...Personal statement Firstly, I am terribly sorry for this matter to have taken up your time. This is Lin shiyue, and my student number is 4463432. I had received the information that I have an academic misconduct in MGMT316 final examination on 14th November. At the end, the exam team tells me that I had communicated with other student during the MGMT316 exam. However, I do not agree. I am pretty sure I did not speak any words during the whole exam. I do not know what does the exam supervisor see. And I think that I need to fill your in what happened and state the whole accident thus and so. When I finished the exam, I prepared to hand in my paper, and then I back in the seat to look around, my goal is to find the teacher to hand in the exam paper. And I had eye contact with supervisor as I intended to submit my exam paper, and I am sure this supervisor had seen me. However at the same time, I realized just have ten minutes left. So I turn back. Later, when I backed the seat again and waiting for hand in paper, the supervisor come and taken my student ID. I am depressed when I received this information, and I questioned why she said I had communicated with other student. Thus I want to provide some supporting information to evaluate I am telling the truth. At first, obviously, space between table and table is narrow, when I back in the seat; my back is extremely close to the table behind me. Second, when I had eye contact with supervisor, she stand...

...“DBQ” What’s the last thing you want to hear in your hardest class when you already have plenty of assignments to turn in? Surprise, we are having a DBQ! At first, I was a little confused because I did not know what a DBQ was or how to complete it. Was it a test? Was it a group project? Would it be fun, or boring? Borning, definitely boring. When Mrs. Richards told us we were going to answer questions and form an opinion about a topic, I thought, “this is going to be easy, I form opinions all the time.” A few days later while I was working on it I asked my friend how he was doing on it, and he told me he already finished it. I thought to myself, “how can he be finished when it was only assigned,...

...My summer was waking up every morning for a whole week in Chicago to practice and compete for an ice skating competition. As a 13 year old it was certainly not a vacation I was looking forward to. I want to be a better ice skater by doing more competitions than I am comfortable with, but at the exact time I don’t. I tend to pressure myself a lot when it comes to competing. Making my family and including my self proud is what I always tend to achieve, but it overwhelms me and provides me even more pressure. On the morning that we had a flight to Chicago we prepared our luggage and drove to the Airport. We checked the luggage in and got on the plane. A few hours later we landed in the Chicago O’hare Airport. We then got off the plane,...

...important. I have to think about what kind of illustration I want, and what kind of message I want to convey. Because it's only a single illustration, from there the viewer will imagine what kind of scene or story is taking place, so I have to consider the composition and the characters' expressions. (For example, "These two are in the helicopter's searchlight and are being chased across the rooftops...!" or "These two are heading to a formal party♪ They'll be drinking champagne♪") There have been plenty of times when it took me several days to draw countless rough sketches until I made one that I liked (^^; If I don't decide the lines for inking during the rough sketch stage, I'll mess up later on. [Underdrawing] Once I've decided on the rough sketch, I take the paper that I'll do the coloring on and attach the rough sketch underneath, then use a light table to reproduce the drawing. However, even if I trace the illuminated image, I'll never get exactly the same drawing... The characters' expressions that I've spent so much time deciding on will end up changing a little at this stage, so I make some minute adjustments while taking care to not damage the paper. The paper I use is gentle and becomes fuzzy easily, so I have to be very mindful. That's because when you apply color ink to a damaged part, it won't turn out pretty. There have often been times when the paper becomes fuzzy despite great effort. I'm the type who gets irritated easily, so I keep working...

...Henry Ford, was an American industrialist who was born in the early 1860. As a young boy, Henry worked as a farm boy and he was very unsatisfied. At the age of 16, he decided to leave home to work in as a machinist in Detroit. In later years, he learned how to skillfully operate service steam engines. Henry Ford was also, the sponsor of the development called the Assembly Line. Henry Ford soon got married in 1888 to Clara Ala Bryant and had their first child named Edsel Bryant Ford. Henry Ford once said, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, either way you’re right.” He made this quote valid by saying in the quote ‘Think.’ When he was a tad bit younger his father gave him a pocket watch that he soon took apart. Henry immediately...

