My Dream Car

...My Dream Car My dream car is made by Ferrari. Ferrari has always been a symbol of speed and prestige as well as elegance. It has even been described as a ‘passion on wheels’. Owning a Ferrari means that you have arrived in style. Only the very rich can even dream of owning a Ferrari. The Ferrari motorcar company is the brainchild of Enzo Ferrari, an Italian who started his career as a small carmaker. The 125 Sport was the first ever Ferrari motorcar. Enzo Ferrari did not intend to build road cars, when he formed the Scuderia Ferrari in 1929. After World War I, Ferrari became a driver on the Alfa-Romeo team. Following a victory at Ravenna, the family of Francesco Baracca, presented him with a small charred plaque. Baracca had died in combat and the plaque was one of the parts of the Ferrari emblem. The Ferrari emblem with a yellow shield with a black horse in the middle is recognized across the world of automobile fanatics. This prancing horse became the symbol of Ferrari and it appeared on all the cars he drove. Ferrari automobiles have been featured in many films and television shows. The Ferrari 250 was in the 1986 movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off driven by Matthew Broderick, the Ferrari 512 driven by Steven McQueen was in the 1971 film Le Mans, the Ferrari Mondial was in 1985 movie Weird Science driven by John Hughes, the Ferrari Daytona appeared in the Miami Vice television shows, driven by Don Johnson, and a replica of the Ferrari F430 was used in the Pixar movie Cars...

My Dream Car

...My dream car When most people think about their dream car, they fantasize and dream cars such as a Lamborghini, Bugatti, Maybach Exelero, Porsche, Lykan Hypersport, Ferrari, Mercedes Benz, Aston Martin One-77, etc. However, some people like to keep it simple. I am one of those people. I do not dream about over the line expensive cars, I dream about a car that fits both my current and future needs as well as what’s best for the planet. My dream car is a Smart fortwo Brabus. This is my dream car because for eight reasons. Those reasons include style, high gas mileage, maneuvers well, the comfortable feeling, easy to clean, I don't have to take someone who I don't want in my car, the storage compartment in the back and technology. I have a car which is named Chevrolet Geo-Metro which was introduced in 1992. It is not a car many teens who be happy to say they own. I have seen many different cars but this car is something different. This car has an engine of 3-Cyl, 1.0 Liter with the 55-79 horsepower and 58-75 lb. of torque. This Geo-Metro has some smooth features in it such as the hard roof, seatbelts that are connected to the windows and its unique shape which gives an edgy look. In addition, the Chevrolet Geo-Metro has manual gears in it. It can catch the speed of 55 mph in a matter of seconds. The fastest car ever right? I know that maybe slow to others. But nowadays there are faster and bigger cars than the Geo-Metro. I have a dream of having a Smart fortwo Brabus...

Individuality

...In the Name of Identity: Who are you? What makes you, you? How are you recognized as a human being? What makes you different than every other person in the world? These questions contribute to your identity regardless of what you look like or where you come from. Every single person in the world is different whether it is visible to others or not. Although we are all different, we connect and form relationships through common ideas, values, and goals. In the novel Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, by Barack Obama, he recalls many different issues involving his identity as a whole in addition to the communities he lived in and principle values he was raised to believe. Throughout the story Obama creates a theme of struggle involving his own identity. He relates these issues towards his own community and explains how certain occurrences shaped his character values and personality. The word individual can be defined in various ways. It is a word that can apply to many different aspects of life as well as raising questions about who exactly we are as individuals and how we became the who we are today. Some factors that contribute to shaping our identities are social, educational, economic and historical. While Obama was growing up, identity was something he struggled with deeply. He was constantly moving, which forced him to experience different communities and ultimately aided in forming his identity. Looking back on it now, it seems beneficial, but at...

