"Actions speak louder than words," exists as one of the truest phrases of all time. Many consider reactions to specific situations, but true character manifests when acts without any thought of recognition for their response. For example, after Christmas, my family and I visited a restaurant to enjoy a meal together. Our waitress possessed an unquestionable type of kindness and hospitality that one only wishes to receive every time they venture out for a meal. Sadly, a table within earshot range griped about this particular waitress multiple times due to forgotten take out containers and napkins. They knew not that the genuine waitress sustained an inadequate amount of sleep the night before as a result of a six month old daughter at home. Additionally, the customers did not account for the numerous other tables making an innumerable amount of requests of her, and that …show more content…
My mother looked slightly stunned, but I did not think much of it other than that our sweet waitress probably made less than minimum wage and deserved more than what I could give her. I took the bill over to her, and at first she looked around, unsure if I spoke directly to her or someone else. She could not believe that a table consisting only of four people gave her a twenty dollar tip. Her blinding smile showed complete and genuine gratitude. Although she worked all evening long, she possibly drove home to her growing family with only the twenty dollar bill she received from me because of miniscule mistakes. As I reflected on various experiences that exhibited character for the National Honor Society application, I realized how simple, instinctive reactions display pure character. Especially in the case of the sincerely hospitable waitress, the simplest doing warmed her heart, as well as my own, without as much as a thought to do

Angelica Meis Mrs. Bradford English 9, 6 20 May 2024 Grace Year Survival is key. Even if it means working with someone, one may want to die. Dystopian writer, Kim Ligget, addresses this need for durability in The Grace Year. Thirty-three girls, ten veiled, twelve months, and only one cabin to see who makes it out alive. Tierney later finds out that love and hatred are two very different things, but they cause similar situations: in the end, death.
Having a genuine character means to always stand for the truth, to have compassion and respect for others, and to commit fully to the position you have accepted. In my family, we are called to live out a life that includes kindness, honesty, humility, and perseverance. These characteristics guide me through my day-to-day
Throughout the conversation, Susan did not inform me that the home was still in First Look and not open to investors at this time. Susan did not highlight any features of the home, nor did she talk about the neighborhood or the surrounding area. When asked, Susan paused to reference the property file and stated, "In looking at the pictures it appears that it needs interior paint, carpet, appliances, and a few windows, which the previous seller must have taken." She stated, "I don't know why they have to remove things from the homes." I asked, "Do you have offers?" She paused to check the property file and answered, "No offers." I asked, "Is the property behind the home farmland?" She paused to reference the property file and replied, "It appears
Everyone on earth is defined by their core beliefs. It’s what makes us all individuals, what separates us from the others. It wasn’t until I was talking with my friend Sean in 8th grade that I started to realize that one of my core beliefs, something I was taught growing up, may not be my own belief.
Over my years of school, one big influence on me has always been sports. Ever since a young age, I have always enjoyed playing and watching sports. In my four years in high school, I have fell in love with the sport of lacrosse.
I woke up and took one bite out of my pop tart but that one bite was all I could eat. My legs were shaking, and my heart was pounding. My dad told me, “It is a true honor to even make it this far so go out there and have some fun.” Once I heard this statement, I knew I was ready to go. I arrived at school and boarded the bus. The car ride was an hour and fifteen minutes of hearing the squeaking of the wheel on the bus. My teammates were getting their heads ready for the big game.
The Scarlet Letter shows Nathaniel Hawthorne’s way of using various signs to evolve the characters and help them atone for their sins and rid their fear of consequences. “A sign has tremendous power to communicate a message that transcends the sign itself.” (Gray 19) The Scarlet Letter involves an adulterous scandal between the two main characters, and how they live with the embarrassment and shame that comes with the sin. Hawthorne’s use of different signs such as the “A” and the scaffold help accompany the reader in understanding each character. Through Hawthorne’s writing, the reader gains a deeper meaning of the story, and that is achieved through signs.

I’m fairly new to the adult romance genre, and after reading a few that I adored I got a blogger friend of mine to give me some recommendations. On her list of recommendations for romances that are more rom-com was Melissa Foster’s The Real Thing. This was my first Melissa Foster book and I absolutely loved it! I’m so glad I decided to pick up this one as one of my first picks. he Real Thing takes place in a small town called Sugar Lake and features Zane and Willow who have a somewhat complicated history. I loved that they technically started out as friends and kept in touch all those years before getting together as it just made their chemistry and relationship all the more steamier and swoonier. And while the fake relationship trope was used
Have you ever been so desperate for something that you modify your motive in its entirety? Throughout my life I’ve found myself placed in this frightening situation multiple times; the most confusing of which would be what I’ve endured this year. People in their 20s have it rough. We’re old enough to feel like we’re supposed to know what we’re doing, yet young enough to roll in the tide aimlessly and clueless and it still be acceptable. Then there’s those of us who believe we’ve got it all figured out only to be proven tremendously wrong. I have learned, however, that being tremendously wrong can lead you right where you need to be.

1. The 2nd case study made me reflect on my first head coaching job in football. I was hired by a school in south Texas with the help of a friend I coached with in Oklahoma. He had moved back to his hometown and started teaching and coaching at his high school. He contacted me about the opening and two months later I was hired. I hired him to be one of my assistants and even made sure that he was paid well as a thank you. I was very disappointed with the way he coached that year. I had already make arrangements to move him to a non-coaching position for the next season. I realize I never spoke with him about my expectations or made him aware of how I felt during the season. I identity with Dr. Skinner is some regards. I was caught up in the other aspects of teaching, coaching, and AD duties, I neglected to take care of that issue. I understand that it is OK to hire a trusted colleague or friend but the expectations of them should not be any different of anyone else.
Learning to read is one thing that was instilled in me at a young age. My journey all started with my great grandmother, Dolly, who kept me at her house up until I went into school. I had countless stories read to me when I was little and they ranged from Pocahontas all the way to Caleb’s Story. These stories allowed me to become enthralled in times of the past. Pocahontas was set during the formation of the colonies and Caleb’s Story was set in the time of the pioneer days in the West. However, the one book that ultimately changed my view point on reading was Listen to Your Heart. This story effected my choice in literature in years to come. Reading has provided me an escape as well as turned me into a complete romantic all because of my