...However, these letters in different combinations are a mystery to me. I’m just wishing I had a decoder ring like orphan Annie did, or an enigma, maybe that way I could decipher the secret of this hidden message that is before me. All I can see is groups of letters; an alphabet soup of sorts. This is the way I felt while in the first grade. The teacher had set a progress report on my table that was to be handed to my parents. I ran all the way home exited and impatient. I don’t even remember looking both ways when crossing streets along the way. I just wanted to get home as fast as I could. As soon as I arrived, I just flung the door open and ran into the house searching for my mother. I found her in the laundry room folding clothes that she had just finished ironing. At home, my family always spoke Spanish, English was hardly if ever used. So I practically threw the progress card toward her. “Mama mira lo que me dio la profesora para ti!” My mother took the card and looked at it. Then she flipped it over and looked at it again. She had a puzzled look on her face as she turned it back to the front. I just looked up at her with big round eyes waiting for an explanation as to the secret that it held. “Que es lo que dice?” “Se lo daremos a tu padre cuando llege.” “Pero que dice?” “Tendras que esperarte.” Great, why won’t she tell me, what the big secret is? I will have to wait for my dad to get done playing G.I. Joe. That is what he called being in the Army. The grandfather...

...The Stump to My World by E. Litchfield One nice summer day I was looking for something to do. I was your average sandy brown haired 8 year old and I was bored. I walked around the house head hanging low just wishing for some excitement to happen. But nothing was happening. So then I made my way to the kitchen where I could smell something yummy cooking. I love it when my mom makes yummies. Maybe I could help her by tasting whatever she is making. Upon my arrival and growing excitement to help her by tasting what she was making, I was refused. She promptly told me they were for later after dinner. Dinner now seemed very far away. So now I am hungry and bored. I then made my way to the living room where my dad was reading some sort of magazine. I asked him what he was reading and if he could tell me about it. He told me it was important instructions for gardening and could not be disturbed right now. He then suggested I go check on my mom’s cooking or go outside and find something to do. Now I am back to being bored and hungry and headed back in to the kitchen. When I got to the kitchen my mom asked why I had returned. I told her dad sent me to check on what she was cooking. She told me nice try, why don’t you go outside and find something to do. So she brushed the hair out of my eyes and sent me on my way. So I finally went out our back door to find something to do. I took a few steps to the front center of my backyard where an old stump stood. I leaned against...

...I find the smell of fresh fabric one of the most intoxicating and wonderful smells in the world. It's almost as euphoric as the smell of cookies and cream ice cream, but can't hold a candle to the the smell of a brand new book (which, by the way, is my favorite scent in the world). To be completely honest, I don't know what makes me love the scent of crisply ironed cotton or satin. But if I could guess, I would infer that it comes from the association to fabric stores and memories of walking into one. When I was younger, and still now, it was a mix of the vibrant colors, the possibilities behind each, and aroma given off. I can't honestly say that my love of sewing is a love that "has been there for as long as I can remember." In fact, I can date the start of my...

...outline before writing a research paper. An outline helps the writer organize his or her thoughts and ideas that they feel are important. An outline is considered the skeleton or backbone of any research paper. Outlining before writing your rough draft will help you identify which topics are important and which information is considered supporting ideas. Remember an outline has five major parts that it should consist of: Introduction, three key points, and a conclusion. The introduction should include your thesis statement and any background information that you might have gathered. A thesis statement is the main topic and explains to your readers what yours views are on this topic. The three key points are topics that are important and support your thesis statement. The conclusion is the final paragraph and its function is to basically bring the paper to a close and restating the writer’s views on the topic. Some people use this paragraph to restate their thesis statement. Some people create a formal outline but you don’t have to do that before writing your rough. I basically write down or highlight all the things that I think are important points in the chapter. Your outline can either be written in full sentences or in incomplete phrases as long as you can understand what you are trying to express. If you write your key points in full sentences it will help your later when you are writing your rough draft and final paper. When writing your outline it will...

