source of both exasperation and mirth to the competitors. There are many different aspects of the competition, and the most important of these are the robot and the program. The robot is the main focus of our program for reasons of manpower and time constraints. The robot is subdivided out into many groups and assignments. The base team had to build a lightweight design that could support the arm, attach the wheels, and be able to push around the balls. The arm team had to design an arm that
Interview questions: 1. What was I like as a baby? Can you give me some descriptions? My mom explained that I was a very extreme baby. She explained that if I was happy everyone knew I was happy if I was sad everyone knew I was sad. I was a very expressive baby. If I felt uncomfortable I would cry and scream until someone would come. If I felt happy I would smile and make silly face. It was always clear what type of mood I was in. My mom said that I was the type of baby that never wanted to be alone
stops talking and a song begins to play. I hear the song See You Again by Wiz Khalifa being played over the speakers and I lost it. All of the memories that I had with Cody came flooding back all at once. All the memories of cattle shows, to spending time talking in barns, to him taking my sister under his wing when I couldn’t. I was never going to see his cheesy smirk again. I was never going to be able to call him and ask him to come clip one of my calves. I lost a dear friend, a brother, and I was
in my power to better myself for the baby and for our little family. We took things day by day from that point on. We did not really talk about it all that much for the longest time, we kept things to ourselves. He told me every single day he loved me and our little Peanut. (We called our baby Peanut because for the longest time that is what the baby looked like and we were unsure of the gender) Days seemed to fly by and before I knew it, it was 2015 and I was ending my junior year with a giant belly
unconsciously enjoy the company of an intimate friendship, but he couldn’t let it last for long so he pushed her away. For the longest time he didn’t realize that he missed that company until he was informed of her suicide. As he walked around the city listening for her voice to come and comfort him in his moment of shame and sorrow he finally understood for the first time in his life that he didn’t want to be alone. Eveline has always felt lonely ever since her mother’s death but especially now when
my stiff body as I stretched out my muscles. “Do you know who I am?” the mighty thing asked. “No, sir,” I replied... ... middle of paper ... ...ashed before my head, I was ashamed of my doings. This continued for what seemed like forever. The time seemed to stop and the vortex where I was trapped slowed dramatically. I tried to succumb to the self pity that was so strong inside of me, but I didn't. I chose to do those things and now I will be punished for them. I fell hard into a room filled
It took me some time to think of stuff and things that have influenced my life. I thought over my life for a while. So to get things started I 'm going to talk about the most influential man I ever got the privilege to meet, My Grandpa. Ed Hansen My grandpa was the coolest guy ever. He taught me everything while I was growing up. My grandpa worked at blue bird as a bus mechanic. He loved his job there. By the time I was born he was already retired from there and had a part time job at a pumpkin

I end up getting for the semester, then I should have a 3.63 GPA on the semester. I tried my best to make sure that I fully understood all the material in each of my classes and to stay on top of all my homework and class work. There were several times I would stay after class to talk to the professor about what was going on so I wouldn’t get behind. I’ve learned from past classes that if you get behind early, it is nearly impossible to catch back up. I would like to have gotten an A in the two classes
Lessons Learned at Summer Camp Gazing up at the clouds, I thought of all the great times I had been a part of. The whole week had been full of excitement. Every day was a payoff of all of the work put into this experience. "Did it have to end so quickly?" I wondered to myself. "Just think of next year", I said to comfort my disbelief, "Its going to be ten times the fun. I'll make sure of that." After what seemed like years of waiting, the day of camp finally arrived. I hastily packed
Walker: Well, it’s true! I am beyond happy that you are now living in Los Angeles with me, especially since we are no longer an ocean apart. I know we missed out on a lot of the activities fathers and daughters do together, but now we have all the time in the world to spend together! Meadow Walker: (Smiles.) I definitely agree! I was thinking that we could drive to Venice later, and you could teach me how to surf? Paul Walker: (Nods in agreement.) That sounds awesome! We can take a long drive and
were going well so far. Because I lived there for ten years, the longest time that I ever spent living in one place, I had made really good friends and was not looking forward to any significant changes although my mom had told me a long time ago, we might move to USA to settle with our uncle and grandma. My mom also told me that the other reason we move is for a better education and life there but I was not listening at that time. I thought she was just joking around because my brother and I have
The Ant of the Self Most seventh graders know the principle that oil and water don’t mix. No matter how much the solution is shaken or stirred, the water will settle to the bottom and the oil will rise above to the surface. These attributes describing water and oil directly describe the relationship between Spurgeon and Ray, the two main characters in ZZ Packer’s “The Ant of the Self.” Spurgeon, the “water” and intelligent son of Ray Bivens Jr., finds himself carrying the burden of supporting his
money we don 't have and pay it off later if we have the money. I 've had a job since I was 15 and the longest time without one has been 3 months. One way to have financial freedom is to save a lot of your money. This has been a goal in the works for a while. I 've been saving 60% of my paycheck and i would like to up it to 70% for the fact that I live at home and have no bills. this is the time I should save money for the future. I 've been spending money on things i don 't really need and i 'm
say for this moment in time, I’m satisfied with the person I am and the path I’m taking. Growing up as a little girl my life was ever changing. Although I don’t have many recollections of my childhood, I do remember wanting to be a bit of everything. Early on I wanted to be singer. I dreamed of being as cool and famous as Britney Spears. Not to mention, I was a tad narcissistic and thought I had the best voice. In reality I sounded like nails on a chalkboard. After some time had passed and I was no

Saving Private Ryan Vs. The Longest Day Both of these films, Saving Private Ryan (1999) and the Longest Day (1962), are representations of the D-day landings on Omaha beach in France. The war film genre was chosen due to its popularity, historical interest and the excitement and adventure involved in battle. The longest day could have easily been an English propaganda film, as it gave a very un-realistic view on the D-day landings, glorifying the British, and making the Nazis look incapable
Comparing Saving Private Ryan and The Longest Day The purpose of this essay is to compare which of the two films (Saving Private Ryan and The Longest Day) is the most emotionally effecting. I am also trying to compare how each of the two films represent war and soldiers to the audience. The camera work in the two films is very different. The Longest Day nearly always uses the "God" view where the camera is taking an aerial shot of the action. The "God" view means that because you are above
A Comparison of Film Techniques Used to Depict the Omaha Landing “Saving Private Ryan” & “The Longest Day” In this assignment I will be comparing two scenes of the landings on the Omaha Beach during the Second World War. The first film is “The Longest Day” and the second film is “Saving Private Ryan”. The Longest Day was shot in 1962 compared with the more recent filming of Saving Private Ryan which was shot in 1998. I will be focussing on the camera angles, special effects, sound effects
The Longest Day The D-Day landing must have been one of the most brutal battles between the Americans and the Germans during the World War 2. Both "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Longest Day" were produced as films to represent the brutality of what the D-Day was like. However, although both films were similar in the perspective of the factual storyline, their standards of filming and production were different due to the time they were filmed. Darryl F. Zannuk filmed "The Longest day"
