...For me, writing is frustrating. Many times I have trouble writing about anything. The main reason why I have so much trouble when writing, is because I don't concentrate on my work enough. Even when I try my hardest to concentrate, my mind seems to wonder around to a different direction towards another thought. After that, I forget all about my work and just think about various things such as people, places, and different times I've had in the past. For example, even while I'm writing this small paragraph, my mind keeps on slipping into other thoughts. I dont know if this happens to lots of people, but this is one problem that I have trouble the most in. Maybe this is why I'm a slow writer and don't like to write. When I write, I'm usually in my house sitting right where my computer is. One thing about me is that I hate writing anything with a pen and a paper. Most of the time when writing an essay, report, or anything else, I type it on my computer. I can probably type 50 times faster than writing by hand. I guess it's just something that I'm better at. I can type about 80-85 words per minute. If that isn't fast, then I dont know what is. When writing, I can write when it's quiet, loud, during the day, during the night, and during whatever atmosphere I'm in. Even if the whole house is quiet, I usually listen to music while typing an essay. However, the best time and the best atmosphere for me to write anything would be during...

...want to verified who's the cheater. 2. What does Wenke see as a possible negative consequence of cheating among students today? She said that students cheat because they want an excelente grade or a good job but they dont learn anything so in a future when they need to put on all that knowledge in the real life, they can´t do anything because they dont learn. 3.- Wenke says that the solution to decline the cheating problems is to appreciate the knowledge of a person, rahter than by the grades, this way the student will find it easier to learn for it will be a much easier task to learn and be granted for it, than to just simply be graded over and over again. Questions in writing strategy 1.- The opening paragraph is clearly intended to students who have cheated more than once, it really can catch the attention of anybody that has a related person that cheats. I think that the opening paragraph was very well made and it clearly states the purpose of the entire essay. 2. Wenke cites several outside sources in the course of her essay. What do these sources Contribute to her argument? The references she used, corroborate the arguments of why education has been raped from its own moral awareness, the act of copying, but that also means that people have corrupted the student policies. 3. What is the effect of Wenke's Admission That She herself copied homework from friends in high school? Admission does this add to go detract from Wenke's ethical appeal? Why? albeit...

...AS ITALIAN 2015 LESSON REVIEW AND EXAM GUIDELINES Speaking section The 15 minutes preparation time – as quoted by the excel examintation board and I fully support the same opinion my notes are in brackets() . Before the Unit 1 test, students will have 15 minutes to study a stimulus text linked to the general topic area they have chosen. Students must not write on this stimulus, but can make notes on a separate piece of paper. (Notes on key words you have or want to use- these were previously learnt by you). Both the stimulus and any notes must be taken into the exam room, and students can refer to these at any point during the test. (Preferably not for higher marks but if needed referring to them wont be an issue) However, students must not refer to dictionaries or any other resources during the preparation time. (You wont need a dictionary at this point so no problem here right!) * Begin by reading the entire text through (two, three or even 4 times) * Make bullet point notes of the main points of the text * Make a note of any vocabulary from the text which might be useful in discussion of this topic * Do not waste time writing out complete sentences; you will not be allowed to read out long prepared statements anyway (marks are awarded for spontaneity and fluency so please try not to use your notes) * Consider the types of questions which might be asked about the text, and your answers to these questions * Identify any vocabulary you already...

...not compensate these individuals. The internship programs that Greenhouse reports on oppress both women and men with unfair work expectations and poor opportunities for advancement. With the help of this article and other supporting materials, I will clarify the relationship between these unpaid, exploited students and the material covered in my Women Studies class. In the article, Greenhouse points out that since 1985, the unemployment rate for graduates twenty-four years old and younger has risen 9.4 percent (Greenhouse, 2012). Speculators estimate that this number is increasing so rapidly because of students’ willingness to work for free in internship positions. The article explains this phenomenon stating that many students feel this is the best way to get a foot in the door with a possible future employer. More and more businesses are refusing to hire students who have not completed an internship program. However, Greenhouse explains that even after the completion of an interning program, many students are left uneducated about the type of work done in the field they are hoping to pursue. This point of the article can tie in with an essay read in class titled “Claiming an Education” by Adrienne Rich (1977). In her essay, Rich explains how students must not simply go to school to receive an education, but instead should claim one (1977). Similarly, a student partaking in an internship program that feels unfulfilled in his or...

...The hate side of my relationship with writing stems from school. This is because most of the writing assessments dont allow me to have creative freedom. 9 times out of 10 we have to write about something like why we love school (we don't) or sometime you had to do something specific that you can't remember ever doing. And then when you get to write something that has a plot instead of a 5 paragraph essay about why school shouldn't be start earlier, you have to write from a prompt that sounds like something you would find in a children's story contest. I understand why we are given prompts, i just wish we could have more creativity with them instead of writing with a specific prompt. That is why i partly hate writing. The love side of my...

