As many of you know, for the past seven months I have enjoyed my time furthuring my education at Augustana University with my roomate Hayely Brands. Although we love and cherish our time together, there's always a certain time of the day when I find myself needing a getaway -- the night hours. Even though I knew Hayley fairly well months before move in day since we worked together and joined a recreationial basketball team together, there was one distict trait about her that everybody failed to mention to me. It was the first night of college together when I then discovered Hayley's nasal passageway medical conditon. Was it my roomate snoring or a freight train roaming the freshman girl hallway? This was a question that I often asked myslef …show more content…
I had bought multiple fans in attempt to mask the roaring loud noise that came from my roomates nasal passageways, and I had also invested in a comfortable pair of headphones (which happened to work for a while, until I had got the IPhone 7 for my birthday,) but nothing seemed to work. Not only did the snoring affect my sleep schedule and my sanity, but it also affected Hayley in many different ways as well. With such small nasal passageways, she often ended up with a stuffy nose during the winter season which caused her to lose hours of studying as she always felt sick. In her attempt to fix this problem, she tried many different over-the-counter medicines and even resorted to inserting a small portion of a dryer sheet into her nostril, which ended up getting stuck. All of these disadvantages to her medical conditons have left us with no options but to resort to nasal passageway surgery. Since Hayley's insurance company will not cover this surgery, we ask you -- the friendly and generous individuals of our community -- to help this poor, poor woman to get the medical attention that she

That evening, as we lowered the lights, we thought we heard a quiet, muted humming of an old sailor’s song as the hallway floor creaked under what sounded like light footsteps.

I used strategy two by selecting details that support my intentions and omitting details that didn’t. In the first descriptions I omit some of the details that seem more negative like the muddy ground, the steep rock tails and the annoyances from other people on the trail. I try to see my experience from a negative person’s perspective, not just a negative person but, possibly just a person that is unfamiliar with their surrounding and might be slightly fearful or apprehensive to new areas. I used these detail in the next description to convey it as a more negative experience. I used strategy three and use words that frame my subject the way I want by, using words in my first description like: beautiful, interesting, all-encompassing to give
Walking into this class this year I was so small minded in the art of writing. Thinking that I already knew everything about it, I soon realized that creative writing wasn’t a joke. To me writing was putting pencil to a paper and making the words go to together, but Mr. Sullivan showed us that there is much more to writing than just a piece of wood and a piece of paper. He showed us that there are five steps to a perfect story.
I had a very strong interest in what the future held for women in science, because I wanted women to be able to make multiple accomplishments like men did in the science category. Throughout the time of being alive I made a speech about how I wanted women to make a great impact with being in science for the future. I can only image what the future is like now for women, I suspect that women have many more jobs in multiple categories than before. However I do know that some of the friends I had were also making an impact on the world already, changing it and showing how it can be different. An tremendous amount of citizens probably would have disagreed with all the things that women wanted to have changed or do. Honestly I do hope that women
Alright, so now we are ready to try again! I started a new job, (less travel and more money) and we now have our fertility issues under control. I had a laproscopic surgery which discovered that I have an advanced stage of endometriosis. I also had an under active thyroid and low levels of progesterone. A week before my husband falls off a roof, my eggs are released and we made our "deposit". We are so excited and optimistic. And then I got the call. Hubby fell off a restaurant roof, about 12 ft, and was being transported to the hospital via ambulance. All I knew at this point was that he couldn't move his legs. The ride to the hospital was surreal. I was calm but overwhelmingly worried. He had broken most of the bones from his legs down,
On average, Americans spend over 10 hours of their day on a digital device. Many young people today believe that having their phones and computers taken away would be the end of the world. Before digital devices consumed our days, generations found alternative ways to entertain themselves, whether it be playing outside with friends or conversing with family over a Sunday dinner.
I spent my sixteenth birthday paralyzed, wondering if I would have to crawl to the bathroom.
Being one of five children, my parents are not currently capable of aiding in paying for college; leading me to working a full time job of 40+ hours a week in order to support myself. Unfortunately, during the midst of my last semester at UNCG I became quite ill, and cut down on my hours at work which left me struggling to pay my rent and without food most days. One night while I was visiting a friend someone stole my wallet to include my student id, an item needed for a prescription pickup at the student health center. I was unable to replace the card, seeing as I could barley pay my rent, and even though I was able to present documents stating that I attended the school, I was denied my medication, which made me even more ill. Over the course
This last year has been a roller coaster, in a year I’ve learned more about myself then I have all my life. I’ve grown up and learned that nothing is just handed to you everything takes at least a little effort and it’s all about how much you're willing to give. Looking back at the beginning of this year I remember looking at my schedule for the first time and thinking about everything I had to accomplish and honestly sadly I can’t say I did my best in everything. I went through a really rough patch when i was diagnosed with severe depression and it set me way far back and i didn’t exactly give it my all in getting back up there in school.
In life we are faced with setbacks, challenges, successes, and even failures. Although in the moment these setbacks make you wanna give up, I have learned everything happens for a reason. It can be hard to think that things happen for a reason but take the quote, “People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime”. I have had good people in my life leave, some being my closest friends. Time can pull people apart and people can change, but they once served a purpose in my life. They taught me things that I wouldn't know and experiences I will never forget. I have learned these friendships had to vanish only for the best. I think when people leave and things are wrong, it teaches me to let go and appreciate when things are right.
When I was younger, I firmly believe that if someone was smiling they were happy. At this time I was around the age six. I held this belief because I was always around people who seemed happy. There was always laughter, smiles, and hugs. T.V. shows that I watch were filled with smiling faces and laughing groups of people joking around with each other. The people in my life were always so positive around me. But as I got older I grew a better understanding of what was going on.
It was the day before my birthday and I was really hoping to get a really awesome present. I told all my friends and families about the present and they all have been asking me what it is. I told them it was a really expensive drone! They all asked me how much the drone was and I told them it was one-hundred dollars and fifty-seven cents. They all told me they did not have enough money so I knew I would have to save up myself.
