“A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal” -Steve Maraboli. In a Gathering of Days, Cathrine had to choose whether or not she was going to show compassion to a slave.

TRIO Day, an opportunity for students to get a better grasp of college preparation and experience. TRIO, programs that had helped millions of students earn college degrees. As a sophomore, with a successful completion of TRIO day, would I be able to join those millions?

Overall, I think this activity was pretty difficult for me because I would forget some days to write down the food I consumed for the day so sometimes I would have to ask my family or friends what I had eaten for the day. The reason I believe that happened was because some days are busy for me because of my daily routine. Basically my day starts by me getting ready for school, I take a shower and dressed, put my stuff in my backpack. Then I go to the kitchen drink a green juice my mom makes for me in the morning and I head out to my first bus location. I sometimes take different routes depending on the time the bus gets there, so at times I end up taking three buses or two buses to get to class. Then as I arrive I have my morning classes and I work at CSUN in the afternoon to the night. I work in the Sierra center in the marketplace. I am a cook for the Marketplace, however I work in all stations so sometimes I am making burritos, other times at pasta and sometimes making sandwiches.So I am all over the place. Because of that I end up really tired and end up taking a uber home. As soon as I get home I fall asleep so my days are always compacted.

The Battle of Normandy. Operation Overlord. The Longest Day. D-Day. The date June 6th, 1944 is acknowledged by many different names, by many different people, but it all comes down to one thing. That the biggest amphibious invasion of beaches, Codenamed Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword, were very crucial in ending World War II. Approximately 156,000 allied soldiers landed all along these beaches and fought and died to liberate France. Sadly 4,413 allies died doing this. But to most this was worth it and everybody thanks the men for their sacrifice. Thanks to them, we didn’t have to see what could have happened if we didn’t proceed with the plan. Without the invasion we have no way of knowing how the war could have played out. It may have

Surprisingly, drug abuse information related specifically to Oxnard is very limited. However, the relevant data for the state exposes several serious drug related issues that warrant scrutiny. According to the Justice Policy Institute (2008), California recorded over 40,000 emergency room visits that were related to drug overdoses. An even more alarming stat comes from the Centers for Disease Control. In 2010, the organization reported that the state led the nation in drug related deaths with an average of 11 per day. In order to assure residents of Oxnard don't become a bigger part of these problems, awareness of where to find detox and rehab treatment facilities should be a priority.

The audience I will be addressing is parents, caregivers and school educators about the dangers of prescription drugs and how we can better educate teenagers and young adults on the dangers of abusing them. There are many ways that we can teach and educate our teenagers and young adults, but it’s important that families, schools and communities are involved. The rate of prescription drug overdose among teenagers and young adults have sky rocketed over the past several years. This has become a growing epidemic and if we don’t step in and do something, this problem will only get worse. No parent or caregiver ever wants to lose a child and it can be especial harder knowing that you could have helped prevent it. Some people

The 22nd day of May, 2005, it was a sunny day, few clouds in the sky. It also happened to be my mom's birthday. I remember it as if it were yesterday as surprising as that may seem. It was a beautiful spring day, birds chirping and kids running around. I was playing baseball outside of my house with my friend Jake. Mom inside on the phone, completely unaware of what was going to happen next. We were playing baseball, I walked over to Jake to tell him to use a different bat and just as I walked over, he swung the bat and hit me just above the eye. My head flopped back and the tears rolled down my face. Blood oozed down my cheek as I lost perception of reality. I don’t think I was fully aware of how severe the situation was until I was in the

There was nothing left anymore. The once vivacious city laid in shambles. Rows of concrete, gravel streets, and deserted souls engrossed the city. After the tremors and separation, the Others thought the ocean had swallowed us. Little did they know, we were thriving on our own. Then, they uncovered us. In order to stay hidden, we resorted to doing cyclic jobs in dark blocks of dirt walls. We could not longer escape the four perimeters of our lives: those four walls.

I think it is ok for people to cut down trees becasue, if they did not cut down trees we would not have the things we need for everday. Like writing paper or toilet paper. Most of the house are made out of wood the floors kitchen cabinets furnicher.

Day of the dead is the best way to honor the dead. Or at least I think is what’s better than having a giant cookout and dressing up to rember your loved ones and having a good time and getting together that’s why I think it’s really cool how they honor to dead. To be blasphemous. The pre-Hispanic people were considered barbaric and pagan. So in the Spaniards attempts to convert them to Catholicism the ritual was attempted to be vanished. However they failed and the Day of the Dead rituals lived on.

Today, it was a kind of an insane day for me. First thing in the morning, there was the ambulance and I thought one of my client’s was inside the ambulance. I approached the ambulance and there was in fact one of my client’s sitting in the ambulance. I asked the emergency crew what was going on. The client yell, It is not of your business. This is my life do not worry about me. I do not have much contact with this client; because technically speaking the client does not want to do any business with me. I never understood the reason because I spoke to her one time. I tried to ask again, and the client just started to get louder and louder on everyone for the same reason. I just walked away wondering what went wrong, how did this happen? I do

Once there was a boy who was an only child. One day his father and mother got very sick. When they passed away, the boy inherited the land, house, and jewelry because he did not have a sister. All he ate was beer and bread. He would always rub himself with scented oil and do his makeup. One day it was the Day of Bes. He wore a beautiful kilt. After 20 years he died and was mummified and laid in a humongous tomb filled with all of his

Reaping Day. I volunteer to take my sister's place as tribute. I say goodbye to my family and friends and board a train to the Capitol. Haymitch(my mentor) passed out drunk and Peeta(male tribute for district 12) cleans him up and puts him to bed.

Whenever I am having a bad day or even week, I remember that bad situations are not long lasting, they are only temporary. I grew up in a Catholic household and I attended church on a regular basis with my family. My parents have always told me that whenever something bad happens, it is because God is testing us. In this way, he makes us strong physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I remember this every time I’m feeling like I can’t go on with the stresses of life inside and outside of school. The religion that I grew up with, and currently follow, has allowed me to look at the brighter side of every gloomy situation and to not ask, “Why does this happen to me, why now?”, instead I think of how this can help me in future situations and
