Chapter 8 - Strengths and Weaknesses We were all born with talents as well as areas we want to grow in. Popeye was a sailor who used spinach to gain strength and fight off any challenges. He always kept spinach nearby or he at least knew where to find it because he knew it would give him strength. Superman is branded as one of the strongest super heroes until he is exposed to kryptonite, a fictitious mineral from his home planet. He knew it was a weakness and did everything in his power to avoid

Living in dorms is all part of the college experience, where a student starts becoming independent and gets ready for the real world. However living in dorms isn't always the best option, so universities should allow students to choose whether they want to commute to school or live in dorms. There are several reasons as to why Universities should allow students to choose whether they want to commute to school or live in dorms. One of the reasons is because of the student’s health. For example

During my senior year of high school, all that I could think about was starting college and getting away from my small hometown and all of the drama that is stuck in it. I chose to go to the University of Miami in Coral Gables Florida. It wasn’t my dream school but it had a beautiful campus and a great academic program and the biggest factor was that it was far from home. I left for Miami in August to move in to the dorms and go to orientation. My mom came with me to help me get settled into my dorm

Stereotyping someone without knowing someone can bring unwanted conflicts and wrong impressions. The other college students talked about me, as they tended to, not knowing that I could hear what they were saying. “Look at her, she looks mean and rude.” The look on my face must be ugly, I suppose. Stereotypes always upset me and when the other girls were talking about me was no exception. After hearing what was said I began to grow angry as the elevator started to go up. I was alone, so I started

On a rather dreary Sunday afternoon, I had the pleasure of interviewing Alex, an RA in Haaland Hall, about her experiences as and RA and her thoughts on leadership. Alex was a little tired, but still chipper after staying up the previous night for weekend hall duties, which included rounds at 2:00 AM. Alex has been an RA for two years, previously in Christensen Hall and now in Haaland Hall, so she was able to offer me a wealth of advice based on years of experience. We began with a brief tour of

Generation Y, starting for the time of 1984-2003, known as Millenium Generation. Generation Y has grown up, a world with diverse Internet resources, iPods, Facebook, and intense multi-tasking, simultaneously chatting on AIM, finishing a problem set, watching television and listening to music. These are the Baby Boomers, heavily immersed in a digital world. Gen Yers are creative, focused, wild, trend-sitting, untamed generation. In Laura Vanderkam’s essay, “Hookups Starve the soul “,she talks about

Personal Narrative- Daydreaming There I sat, trying desperately not to drool in the middle of my daydream. Dare I say class was less than interesting and all I could think of was my bed? Instead of daydreaming of a hunky man, or even a bright future paved with a golden road of success, I was dreaming of my bed. It was an ordinary college dorm room bed: you never know how many people actually slept in it, or did something else in it, yet I still find comfort in its lumps and bumps. In the brilliance

The cold early morning December breeze nipped the tip of my nose fiercely, as I stepped out of my tiny 2003 black jeep wrangler. I swiftly made my way to the top of the steps leading up to the entrance of New York University. Despite the frigidness of the weather my palms were still sweaty and sticky due to the nervousness that starting college in the middle of the school year was bringing me. As I reached the doors to the main front office I breathed in heavily through my nose, and gently out through

I have been productive. My first couple of weeks during my intern, my supervisor gave me a list of social work duties and I have been following that list. In the morning, I check on my clients that are on my case load and I read the dorm log to be aware of what happened during the hours I was not present. Those are only a few things on the list. I think it is important to put my best foot forward not only for the intern but for the people I am serving. Analysis The Event I attended an ISC meeting

For this dinner party, the same five girls attended this dinner party at the library because it was the most convenient for us. We discussed our old topics and some new ones as well. We talked about things we have talked about in class and things we have recently seen in the media and how it has impacted our lives. We also talked about the speakers and their presentations they had. Again, we were curious on a male’s perspective of some of the views because our group did not contain a male. I had
