Aha Moments Research Paper

The short story"Aha Moment" by Julia Alvarez demonstrates that the point is not to pay back kindness but to pass it on. The story expresses the idea that simple acts of kindness can make a great impact on people both mentally and physically. It can turn frightening and tense situations into assurance and aplomb. In paragraph 8, it is stated," no one screamed,no one panicked. I could hear small pockets of soothing conversation everywhere." By holding the hands and by chatting about everyday life, the passengers emboldened each other and created an optimistic atmosphere. The author points out,"someone was comforting me and kept asking me,'Are you okay?" According to Julia if someone does something good and beneficial for you, you should pass

August 15, 2013, is the date that I will remember forever. Whenever I see that date, I always have flashbacks of my childhood memories, such as whining to the teachers about having too much homework, or have to take the classes that I did not get to pick during my middle school years. August 15,2013 made me realized that one day I will have to go through the the face of an adult sooner or later. I will have to face the hardships that my parents went through for our family. I have stepped into the world of the reality.

Soon, I discovered a method to avoid the potential of feeling insubstantial, if only for a few more hours or days. Thus, allow me to introduce you to an old friend, procrastination. My way of thinking soon became, “If I’m not going to get an A, then why even put the effort in?” and consequently, innumerable assignments were put off until five in the morning where it would be due in two hours or it would never reach my teacher’s hands at all. I’m sure most teachers believed the cause to be laziness or a lack of ambition, however I strongly believe that if they’d known the constant stress, self-doubt, and exhaustion that I

The bravest moment I have ever had is when I quit putting up with people's crap and took a stand. The person at the time happen to be Davis Paul. Davis was always trying to stir problems in P.E. with me. He would push me and say hateful things everyday and one day enough was enough. He tool Axe and sprayed it in my eyes. I pushed him, he turned around to fight. Then he tried to pick me up and we both fell to the ground. When he missed I picked him up and body slammed him into the locker room floor, busting his head on concrete. He got chocked out in the moment I was brave and will no longer take anything off

When I first heard about "impact 360" about a year ago, I will admit that I was fairly opposed to the entire idea of a "Gap Year". From what I had seen, it seemed like an idea someone had come up with, in order to delay the start of the responsibilities of college and life. I ignored the many attempts from my mother and her friend Renee Hernandez, (who is involved with the program), to get me to just look into what it was all about. I wrongly perceived that every gap year program was essentially the same. And from the program's I had looked at they all seemed to be about taking a year off of life's responsibilities, and relaxing with other people your age. That didn't interest me in the slightest, I wanted to graduate high school, and go and conquer college and eventually the world.

The interaction that I encountered happens ten years ago. When I moved to the United Stated, everything was still new to me. I had to adjust into many different things in the American's society in order to be at a social standard norm level here. In addition, my English was acceptable to get the message delivery to the other person. I clearly remembered one day as I was working out in a strange neighborhood that far away from my house, I started to get lost at a moment. I began to panic and could not figure out a way out to get to the main street. Therefore, my goal at that time was to get approach to one of the neighbor's house asking for a direction to get home. I want to interact with a complete stranger person and see how they would respond to help me. I chose this interaction because it gives chance to practice small talk with unacquainted person whenever there is an unexpected situation arises as well as to overcome the language barrier.

Saturday, today was a good day. I had one plan today, that was to study and do homework and work on my big assignment due Wednesday. Clearly based on my chart today that didn’t happen. I didn’t listen to any music that day or do any reading. It became a Chicago Fire day, I had made it to season two! I didn't work on Saturday, this was why I had time to watch Tv all day. Again my old-school self watched Tv using my DVD player. I wish I would have studied today, it would have made things better for me on Wednesday. I am a person who strictly sticks to my patterns. If I graded my productivity on my intake of media I would definitely be considered a professional. While I’m on my need to binge Chicago Fire I won’t be watching any other movies

The behavior I chose to be depicted by a number eleven is effective use of time and resources because I know I work at a slow pace which disrupts my use of time and resources. For example, I spend the majority of my time doing school work and I am not performing how I want and the level I know I can be at. I spend mostly every second of the day thinking or making sure that my habits are consistent so that I can produce quality work so that I can pass my courses because I do not want to have to repeat courses or lose the opportunity I have been given. Be that as it may, I am loving the process because I can see myself getting stronger all around.

I knew I didn’t want to spend my life after college behind a desk staring at a computer screen; I wanted to be as active as possible, and help others be active as well.

It was Friedrich Nietzschehas who said, “What doesn’t kill you makes, you stronger”. I like to call these moments in a person’s life, “defining moments”. Additionally, I like most people, have had a few of these “defining moments”; probably more than one person should. Growing up, I had a hard time accepting one of my “won’t kill you-make you stronger” moments. It was a moment of betrayal and deceit, inflicted upon by a person I trusted fully and completely, with my life. My mother.

Many people influenced and events my reading and writing development throughout my childhood from my mother, my elementary librarian, and Sesame Street, to getting my first pair of glasses. We all have defining moments in our lives where we can look back and say, “That moment changed my life.” This is the story of the defining moment that changed the way I read and write, and I learned it from a whale!

Prior to the school year starting my wife shared with me an article she read regarding five characteristics of successful business people. One area she shared stuck with me as something I have not incorporated enough in my adult life. We all make excuses for how busy we are and how we do not have time in our life to add something else even if it may increase our productivity in a variety of arenas. When she talked to me about journaling as a means to reflect on my day I half-heartedly paid attention. Anyone who is married knows that it is hard to ignore advice from your spouse specifically if it is something you can do just before you go to sleep. Eventually I gave and the five to ten minutes I spending reflecting on my interactions of the day has been a life changer.