Back to School Essay

...Back to School A country thrives when its citizens contribute and make an effort to make the most of what they are offered in life. President Barack Obama is very aware of this and has made it an important subject and goal in his presidential career to inspire youngsters in the right direction, both for their own sake and their country’s. Barack Obamas’ speech “Back to School” at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia was held in September 8, 2009. The age of the present audience varied to children from kindergarten and all the way up to twelfth grade. In addition to that, the speech was also broadcasted to students all over the country. The audience is obviously extremely great, and the speech will therefore have a tremendous impact on several individuals. The first thing Obama seems to focus on in his speech on the first day of the children’s school day are in fact the children themselves. He speaks directly to them, and initiates the whole thing by telling everyone that being nervous is perfectly normal. He has obviously tried it himself when he was their age. Very easily he finds a way to make everyone relate to him by telling stories from his own life. Barack Obama did not grow up under the best circumstances. He was raised by a single mother whom was very passionate about doing what was best for her son. She even sought to homeschool Obama, when he wasn’t at school. She wanted to make sure he would have the best possible future. This particular section of the speech...

...were really placed in law for others? There are rules and laws that are set in place just for people of color or minority and some that are set in place for all if the all fit in the category set forth in that particular law. To this day the law is not equal. Crucial Social and Political incidents When my parents moved our family from Newark, NJ to Piscataway, NJ in the early 70’s, my father wanted to find a place better than where we were coming from. He found a home in an area that the builder was told not to sell to blacks. The builder did not care, he cared that my father had the down payment and he was approved, so the builder let my father buy the home. There was a reason why blacks were not allowed in that area. It all started with the bomb threats, sugar in our car gas tank, screen door torn from off the front door and racial slurs written on the garage doors. That is just the tip of the iceberg. My father told us never to cross to the other side of the road. We could never figure out why, until one day we decided to ride our bikes to the school on the other side of the road. We were at the school no more than five minutes before three police cars pulled and with sirens hailing. They told us to drop the bikes and lay on the ground. He asked us where we stole the bikes from. We told them our father bought them for us. One of the officers then asked us, “Where are the receipts”. (Mind you we were 13, 9, and 8) We told them we did not buy them so we...

Creating an Identity

...Zalvin Prof. Jennifer Crane QU101 9/13/10 Creating An Identity In Dreams from My Father by Barack Obama he talks about his life experiences and how it formed him as a human being. The story also shows his interpretation of what a solid community should consist of, as well as how individuals should interact with each other within the community. Through out his life he was discovering who he was by new meeting people and trying new things. An individual’s identity is formed through life experiences and cannot be sustained because it is ever changing. A community is a group of people that are brought together by friends, family, neighbors, and people with common interests. Communities are important because it gives people a sense of belonging and being wanted. And in Dreams From My Father, those were the needs and values that Barack was searching for. Communities are sustained through shared values, trust, loyalty, and a sense of safety. In a community people have moral responsibilities to other people and the community as a whole. Communities have moral responsibilities to their individual members because they need to keep their community together. Sometimes you get put into situations where you want to look out for yourself rather than the big picture with the community. You have to be able to put others in front of you sometimes so that you can avoid these types of conflicts. My favorite excerpt from the text came when his father was insulted by a man who...

Paper 1

...(beliefs, expectations, or opinions of a particular individual). When inconsistency does exist between these beliefs or attitudes, psychological tension (dissonance) occurs and must be resolved through some action. My personal example of cognitive dissonance is the purchase of a 1996 Mustang I made over the summer. This car was my dream car; it was new, and had all of the features I could ever want. I didn’t have much money but I was so excited that I took out my first loan to buy this beautiful car. However, when it came time for school in the fall, I discovered that it was not the ideal vehicle to drive over the mountains. It was an older car; it didn’t have seatbelts, and was very sluggish traveling over the mountain pass. I was extremely frustrated. Dissonance existed between my belief that I had bought a dream car and that a dream car should have seatbelts and have enough power to make it over a mountain pass. To eliminate this dissonance, I decided to store the car at my parent’s house and only drive the car infrequently. Since then, I have also purchased another car that does have seatbelts and can drive 75mph over the pass. In doing so, I have changed both my behavior and my beliefs. I have changed my belief that it is important for a dream car to have seatbelts and drive over a...

Dream

...Andrew Davis English 101.008 Pease Final Essay #8 12/12/10 Dreams “Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.” This is a great quote from Epicurus and it touches on the idea that you can achieve the goals you have set for yourself now just as you did with the things you have accomplished that were once dreams themselves. I agree with this idea and this quote. It is applicable with things as small as a to-do list all the way to aspirations as high as the job, woman, and life of your dreams. I myself have three different kinds of dreams. There are the dreams I have while I’m lying in my bed sleeping where I wake up, adjust back to reality, and forget about the dream all together. There are the dreams I have of things I intend to do in my future, such as graduating, getting married, and eventually having kids of my own. Then there is the third kind, the “If you could have anything” dreams. To answer this question, you have to focus on it because it’s not usually something someone can easily just come up with off the top of their head. The story of my dream where I could have absolutely anything I want would go a little something like this. On a warm fall night, I’m sitting in my parked car with windows down, letting the breeze flow through the car. My beautiful wife of thirteen years is holding my hand as we ramble back and forth about both of our days. What’s special about this...

