I remember one of my BFFEL (best friends for eternal life), I think she was the closest to me because we had so much in common.

Even though she was from Canada and me from Argentina, and we only had one year together, you could swear that we were friends from a really long time. KayLe was the coolest person to be my friend, not only because

I read the book Never Let Me Go which was first published in 2005. It was written by Kazuo Ishiguro who is a Japanese-born British author. The story describes a dystopian world where clones have been created to cure before incurable diseases. The story building is in three acts. The first one tells us about the childhood of our characters(Hailsham), the second one about their teens and early adulthood(cottages) and the last one about their donations. The clones were made from normal people, but
Every single night, whether we realize it or not, we dream. Only a select few of our dreams are meaningful enough for us to remember the next morning. However, when we do recall what we had dreamt, we seem to always be able to describe exactly what happened in great detail. In the poem “You Were You” by Sandra Beasley, the narrator is doing exactly that. As the reader goes through the poem line by line, a more detailed and complete picture of the narrator’s dream is created. We are told that the
Burt asserted that intelligence was an inherited trait and could, therefore, be determined through the process of examinations (Gillard, 2011). The concept of a fixed ‘inherited intelligence’ contrasts starkly with Dweck’s growth mind-set philosophy, whereby

Seventh grade, I would say was a year of friends for me. I had and still to this day have a friend from kindergarten that I considered a best friend. Until a new girl came along, lets call her Patricia
The quotation “We are the cause of our own obstacles,” by Meister Eckhart is very representative of how life is. The quotation means that the problems in one’s life are caused by that person’s actions. I partially belief this statement because I belief that yes, your actions affect you, they also affect other people as well, causing problems for them that they did not bring on themselves. If I decide to put a coin on a railroad track, when the train comes it will derail. Sure I may go to jail for

rocket plane to break the sound barrier was the Bell X-1 flown by Chuck Yeager. In efforts to develop a machine that can fly faster and higher, Burt Rutan used a mother plane to carry a rocket plan 40,000 feet in the air. The Mother plane then drops the rocket plane, leading the rocket plane to fire its motors in order to get into space. With this method Rutan was able to will a $10 million prize in 2004 from being the first civilian plane to go into space and return. This space craft was called SpaceShipOne

This means how the organisation wants itself and the goods and services that it sells to be seen by the people involved in the organisation.
