...that my college career is almost over; although it feels as if it just started. In one year I am going to be a senior on the verge of graduation and that scares me. During my junior year I registered for management, which I thought was going to be another normal core business course at Quinnipiac. I expected to get assigned a text book and have to read and memorize a ton of management vocabulary just so I can answer them on the test. However, this management class had more than I was expecting. We were assigned the book The Passion Test, The Effective Path to Discovering Your Life Purpose written by Janet and Chris Attwood. The ideas within this book were not terms I had to memorized, but life lessons to be learned. The Passion Test was written in order to help people all around the world discover their inner selves in order to figure out what it is exactly they want to do. The passion test makes you question your own personal interest, values and dreams and then compare them to each other. Reading this made me ask myself questions that I never have before. Before reading this book I was nervous about becoming a senior because I was not entirely sure what I wanted with my life. However, after reading The Passion Test I’ve come to see what is important to me in my life and now feel prepared to take the next few steps in that direction. There are twenty questions that help people start to realize there interest and values. The first question is, what type of books do you tend to...

...the upmost tedious people, this game is made up of inches that can glorify you and/or demoralize you. I have been playing golf for 6 years now and have become quite good at it and it now holds a special place in my life. I have met many of my friends through golf and I can guarantee that all of these people will be in my life forever. I know that many people are in given social, racial, religious, or economic groups, but their group doesn’t make their lives better or more fulfilling; that is why I love my group it is unique and it makes my life better. Society sees golfers as rich, stuck up, and rather egotistical people; this may be completely incorrect but that is what I gather from the general public. If you asked a non-golfer to profile your middle aged country club member three things would come to mind: fruity colored shorts, a smug snobbish look, and a wallet full of cash that his daddy earned for him. Honestly for the most part you were spot on and that’s what you would get, but I’m writing this to tell you how we are all different, even though stereotypes are correct more often...

By Samuel Mehr agree that music does not enhance cognitive abilities. Both sources use logical as well as emotional appeals in order to support their claim. Mehr’s claim was better supported than Oppenheimer’s article. For this topic, I chose these two sources, by Oppenheimer and Mehr. These sources come to an agreement, Oppenheimer states that children should not learn music in schools, and that it should be a hobby taught and performed outside of education. Whereas, Mehr believes that music isn’t as significant an enhancement toward your cognitive abilities, he believes it is still necessary...

... Part 1 For each of the following six dimensions of health, list at least one characteristic, activity, belief, or attitude that reflects that dimension in your life. Provide a brief explanation with each example. Refer to Ch. 1 in the text for explanations of these dimensions. Physical health: pertains to the general health of one's body. Having a cold or flu or if you experience pain or fatigue when you exercise moderately? These are signs that can tell you whether or not your physical wellness is being neglected. Social health: pertains to how you interact with others. If you are friendly and outgoing, or isolative? Are you involved in your community? It's important to point out that someone with a lot of friends isn't necessarily more socially well than someone with a few friends. To be socially well means that your expectations and desires regarding your interactions with others are being met. Intellectual health: pertains to whether or not you meet your desired level of intellectual stimulation. Enroll in a formal education or training program, or simply study a hobby of yours to contribute to your positive intellectual wellness. Environmental health: pertains to the type of environment you live in such as for example if you live next to a sewage plant. That wouldn’t be too healthy for you and your family. The key is to find an environment that you can feel healthy in and can continue to be healthy while you live there. Emotional health: pertains to how...
