STATEMENT OF PURPOSE My four years of undergraduate studies in CS at PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore and my exposure and penchant for research have made the choice of further study, for me, an obvious one. My goal is to pursue a career in research, either in industry or in academia. Ten years from now, I envisage myself as a full-fledged research professional in an organization, or a faculty member at one of the leading universities. The first step towards my objective would be to pursue
poverty that they may have lived: “money was scarce say the jars of plum preserves and canned tomatoes sealed in the cellar hole” (13-14). What food they had needed to last, as the man had failed to produce any food for his family in his untended fields. The man living in the abandoned farmhouse was, in fact, not an effective farmer, “say the
In “One Last Time,” Gary Soto talks about how he grew up in an immigrant family, and to make money had to work the fields. He talks about how the menial jobs made him feel and what he thought of them. I may not be able to relate to the immigrant laborer part of the story. I understand what it’s like to come from very little but still think that some things are not worth doing just to get something if it will make you feel like less than you are. Soto goes into great detail about his time picking
for their children. Female slaves’ jobs varied from housework, to field work. Slave mothers knew that giving up on their work was not an option, they had to persevere for their families. Motherhood and work went hand in hand for female slaves, one was not able to do one and not the other. Field labor was an unavoidable task that was fulfilled by nearly all slaves in the antebellum south. There was no gender discrimination in the fields, female slaves had to perform almost all of the plantation chores
Soccer! Why is it something that can shape character as an adult? It was seven o’clock in the morning on a Sunday afternoon. The sun was already peeking through my window. I could feel the warmth of the sun as it was shining on my face. Lying there, I listened to the sounds that only someone who was up at that time of the morning on a Sunday, could hear. I listened as my neighbors cut their grass. I heard birds chirping, as if they were speaking to me. “Teresa, get up! Today is the big day”. It
The sun climbed up the sky, shining the fields a brilliant golden. The barley stalks waved majestically in the wind. A lush valley filled with green willows and shrubs lied past the fields. On the other side of the field, the ranch was overshadowed by the large and strong Gabilans. A herd of rabbits bounded through the valley, and sat on the fluffy grass, watching a large grey hulk stand lifelessly in the center of the field. A large cloud meandered over the Gabilans, changing the well-defined brown
Multiplicative thinking, fractions and decimals are important aspects of mathematics required for a deep conceptual understanding. The following portfolio will discuss the key ideas of each and the strategies to enable positive teaching. It will highlight certain difficulties and misconceptions that children face and discuss resources and activities to help alleviate these. It will also acknowledge the connections between the areas of mathematics and discuss the need for succinct teaching instead
Jack's eyes were full of tears and his face brimming with distress, "Please don't kill me, my daughter, she is the only thing I have, and it would break her heart If I died'', he begs. One of the attackers yelled out and said, “shut up ok!” Then he said, “You don’t have to worry about your daughter, she will be fine, we are going to take loving care of her or she might end up were going in a few, and you know where that’s is hu? just keep on talking” Then the leader of the
I would like to address the lack of partnership with the Institute for Faith and Learning. This issue has already been discussed at length with Dr. Kevin Jackson and a compromise had been reached. As far as we understood, the partnership with the Institute for Faith and Learning was suggested as a form of oversight. It is understandable that Baylor has no interest in condoning a problematically radical or heretical religious group. Oso Logos is by no means such a group but we understand that precautions
important part of my life. I believe that in the honors program, I will be able to discover more about nature and biology than I ever thought possible. Passion is another characteristic that I believe I have acquired for biology. A passion for this field has always been in my soul and it has always been my favorite subject. I wish to uncover the truth and solve mysteries about unexplained scientific problems. I have a great desire and - with the help of the honors program- resources to feed this passion