Dare to Dream

...Dare To Dream The beauty of dreaming is amazing, it can take you anywhere in reality.  What I dream of is a goal to be set, it is a journey to be taken. When I dream, I force myself to take the challenge and walk into unknown grounds to bring everything I dream into a reality. Some of these day time dreams would come to reality, like the time I dreamed of becoming good in math, but some dreams are not meant to be and other could be way to far from our hands. Some when realized fulfill you of happiness and you just want to live in that moment. I believe that dreams are like a treasure to be search for and discovered.  The first time I found myself chasing my dreams was when I was in the fifth grade. It all started by the middle of the last semester, we were learning long division, but my background in math was really bad. I was lucky to know how to add. I was never a good student, but it was difficult for me to concentrate and pay attention. During class I would picture myself being the best in every subject, especially math. I desired that dream to be true more than anything, so I decided to bring it to life. First I tried to concentrate, but it was difficult. Months passed and I kept struggling with long divisions. One day I was trying to solve a long division for my homework, I started to analyze the equation and ask myself questions about it, then I discovered how to solve them. At the end of the year I was awarded a diploma for my achievement in math. Ever since, I...

Personal Statement

...become a mechanical engineer ever since the first time I saw a Formula One racing car on TV. There was something special about the car that captured my interest. I admired the skillful drivers, but I was more drawn to the person who made the car. My father told me only mechanical engineers are able to design machines that complex. In that moment, I decided to study mechanical engineering so that I could design the best cars in the future. When I discovered physics in high school, I realized how exciting it was to focus on a subject I liked. The deeper I studied physics, the more passionate I became. My growing interest helped me make my decision to study abroad in the United States. I know that the U.S. has the most advanced engineering technology in the world, so I am excited by the possibility of continuing my education there. My parents support the idea wholeheartedly. In all the generations of my family, I will be the first to attend college—they would be proud if I pursued my studies in the United States. While there have been many events in college that have convinced me I am well-suited for the study of mechanical engineering—such as building a “mouse trap car” during a physics class I took—my interests have been shaped most dramatically by a college robot competition. The robot competition took three weeks to complete. It was the first time I tried to build a model robot, but my mentor in the project taught me everything I needed to know. Professor Mason took...

Dreaming According to the Dream Activation Synthesis Theory

...“Analysis dreaming according to the dream activation synthesis theory” The activation-synthesis theory explains us that the messages of dreams are not a meaning. They are only processing of brain system when we sleep. The chemicals in the brain transmit message from one nerve cell to another. This electrical energy randomly stimulates memories found in various area of the brain. Also, we have a need to make sense of our world and even while asleep. The brain takes these chaotic memories and creates a logical story line. This theory best explains my dream which I will describe as follows. In my dream, I met giant cockroaches which were taller than I was. I felt very scared because they were very big and they tried to attack me. I ran fast but I could not escape since there were many of them. Then I woke up with a start. On another day, I dreamed that I was driving on the road skillfully and quickly. While I drove past many cars from left to right and right to left, I felt very proud of my driving skill. Therefore, I will show the relation between real life and dream. In the first case, I had seen a cockroach while taking a shower before going to bed. It ran to my leg, and I very do not like them. That represents my concerns about cockroaches and I clearly remember according to the activation synthesis theory. The second dream happened when I was young. I wanted to be a sports car driver in that time because I thought it was very smart. Also at that time, I think about them...

