The first taste of freedom is when a person turns sixteen and for me that was my first taste of freedom. Turning sixteen is the first taste of freedom for many because people get a car and licenses. However, I got a car, but I did not get my licenses until June. The reason I did not receive my license to later because my parents did not believe I was ready for my licenses. The day I went to take my test it was the most exciting and stressful day of my life. When I went to the DMV it was packed as usual and I was scared that I would not be able to take the test. I sat there waiting for two hours thinking of all the terrible scenarios for me to fail the test. When my number appeared on the board, I felt all my blood rush to my heart and hands started to shake with the nervous feeling of taking the test. I stood with my dad walked towards the desk and sat down to feel out the information to receive my licenses. This was my first step to freedom. …show more content…
I got in the driver seat made sure to check my mirrors and waited for her to tell me to back up. Once, I backed up I felt my heart speed up and I tried to concentrate on nothing but driving. She took me down one of the roads to do a three-point turn at first, I did the three-point turn wrong. Although I did it wrong she allowed me to retry the three-point turn, I done it right the second time. Nevertheless, I still thought I messed up the other parts of the test, therefore, when we got back to the DMV I held my head down thinking I did not pass the test. The woman told me that I needed to work on my backing, which made me think she was not going to pass me since I backed up terrible; nonetheless, she told me had I passed the test. Relief flooded over my body, I smiled the whole time when she explained the rules. The second step of receiving freedom was finally receiving my

This experiment includes a standard solution, which according to Lewis, R. and Evans, W. “is a solution of known concentrations”. They also stated that “the procedure in finding the concentration of a solution is called volumetric analysis. It involves reacting a solution of known concentration with one of the unknown concentration, in order to determine the equivalence point”.
With these two leadership theories we can have a better understanding why some leaders can have an outstanding influence in follower’s, nevertheless I believe both theories could be more useful for leaders if in the future some of their weaknesses, explained next, could be overpassed. In Transformational leadership the influence processes for Transformational is still unclear in terms of the explanation of how can the influence of leaders affect the mediating variable and how outcomes and the influence process change from one situation to another. Most theories of Transformational leadership focus on the leader’s direct influence over individuals, not leader influence on group or organizational processes and this particular interest reflects in the fact that important behaviours, mainly in the group and organizational levels (influence is unidirectional), are missing. In Charismatic Leadership most of the weaknesses overlap with Transformational leadership so I will only mention the ones associated with Charismatic
I am an over-comer. I came into this world 3 and a half months early at 3 pounds 1 ounce, even then I had the determination to fight through adversity and for life. The doctors told my parents I would have physical and mental handicaps; leg braces, back braces, no mobile function, or response capabilities, I proved them wrong. After contracting RSV at 2 years old, and suffering from multiple seizures, doctors told my parents I would have to take asthma and seizure medications, Phenobarbital, for the rest of my life. With my parents help and guidance, I have not had a seizure for over 15 years. More recently, in September 2014, my brother and I were involved in car accident, my injuries were not as bad as my brother's were, but I received a
Challenging an idea takes a lot of courage. However, if a person fails to challenge an idea that he or she does not believe in, then that person is a quitter. On the other hand, if a person stands up to what he or she believes in, he or she is a fighter who is not afraid to express his or her own opinion. In the past year, I entered a science fair in my school. In my project, I used a common smartphone to analyze the color spectrum of certain dyes. I displayed great interest towards this topic and I promised myself that I would complete the project with the best of my ability. With that promise as a motivation I completed my project and was ready to amaze both the judges and the audience. Little did I know that the path I treaded on was not a straight one.
The first time we met, I didn’t realize that the seemingly meathead jock with the deep rumbling voice would teach me how to be me and swim in the oceans of life. In putting my trust in him, I gained an inveterate friend who has always been there to pick me up when I fell and knows exactly how to right my path. When we met, I was abashed by life and petrified to be me; he was self-assured, impeccable in every aspect of life. He has saved me more times than could possibly be counted; everyone should be so lucky as to have a friend like him.
Everyone will experience a death in their life at least once whether it’s a family member or friend, they will react to it differently and has to grieve in their own way. Death isn't something that someone looks forward too, so watching someone go from healthy, to where they can barely walk or talk on their own isn’t easy. But getting a lesson out of someones death takes away some of the pain, and helps you move on.
