People say that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. While this may be true in some cases, it certainly isn’t for mine. The day started off like any other weekend would for a Kindergartener. I woke up late in the afternoon, looking forward to a day of lying around, watching cartoons, and coloring some pictures. I was in the middle of watching a random cartoon show with my sister when I heard my mom yelling from upstairs, telling us to get ready. We remained sitting on the couch, eyes glued to the television, completely disregarding her words. After all, it was a weekend. Where could we possibly have to go? Our mother descended down the stairs, an impatient look on her face. “I thought I told you to get ready,” she …show more content…
My mother started chatting with the woman who had opened the door, who turned out to be the host of the party. Spotting me behind my mother, she let out a short laugh, and said, “All the kids are playing upstairs. You can go join them if you want.” I tugged on the hem of my mother’s shirt, silently asking her for permission. She turned around and made a shooing motion with her hands, urging me to go play with the other kids. I ran into the dining room and found my sister, tugging her with me up the stairs. As we neared the top, we could already hear the commotion that everyone was causing, and between squeals of laughter and shrieks of surprise, a feeling of doubt began to creep up inside me. What kind of trouble was I getting myself into? As soon as we reached the living room, the girl who was tumbling in the middle of the room first caught my eye. She looked quite similar to the woman who had opened the door for us, so I assumed that she was her daughter. Her hair was short, maybe only shoulder-length, but it was hard to tell with her constantly doing flips and tumbles on the floor. When she saw that there were now two more people upstairs, she stood up and smiled, blurting out, “Hi! My name is Annie. Who are you?” Her instant cheerfulness intrigued me, but seeing that she was a third grader, I was also a little intimidated. My sister introduced both of us, and I simply nodded my head as she spoke. Annie smiled,
Chris Pontus states that Lateral violence, bullying and workplace harassment often are one and the same. Defining the different aspects of lateral violence Pontus explains that there are three categories which make up lateral violence: harassment, discrimination and bullying. Harassment is a form of unwelcome conduct ranging from unwanted comments to physical violence (Pontus, 2011). Discrimination includes a person being treated inversely and less favorably based on gender, race, sexual orientation or capability. Finally, workplace bullying is categorized as many events of unwarrantable actions of an individual or group geared to a person or group over a long period. To expand, Pontus explains that bullying behaviors are persistent, offensive,
Lauren Rezac- My weekend did not really start off to exciting. Right after my Fast-Pitch game I was picked up by my dad in our 1962 jeep. When we got home we had supper and we all stayed up for a little bit and went to bed. On Saturday I had the house to myself, my dad was helping our neighbors while my mom and sister were in ST.Cloud.So When I was at home I was pretty bored so I did what most bored kids I know would do turn up the music and make a little mess, basically I made slime. When mom and Alexis came back my sister got a call from my dad to go help out so I went with her.I helped by steering the tractor when she got bored and she did the speed and stuff like that. On Sunday we gave mom her gifts then we got ready to trapshooting me
Roseville Area High School, locally referred to as “RAHS”, possesses a schedule similar to that of an immense quantity of public schools throughout the United States. Due to such similarities to the standard American education system, the typical weekly schedule has applied, allowing a period of rest consisting of Saturday and Sunday often taken for granted by modern society. However, despite the separation of days within the majority of the school year having proven optimal, the time in which one is expected to be prepared for awaiting academic endeavors, currently identified as 8:10 AM, has been scientifically revealed as detrimental to health, as pubescent individuals necessitate an immense period of sleep in accomodation to daily assignments. In addition to
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) is an international organization present in 190 countries (Unicef, n.d.). It is an agency focused on the area of maternal and child health. Recently, the organization is providing fresh water and food for mothers and children, education for mothers and girls, and immunization programs for children (Unicef, n.d.). The advantages for this program are the benefits to the education and health of the women and children, but the disadvantages are ability to retrieve funds all the time, and providing care to everyone. They have to have a focused topic, like they do, in order to start to care for the population. There are many issues in the third world countries that go beyond the abilities of one organization,
Something came over her when she the smaller girl reading what she had always thought of as her story. Her shyness began to dissolve without her even knowing. She put down her crayons and closed her coloring book. Before she knew it, she was marching her way up the aisle to talk to the other small girl. From behind the girl looked remarkably like herself. With long flowing brown hair that reached almost to the waist of her pants, and skin that was darker than most others, the similarities were striking. Lauren was not tall by any means, but had always been a bit taller than most, the new girl being one of them.