The Interpretation of the Unconscious Mind

...bath. What!? These are the kind of silly and seemingly unexplainable instances that occur in our unconscious sleep every night when we go to bed. Contrary to what you may think, these ridiculous dreams that almost resemble cartoons more than real life, do actually have a significant impact on our emotional state, and for the most part are based on our own anxieties, desires, and memories. In this essay I’m going to attempt to analyze a current dream I’ve had and interpret the meaning and origin of this dream using the sources available to me. I’m standing on a steep grass hill, looking out over a shallow and narrow valley that appears to have been cut of the landscape like a spoon would do to a tub of ice cream. Inside this crevice is a highway I’ve never seen before, with cars zooming down the road at high speeds. Above the highway is an overpassing bridge with more fast and noisy cars. On the opposite side of this speedway that I’m standing along is my beloved dog, who I’ve raised since he was six weeks old. He’s going into traffic and I’m scrambling to get to him on the other side of this speedway, but there’s too many cars coming for me to get across. Just before it seems my dog is going to become road kill, or I’m going to be flattened trying to save him, I either woke up or the dream stopped and switched to something else. So what does this mean? Sigmund Freud, who was a pioneer for...

...first sight. Lexus has long been a luxury car contributor to the motoring world, so when it was announced that they have been working on a 200mph supercar, I was quite skeptical about it. I mean, Lexus? With a supercar? Is it going to be hideous? Is it going to be a total failure? Is it going to tarnish their name altogether? There were the ones who thought it would be a step too high, and then there were the people who were pretty excited as to how this supercar would actually turn out afterall. Either way, in one way or another, everyone wanted to see what this 200mph lexus supercar was going to be all about. Did lexus pull this one off? First came the figures.A naturally aspirated V10 engine, 552 bhp, six-speed automated sequential gearbox, top speed of 203mph, 0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds. Not bad, sounds like a proper supercar to me. Then came the price,a whopping US$375,000. We all know Lexus is technically Toyota and they weren’t the best at making supercars before this. So to command a hefty price tag for something this company has never tried before (a shot at a 200mph supercar that is), I hoped for the best nevertheless. The Lexus LFA was unveiled on the 21st of October 2009 at the 41st biennial Tokyo Motor Show. A white supercar with a carbon fiber roof and a rear spoiler that would automatically be deployed at speeds above 50mph. I fell in love with the car the moment I saw the pictures. Before this, no supercar was my dream car, the Ferraris and Lamborghinis were just...

He had a larger amount of drive and passion within him to realize his dream. Also by the implementation of the assembly line and then the moving assembly line shows us how organized and how good a planner Ford was. On the Myers-Briggs type Indicator (MBTI), individuals are classified as extraverted or introverted (E or I), Sensing or intuitive (S or N), thinking or feeling (T or F) and judging or perceiving (J or P). Henry Ford is believed to be an ISTJ which stands for introverted, sensing, thinking and judging. Introversion is how he directed his energy and related to his employees and also the world around him. Sensing is how he focused on the details rather than thinking about abstract information. Thinking is how he made his decisions based on logic thinking and not on personal feelings. Judging is how he oriented himself with his organization and employees and how he planned things out well in advance. He experimented with petrol driven engines and horseless carriages for years and in June 1896, his experiments finally yielded results, a self driven vehicle called “Quadricycle”. He had built a complete car with bare hands and later sold it for $200 to fund his further experiments. Henry Ford had a positive core self- evaluation which is that he performed better because...

Interview with Vet

...animal hospital is located down route 66 past the car dealerships and across the street from goodwill. I’ve been taken my cat there several times and Dr. Donald S. Mac Kenzie is her current vet. I have had the chance to get to know one of veterinarian assistances Victoria Prim and understand what role she plays in the hospital as well get sense for her goals for the hospital. It was 5:45pm on some Tuesday and I was on my way to pick up Victoria from work at six. I had several questions written down but wanted to approach them in a very casual manner. Like normal there is no one parked in the lot as I pull up. I would later learn that they don’t make appointments after 5pm they leave a specific time “window” for emergencies and on call assignments. I walked through the two sets of doors and see Victoria sitting being the desk bag under arm and ready to leave. Behind the counter a dog that was recovering from animal abuse arose, a gray worn out old pit bull. He begins to snarl and growl at me, he doesn’t quiet let off a couple barks but the look in his eye was prepared. Confused at the dog’s reaction I walked right back out of those doors and waited for Victoria. Victoria responded to my confused look with “Its because you’re a guy, she was abused by several men and now how a phobia towards them.” I thought to myself how strange it was for a dog to be sexes and what kind of environment would cause that. We made our way to my car and I asked Victoria some background information...
