My Father Is Not The Issue

In recent years, ancient burial grounds have been frequently disturbed due to increasing surveillance by anthropologists and constructed on by state-of-the-art technology and are more critically protected than ever before. Understanding the importance of burial grounds gives an insight on the rich history of ancient Hawaii. They have influenced the burials performed, ancestors and their modern inhabitants, and how they have impacted modern Hawaii. Burial methods will range from the tallest peaks on land to burying those in the ocean. Ancestors influence these methods depending on their rank and actions, having their modern descendants have a choice to inherit these arrangements and protect their ancestors.

Money is the main goal some people shoot for because they consider it as a fundamental key for success; in fact many believe that having a lot of money means success. For this type of person to achieve his goal, it starts with going

The American Dream has been talked about worldwide in some way or another. The myth is always the same. If you come to America, you can get a higher education, earn a better income, have a bigger house, have that “better life”. The dream always revolves around the same things which are education and money. This dream has been slowly dying since it is becoming less and less likely for it to become true.

From Romania, Mircea Eliade, studied religion from the profane to the sacred. His theory of hierophanies is broken into two axioms to be better understood. The first axiom is that religion is its own thing and is not caused by something else. The second axiom relates to describing religion. Unlike other people Eliade believes that “times and places may differ, he would say, but concepts are often the same”(231). Pals’ uses Euclid’s math as an example that Euclid’s math is the same as it was before it's just used in a different time period. From an excerpt of Eliade’s The Sacred and the Profane we are given the difference between the profane and the sacred; the profane is the regular day to day activities however the sacred are out of the ordinary

I feel like nowadays especially in our economy it is hard to achieve anything. It’s even hard to achieve an education. Everything is about money.”

My parents always taught me to never give up on my dreams. It might not be easy, but if you work hard you can be whatever you want to be, but always strive to succeed. Always strive to achieve your dreams, no matter what obstacles come along the way to overcome them and succeed. Everyone is given the opportunity to make their dreams come true. No matter where you come from if you keep working towards your goal you will get there one way or another. “ When we love, we always strive to become better than we

I think that you must have the right drive and focus to achieve what you want. Success is not about money, but rather success in the eyes of the beholder. It does not matter what you view as successful though, because you will not be successful without the necessary drive and persistence. Many many people give up on their dreams because they do not possess they key characteristics, and they oftentimes do not truly believe that they are living a successful life. Money is also a key factor, and it certainly helps most people with their dreams, but I think that if you set realistic goals for yourself, you can move up in your social/economic class, and lead a successful life for yourself and your

How old were you when you decided what you wanted to be when grew up and what helped you make that decision? Well for me, it was easy. When I was in the seventh grade my brother was put into the hospital three different times for Pneumonia which is an infection that inflames the air sacs and can cause the lungs to fill with fluid. This can be extremely dangerous especially if it occurs repetitively in a five year old, which was how old my brother was at the time. We spent a total of eighteen days in the hospital as my brother was receiving treatment and recovering. It was then that I decided I wanted to become a registered nurse and work in the medical field.

From the time I began school I knew that I wanted to become a nurse, however, it was not fully encouraged because my family had very low income and in Guyana, if you

The American Dream is a concept that, despite all odds, has survived many years and does not appear to be any less strived for than it was in the early 1900’s. Though the end result is still very desirable, this goal does not prove to be as achievable as it had been in the past. The American Dream may even seem unreachable to youth and young adults in today’s society as the success rate of “achieving” this concept continues to fall drastically. The largest obstacle blocking the American Dream today proves to be money through the means of increased cost of college education, inadequate increases in wages, and the inability to seize opportunities due to pursuing slight financial stability.

An individual’s life is full of personal and professional controversies, I believe there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to the question of fulfillment of one’s desires. However, answering it accurately is critical in making intelligent career choices and finding your success in life. Today, many people, including myself, immigrate to the United States of America in search of the American Dream; freedom, equality, and the opportunity to achieve their personal goals in life. However, the American dream has changed drastically, and is no longer associated only with happiness but rather refers to the dollar sign directly. Many argue that the more money you make, the happier you will be, however, on the other hand some people still stick with the famous expression “more money more problems”. From a reality perspective the statement itself is flawed and those following this chant are sure in for a big surprise. They say you should learn to be realistic

First, we need resources to keep track with our goals: the American Dream. Why do we need the resources in realizing this American Dream? Attaining your dream of a stable and a high-paying job does not magically happen by itself. You need money to finish your education, either your goal is to finish bachelors, masters or doctorate degrees. Whether you get it

"Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort". These are the inspirational words of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Academic success has not only formed my aspirations, it has encouraged me to grow and discover who I am as an individual. Growing up as a child, I needed a lot of support from my friends and family. My father left my sister and me when I was two years old. However, my mother has taken the absolute best care of us since. Not only did she struggle financially, she also had two kids to nurture and care for. She was sixteen years old when I was born and seventeen when my sister was born. Only finishing high school, my mother has been working since then to provide all she can for us. She has always tried her hardest to put us through school and she achieved this goal despite how other people discouraged her. One of my main reasons why I strive for academic excellence is my mother. I have always wanted to achieve more than her and show that I can be the best I can because she deserves it. I want to show her that all her time and effort raising us didn 't go to waste. She is one of the main factors that drives me to do what I do today. Around 4th grade, I started to pursue playing the clarinet. I stuck with it even though it was a very challenging skill to acquire. My music ability today has allowed me to excel in multiple ways. It has increased my focus, aided with my math and reading scores, and even taught me not to give up when things got

The National Institute of Justice defines forensic science as, “the application of science, such as physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, and engineering to matters of law,” (2014). The emphasis here is the use of technology and science by law enforcement officers and agencies and is accepted and recognized by the criminal justice system. It is seen as scientific technology or Criminalistics, (Dempsey & Forst, 2013). While technology plays a role in this, it is most recognized by the use of science by law enforcement and allowing scientific information to be admissible in the court of law. For this reason, forensic science is seen as a method to resolve legal matters or “a scientific analysis for the purpose of judicial resolution,” (Collins, 2007, p. 2). Weather this is using chemistry, such as a drug testing kit, to determine if a substance is an illegal drug, forensic science has become fundamental to policing. Science and technology can be used and applied in many ways. This can be observed through the various branches of forensic science. These include: forensic biology/DNA, controlled substances, forensic toxicology, forensic anthropology, forensic pathology and medicolegal death investigation, impression and pattern evidence, and trace evidence, (NIJ, 2014). In these ways, law enforcement agencies are able to use science to investigate crimes and practice law enforcement. Understanding the various ways that forensic science is applied in policing, one can

As you get older you learn many things in your life that maybe good or bad. No matter what it is you either learn from it or realize something from it. My epiphany moment would be when I realized how important my education is and how it can help me have a better life. My parents always encouraged education on my siblings and me. They always explain to us that when they were younger they wished their parents pushed them, and never let them quit school. My father always says “I want you to finish your education, so go get those degrees and make us all proud! I want you to have a better life than I did, and not to worry about money or anything. You can do it!” Knowing that my parents didn’t graduate high school and my brother didn’t go to college made me rethink my life. I often question myself “Do I really want to struggle my whole life and barely get by? Or do I want to finish my education, be somewhat successful and help support my family?” I always think about this when I feel like giving up on everything.
