As I walk towards the ocean with the sand warm beneath my feet, the waves lap at my ankles, seeming as if they want to pull me out to sea. The sun rises over the horizon, reflecting off the waves and shimmering like gold. The salt air smells tangy as it stings my nose with the smell I crave while I am away from the ocean. The Outer Banks in North Carolina has been my favorite place to go from my first memories. I look forward to going there every summer because there at the ocean I feel at home. It is a place where I can forget every stress in my life and be totally at peace. It is a place where my family can spend time together, not like at home where we all have activities and places to be. The Outer Banks is not a beach where the ocean is forgotten; there is no partying and no boardwalks, nothing but nature to fill your days there. The beach is not crowded to the point where it is hard to even walk to the beach ,and looking for shells is not even an option. This beach is a very peaceful and surreal place. The noises of people do not overwhelm you at this beach; all you can hear are the sea gulls and the waves.
My family, including aunts, uncles and cousins and some extended family, has been going to the Outer Banks for quite a few years now. It is a place where we can all be together without the chaos of our everyday lives. This is always where we have gone for vacation; we have taken other trips but always manage to make it there, too. While we are all at the beach it gives us time to spend with each other, unlike home where everyone is too busy with their own lives. We can catch up on stories from each other’s lives and not be caught up in the bustle of everyday life. Every evening we eat dinner together and then take a wa...

...n. When a sting ray swims past you or a jelly fish is there in the water beside you, again there is a realization of just how much is going on under the water that is not seen. The waves can make you feel so insignificant when you get tumbled head over heels in the water and you have no control over yourself. Only after experiencing this can the powerfulness of the waves be realized.
There are many reasons the ocean is my favorite place to be. These range from the atmosphere and people at the ocean to the scenery experienced while there. It is a time for me to be free from all the hassles in my life and to "get away from it all," even if it is only for a week. The ocean should be enjoyed for what it is. Loud noise and all the hustle and bustle of boardwalks should not exploit it. At the ocean I can feel at home and at peace because it is my favorite place to be.
I have been to Florida a billion times, but there are only two places that I normally visit. Sanibel Island and Destin. Traveling to Sanibel Island is almost like a tradition for my family because every year we try to go down there. My grandparents first went to Sanibel with my whole family (cousins and all) about 15 years ago and ever since then, it has been our family’s main “vacation spot”. I have gone to Sanibel almost every year, but last year I also went to Destin. Now the main reason we decided to go there as well is because we wanted to travel somewhere nearby the panhandle of Florida. The water and beaches are also very contrasting in comparison to Sanibel. Sanibel’s beaches even had heaps of sea shells going out into the water. The sand is also more dense than that of Destin. Even Sanibel’s water is darker and more cloudy, so it was crazy to see Destin’s water so clear! The beach (which is called Emerald Cove, where I stayed at) had sand that was so white and soft it

An important concept that Graff acknowledges is to “not simply expose a student’s ' non-academic interests, but to get them to see those interests through an academic view” (266-267). What this means, is that even though using such non-academic interests to prove points of a discussion, can arise a certain connection between some student’s. The author points out that the development of academic skills relies on the ability of the students to write on their own self-interest in a reflective and analytical way. The most important concept that the author discusses is the fact that when a person shows more “street smarts” they necessary have the intellectual skills to become more assertive in the real world. The reason behind such assertion is that street smarts have knowledge that they can actually apply to real world scenarios and when they have acquired the logical and analytical skills that come with intellectualism, they become more aware of seeing reality and how to adapt to it. Nevertheless, mere intellectuals may possess the most abundant knowledge about the most varied of things but they may not have the ability to apply such knowledge in real world settings, because without the ability to communicate with the reality, they cannot integrate themselves with other
“The voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of solitude; to lose itself in mazes of inward contemplation. The voice of the sea speaks to the soul. The touch of the sea is sensuous, enfolding the body in its soft, close embrace.”
