It really all started a few years ago. When I was about 9 years old my aunt, a police officer, explained to me an amazing program that allows people from the ages 14 to 20 get involved with law enforcement and search and rescue with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. Of course at the time I was not even close to being eligible to join so I waited. I waited so long that the excitement wore off a bit; that was until I could finally join. Eventually it was time for me to sign up which was a long and tedious process involving background checks and paperwork getting notarized. After about 40 pages of paperwork, we had a math test, interview, and physical fitness testing. The first fitness test was no problem, we did as many pushups as we …show more content…
The thing that we technically did wrong was walking on of the dirt instead of the sidewalk. The entire time I was at SARTA they were picking out all the small little details of things that we weren't doing right and burning us for it in order to teach us discipline. Some exercises that we had to do were push ups, squats, flutter kicks, running, and planks. Usually the exercises would have been easy for most of us, but since we were under so much stress it made it a lot more challenging to do things that would usually be feasible for us. the reason that they did this was to put us under pressure and teach us how to stay calm in a stressful situation. We then got time to go to our tents to set up our things and change into our uniforms. All of our uniforms were white t-shirts that had our last names printed on them, jeans, and hiking boots. Between everything we did we went into formation. Of course, it being our first day, we didn't set up our cots right. That resulted and being burned again. During lunch, in order to get our food we had to recite the definition and guiding principle of one of the 7 core values verbatim. The core values we learned were integrity, courage, selflessness, humility, compassion, respect and honor. When we went through the line, an officer would give us one of
The arguments I choose to assess for truth and validity will be three statements taken from the Application's list 12.2 (a -y) at the end of Ch. 12, “The Art of Thinking” publication. I will start with the statement (j) the premise that "power must be evil because it can corrupt people." Checking the argument for any hidden premises and ensuring it is stated fully and in a clear concise way is the first step. This argument seems to pass the first hurdle, however after checking for errors affecting truth, the argument has flaws. Beginning with, the part of the argument that says power corrupts people is not true
“Attention, soldiers of the Continental army, the patriots of our colonies!” George Washington shouted, drawing attention to himself as he stood. The whispers along with mumbles stopped, every person bringing their attention to the general as he stood from top to bottom as well as proud. “I will explain quickly what the plan of action is before I separate you. One through five-thousand, you will be going with Lafayette, blocking their escape from Yorktown, waiting in the Chesapeake Bay! Alexander, I believe you had something to say to our people of the colonies?”
Successful Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island pedagogy requires efficient context knowledge as well as the knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island students learning needs. The topics covered will include Indigenous placement and displacement, the impact of socio-economic status on Indigenous students and the health and wellness of Indigenous students with the focus being on whole school and classroom practices, with examples of resources, to support teaching Indigenous students.
In football in a fairly sized city in the state of Minnesota attending the Tigers high school. He had a decent build being 6’0 and weighing just at 180. Joe Walker was your typical “average Joe” He played as a safety for JV (Junior Varsity) for his sophomore and junior years, but never made the next step into being a varsity safety only getting minimal reps towards the end of games. He knew if he wanted to play, he had to work as hard as he could after his junior year ended. He was on a mission to prove everybody wrong that believed he wasn’t going to work hard enough to reach what he wanted, which was being just a starting varsity safety.
Tutankhamun (Tutankhamen) was born in Egypt in 1341 B.C. In 1323 B.C. Tutankhamun died of an unknown death; he was only 17 or 18 years old. Before he died he got to live a short time as a ruler. After his body was exhumed, there have been signs that Tutankhamus could have been murdered, or died from an infection from an injury. “Historians generally agree that he was the twelfth ruler of the 18th Egyptian Dynasty, who assumed the throne when he was eight or nine years old. Before puberty he was married to his half-sister (or, possibly, niece) Ankhesenamen, daughter of Queen Nefertiti. He reigned until his death in his late teens. Some studies of his remains suggest that he was
I agree with Reid, revamping America’s health care system would be far too complicated. I liked how Reid connected the ideas of a health care reform to many of the presidents of the past including Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Ironically enough, Clinton’s reform didn’t even make it to congress and he was also impeached during his presidency. Is that a coincidence? I do support Obama’s ideas toward building on to the model of health care that we already have, instead of constructing a new one. While Obama’s thoughts were compiled into the Obama Care bill, Reid made it clear that people in America are still uninsured. To me, Obama started what could have been a really good option for health care within the U.S., however, that is now
That night, Wes found himself back at the Skulk and Lurk. He didn't know what compelled him to go, it could have been his general boredom, stress from his tireless research, Walter's persistence to do something outside of his room, or maybe he had a pathetic hope that he could convince some of the more open-minded goths to believe him about Danny. Whatever it was that brought him there, it was a strikingly out-of-character coercion to act on that kind of whim.
Prior to this enrolling in WRTG 107, my writing skills were not awful, but they were definitely not college level. After competing this specific assignment, I’m undeniably better at drafting revising and editing as a whole. On top of this, I'm most certainly a more analytical writer, and I’m glad that this assignment is part of the First Year Writing program.
There is something uniquely Texan about the phrase. From the very first email I received from A&M I knew there was something special about the university. It brought back fond memories of when I lived in Texas and attended a summer Sea Camp at A&M’s campus in Galveston. At Sea Camp, I was encouraged to discover new things and be creative, and during my visit to A&M for the graduate preview, it became apparent this spirit of discovery remains and A&M would be a great fit for me pursing a Ph.D.
While switching to a thick, Italian accent, he pinches his fingertips together on one hand, shaking them with every syllable, making me giggle. “What do you mean? Eh? I'm Italian through and through.” The mischievous grin I've grown to adore slinks along his lips as his eyes sparkle.
It is now Thursday, the game was only two days ago, yet people are still talking about it. Throughout the halls you hear how great varsity played and how great Sophia was. This is mainly why she knows she is great. If it weren’t for people always venerating her, she would only think that she was alright. She sits down in her first class, science. The teacher has written on the board that he will give back the tests they took yesterday. She knows she didn’t get the grade she should’ve, all because she didn’t go home to study the night before and she also forgot about the test until five minutes before it was handed out. She did think she would still get a good grade, since science was her best subject.
On September 25 of 2017, the autonomous Kurdistan region in Northern Iraq held a referendum on independence. Not surprisingly the turnout was huge and the votes overwhelmingly supported separation from the rest of Iraq and creation of the Kurdish nation state. Leading up to the referendum vote there was a tremendous preassure on the president of Iraqi Kudristan, Masoud Barzani, not to go through with it.
I plan to pursue a degree in Computer Engineering with an emphasis in technology engineering. I have been interested in this field from the time I work fixing my brothers bikes and mine and, most recently days helping my father after school. Just working with my hands is something that gets my attention and enjoy many new things. This is why I believe that computer engineering is the right career for my future. Ever since I was in seventh grade electronics has been one of my favorite subjects. I knew I wanted to be an engineer when I completed my science fair project I have always worked on electrical currents, the flow of current from its positive charge to its negative charge. What helped me understand this