She swished past her mother and headed toward the ballroom. “Come along, Mother,” she flung the words over her shoulder.
Marisa, my cousin's wife, asked for me to take care of her daughter since I was the oldest. We walked through a long, narrow hallway till we arrived to a white door which was in half, the lower half was locked but the upper half was open. I got closer to find her daughter, Adamaris sitting on the floor playing around with some toys. Adamaris turned as soon as her mom opened the door so I could go in. She tried to wiggle around me to get out, but
It was another monotonous, scorching summer Friday. We had burgers and hot dogs on the grill sizzling and calling our taste buds. Then we had finished supper. Dad had a gig at Hudson Booster Days later that night. We went back outside to shoot some hoops. Jonah, Hannah, Eli, and I played a pickup basketball game and then got bored again. We went in to cool off a little and took a little break.
First impressions are always used in setting the tone when you first meet someone. Without the luxury of knowing the persons background, you initially judge someone by the way that person introduces themselves and how they come across to you. By coming across, I mean the way a person carries themselves. For example, if the person comes across as shy and introverted, you tend to think of that person as timid and somewhat weak. However, if that same person comes across as outgoing, confident (but not to confident) and easy to talk to, you look at that person as someone you can count on and possibly a leader. This type of evaluation (even though we all do it) is for the most part not always the right way to evaluate a person.
“What are you doing just standing there? Get dressed, then pack food and water!” my mom’s stark voice startled me out of my stupor. She sounded panicked and afraid.
She stood up quickly as soon as her mother made eye contact with her, an instant smile appeared on her mother’s face. Sadly, the same could not be said about her. Instead she looked frightened, perhaps, at least that was what she felt. It was
There was a knock on the door and shortly after a girl with shoulder length pink hair entered the room carrying a silver tray. Lucy turned from the window, smiling. The girl was one of the kitchen staff and a good friend of Lucy's.
On Saturday I didn’t really go anywhere. We had our Saturday morning breakfast (biscuits) and then I got started on my chores. I got all of my chores done except for one because if I did it I would be in my mom’s way. Then I played with my brother until it was time to go get groceries. While my mom got groceries my brother and I went with our grandma. We went to the bank drop off and somewhere else. Then we went to pick up my mom from the grocery store. After that I played with my brother until bedtime.
Fpositive impression and negative impression. Positive impressions are known as an impression that results in accumulating dirt underneath the sole of the shoes and then depositing on a clean surface. Negative impressions are known as impressions that are made by clean shoe stepping on a dirty surface, thus removing dust from the surface where the shoe sole made contact (1, 4). In figure 1, you can see the footwear impression on a hard surface and soft surface resulting from positive and negative impressions. The first area of comparison is the design on the outsole that is produced, but there are thousands of outsole designs that are being produced. The details on each sole vary from each other and each design has different sizes. Meaning, different types of shoes are made with a different style of an outsole and each size has its own outsole design, which gives further distinct characteristics to the outsole design even if the shoe is in the same size. The resulting physical differences in the size and shape qualities of the sole is of additional comparative usefulness in connecting or disassociating scene impressions with suspect’s footwear. In case, if a shoe has a plain outsole, then the physical size and shape is taken into account and can still associate the suspect by comparing it with the impression lifted off from the crime scene. In contrast, if a shoe’s outsole has a design, physical size and shape can be taken into account to compare the impression with the
We all have been in a situation where we meet new people for the first time. Either enrolling in a new school, interviewing for a job, or just simply going to a party and meeting new people who happen to be at the party as well; our lives are filled with first encounters and we develop impressions about those people we encounter. To simplify the understanding a first impression is “like a Polaroid picture” (Flora,2004). They are brief snapshots that we use to gain physical knowledge about the new people we make. Along with the pre-determined values and ideas we conceptualize what a person may or may not be like. With a sheer glance at person we instantly have a generalization about a person without even saying a word. With these first
