Personal Narrative-America's Assassination

Studying in a foreign country is an interesting experience of an individual lifetime. One tends to learn a number of things relating to ways of life in a foreign land. Social, political and economic values and aspects are usually different from one region to another. Therefore, through studying abroad one is able to learn different issues about another society such as gender and sexuality issues, social class and race/ethnicity issues. Having come from a developing country studying in the U.S.A has been a great experience personally. This paper will attempt to provide a reflection of my personal experience on studying in the U.S by comparing the history of Angola and the U.S.

Growing up in Ghana, I had heard a lot of things about the U.S. This was a country I had always wanted to visit; my prayer was answered when I got the opportunity to travel there. Arriving in a new environment came with many experiences. Adjusting with food, language and the weather was not easy. With the passage of time, however I have been able to0 adjust and fit it. This write-up therefore is to elaborate on my experiences since coming to U.S.

I felt that I could relate myself to the pilgrim she saw in her vision. I came to this country for the freedom of worship, to appreciate diversity, and to have opportunities to utilize my talents without being discriminated.

Johnnie, Veronica, Frank et al. do me a solid with all your “knowledge” and “wokeness” step outside your educational privilege and support systems for a minute. I in no place in my post said anything about America being perfect so what you did was hijack a status about the solidarity I feel for the people in my life and in this country who very much will struggle with an intensified troubling life experience in the country to PROVE you have some kind of exceptional wokeness or understanding of America. MISS me with it. No America was not safe for everyone but we just did was extend the people who it was unsafe for. If that’s cool with you then carry on with your bullshit. I have NEVER EVER said it’s a safe place for everyone. I have NEVER

On Feb. 24, 2017, I lost Sean, and my wife,Sandra, in a car crash. It was a dark, rainy evening when the accident happened. Sandra had called to let me know that she had gotten off work early and said she could pick up our son, Sean, from soccer practice. I insisted on picking him up, but Sandra said it would be better if I were to stay with our sixteen month old daughter, Summer. After thirty minutes, I called them. Sandra answered the phone to tell me that she picked up Sean, but all of a sudden, I heard a crash, and then the call went silent. “Sandra?” I said quietly, and there was no reply. I yelled “Sandra?!” Yet, there was no reply, until I heard the siren of a fire truck. Suddenly, my entire world started collapsing.

It was a nice clear day, I was at Brooklyn’s Ladder Company getting some equipment for me and the other firefighters. While I was working I had the news on and saw that we had just been hit by a mass terrorist attack. Me and my buddies Dan McWilliams and Billy Eisengrein instantly stopped what we were doing and headed to the scene. There was mass destruction and people running and screaming. All I could think of in my head was that I needed to show these people that no matter what happens, American still stands tall. I began looking for ways to show that we can not be defeated and to boost the citizens morale.

I was born in 1962, Detroit, Michigan. I remember it clearly, there was lots of noise, machines, and sparks - a very industrial type of place. I was being pieced together with my brothers and sisters, I don’t know how many of them there were, though. Probably around 400,000 of them. About 27,000 of them just like me, the “Classic” with my decent sized power and good body shape. My other brothers have bigger muscles and better body lines. They are called the “Ambassadors.” My sisters, the humans call them the “Americans” have a better ability to go longer without having to drink, and are very petite. But, aside from the building not being the cleanest, with dirt and dust everywhere, the place had a very tough sensation in it. Big metal machinery and bullet proof strength, was where I was born. Made 100% in the USA.

All the women in my family, myself included, love the Rob Reiner film American President (the one where Michael Douglas is the president and falls for Annette Benning) to the point where my mother and two aunts can quote the whole thing without missing a beat. While I’m not quite on their level yet, one quote that I can always jump in on is: “We have serious problems to solve, and we need serious people to solve them.” I want to be one of those people—a relentless problem solver with new, creative and innovative ideas to make the world around me a more connected place. And that’s why I’d flourish at Eugene Lang, as well as contribute to the driven and dynamic student body of artists and innovators that attend the school. I hope to become

Have you ever been all the way to the top of the World Trade Center?Well I have and it was amazing!I was pretty scared because I'm afraid of heights,but when I got up to the top I forgot all about being scared.When I was going up in the elevator it showed a amazing virtual view of the buildings around the World Trade Center.

Somebody’s opinion on what it means to be American, can change over time based on what generation they were a part of and what they did or experienced during their lifetime. In my generation, American identity doesn’t consist of a certain ethnicity or religion, but everyone should exercise their rights and be successful in school. To prove that opinions change over different time periods, I interviewed my two grandparents and my parents who have experienced many interesting things throughout their lives. My grandfather has served in the air force and my grandmother was born during the time of World War II. Furthermore, my mother moved to America when she was fifteen, from the Philippines while my father lived here and in a few other countries throughout his life. By interviewing my family of different generations, I hope to find that historic events and experiences will alter what they think of our home country.

Days of travel can be tedious. You park your car, grab your bags, and lug them through security only to be harassed by a TSA officer for having a bottle of water. After quarreling for what seems like an eternity, the now agitated TSA officer directs you to the full body x-ray scanners and gives you another pat down. Although you arrived 3 hours early to the airport, you get past security with just 15 minutes to boarding. You look up at the departures screen and right then, the PA sounds with a message no traveler would want to hear. “Attention passengers. United Airlines Flight 478 to New York LaGuardia has been cancelled due to inclement weather. Thank you for your cooperation.” As you are about to cry, you suddenly realize something. This could go 2 ways. You can either complain and get rebooked a hours later or you could game the system and make it all worthwhile.

I would like to make a claim for air tickets as a result of the cancellation of flight UA869 from San Francisco to Hong Kong on the 31 Jul 2016.

One of the reasons for the mistreatment of Dr. Doa was due to the airline overbooking flights. Most airlines overbook flights frequently. United Airlines booted 3,765 passengers off flights last year just because it sold more tickets than there

Ans: The Systems Operations Control (“SOC”) group had to be responsible for this situation. They are the one responsible for monitoring and coordinating Northwest Airline’s response to schedule problems and any other potential problems. On Saturday, January 2nd, Northwest Airline’s Chief Dispatcher had already suggested that the conditions were bad enough to justify a shutdown of NWA’s operations. However, the director of the SOC department insisted to carry on the departures due to given that conditions were still above legal minimums. He was the one to decide the NWA’s operations at Detroit should continue, although he did reduce the number of arrivals from 39 to 25 per

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 severely affected the airline. On the morning of September 11, 2001 the Federal Aviation Administration suspended all commercial airline flights and Southwest did not resume flight operations until September 14. During this time Southwest canceled about 9,000 flights. After flights were resumed, revenues were severely impacted and ticket refunds increased. To aid the airlines affected by the terrorist attacks, the Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act provided some compensation to qualifying United States airlines to help compensate for the losses (Southwest 2005).
