...FIRST STEP TO REACH MY GOALS First step to reach my goals Fernanda Chavez English 1101 Professor McCaughan Keiser University March 4, 2010 FIRST STEP TO REACH MY GOALS First step to reach my goals The most important thing that has ever happened to me is when I got accepted to a university. Some people don’t understand how much difference a good education makes. It opens your eyes to a wider world. It helps you understand things you never understood before. It gives you opportunities for a better life that you would never have had without the education. But education isn’t enough how many PhD degree you get , your heart I till no different than anyone else’s. We’re all still basically selfish, out for what we can get, focused on taking care of just us, and making the best life for ourselves we can. The reason why education doesn’t solve everything is because we have a heart problem, not a head problem. I can have all the education I want, but if my heart is not a good, one I will never be successful in life. So get another degree. Fill your head with more knowledge, but remember to also fill your heart. My major is Business Administration and I dream of having my own business one day, a business where I can make other people feel better about them self, make them feel like they are in place where at that moment nothing matters but their happiness, where problems and worries are outside not inside. Everything started when I was little, my family has hotels in...

...casey - I don't even know where to start. these past 6 months with you have been the best 6 months I have ever fucking had. you are the most gentle delightful human being I have ever met and I could write books about how you make me feel. you have done so much for me, I don't know how I could ever repay you for any of it. my favorite part about being with you is the memories we have and the ones we make, the things we learn from arguments and mistakes we make. we went from being best friends who bitched about everything to each other, best friends that talked about everything, to becoming this, which is a big ass leap from where we were from the start. I never knew I would fall this much in love with you, or anyone really, I didn't really...

...the greatest gifts I could have ever imagined! I was preparing myself for months leading up to those days but I had no idea when those days came it would change who I was, or even how I thought. It took a few days after to realize that all of this wasn’t a dream it became reality. I hoped and prayed for these days to come one day. I couldn’t have been more thrilled when they finally arrived. I keep thinking to myself is there anything I need to do better, what I needed to do, how my life will be different and there is no going back. All I could do was breath and enjoy every precious moment God has given me. When all else fails I know these were the days I can look back and always know I had done something right. July 8, 2009 came and what a day this was. This is the day I had my son Kelbyn and I remember this day very well. I woke up at 5 am to get ready and head to the hospital. We finally arrived at 6 am little did I know what I was about to go through. What I did know for sure was I was going to hold my son for the first time in my arms that day. By 8 am they started to induce me and this process wasn’t too pleasant. I was actually in labor for hours and pushed I know for 2 hours. The incredible thing that actually kept me going was getting to actually watch my son be born. Was it the craziest thing I have ever seen or even went through, yes it was by far? Them putting that mirror at the bottom of my bed and watching him be born was the one thing that keep me from giving up....

...Hazel Dogs are man’s best friend, and sometimes his only. My dog, Hazel was the best thing that ever happened to me. Even though she was an elderly dog, you could often find her acting like a young puppy. She was a beagle/pointer mix and had short, brown, grey, and white hair. If anyone were to be near her, she would lick them until they were drenched in slobber. She could listen and was the best friend anyone could ask for. Saying goodbye was one of the hardest things I’ve ever have to do. There were many amazing memories with Eloise. For example, when we first took her home, she got into the neighbor's backyard. Then, it took us the whole day to decide on another name for Eloise. After spending a lot of time cooped up in the laundry room talking, my family and I decided on Hazel. Hazel was the best. One winter, we took Hazel with us to cut down a Christmas tree. When we got out of the car and into the snow, she started running around all over the place. After a couple minutes, she was covered in snow and miserably cold. Then, several months later, we got chickens. It only took a couple months for her to figure out how to get inside, and once she did, she killed almost all of them, bringing their dead bodies back...

...Some may have the same thing every year just like my family, but in my opinion, I don’t think it’s the actual same. My family and I like to be different every year. Even though we still buy each other gifts, there are some things we just buy for the fun games! Every year we try to come up with a new game, sometimes we play cards to win a gift. The fun about winning one of those gifts is that it’s not something that you expected, for example, a tissue box or maybe even a candle because it can be random. It’s the best to have a random gift because later on, we actually might just use it, which makes the fun out of the random gift. People also have their own types of recipes, mine so ever tries different things every year because my family and I like to switch up things every once in awhile and try something new. We usually look up recipes in a cook book or the internet and would bring it to each other’s houses. My family and I like to try new things every year because we wouldn’t want to get bored with the same thing every year something new is also exciting! My family and I also like to visit each other’s houses so we wouldn’t get bored going to the same one house every year. Before opening all of our presents my family and I like to try the new recipes that everyone has tried to make. My aunt however is more sticking to what she loves to make, cupcakes. In my opinion they are never bad; they always have a good taste the best I ever had and a pretty decorations...

