...In many ways 5-year-old me and me, as I see myself today, are very similar in terms of psyche. If by some bizarre anomaly five-year-old me were to meet the current me as I am today he would hopefully be overjoyed that I stayed true to my nature. He would also probably remind me to let go every once in a while and have fun. Both present me and five-year-old me are extremely inquisitive, ambitious, and above all compassionate individuals. The only difference between me and that naïve little boy would be the cumulative experience and knowledge that I have acquired since being five. As a five year old I can remember constantly pestering my dad with questions ranging from “Why are trees green?” and “Why is the water blue?” to the occasional “Why is your hair turning grey?”....

...Math-144 December 8, 2015 Professor Mission Project B On This mission trip we are heading to Viedma Argentina. There will be 10 people going including myself and we will stay for a total of 4 weeks. The purpose of our mission trip is to bring supplies to the poor people of this country. The reason I chose Argentina is because of its economic issues in regards to there being so many people living in poverty (Reed, D. 2014). The supplies we will be bringing will be all donated items from churches and from different companies. This includes clothes, food, toys, pampers, toiletries, school supplies, household items (pots, dishes etc), and linens. These supplies will be sent over ahead of time eliminating us having to bring it ourselves. I will break down the total amount of expenses needed to cover this trip to make sure we are on budget and covered in every aspect. A flight to Viedma Argentina costs $3,185.60 per person round trip from May 16th until June 13th, I found this price on the Priceline website. For ten people this will cost $31,856. The flight will take 25 hours and 19 minutes from Savannah, Ga to Viedma because there will be 3 different layover stops. For our lodging instead of booking a hotel I chose to find a vacation rental because hotels don’t have kitchens in the rooms and room service will eventually be more costly. The home, Casa balneario el condor Viedma costs $130 per night instead of per person, per night at the hotels. For the duration of 27 nights the...

...week it was only a slight cool breeze. The snow was 9 inches on the ground. It was just so beautiful outside. It reminded me of a snow globe or a plush white mink coat covering my middle class neighborhood. I remember those icicles being all over the houses on my street from front to back because my friends and I would imagine that they were diamonds. Well, the girls imagined large gems. The boys played swords with the ice. They looked more like knives but I enjoyed their male antics anyway. I was very lively and full of vigor, except when I stepped inside my home. I played with friends or by myself. I was only 7 years old at the time and being outside in the snow was a refuge from being in the house with my mentally ill mother. At the time I hadn't (had not) realized that she was “sick”, I just knew that my mother was unusually cruel. I knew in my heart that she was mean but I chose to overlook her faults because-well, I really do not know. Maybe it was because I had enough friends to take my focus off of what was going on at home or maybe it was my father. He would take my sister and I every weekend and holidays with him. Papa would take my sister and I to visit my grandparents (his parents) many times. My grandmother cooked the best delicious foods. She was tall in stature with beautiful, soft brown skin and a smile that let me know that I was loved. My grandfather had eyes that...

...quite frankly, I screwed up in mainstream schooling but that’s a whole other story for another day, that hopefully will never come. So besides the fact that I messed up, I am homeschooling because I am able to work at my own pace and not have to worry about competition between myself and other students, as well as the fact that, I actually get to spend 9 hours with people I actually want to be around, how kiff is that? Not bragging or anything, but our school is way better than any mainstream school. Diana’s homeschooling academy has not only given me a sense of responsibility and independence in a way, but it’s also given me hope. A hope that one day I’ll be able to achieve great things, things that I would have never been able to discover in any other environment. This school has also given me the opportunity to start finding myself, the true me, not the me that teachers, students, parents (no offence mom and dad) have wanted me to be. This classroom. Damn where to start. This classroom has been an absolute privilege and blessing that we can only thank two people for, God and one of my greatest inspirations, Gerry. Going from a dark, cold garage to a small corner to this, has been a huge transformation, it has given it an even...

...require a little bit more thought process behind them. Understanding how people arrive at their choices/decisions is an area that has received a lot of attention. Theories have been generated to explain how people make decisions, and what types of factors influence decision making in the present and future. There are several factors that also influence decision making. These may include “past experiences, cognitive biases, age and individual differences, belief in personal relevance, and an escalation of commitment” (Dietrich, n.d.). Understanding these factors may help us understand their impact on the decision’s outcome. One of the recent, most significant, decision making process that went awry for me was related to the car that I currently drive. About three years ago, my wife and I decided to purchase a new car. However, like most people, we were immediately faced with a tough choice of weather to finance or lease our purchase. Not having had an opportunity to purchase a brand new car in the past, I lacked the proper knowledge behind the concept of leasing a car. Historically I only had an option of financing, or right out buying the used car. In a typical decision making process there are five general steps; identify your goal, gather information for weighing your options, consider the consequences, make your decision, and evaluate your decision (Gray, 2011). In my particular scenario, my goal was clearly defined as to buy a new Audi A4 Sedan, while finding the most...

...Bennie Mclaughlin my 5 year plan ap 165 How often do we sit down and ask ourselves, “what will I be doing in 5 years”? For me I had to sit down and really think about where I see myself going in this field because there are a ton of possibilities. I could just get a simple job, work from home, go to client’s houses, and go back to school. In 5 years I see myself doing all of those things but ultimately starting my own business in massage therapy. After I complete the program I want to look for employment as soon as possible. Of course to make ends meat for home, but mostly to gain even more experience in my profession. Only thru hands on experiences from different people will I truly get the feel for what im doing. I wouldn’t mind giving special massages to pregnant women, who i know deal with a lot of uncomfortable and painful situations due to the baby growing and making constant changes to their body. Knowing I can ease some of the tension they are feeling would be a good feeling for me and I’m pretty sure they would appreciate it as well. Having a baby is a big responsibility and if I could make that experience less painful and or help with a medical situation I would consider that a big step forward in my goal. Also helping military is another job I would look for in my massage therapy profession. These people lay there life on the line for our country and some go overseas and come back sore, drained and some injured. I would love to help ease there mind if possible...
