A-ha

As I have seen most of my family follow through the pathways of the medical field, it has greatly influenced me as to where I would like my career path to go. Observing the countless hours family members have endured throughout their schooling process and seeing the stress on their faces, it has showed me that my schooling will be no easy process and that it is going to take a lot of hard work and dedication to reach the goal I plan on reaching. "With stress, comes great reward", my step mom would

Katlin, your first ah-ha moment caught my attention the most. Thank you for listing a couple of the Code of Ethics created by the National Education Association. After reviewing the information that you provided in your Ah-ha response, I noticed that neither statement that you mentioned stated anything about social economics.

Through these different outlooks, the views of the author become clear, that is, your outlook affects your experience or your view of your experience. He has illustrated this through Harry’s belief that “the universe had singled him out for humiliation and ridicule” (Roberts, 2009, para. 2), and conversely through

The Affects That the Appearance Has On Behavior In, the three stories that we have explored this semester, Passing, A Raisin in the Sun, and Mama Day all have the same theme of how identity is based off of the appearance of someone, and how that appearance reflects how they will behave.

Ha Jin’s short story “Saboteur” tells of a man who seems discontent, idealistic, and gravely ill. In Muji, Mr. Chui, is accused of sabotage and taken by force to jail after a run in with railroad authorities. His crime is for speaking out against police officers assaulting him and his bride during lunch in the city square. The reader is lead to believe this is a simple case of excessive force by the police, therefore the abuse of power is the catalyst of this short story, but the real story is about

of all, you never master it.” Golf is advancing every day. For a sport that was once made for purely entertainment, it has come a long way to now, with current professional tournaments and competitive gameplay.

Golf is a sport that was created early on and has advanced exceedingly throughout the years with the involvement of technology in golf clubs and golf carts. First, golf is

Trickery Has Always Existed In the Twelfth Night, the typical craziness of love and relationships is shown. Viola starts the confusion as she poses a man to get a job in the home of the Duke, Orsino. Because of her hard work and loyalty, she or Cesario (which is her disguised name) becomes a favorite of Orsino. The real twist begins here because Viola begins to fall in love with Orsino, but since she is “Cesario”, she cannot let these feelings be known without reveling her true identity. One

“Wenny Has Wings,” written by Janet Lee Carey shares a powerful message of dealing with grief and loss, shown entirely through every journal entry the main character, Will North, writes to his deceased sister Wenny. Will speaks from his soul in a certain way only a child can, “I miss you hard, with an ache in my stomach and a sandpaper feeling all down my throat. I miss you like a big, empty, shut-up, quiet space torn out of my guts, and nothing can patch up that great big ugly hole you left.” When
