...I remember as a young child my parents, teachers, and tutor always saying " read the book" and I didn't. I thought that it was just silly to do so and that it wasn't necessary, especially since the teachers would always teach us what was in the book. Now that I am older and have to read more documents and sign more papers on my own, I see why it is important to learn how to read. Most of what we learn is through reading. The more we read, the more we know and the more we are able to remember. Through reading comes knowledge. When we read, our brain processes the information and stores it as memory. This gives us more knowledge because after reading any kind of material several times, we will have eventually learned it and remember it more. This is because our...

...I remember being 14 in my freshmen year of high school. I not only remember my unnecessarily short hair and makeup free face but also how afraid I was. I didn't know what to expect and I was scared of the future. I didn't want to think about classes, finals, college, and life after school. The thought of all that frightened me. I remember feeling stuck. I couldn't possibly see myself being an "adult". I thought that high school was the beginning of the rest of my life. I thought that the bullying, the rumors, the "in" crowd, and my grades would be with me for the rest of my life. I never imagined life getting better. I went through times that made it even more difficult to believe that it would get better. But I was wrong about high school being the beginning of it all and I was wrong about it not getting better, because throughout the years somehow life did....

So I strongly believe that most people do not honor Cesar Chavez enough as they should. I believe that they may not honor Cesar Chavez enough since most of his memorial sites are rundown, some of the sites are actually forgotten or obsolete, and lastly people have forgotten or do not care for Cesar Chavez enough...

...Cell Biology An Introduction to Cell Biology Membranes: Basic Structure Page [1 of 2] I hope you guys are getting the idea that membranes are important. Membranes are unbelievably important when it comes to the study of the eukaryotic cell. Everything we talk about, membranes are going to be involved. I’m trying to be gentle with this vocabulary, but there’s no way we can get around it. When I refer to things, when biologists refer to things, it’s like a classification system. You guys know the whole story of why we call things by their scientific name. Well, it’s the same thing with cell parts. There’s a vocabulary that goes with the cell, and you’re just going to have to tough it out and learn it. But you know what? It makes sense. Learn to dissect those words. Now, the plasma membrane in an animal cell, or in a plant cell, separates the cell from its exterior, but the membranes in the cell also separate the parts of the membrane in closed organelles from the environment of the cell. Well, when we talk about some of the functions of membrane, we’re going to refer to the cytosol and the cytoplasm, and let’s just get those words out of the way. The cytoplasm is what we refer to as all of the material inside of the cell between the plasma membrane and the nucleus. So, for example, you will find many organelles in the cytoplasm, and the cytoplasm has a liquid in it called the cytosol – “cyto” solution. “Cyto” means cell. So we have the cytoplasm, kind of plasma; cytosol is the...

...I awoke. my memories all flooded back to me punching me in the stomach. I remember freezing and dropping to the floor i could hear but i couldn't see i remember as my legs began to give way and i went tumbling down like a rag doll being discarded by a busy playing child also bringing from my recollection my sisters birthday cake with me as well. i remember my legs began to feel weak and shake, with an uncertainty of gravity, it had happened before so i discarded my weak knees. I had always been a clumsy child always faighting and getting hurt, but this time, this time i fell. I had no power to stop it, i was a doll lifeless to all around me. I remember the screams and i remember trying to speak, to tell my hysterical mother and older sister sally that I was okay.

...High School Graduation Speech Now that we are graduating I believe this time that we, class of 2014 fine tell all the people cheering on tonight but most importantly our parents three words we swore we will never say you were right. Now today, class of 2014 I challenge you to reflect on your past four years, remember who you are, where you are from, and what you represent. There’s this rumor that high school changes who you are and truth is I agree. Four years can really change a person just as Miley Cyrus because when we are freshmen she was a Disney star who was Hannah Montana riding horses and singing hoe down throw down, but now she rides wrecking balls. Although were change has been a drastic we are the naïve freshmen we once were when we first walked in as 15 year olds very awkward looking forward for the best years of our life. However, we seem realize that high school was not like High School Musical and all these singing and dancing and laughter usually ended as with crying on the way that IBCA everyday and trying to hide behind the bleachers to avoid the dreaded mile on PE. And not even next to classified school survival guide can prepare us for the horror of math excel. Since freshmen year we even change our styles and let’s take a moment to apologize to our parents for having to walk to that headache trap we called abracrombi freshmen over year. And now it’s instagram, twitter, and snapchat and if you don’t update each of them daily people will question your...

