Resembling many of the other cultures that we have been learning about and discussing during the course of the semester, the Cherokee have stories explaining the formation of the universe, have a creator, a trickster, and a collection of various other interesting myths. The mythology of a culture results in oneness within the community and a sense of homogeneity that is difficult to achieve by any other means. The agriculture of the Cherokee requires cooperation between the members of the community and rejects being selfish and only looking out for the wellbeing of oneself or one family member.

“Winning is fun... Sure. But winning is not the point. Wanting to win is the point. Not giving up is the point. Never letting up is the point. Never being satisfied with what you've done is the point” - Pat Summitt. Pat Summitt was a girls basketball coach for the University of Tennessee, in Knoxville for 38 years. She had 1,098 victories, eight national championships, and had a 39-0 run in 2008. Despite her winning record and her winning team, she was forced to resign from coaching because she was diagnosed with early on dementia at age 59.

On Halloween 2003 Bethany Hamilton was surfing on the coast Kauai, Hawaii. She was attacked moments later by a tiger shark. Bethany lost her arm in the attack; she stayed calmed and didn’t freak out. Bethany told others that she had been attacked and her friend’s dad rushed to her to tie off the bleeding stump with his reef guards and got her to shore. Her brother Byron called the ambulance. When the ambulance arrived she was rushed to the hospital. Even though Bethany had lost over half of her body’s blood, the surgery was a success. The doctor

From taking the course in Japan and living with a host family, I had learned a new language that can benefit me to open more career opportunities. If I didn’t go to Japan I might never learn Japanese. I will add in my personal challenge I had faced when I am making the decision to apply for study abroad and the challenge I encounter after I got accepted. As well as some of the challenge I face while living in Japan. The idea of stepping out of comfort zone was not easy, especially spending life in a different country that shares different culture and language. I want to join the Year in Japan program coordinator together to promote the Country of Japan, and encourage the student to step out of their comfort zone and try to consider a country to study abroad where English is not the primary

In conclusion, I was given the opportunity to room with girls from Peru, Hong Kong and other places around the country. I’ve gained lifelong friendships with people in Africa, France, and New Zealand. I was also able to teach as well as learn from different cultures. Nevertheless, this experience has opened the door to a horizon of possibilities, from this experience I learned that I would like to major in travel and tourism with a minor in art and experience cultures first hand by exploring my horizon while traveling and learning about different

Have you ever bought anything online? I have. It’s kind of hard to know what to expect when you buy something online. Some things that might go through your mind while shopping might be, Is it a good deal? What if I am being ripped off? Maybe since it’s so cheap, it might be bad quality? I bought a Kahuna Ukulele and I was surprised on how cheap it was. A ukulele is kinda like a smaller version of a guitar. Ukuleles originated from Hawaii and that’s why people called it the, “Hawaiian instrument.” Kahuna Ukulele is a ukulele company that sells various types ukuleles. My friend has a ukulele and her’s was in really good condition. I found a company called, Kahuna Ukuleles and at first, I didn’t know if it was a good company to get a ukulele or a bad company. I got the ukulele and I saw that they also sell ukuleles with cool prints and designs on them. The ukulele then came and when it came to my doorstep, I thought it was a joke because some letters on the side of the box were misspelled (which got me worried). When I opened the box, I saw a wonderful, beautiful instrument that looked just like it’s picture online. Kahuna Ukuleles are amazing and wonderful and that is because of their quality, sound and color.

In July 2014, I took the amazing opportunity to study abroad at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto. While living on campus, there were many occasions when I would share with local students while exchanging language tips and discussed our respective cultures. The most memorable experiences I learned was how to speak Kansai-ben and, in return, teaching common New York City such as "fuhgeddaboutit". This journey ignited my motivation to complete my degree to prepare for my next exchange in

Hello and Thank you for coming to my bar mitzvah it means a lot that you are all here. I will be talking about my torah portion Ki Teitzei which is about the commandments that Moses was giving at the end of his life. The commandments covered many different topics from cheating to inheritance. One thing that stood out to me in my torah portion was the commandment about dealing with difficult children. In the torah it says that if a family has a wayward and defiant son who is bad even after being disciplined. The parents together must take their son to the town’s elders, and say “This son of ours is disloyal and defiant; he does not heed us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” Then if all of this happens the council will stone the son to death as to sweep the evil out of Israel. Finding this

First of all, who is Hakaru Hashimoto? What made him significant that a disease was named after him? Hashimoto was born on May 5th of 1881 in a small village name Midau, Nishi-tsuge, Japan. Between 1908 and 1912 he first took interest in thyroid gland and made new pathological characteristics. He was one of the first medical graduates from Kyusyu Imperial University. He examined tissue samples on four different women and identified Lymphocyctic Thyroiditis. These goiters got Hashimoto’s special attention because unlike the colloid goiter, these goiters had a lymphoid cells which means these women had hypothyroidism. At the age of 35 he had to leave his academic career and return to his birth place and help his parents due to financial struggle. At that time, practice medicine was highly respected and word got around quickly, he had more patients he could handle. At January 9, 1934 before receiving his recognition for discovering Goitrous Lymphocyctic Thyroiditis or also known as Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.

In order to understand Geoffrey Keyte’s theory about the lost continent of Atlantis, it is important to understand the Atlanteans. According to Keyte, the Atlanteans were of extraterrestrial origin and came to Earth over fifty thousand years ago. Keyte believed the Atlanteans were over eight to twelve feet tall with blonde hair and blue eyes. These people were very fair-skinned and had life-spans of over eight hundred years. These seven to twelve foot humaniods were thought to be a myth until a burial site with eight to twelve foot skeletons was excavated. The Spanish conquistadors left diaries of wild, blonde-haired, blue eyed, tall men running around in the Andes during the conquest of the Incas (Keyte).

Academics have always been extremely important to me. I value knowledge because it has the power to transform people’s outlooks on life, leading them to make wiser decisions in order to fully invest in their future aspirations and passions. However, knowledge becomes stagnant if it is unused. Therefore, by the end of the Plus3 trip, I want to be able to say I applied some of which I learned in school to what I will partake in during site visits, Q&A sessions, and interactions with company employees. I plan to pick out specific global interdependencies I observed or talked of while visiting these different companies. In order to do so, I will make it a priority to fully engage in what the program has to offer, always participating by asking questions and discussing business strategies, not shying away from asking the hard questions. I have the intent to learn what makes a business successful or not, which can be done by interacting with the employees while constantly questioning those who own the corporation. If I fully apply myself before the trip by learning the most I can about a company prior to visiting it, I’ll be able to engage even more while actually being there.