...swarms of people. Like a group of bees in a circle all over the halls, in every corner buzzing with the latest gossip. On your right there are the goths, then the preps. On your left there are the geeks/ nerds, rejects, rednecks and jocks. As I passed by each group the only thing I wondered was where do I fit in? Do any of us really fit in? Or is that just the cultural norm that we all have a separate group to fit into. Is that all we really are a label? What is the social norm, to be the Barbie of the world, with the best paying job, the best body, the most money and to be married to the perfect husband? In our society we have a tendency to conform to the social norm, to be put in a category that makes us feel at home not ever stepping out of our comfort zone to expand our interested or even willing to try. To be with the people we have the most common with we develop patterns. Noticing the little things and conforming to what fits into the group. We stick to it so we are more comfortable with our surroundings. To be outside of our bubble is not something that most of us are familiar with or comfortable doing. Switching groups takes courage, endurance, and sacrifice. I know this because it happened to me. My best friends were from the second grade. We did everything together up until about middle school when we all started to separate just a little bit. As their cloths turned black so did their attitude towards the world, and yet my cloths stayed bright as can be. One day at lunch...

...------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Part 1 - The Wedding Day I know I'm not the only one who wishes her wedding to be her best day ever. Since I was a kid I always dream that my wedding will be as beautiful like Cinderella's or Airel's. Imagining that I will have my own prince charming, my happily ever after But I woke up one day realizing that life isn't a fairytale. It doesn't goes to your plans, you can't have your prince charming and some-times it's not a happily ever after. I realized it when my parents business start dropping, when we start moving out of our own castle. I used to have my prince charming, I used to imagine my dream wedding day with him and my happily ever after with him But I was wrong, as I said life isn't a fairytale, I can't marry my prince charming. And my wedding day, isn't as beautiful like Cinderella's Because today's supposed to be my best day ever. Today it supposed to be the start of my happily ever after. But again I was wrong, I don't have the fancy dress, I don't have my prince charming by my side, I'm not inside a church but in front of a judge. God was supposed to be our witness, he was supposed to be the one that will tie us. But it doesn't goes to my way again, today there's only a judge and a piece of paper in front of...

...seems to be thrown around now more than ever. But what truly makes someone great? What makes someone a hero? How would you describe a hero? How would you describe a hero as someone who does not own a cape, but a jersey? A helmet? And, a football? I’d describe that as a person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked his or hers lives. Those words can only be describing one man, one living legend; Tom Brady. The three things that make Tom Brady the greatest quarterback in the NFL and in the history of the NFL if his work in the regular season, the postseason and his work off the field. Any NFL player knows the importance of the regular season. The goal is to win enough games so your team can make playoffs. Simple right? Well not so fast because a bunch of key players in the NFL have had losing seasons or have not made playoffs. Now, a true hero to the sport has never had a losing season and has made playoffs for a bunch of seasons. Not many players have had the same amount of success as Tom Brady. In 2001 Tom had his first career play in a NFL game when the starting...

...Reader heading: Jaguar F-Type The Clarkson Review: Jaguar F-Type S (2013) It’s a Hard Life English 102-034 January 27, 2015 Abstract The Jaguar F-Type, Jaguar’s first sports car since the E-Type died off in the early 70’s. Jaguar’s idea of the F-Type has been around since the late 90’s, but never followed through, but now it’s here. Considered to be one of the best sports cars on sale, the F-Type has overwhelmed the media and has convinced consumers it is ready to take down its competitors. Originally released as a roadster only, the F-Type has spawned many variants since its launch in 2013. The F-Type has won numerous awards and has shown the world that Jaguar through style, performance and value still knows how to build a true sports car. Article Summary In Jeremy Clarkson’s article, “The Clarkson Review: Jaguar F-Type S (2013) It’s a Hard Life”, written in the Sunday Times Driving, Clarkson talks about the F-Type and what he thinks of it. In his article, Clarkson begins by talking about the last sports car Jaguar produced, the E-Type. He talks about how when world famous singer Frank Sinatra first saw the E-Type, he said, “I have to have this car, and I have to have it now”. He also talks about how when the E-Type first came out, people didn’t car that buying a “Made in Britain” sports car from those days, meant that you would arrive in a cloud of oil and steam. Clarkson then exclaims, that “history has repeated itself with the F-Type”. He tells us...

