I Survived...

Experience Opening my eyes slowly I could see millions of cracks shattered across my windshield. Trying to move as the pain began jolting through my body. A surprised voice grabbed my attention as I became conscious, he was telling me to stay still as the sound of the saw ate away at my door. I realized then that I was in a terrible car accident, somehow, I survived. This was the moment that changed my life, the moment that Jesus took the wheel. Hours prior to that I sat alone; sad, angry and dumbfounded

As a small child, I had always wished to meet the man of my dreams, start a family, and achieve success in the path I chose. As I grew, I learned about the world around me and myself. I learned these things gradually each small bit of information being picked up and put with other pieces, until one piece came along that was just a little bit bigger and more significant than the others. It was the middle of spring, and I had survived sixth grade up to this point without incident. I hadn’t experienced

military? Well, I have some experience in this matter many times. While on this journey we will all take a trip down memory lane back to how this all started. We will go about joining to the end of obligated service with the military. There have been situations in my life that molded me, and I would not go back to change them. In 2006, I started the down the path of serving my country in the active duty military. Well I guess any story needs a beginning and mine started back when I was a junior in

The history of musicals on stage is broad and extensive. There are many different histories of stage musicals: French operettas, Grecian plays, and Roman comedies are just a few. However, I am going to focus on American musicals. The musical that many Americans are familiar with has its roots in the French and Viennese operettas of the 1800s, but take their comic style from American Variety and Minstrel Shows, which led to Vaudeville and Burlesque shows. Known to be the first American musical

Located in northeast Italy in the Emilia-Romagna region and the capital of the province bearing its name, Ravenna is internationally celebrated for its stunning ancient mosaics and rich history. Ravenna's prosperous past is evident in its wealth of still-standing examples of Byzantine art and architecture. Positioned near the Adriatic Sea on a marshy plain, Ravenna has served as a strategic ?capital three times: of the western Roman Empire, of Theodoric King of the Goths, and of the Byzantine Empire

country, I learned to be resilient, innovated and decisive. Thanks to those experiences I was prepared to achieve my American Dream. Before I moved to this country, I was a studious girl, that owned a small cloth shop in a town in the middle of the jungle. I could only dream of having a successful career. It was very unlikely that a girl from the Choco, the poorest and least developed state in Colombia, could graduate with honor from a school like Villanova. And even less likely that I could become

I choose only to make a few revisions before I submitted my final work. In my first poem, As A Child, I chose to only make one revision; to take the last line “A memory we could only wish to freeze in time.” out. I choose to take this line out of my poem because I thought it was repetitive to the line before it. The second last line of the poem is “A timeless memory” and I felt that having those two lines one after another was redundant. In my second poem The Good and the Bad in the World, I only

The argument I find There Will Come Soft Rains to be making is that nature does not need humans or human interaction to survive and will in fact outlive them and their creations to reclaim the Earth. Humans are very complex and need more upkeep to survive. Nature on the other hand needs no help and can live on its own. Nature wouldn’t even notice if humans were gone and would most likely thrive without them. Humans and their creations on the other hand wouldn’t be able to survive without upkeep.

I have worked at the broadband industry’s leader, Incognito Software, for over 10 years. Throughout this time I’ve created several innovations. Some standouts would be the company’s online customer knowledgebase, a new-hire onboarding program, and a quarterly technical newsletter. I am quite proud of one innovation: The Boot Camp at the annual Incognito User Conference. In 2010, Incognito offered its customers and partners the opportunity to attend the company’s inaugural user conference, a three-day

I was too tired and weak to bother protesting anymore. Long had it been since the fight had left me. Now I watched as if an outsider as my limp body was shoved onto a packed train that would take us to our deaths. If we didn't die on the way first. Time passed me without meaning and the train took off with a lurch. We flew over track, and the effect of so many bodies crammed together was stifling. Perhaps we weren't humans at all, but the other species the Germans talked about and said didn't deserve
