people may question “What is charity?” According to Webster’s dictionary, Charity is defined as the benevolent goodwill toward or love of humanity. Charity to me is significant because it gives you a feeling of inner satisfaction while helping out your community as well. If you have the capability, then you should be able to share it with those less fortunate. The community we live in has a huge influence on us personally – it fosters safety, responsibility and sustainability – so it is important that we take our community seriously for the greater good of humanity and for our own personal benefit.