...and the most… haha lol just kidding. Okay here’s the real one. My life wasn’t that easy. I always got bullied in school and always be the last one to be chosen in all the activities. I think that my classmates hate me. It’s true but there’s this guy who can accept who am I, the name is Warren Jay Parada. He was my best friend since the last summer for maybe how long? Ohm… 7 months? Yeah well he was the happiest person I’ve met yet, he had the most incurable pain. Why? Well you’ll know this in the next chapter. So Let’s go back to the story… I always got bullied it’s true and the one started it was my so called “FRIEND”, Mr. Rei Christian Presto. Oh, what a nice name but wait it’s the exact opposite of the attitude, personalities, and the face! And all other things. Well he was best friend actually, but since October 2013 he changed. He was insecure! Backstabbing me and teasing me. At that that time I was so annoyed! He was the most irksome person ever. REVENGE was my first option but I remembered something. Weak people revenge, strong people forgive and smart people forget. And the next things that happened? Ohhh I’ve already forgotten sorry hahaha. The only thing I remembered was that, I didn’t...

...“Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.” This is one of my favorite quotes of all time by debatably the greatest coach who ever lived, John Wooden. John Wooden was a coaching master. “The Wizard of Westwood” was born in Hall, Indiana, took his brilliant mind to UCLA where he became a legend, winning 10 National Championships in 12 years, including 7 in a row as the head coach of the Bruins. He was a 6 time NCAA coach of the year, and at one point during his National Championship streak, his teams won a record 88 games in a row. I chose this quote because I believe that it is appropriate in all aspects of life. Natural talent, ability, and connections can only get someone so far. They may be on top of the world, but if they don’t have any character, or any morals, they won’t last very long at all. To be the best one can be, they have to be well respected and liked so they can work together with other companions to stay at the top. Wooden’s teams were the best because they not only had amazing talent, but they also worked together as a team. They were a family, and they didn’t let selfishness get in the way. I could apply this to my own coaching style in that I would want my players to be role models on and off the court. To be well respected and to be at the top, they obviously have to be a great team, but they also must be a great team off the court. Character is who they really are as people. If a team has good character and are well...

...Hayes is not only my neighbor, but my best friend. She lives right down the street from me and I've known her for as long as I can remember. We both play soccer together and plan to play lacrosse and track together in high school, too. This year we have grown to become very close and so have our families she has one older sibling, Kyle. Her mom is an art teacher and her dad works from home. She is in my grade and although she's shorter than me, she's older, and I look up to her. I admire the fact that I can trust her, she can always put me in a good mood, and she is very confident in herself. One thing I admire about her is that I can trust her. Whatever I tell her, stays with her. She never gives my secrets away. This year, especially, has been hard for me. Things at home haven't been the best. I told her what had been going on and she was there for me. She said she would never tell anyone and it wasn't her place to, it was my personal business. Another way we have a trustworthy relationship is we tell each other everything even when it has to do with others. She also is always there for me and always gives good advice and supports me in whatever I do. For example, I really got to know a certain boy this year and really cared for him but he hurt me so many times and I didn't deserve it. Kasey was there for me and she had my back even though the boy is one of her best friends too. By far, she is one of the most trustworthy person I have ever known. Second reason why I admire...

...were going the extreme. I could not take it anymore, and then all of a sudden it stopped. My parents sat me down and told me what was going on. They explained to me that they were going to get a divorce. At first I was mad but I knew why it was happening. That’s when I thought my life was going to change forever. Things were going to be different; two parents weren’t going to be in one household anymore. I couldn’t call on daddy or mommy to come when they were no where around. I would have to wait until it was their turn for me to stay with them. That was going to be hard for me not being able to see my parents together anymore but I learned that it was for the best. While I was living with my mother during the week, my older brother took on the role of being the man of the house at the age of 14. At the beginning of the divorce everything was fine, going back and fourth to my dads and moms every weekend. But as time went by things were starting to go wrong. My father wasn’t getting me and my brother on his weekends that he was supposed to. That really hurt me because I felt like he didn’t want to spend time with me. I felt hurt and neglected towards my father. Things never changed; there would be times where I wouldn’t see my dad for 3 weeks straight. And it is still like that to this day. I feel as if my brother has been the father figure in my ...
