All I Ever Wanted, By Greg Alan Isakov

Being the second youngest in my family out of five children, you would think that reading would be easy for me growing up. But learning how to read was a challenge. It was something that I never thought I would be able to do without a lot of help from my father.

Throughout middle and high school, I have always taken accelerated courses in math, reading, science, etc. Although honors courses are challenging, they help me develop as a person. They taught me how to manage my time, work independently and with others, and ask for help. Before high school, the curriculum was not academically challenging, so I never asked teachers for help. When high school rolled around and I had to juggle four to five honors classes a semester, it was difficult to ask for help. Nevertheless, for the benefit of my education, I overcame this challenge. Asking for help is necessary for growth and success. This was particularly prevalent when I took AP Calculus BC. I visited my calculus teacher for help. We got to know each other in a way that couldn't be achieved in class. He even nominated me for student of the term. I learned that when given additional resources, such as teachers

Writing a paper on the writing process is pretty hard. The writing process is different from one person to another. You come across questions like, 'What exactly is the writing process?'; and 'Must you follow one persons writing process if yours is different?'; This is where I came across the answer to my questions, write however you wish to write. If one person likes free write first and another person likes to write a draft first, let them do how they please.

The Laramie Project is a play written by Moises Kaufman and the members of Tectonic Theater Project. The play is based on the interviews of the citizens of Laramie about what’s happening in Laramie and their responses to the murder of Matthew. In addition to the various themes suggested by the play, the author wanted to present the varying perspectives toward homosexuality in the Laramie community at the time of Matthew’s death. The author also wanted to explore how these perspectives may have changed as the result of Matthew’s death. Even though the citizens of Laramie persisted that hate is not a value they practice, they still showed contrasting and puzzled views

Mean Girls exemplifies many problems with today’s culture. In today’s culture, women are seen as objects. Many movies are geared towards getting the male gaze. In order to get the male gaze, we have to objectify women. In Mean Girls, the girls, in the movie, have to dress the part of trying to get the male’s eyes.

Louie Zamperini was born on January 26, 1917. Louie soon became the neighborhood trouble maker. He quickly began learning how to steal food and money along with manipulating panks for whosoever should walk into his trap. Reaching his high school years, Louie’s older brother, Pete, found a way to keep Louie out of trouble. Pete, seeing Louie running away from his scams, realized Louie’s talent for running. Louie was soon signed up for his high school track team. Louie excelled, and he soon began winning every race he entered. In 1934, Zamperini set the national high school record for a mile run, and was named the “Torrance Tornado.”

In the book, We Are Here, by Cat Thao Nguyen, she writes about the life of her family, the oppressive persecution they all suffered at the hands of the Communist government along with its new regime. This book portrays members of Nguyen’s family, their plight, during and after the Vietnam War, including, the struggle, during their escape, from Vietnam, via Cambodia, Thailand, then, Australia. In addition, it will establish that the Australian social structures of the day had the ability to dehumanise Vietnamese immigrants during the years of 1973 to 1980. The essay will also look at Geoffrey Blainey’s idea that the Indo-Chinese immigration was a middle-class idea, imposed, upon a vulnerable Anglo-Australian working class, which created

The other day I was talking on the subject of Ebonics. I feel Ebonics should be a language. I mean black adolescents that are seen as stupid and non-educated mostly use it. The talk compelled me to do some extensive studying on the subject.

In this heavily pretreated patient population, pemetrexed, a 2nd generation antifolate agent produced an objective response of 26% (4/15) in patients with thymoma. 2 complete responses and 2 partial responses were documented, whereas there was only one partial response in patients with thymic carcinoma. The response rate of 9% in patients with thymic carcinoma suggests that pemetrexed is not active in this more aggressive phenotype. This is the first study to prospectively demonstrate the clinical activity of pemetrexed in thymic malignancies and solidifies the role of pemetrexed in the second line, and beyond in advanced thymoma. Prior to this, a Phase I trial of pemetrexed conducted in Japan demonstrated a partial response in one patient

Outback- I went to outback the other day and notice how everyone seem impatient. There's a lot of people. Servers are even sweating. Everyone seems to be looking around. Some tables are not even speaking to each other but they are on their phone. There are couples, and family's mostly. Today there's no kids , but older adults. Everyone has a different style , but most of the older man are wearing collar shirts.

Writing any sort of paper takes thought, time, and work. My writing process is like going on a strenuous hike. When going on a strenuous hike one must plan ahead and research where they are going. In writing one must do research and get all the knowledge that they can on the subject. Once the hike is all planned out and ready to go it is time to start on the hike, you aren’t necessarily focused on details at the time because you haven't made it to your final destination yet.. This is like starting on the rough draft, writing down and getting all your ideas down without much regard to grammar but just trying to get all your thoughts onto the paper. Then after you have been walking for a while you probably will need a break to hydrate and regain energy for the rest of the hike. Often times when writing papers you take breaks between drafts and even in the middle because writing can become monotonous. However, after taking a break you have probably

Graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering, at this point in my life, is critical. It’s the goal I’ve set for myself and it’s the goal I’m going to achieve. Yes, my parents wanting me to study Engineering is a big part of why I chose the major, but it also has a lot to do with my interests. I’ve been in a specialized program since I entered the Performing and Visual Arts Magnet program (PVA) in sixth grade as a Vocal major. Many of my peers dropped out of the course, deeming it too rigorous, but I stuck with it because that was my goal. Then, when I started high school, I became a Theatre major and stuck through another four years of long days, many classes, and nighttime rehearsals all because it was merely what I expected of myself. Now that I’m in college and studying Engineering, nothing has changed. I am still just as dedicated to my studies as I have always been, but now I’m able to study something that has always intrigued me. Engineering piqued my interest and my love for math and science led me to the objective I’ve set for myself. I have my end goal and I will achieve a Bachelor of Science in Engineering.

Season 5 begins on a Bridget Jones note, with Mindy Kaling in a cute muddalle over her attractions to both Chris Messina and garret Dillahunt. The latter is the more practiced suitor: “ Heat up a woman with a romantic gesture, then back up,” he says. “Works for soup too.” But this show is about a woman too whimsical (and original) to stick to any recipe for love or life. That’s what makes it so fluky and