I walked into the Mr.Freeze line at Six Flags I saw the people in front of us get on. They sat down and buckled them in, then the countdown started 5,4,3,2,1 “Bye”. The Machine was off I counted 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Then they were back all paralyzed with fear. Our Turn! Me and my mom hopped on the ride and they buckled us in. All I could think was “No Way Out!!!”. Then I started to shake and to shiver while my sister in front of me with my dad had a jolly smile on her face! Then the countdown started 5,4,3,2,1 “Bye”. We took off zooming through twists and turns slamming into the tracks as we went.I’m going to die!! I thought. I tried to scream but my voice was to scratchy from the other rides I screamed and screamed but nothing.
A time that I faced a challenge was my junior year in high school. This was my hardest year academically. I felt as if three out of my five classes were impossible to pass (the other two being electives). It seemed like no matter how hard I studied or how much tutoring I received, there was no light at the end of the tunnel. Going from a straight A student with an occasional B here and there to then being in the low B range killed me. I stressed myself out tremendously over grades to where it became unhealthy. I would have migraines daily. I would come home, go straight to my room and dwell on the fact that I had no idea how to start my homework let alone complete it. I would sit there, depressed, crying my eyes out because I had nowhere to
In contrary to the “traditional” narrative, my aspirations of being a future healthcare provider did not start during childhood. I remember at the tender age of seven and bearing witness to the severe pain that radiated throughout my father’s body due to the movement of kidney stones. That experience, now looking back, instilled a sense of fear in me that lead to the avoidance of any career exploration or opportunity related to healthcare. It was not until college after better comprehending the healthcare system and learning about its inner workings that I began to develop my passion around social change and creating more equitable outcomes in terms of effective patient care and practices. Although, I am unsure as to what role and or, the function
As I become aware of the different issues that are happening in Puerto Rico and the rest of the world, I realize the duty we all have to be part of the solution; as a result, this summer I dedicated some of my time to community service. Even though, I had participated in some causes with my school, it was not until this summer that I discovered how rewarding it is to help others. I volunteered in the Food Bank of Puerto Rico (Feeding America), the American Red Cross and Puerto Rico Therapy Dogs. Each of the causes is special in their own way and I really enjoyed working with them.
“I’m the one that’s got to die when I have to die so let me live life the way that I want to.” (Jimi Hendrix). This quote inspired me to do everything that I do to the fullest because life is short. This quote is a great quote because it sums my entire life up in under 25 words. I am writing this letter so that I will be able to help you get to know me as a student and as a friend better. I can’t wait to start this school year off so that I can learn how to do so many different things and help me in areas that I need help on.
I’ve been called a perfectionist, a procrastinator, a control freak, scatterbrained, a worrywart, and a stress case, not without good reason. I’ve had anxiety issues since I was little, but the growing pressure from middle school to high school really brought out the stress big-time. Throughout elementary school, I received good grades but I acted shy and distracted. I spent lots of time with my nose buried in a book- at home, while shopping, in the car, at other people’s houses, even while crossing the street (which I do not recommend). Fiction, specifically fantasy, was my favorite escape. I’d spend hours attending Hogwarts, discovering Narnia, fighting in the Hunger Games, exploring Fablehaven, and taking on Greek mythological monsters. It was just so much easier and more fun to deal with fictional problems than face reality.
Do you know what you want to do when you’re older? It can be hard deciding because everyone pressures you to do the best, but remember that no job is ever permanent. Im still young, but I think that at my age, I should already have ideas of what I want to do/become. The things that I do on a daily basis should somewhat lead me to the thing I want to most. Years ago, I used to say that I want to become a teacher, but now I think I know what I want to do and I hope that I’m successful enough to fulfill this dream; I want to travel the world. Even though I haven't been to many places, my goal is to go almost everywhere once I'm educated enough, and when I have enough money. Travelling somewhere new and learning about the different places excites me!
My early experience with technology was playing games on my parent’s cell phones and watching television as a child. My mom use to sit me on the couch as a baby and turn on blue’s clues and give me a big bowl of Cheetos puffs and she said I would not move, she said I would be glued to the television and it was like I was amazed by the pictures running across the screen.
