want to be just like them. For me, that person is my grandfather. I look up to him, and someday I hope that I could have his personality; kind but firm, gentle but strong, fervent but serious. There are at least three reasons why I admire my grandpa more than anyone else I know. To begin, I respect my grandfather because he has been and forever will be there for me when I need him. Back when I was depressed because my aunt was diagnosed with lung cancer, he stayed so strong, which I believe he only
Introduction to Human Services Jeffrey, "A Human Services Professional is someone who is a facilitator for someone who is not able or not yet able to deal with issues in a healthy way. I am taking classes so that I can learn how to best help empower people change their situation by believing in themselves. I believe that people have the answers within themselves, but may need help getting in touch with their spiritual or intuitive self. As human services providers, we hopefully strive to model
how much of our lives will be forgotten? I think it is. We spend so much time immersed in these little moments that will soon float downstream, never to be seen again. I do, at least. I imagine my mind to vaguely resemble the moon, at least in a metaphorical sense. Meteors roar out of the cosmos and smash into me, and the collateral damage wipes out days and months of memories in favor of an impression of a single catastrophic event. Sometimes I feel like I’m all craters where all sorts of memories
Journal Entry One: I have been in a relationship now for over two years with my boyfriend Zac. I can honestly say our communication is what built the solid foundation our relationship stands on. The intimacy in our relationship has been a key component. Working full time, juggling internships, social events, homework, etc. can put a strain on your relationship and communication easily if you let it. However I am glad that dating him showed me it is not in the quantity of communication or being
cooking! Am I not as important as your cooking? All day long you try to cook new food. Yet you don’t know that your food is disgusting!” Nina threw the spatula into her frying pan, “Joshua, I’ve had enough of your nonsense! Every day I stay home, do the house work and cook for you. But you’re always complaining that my food is burnt or it’s flavourless, when it’s not. My family and friends don’t think so and I don’t either. It’s just you! Do you really hate me that much? You know that I love cooking;
Humans are More Alike than Unlike "I looked up the road I was going and back the way I had came since I was not satisfied I stepped off the road and created a new path"(Maya Angelou) Humans are more alike than unlike. Once we in America grasp this concept only than will we began to create a new path for the world we live. Many times the word diversity rings in my ear like an annoying telephone that I do not want to answer. Sometimes I feel as we are caught up in a diversity scandal: attending
have failed to provide me a deep root, I simply can not use emotion to actually build up my resilience, however, playing on my psychological root can support both psychological and emotional roots. Today, I can say that I am an optimistic person. I trained my brain to actually pursue a goal whatever difficulty it encounters, and today it works. My cultural root are based on the idea that a man is only successful outside the household. Having this idea in mind, I have to always be excellent and successful
give you a better view of "My Town," I will perch him atop the highest point of the some-kind-of-wonderful city of Hillside: The Giza pyramid-shaped pile of garbage majestically sitting in the town dump. The movie theater is to the west; a neon-pink fluorescent sign frames this week's shows: Th' Bach, Scram 3, and y' of Th' Bholdr. Teenage employees relinquish all responsibility for the missing "E"s. A makeshift lemonade stand is set up a block away. Sometimes, its determined entrepreneurs, the set
to help to tell the story of Gung Ho. When I first picked up the book to read it I really had no idea what to expect to learn from the book. The points that were made in this book were very simple and common sense principles. I say that these principles are simple, but many companies do not think of these little things when running a large business. They try to go “by the book” and get too caught up in sticking to their rules and regulations. Sometimes you just have to use a little common sense when
female procreative power, resulting in consequential struggles for the child involved in the situation. Research conducted regarding modern society’s motherless children stresses the importance of a motherly (or even parental) relationship throughout the developmental years of a child.

A famous line from The Wizard Of Oz is “there is no place like home”, but what if you don’t have a home? According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, “In 2009, an estimated 656,129 people experienced homelessness in the United States”. Since then the number has only grown. That isn’t the issue at hand though; the issue is that there are children who are homeless. In the 2010-2011 school year, 939,903 children were classified as homeless. That was a 38% increase from the year before (APA

Slavery was one of the most disturbing acts to ever happen to African Americans. It was considered inhumane to the abolitionists in the North. Slave owners and the people of the South would use the Bible to justify their despicable actions. It all began when slaves were brought to the North American colony of Jamestown, Virginia to help with the production of crops such as tobacco. Slaves endured many hardships such as being raped, beaten, and overworked by their slave masters. They were hardly considered
History behind the appropriation of “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” “Swing Low, Sweet chariot,” is an American Negro Spiritual originally sung by black slaves during their time working of the fields. Although performers in the 20th century acknowledged the historic significance of this piece, it has also been used as an instrument of cultural appropriation by white Americans and Europeans. The meaning of this song radiates in the words and exposes its purpose to those who study the music of slaves and
truly forbidding in a child taking up her elders in that manner" (pg. 3). One would think that the life at Gateshead would have subdued Jane's fiery temper, but it only rooted it deeper within her spirit. Had Jane been treated kindly she might have grown up a sweet-tempered girl, always giving in to the demands of society and holding back from developing her hungry mind. Jane also stands up to the bully, John Reed: "Wicked and cruel boy!...You are like a murderer, you are like a slave driver&emdash;You
its Victorian contemporaries. Helping to accomplish this task is her style of narration, being unusually structured in the concentric circles of Lockwood and Nelly Dean. Lockwood descends on the Yorkshire moors, like the reader unaware of the turbulence that the ‘beautiful country’ conceals. I have read that Bronte’s original purpose of the book was to show Lockwood the meaning of love and her choice of name, ‘Lockwood’, implies a depth that is not on display nor easy to withdraw. (From this respect
affect me today now that I see things differently? Back in the summer of 2015 I thought I had changed because I had temporally adjusted to abandonment because I felt I was so independent. But I realized that I didn’t really answer my questions, and I just went around avoiding memories, and I felt I was always right because I was noticing a huge change in myself. Now that I am in my second year of college, I want to connect thoughts and feelings to answer to what I thought I had answered a long time
