A Long Walk to Water is a novel by Linda Sue Park. This novel is about Salva, an eleven-year -old Sudanese boy who grows up in South Sudan. Later in the novel, he has faced challenges one wouldn’t dream of facing, through a long period of time. He has learned, if one helps other people, those people will then help more people, which will result in more happiness in the world. He is a round character, who changes throughout the novel. Salva is a different person at the end of the book. He has gone from hearing his death journey to fighting for survival to helping transform people’s lives forever.
Imagine travelling hundreds of miles across the desert barefoot while not knowing anyone. That’s what the Lost Boys of Sudan had to deal with, walking thousands of miles across the desert surviving with limited water, food supplies and no family. In the movie God grew tired of us and the book A Long Walk to Water, I find that the worldviews that were most in conflict are Society Belief and Time.

We filled those hot summer days playing hopscotch and marbles, or rolled down the hills in my yard until we felt so dizzy that we couldn’t stand. The brook below our house was gentle. Sometimes we would both go down, sit on the bridge while we let our feet hang loose to let the cooling water drip past our toes, and breathed in the smell of pine and moss. The sound of rushing water hitting the rocks was soothing. You could see giant bullfrogs peering their heads up and out of the water, as still as could be. Although their green coloring blends in with the moss, I always knew to look for a pair of gleaming yellow eyes, and their white chin that was always above the surface of the water. We usually let them be, but sometimes we liked to try to catch their wet and slimy

When I was senior in high school at Civic Memorial High I decided I wanted a job that made a good deal of money, which is when I found pharmacy. I wasn’t the the smartest girl in school
One experience that focused my general interests of science, math, and health to pharmacy is working at CVS. This job strengthened my interest for wanting to work in the healthcare field. By working as a pharmacy technician, I am able to gain experience working in the pharmacy and having greater understanding of retail pharmacy. I enjoy helping patients and being knowledgeable on a variety of medications.
The flexibility within the field of pharmacology is something that makes it especially appealing to me. There are lots of different areas of study under the “umbrella” of pharmacology, and that is something that should be present in any career field, from simple municipal work to being President of the United States. I want to be able to switch my job around without having to go back to school every time I want to make a change, and pharmacology is an interesting field that would allow me to do so. There are so many divisions of pharmacology that it would be nearly impossible for me to get bored with my
According to the instructor, the river was supposed to be no more than three feet deep, yet her head was out of our sight. We were very alarmed, so we swam furiously as quickly as we could to where she was. After a few minutes of struggling to get away from the rocky areas we managed to get her tube back and threw it to her. As we were recovering from the incident and getting back into completing our activity, I felt something thick and slimy wrapped along my leg which caused me to start panicking once again. It took me a few seconds to realize that it was just a cluster of plants and twigs. After the alarming incident, I was extremely shaken but thought that nothing bad could happen again. I was wrong. I then noticed that the aftermath of the collision resulted in a small opening in my tube, which allowed the air to begin flowing out. I got stuck and could no longer move away in the water without sinking. As I had discovered earlier, the water was quite deep. I once again felt worried and so many thoughts were rushing through my mind. My friends tried helping me but the currents dragged them away, further down the
In 2040 in a town in virginia there was a school called Pine Hill High, and in this school there was a teenager called Sebastian. Sebastian was nothing out of the ordinary. He wasn’t in any of the advanced classes, but he wasn’t stupid. He didn’t have any good friends, but he wasn’t a loner. He was nothing out of the ordinary. He was just a completely average kid.
There is something about cities, that makes one feel so insignificant like there is a whole system of things bigger than you. They make outsiders feel that it is somewhat of a privilege to be able to even observe the secret, yet fast-paced, operations that go on. Whoever you are, wherever you’re from, it doesn’t matter to the people there. They only see your exterior.
For regards to what I plan on pursuing in the future, I am starting to zone in on pharmacy school. I was interested in emergency medicine for quite a while now, but I started talking to more family, friends, and professionals in the field and realized the work load necessary on a day-to-day basis and I realized I wasn’t really interested in that
How are we supposed to go in deeper? It’s not like we have a submarine!” “But we do!” Willow exclaimed suddenly. “Huh?” Me and Scarlett asked at the same time. “Well, at least my dad does. He works for the Marine Biology Center, and he can take us down in a submarine!” Willow told us excitedly. “Great! Let’s go!” exclaimed, already running down the driveway. Willow and Scarlett hopped on their bikes that were parked in my driveway, and I got mine out of the garage. Then we set off to the Marine Biology Center.
One afternoon, six other staff members and I between the ages of 14 and 16 decided that we wanted to explore the creek on the edge of camp. Sometimes we took the campers down there to search for fossils, but we weren’t allowed to travel past a certain point. Today, we wanted to venture beyond and examine how far the creek went. First, we needed to hike through some fields and then wade through a bit of stinging nettle, but eventually, we reached the water. We were all expecting to become fully drenched, so we brought bathing suits and water shoes. It started off shallow, but gradually grew deeper and deeper, with some areas of the creek as high as waist deep. After
I selected pharmacy as my career because I had an interest in science, and I also knew that I wanted to be able to directly and/or indirectly help people for my career. Caring for people is one of the most important aspects of my immediate and long term goals. During my junior year of high school was when I really decided that I wanted to go into healthcare specifically. We found out that my grandmother had cancer and only a few more months to live. She had hospice nurses taking care of her at home, but my mother and I went to her house every day after work and school to help take care of her. It was difficult to ensure that she was happy and taken care of while completing all of my schoolwork, but I worked through it by keeping a planner