With the illustration of the physical change you can see how much the trombone has changed. 2) Yale musical instrument series The trumpet John Wallace and Alexander McGrattan Yale Unversity Press New Have and London Copyright 2011 by John Wallace and Alexander McGrattan This book traces the evolution and the colourful performance history f one of the world’s oldest instrument (the trumpet), and how it rise to prominence as a solo instrument, this was a good source in some areas but unfortunately this book lacked on information on physical change, and how these physical changes affected the trumpet in certain area of being a solo instrument. 3) The Trombone Trevor Herbert Yale University Press Copyright 2006 by Trevor Herbert This source was very helpful as it helped me gain more knowledge in exploring the origins of the trombone, its invention in the fifteenth century, but also how the story of the trombones lead up to modern times.

...because when my father passed I promised him that I would get my bachelors because that was his dying wish. Everytime I dont feel like working on homework or turning in an essay, I always just think about him and that gives me the motivation because I know he would be so proud of me. He will be looking down from heaven when I graduate. The second reason is for my daughter. I want to provide the best life for my daughter that I can. I plan on in the years to come to get my Ph.D. For right now, Im just focusing on my Bachelors. I had a very good life growing up. I want my daughter to have the same thing. Looking at her gives me motivation to not just sit around and do nothing. Work is another incentive for me because it helps me pay my bills. It provides me with the nice life I have now. Thats pretty much the reason I work anyways. I do it for the paycheck. Incentives describe the things that motivates and encourage individuals to do something that will give them the reward. For example college for me is my incentive would be college because, I want to work hard to complete my course and my reward would be my graduation. School is very important to me because of a few things which are my son and I and family. I’m the first college graduate on my side of things when it comes to my siblings. My son is my motivation to complete this task, regardless of how tired I get at times this journey must get done. My son watches everything that I do and I do not want to be a talker that...

...affect the individual later in life. According to Bowlby "The operation of this system is affected by an individual’s social experiences, especially with early caregivers, resulting in measurable individual differences in attachment security". Attachment is a special emotional relationship that involves an exchange of comfort, care, and pleasure. Not only does attachment security aid in survival but it also has a huge influence on development, our behaviors and relationships later in life. In the article Attachment Security, Compassion and Altruism a series of studies were done by which it is claimed that compassionate feelings and values, and altruistic behaviors are also affected by the "attachment behavioral system." What I understand from this is if you are neglected of care as an infant it will affect how compassionate or altruistic you are later in life. Theoretically wanting to enhance compassion and altruism in the real world....

...The subject we're dicussing today, i would say is a fairly important subject to the entire United States. The question of EVM's as a alternative to paper written votes, is a discussion and subject that will never be agreed upon. There are both pro's and cons's to each side of EVM machines. I will be laying out some personal views of both pro's and con's of these machines and why i do/dont like them. To begin, i will proceed with my explanation of why i believe EVM's would be a important asset to the voting community. It is my belief that with EVM's it would be entirely easier for those with disabilitys. The ability to comprehend on the elctronic level has become way more advanced in the current millenium. Although it is still a machine, the EVM is advanced in Most foreign languages, making it much easier for immagrants to vote and better understand what they will be voting for. In excess, i believe it would eliminate the time it takes to sort through and process votes by hand, and the resources and people it takes to do so. Imagine the man power that will be...

...The carrying capacity of the planet that we live on has been a debated subject for some time now, ever since mankind became self-aware of the effects it has on earth by pollution and deforestations, people have wondered if Earth could keep existing if the human race continues with living this way and treating the planet like this. Another problem that has been brought up in the last century is overpopulation, there are simply too many people at certain places on the world for their area’s to live on. If we combine these two we get the grand question that this essay is about: “Does mother Earth have the carrying capacity to meet the needs of future population growth?”. I would like to say that the simple answer is no, as there is lots of evidence that our planet can not endure in keeping living conditions for humans optimal, with global warming and pollution damaging the ecosystem. for example: human machines and electrical devices release Cholorofluorocarbons which damage the ozone gases in the ozone layer which protects the humans and other beings from harmful ultraviolet rays. If the ozone layer gets depleted fully the human race will...

The definition of giving up: to admit defeat, to lose all hope, to stop all actions to strive for something you were trying hard to do, to give up something up as lost, and to believe you will not achieve what you strove for. When you persevere through all the hardships, outside influences, and dark thoughts of your mind, it really becomes a life changing moment and a time to show your maturity.