...them help define and build their character. As fore me, I have been faced with many obstacles in my life, but one in particular comes to mind: writing essays. For some people, writing is a chance to let their ideas and opinions flow on a piece of paper. Yet to others, like me, writing is difficult and I find it hard to let go and obtain a rhythm of words. As I write essays, I constantly stop to think of the best way to express my thoughts and use the right words to explain them; it doesn’t just come to me. That’s why when my English teacher, Ms. Poth, told us we’d be writing an in-class essay, I freaked. I immediately started to doubt myself and became frustrated because I told myself I wasn’t going to be able to do this. I kept thinking these thoughts until a few minutes later when I recognized how negative I was being. At that point, I decided to turn my attitude around and not give up that easily. I realized that with a positive mental attitude and some preparation for the task ahead of me, I could actually get through this essay with at least a B. After Ms. Poth had told us about our in-class essay, she explained to the class that she wouldn’t let us know the question on which we were to write about. However, she did give us some hints to what the topic would be about. She emphasized that we should review the stories of the Angle-Saxon Period and the Medieval Period. That was when the light bulb turned on in my head; I was going to review the literature of those time periods...

...D is for Duet When I was in 5th grade my friend, Hannah and I did a duet for dance. We both had been doing dance and tumbling for a long time at the same dance studio. Over the past few years, we were getting to be better and better friends. One time when we were at dance we saw something that was telling information about duets, solos, and any other small dance group tryouts. After seeing this we decided that it would be fun to do a duet together. Both of us told our moms about this and my mom asked the dance teacher if Hannah and I were ready to do a duet. Our dance teacher said that yes she thinks it would be fun for us to tryout. As soon as we both knew this, we began thinking what kind of duet we wanted to do. The two of us...

...has done to her makes her suffering a lot. When I read this article, my childhood also has some dark memories that I did not want it happened to me again. When I was 12 years old, this was the time to go to junior school in China. The Chinese education system force students to very hard and compete with each other. Students needs to study sine 6am till 10pm everyday to study all kinds of subjects. And most of parents want their children to go to top schooling their city in order to have a promising future. With a huge amount of students but limited best schools, not all the students can make their "best school" dreams come true. So the entrance exam is the only way to pick students who want to go to the best school. Fortunately, I was 1000 of 10000 students who passed the exam. However if i had a chance to chose again, i would rather not pass that exam. What I had experienced made me feel so upset and lonely. The Foreign Languages School, one of the best schools in my hometown, was a boarding school. Students only had 4 days off to home per month. I lived with my grandparents in countryside before and my parents seldom had time to spent with me. I didn't got too much attention and care or love from my parents since i was young. When they finaly had time with me but i could not go home often because of the boarding school. That school made me lost opportunity living with my parents. I had to adapt my new life in boarding school. When i first came to class,...

...Sea Wee 10/22/11 Oral & Written Communication How To Speech How to make a Piñata Hello, my name is Sea Wee and as you may know I am a fellow classmate. Today I shall be demonstrating how to make a piñata. The piñata is basically a colorful cardboard container filled with small toys and/or candy and then broken as part of a ceremony or celebration. Beating a piñata became a famous international party event and is mostly associated with Mexico but its origins are considered to be in China. I will be showing how to make a custom piñata. You will need newspapers, two cups of flour, three cups of water, a balloon, two bowls (one big enough to hold a balloon), a spoon, blank sheets of paper, three tablespoons of cooking oil, a knife, paint or other decoration tools, crepe paper, strings, and finally candy or other goodies. First, lay down a sheet of newspaper on the floor and tear several pages of newspaper into strips. Then, get the two cups of flour and three cups of water. Next, mix them in a bowl until it forms a thick-glue paste. After that, inflate the balloon and rub a little cooking oil on it so the balloon would easily get off the paper when you later pop it. Place the balloon in the other bowl to prevent it from rolling while you work. Now soak the newspaper strips in the flour-water mixture and put the strips all over the balloon leaving a hole only at the top of the balloon. Leave it to dry. Then, after it dried, add another layer of newspaper on the balloon and...