The Atlantic City Boardwalk is surrounded by many different accommodations and amazing sights. My family and I stayed at the Taj Mahal, which is one of the many wonderful places to stay near the boardwalk. One amazing sight is the ocean that is to the left of the boardwalk and with the soft sand glistening, the ocean is as beautiful as a dozen roses. As I breathed in fresh air, the smell of salty sea tingled my nose. The best part about the boardwalk to me, is the ocean. The way it makes me feel just by putting my toes in is indescribable.
Long distance relationships (also known as LDR’s) are one of the toughest types of relationships to maintain. Many variables can affect this type of relationship
The voice of the sea is seductive, never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of solitude; to lose itself in mazes of inward contemplation. The voice of the sea speaks to the soul. The touch of the sea is sensuous, enfolding the body in its soft, close embrace (Chopin 25).
Leadership is one important trait that characterizes a project manager. As a leader, he must possess the proper knowledge, skills and abilities (KSA) needed to lead a project team toward project success. This is where his leadership competency is being measured. In this regard, organizations base their selection process on the project manager’s competencies not only on leadership but also on his behavior and other characteristics. In the United States, recruiters value more on experience and education (p.38).
This essay will firstly discuss about the skills an effective IT project manager should have. Following this it will explain why these skills are useful to IT project managers. Subsequently it will identify the challenges unique to project management in the field of IT. Then it will present the analysis on whether leadership skills (as opposed to management skills) are really necessary for successful IT project management. On one
Everyone has encountered someone in their life being trapped in a long distance relationship no matter how bad of a reputation they have. Have you ever wondered what science says about long distance relationships (LDR’s) or if they ever work? With reference to a series of articles and recent studies, understanding what is behind LDR’s and why society loathes them, will become very evident as you read further. LDR’s are a great way to get to know one another without all the drama a ‘normal’ relationship brings. Unfortunately, issues involving being faithful will come up, but there are ways to avoid it to bring excitement and fulfillment back into your life. Detailed explanations below will include:
Have you ever visited a place so beautiful and serene that you couldn’t imagine a more stunning place? For me, it is the shimmering and flowing waters of the ocean. The way that the deep blue waters meet the gritty beige sand leaves me in such awe. The water is like a soft blanket, comforting and inviting. The unique wildlife and vegetation that exists on the beach is something I’ve never seen anywhere else. There is no place more beautiful and thrilling than the beach.
The ocean can serve man purposes things for many different people; as a school, a home, a park...
In most relationships, people meet through school, work, or they could even live by each other, but regardless, their significant other is usually somebody they are used to seeing on a daily basis. However, every once in a while some couples meet over the internet, at a church camp, or maybe even through a few friends and the distance doesn’t keep their growing passion for each other apart. Distance can come in many forms depending on the couple’s situation. For example, Jeremy and Kami are just your average high school couple even though they don’t attend the same school. They actually live 2 hours away from each other and maybe only get to meet up once a month. Now, on the other hand, we have John
Throughout someone’s life they will go to many places with their family, friends, another relatives. I have been on a few vacations that have made a lasting impact on my life. But one of the most memorable vacations I have experienced was with my cousins. I went to goa beach. Most of you probably don’t know about that beach but it is a very famous one in south India. I enjoyed myself to the fullest. The beach environment was enlightening. I would not have wanted to take this trip with anyone other than my cousins. We had a great time on the ocean sands and swimming in the ocean everyday made this vacation unforgettable.
With planes, trains, internet, and mobile devices, it seems easy to maintain a long distance relationship (Merolla 2012). Some scholars claim that geographic distance poses a challenge for relationship maintenance, while others argue that a long distance romantic relationship is not problematic (Maguire & Kinney 2010; Merolla 2012). Continuing, stress between the couple, as well as, individually is said to arise when a couple is in a long distance relationship due to social, economic, and personal difficulties (Maguire 2007). Also, there is a distinct pattern of problems interpersonally, with self-concept, and with sociability; this is seen throughout intensive studies of long distance relationships and their complications (Pistole, Roberts, & Mosko
