The Background During the summer before my junior year in high school I broke my neck while on vacation in Outer Banks, NC. I spent the next three months in a cervical halo and three more months after that in a standard C-collar neck brace. My first month back at school was spent in the halo which was interesting because not many people had ever seen one of these braces and did not know the full extent of the hardware. It is a large plastic vest with sheep wool lining the inside; making attending a school with predominantly outdoor hallways in the August heat a very sweaty endeavor. From the vest shot four bars, two in front and two in back, that held a horseshoe shaped bar (the halo) containing 4 screws. At the end of each screw was a fine point that anchored into my skull and stabilized my head/neck. I could not take the halo off and had to bathe, sleep, eat and everything else while wearing the device. Obviously wearing the halo limited my choices of fashion and I resorted to wearing a tank top that I would slip on starting with my feet because it was the most breathable option. It also looked weird if I wore any other shirt. The Incident Normally this would …show more content…
Not surprisingly; most people thought I could remove the device or that the screws were just suction cups holding my head in place. My principal was one of these people. This miscommunication directly affected her positive face. During the conversation my mother was very accommodating and said if she required it, that I would dress according to dress code though it was difficult to dress that way. When my mom explained the situation to her she responded similar to when she was with me. She suppressed the conflict issues by ignoring that she didn’t know what exactly was going on so she could continue the conflict without the embarrassment of being
I grew up, as a child, normally like everyone else. In the fifth grade there was this girl in my class who, may I say, looked like The Hunchback of Notre Dame. At least that’s how I would have described it when I was that age. I used to feel really sorry for her because people bullied her for looking the way she did. I didn’t know the condition she had until two years later when I was diagnosed with the same thing. I was diagnosed with scoliosis—a sideways curvature of the spine—it was only mild, so there was nothing to be concerned about. As my body grew, the curves in my back increased to the point where the only option to slow their progress was for me to wear a back brace. The brace that I wore was composed of hard plastic that covered
My dog is a Yorkie he is brown and golden his name is halo we did not name him halo because of the game we named him is 2009 so we did no even no that game was a thing we found his name on a website and we liked that name so that is why he name is halo.
Every year there is a new "it" food. This year everyone that blogs about food or healthy living has talked about Halo Top. I am actively trying to lose weight, but I also have a major sweet tooth. Having heard lots of great things about Halo Top, I decided to give it a try.

A party on Haloween night is better with your close friends; for me, Halloween is the best day in whole year because I really enjoy the thematic of terror and those things and is so cool to be someone who you are not during all day; my friends and I made the funniest party ever, we danced all our favorite songs, we improvising dance steps but it made our party funnier , then, we ate a lot of pizza and pasta and many snacks, we drunk some sprite with Chamoy that Yesy made, the funny thing is that the Chamoy was in syringes and it was great, also we sang all night; But the best part was the costumes, I dressed as a Hippie, Yesy as mad hatter, Liz as a unicorn, Lydia as a Zombie and Lulu as a Catrina all costumes were different and it was so amazing
There has been a debatable question since trampoline parks have opened. This question is why should you go to Sky High instead of just buying your own trampoline. Well in this post we are going to give you a few reasons.
In a society full of teenagers playing action video games we should try to focus on how to harness the potential of video games instead of trying to abolish them because people seem to think that there are many negative side effects of video games like being violent. We should instead try to look at the positives of video games, like how help people interact with others online when playing multiplayer action games, building socialization skills. There are also benefits while playing alone like increased reaction times in order to stay alive in single player action games helps improve decision making skills. Playing action video games like Halo 4 is helpful to society because it helps teenagers build skills needed in a workplace such as cognition
In Greek mythology, Prometheus had a reputation as being a clever trickster and he famously gave the human race the gift of fire and the skill of metalwork, action for which he was punished by Zeus, who ensured every day that an eagle ate the liver of the Titan as he was helplessly chained to a rock. Prometheus, whose name means “Forethought” , was able to see into the future. He warned his brother Epimetheus not to marry Pandora; who’s dowry would eventually unleash evil onto the world. And when Prometheus forewarned Zeus that Thetis son Achilles was destined to be his rival, Zeus released him from bondage in gratitude, ordering Heracles to shoot the eagle and break the god’s binding chains.
In Greek mythology, Prometheus was a Titan who brought the “the gift of fire and the skill of metalwork” to man. Because he achieved this by stealing from Zeus, the king of the gods, he was punished. He was chained to a stake, where, every night, and eagle was sent to gnaw on his regenerative liver. Other myths suggest that, in a world where man already had fire, he tricked Zeus into eating fat and bones rather than quality meat. Angered, Zeus took fire away from man, so they would be forced to eat all of their meat raw. Prometheus retaliated by returning the flames to man.
Prometheus was a greek titan, son of Lapetus (a Titan) and Clymene (an Oceanid). In the war of Titanomachy, the war between Titans and Olympian gods, Prometheus sided with Zeus and as a result, after the war Prometheus didnt get sent to Tartarus (the underworld) with all the rest of the Titans. Prometheus was given the task to mold mankind out of clay. His attempts to better the lives of his creation brought him to a conflict with Zeus. Prometheus tricked the gods out of the best portion of the sacrificial feast, acquiring the meat for the feasting of man. Then, when Zeus withheld fire, he stole it from heaven and delivered it to mortal kind hidden inside a fennel-stalk. As punishment for these rebellious acts, Zeus ordered the creation of
There are several things that can be learned about Greek culture through the story of Prometheus. The myth of Prometheus is about the theft of fire. Some of the things that can be seen through this myth are the value of fire and why animal offerings were done.
The Titan who molded humans from clay. The Titan who stole from the highest of the highs just to help the inferior race with no benefit of his own. The Titan whose name means ‘forethought’. That Titan goes by the name Prometheus. Because of Prometheus, the human race had been formed by his hands, and given fire when fire was forbidden, and given the best cuts of the cattle when said cuts were supposed to go to the gods. He is the hero of the human race, but with his heroic feats came hefty prices to pay.
In the myth of Prometheus, adapted from Wonder Stories by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey, a giant’s decision to do what is right leads to an unexpected end. Prometheus and his brother, Epimetheus, were helping the creatures of Earth and Prometheus took a handful of the earth and saw little seeds in it which gave him an idea. But after he helped his creation in surviving, it brought destruction to the Earth. Prometheus’s choice to protect the humans had a negative consequence.
A long time ago before I was created there lived two brothers,” who were not like other men, nor yet like those mighty ones who lived upon the mountain top.” One of the brothers name was prometheus, or Forethought, he had the power to see the future. Prometheus was always preparing for everything that would happen in the day coming up, next week, next year, or a hundred years from now. The other brother Epimetheus, or Afterthought, was just like Prometheus, but the total opposite. Instead of Epimetheus thinking of the future all he thought about was the past. The brothers worked for the great god Jupiter. Jupiter was known as the mightiest god of all, he sits on his throne at the very top of Mount. Olympus watching over mankind below.
The story of Prometheus is a myth that shows the theme that all actions come with consequences.
