When I arrived here at college I was extremely disappointed with the selection of food here in the cafeteria. I frequently found myself eating only hamburgers and pizza over and over again, simply because I did not like the other choices. About four months into the school year I had do go to the doctor for a virus and when the nurse weighed me I was a little surprised by what I saw. I had gained a little over ten pounds, close enough to what some refer to as the “Freshman 15.” It is a common fear among college students that they are going to gain fifteen pounds during the course of adjusting to college life. However experts have stated that the idea of the so called “Freshman 15,” is not that accurate. Every college student is obviously

In my current role as a nurse educator I feel the desire to pursue my dream of obtaining a master’s degree, specializing in nursing education.

Instead of expecting others to change, we should look critically at ourselves and make changes accordingly. Lin in Anne Jew’s “Everyone Talked Loudly in Chinatown” and Sandra in Connie Gault’s “The Man Who Followed His Hand” are both self-centered and narrow minded. They assume that their thoughts are right and feel isolated from their own community. Choosing to ignore the risks and problems surrounding them; only distances them further from the ones they love along with solving their complications in being secluded.

Wait Till Next Year, by Doris Kearns Goodwin, is a personal memoire of Goodwin’s life growing up in Rockville Centre, New York during the 1950s. Goodwin talks about multiple members of her family, including her father, Michael, her mother, Helen, her two sisters, Charlotte and Jeanne, and her best friend while growing up, Eileen. The memoire includes many memories of how she and her family were affected during the atomic bomb and McCarthyism. Also in her story, she highlights the good and bad things about growing up as a suburban child.

Citizens of Pleasantville have certain knowledge about themselves and society, but because there is no exposure to differing ideas, individuals are stuck with the same opportunities and values. A specific example of this includes the community’s view on gender roles: men hold power as the head of society and women stay at home to cook and clean. There are no opportunities to change this structure, as the communication of ideas is restricted to what is known and not to anything new. The town leadership fears a true deviation from the accepted social order, and as a result, the citizens of Pleasantville conform to this system to prevent conflict. While this lifestyle provides harmony and order, conformity actually limits society from growing and enhancing. On the other hand, when individuals start voicing out their opinions, new ideas challenge the false peace that society had in their conformity. After Bud and Mary Sue introduce different and rather contradictory ideas, like sex, color, and individuality, people start pursuing their own passions as individuals, rather than as a whole society. With all these changes, individuals burst into color when choosing to leave “pleasant” behind for the freedom to express personal

I just can’t believe there is only few more days of high school left. As the days are getting closer and closer, it's getting sad. I still remember the day I stepped into Maine East High School as a Freshman, at that time, all I wished for was to graduate from this school with good grades. High school was not the way I imagined, it is way different from what I thought and definitely different from Middle School. Freshman year was the “exploring/adventure” year, finding where each classes were, what activities/clubs were offered at this school and many more. Freshman year went quickly and then Sophomore year came up. Sophomore year was probably the least stressful year in high school but from Sophomore year my family and friends started asking me the scariest question “What are you doing after high school, which career?

The main reason for this essay is because I did not follow out proper orders and was not at the correct place of duty for PT/Accountability formation at the correct time. Although there was a miscommunication, granted on my half, there is still no excuse for me to miss a formation. I want to be an excellent soldier and I want to excel in the military. The first step I need to put into action is always making sure I am at the appropriate place of duty at the correct time or preferably with time to spare. This is a simple task that is easy and painless to ensure, and it will be accomplished.

Community members often express proudly how many churches exist in relation to the size of the Parish. One local leader said that there is an estimated 96 congregations operating in the parish (personal communication, April 27, 2015). The community relies on not only the opportunity to practice one religion in these churches but they also rely on the many community services they provide in the absence of official help. Many of these churches have adopted programs on their own or have aligned themselves with other churches in the community to create large scale programs to meet some very important and crucial services for the most at risk populations in this community. Some of the services and resources that these churches provide are, food pantries, clothing, a homeless shelter, a women’s shelter, job skills training for women, parenting classes, housing assistance, utility bill assistance counseling services for divorce and grief, and there are more services still.

In Philip Roth’s “The Conversion of the Jews” the inquisitive pre-bar mitzvah boy, Oscar “Ozzie” Freedman, finds himself suffering a typical pre-teen dilemma of faith. Although he is driven by respect for family and faith, he is still quick to question and point out the hypocrisies that he identifies around him. At first glance Roth paints Ozzie as disrespectful, however as the story unfolds, he is shown as sincerely interested in comprehending the nature of God and religion, and becomes the moral voice within the story. He challenges the false necessities of his world by continually going above them.

High school is a crucial period for all adolescences, it’s a time where teenagers are approaching young adulthood, their learning new skills rapidly, and making important decisions (Blakemore, 2011). For this reason, it is highly imperative for high school students to have positive influences in their lives, especially in their educational setting. In high school, educators play an important role in their student’s lives because they have the opportunity to have a stronger impact on their future and their goals. In addition, they also have the opportunity to, inspire them to learn and try new things, teach them how to make sound decisions, and encourage them to collaborate with their peers (Bellanca & Brandt, 2010).

When helping others you always believe that you are doing the right thing. In this case, the right thing ended up with my parents’ jewelry gone and loss of what I thought was a friend. The start of my eleventh grade high school year in Seattle was not only the worst year of my life, but the most eye opening experiences of my life. How could someone play the role so well, and smile with a big, innocent grin to your family, but be so evil and empty inside? How could someone betray your trust when you were so close, like a sister to me? How could someone steal from right under your nose and you not notice anything? These are all questions that I asked myself about my friend LaToya, that had been the sweet, innocent friend that I had always wanted. The school year of 2007, was not only a learning experience on getting to know that you can’t help everyone, but also an eye opener to remember the company you keep is not always good for you.

Imagine getting home from school and finding yourself in isolation. You come home to find out that your parents are no longer there because they have been deported. Living in this country with undocumented parents implements a fear in millions of kids including myself. In 2015, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) records that 235,413 people were deported. Since most kids with undocumented parents are U.S citizens, when their parents get deported they face having to get separated. This shows how cruel the U.S deportation system works, the system is separating families and it’s affecting the lives of millions of U.S citizen children. When parents get deported they have to make the hard decision of taking their children to a foreign country where they probably will not receive the same opportunities they get in the U.S. Unfortunately, in some cases kids end up in foster care when no other care is provided. This process is devastating because no parent should ever be separated from their children. Everyday undocumented immigrants have to live through the fear of getting stopped by a cop and get deported. So the question is, should undocumented immigrants be allowed to live in the U.S without fear of getting deported? The answer should be yes. Immigrants should have the liberty to live a life where they don 't have to be scared of the people who should be protecting them. Most people have the ideal that all immigrants are criminals; however, that is not nearly true.