...Amit's First Candy In this essay I will be talking about my experience regarding my first candy. I don’t remember exactly when, where and which candy I had. However, I still remember my aunt used to bring me lots of candies and those candies were always special. These candies were special because they were brought from abroad. My aunt lived in Canada. And the candies in Canada, in comparison to the candies in India tasted different. I still remember how I used to wait for my aunt to come home and bring me candies. I love eating candies.

I would have the urge to eat candies, when I saw other children eating candies. I still remember how I used to fight with my siblings for candy. And I always won the fights and had the most candy. Even though we are grown up, we still fight over small things like candy just for fun. It is hard to believe that we used to cry when we didn’t get the same amount of candy divided amongst my cousins and I. It wasn’t easy to share the candy fairly. We...

...important are books in your life? I would like to show how important they are and can be for you in the future. Through reading them or just looking at the pictures. When you first look at a book, you may wonder how the plot will turn out. The first stage of this book talks about burning a book. Stage one- “Do you mind if I ask? How long’ve you worked at being a fireman?” “Since I was twenty, ten years ago.” “Did you ever read any of the books you burn?’ He laughed “That’s against the law!” (Page 5) How would you feel if your books were burned? I am glad that they are not against the law. With a book you could have quite a fire or start a fire with books. I really like reading books that you can understand and know the truth of...

...small. I was asleep when the phone rang; I knew it was going to be my sister again so I didn’t even bother to pick it up. At the time she wouldn’t stop begging me to go to America to visit her or even stay if I wanted, but I would definitely not leave the comfort of everything I had. I mean I had my husband, my family, and my life built here and I knew that going to America would mean starting all over. I remember being lost in my thoughts when I realized my husband wasn’t home, It was a little odd because at that moment I was pretty sure he didn’t have work. I decided to go look for him, I remember feeling a lost puppy who needed someone; anyone to be there to guide them. I remember looking out the window and feeling my world shatter into a million pieces. I couldn’t hear anything because my heart was beating out of my chest and the tears would...

...happen to anybody. You must make the best of your life and live a happy life with no regrets, so if this were to ever happen at least you lived your life to the fullest. Your family will have something to remember you for and even if you cannot remember these memories everybody will remember who you once were. First the old man married the love of his life and was ready to be with her forever, and remember all of the good memories that they would have together. The man faced an unexpected turn in his life, and was completely defenseless of what the outcome was going to be. He was put into the hospital and was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. This disease basically erases somebody’s brain, and makes them think like a child and forget how to do everything they once could do with no problem at all. The man now unable to read acts like a child as leaves the hospital that was his temporary home for a while. When he leaves, he walks up to the house that he remembers being his at one time.

...MTV Now vs before Most people remember the MTV as the channel as one could turn on and watch actual music videos all day long and represented its title in MTV standing for music television. Nowadays it is rare to turn on MTV and watch a video at all. Instead of a video anymore is reality shows and talk shows that don’t relate with music at all. People counted on them to provide the latest videos, the hottest information to keep them up with your favorite musicians. Personally I am disappointed whenever I turn on MTV because there is never music playing which was the reason that I watched MTV in the first place. Any person can easily look at the schedule for the day in the TV guide and see nothing on MTV channel relating to music. Now all you see is stupid reality shows. Before there were not very many shows at all but the ones that there were more about music news, concerts upcoming events, or occasionally a controversial show such as, Beavis and Butthead. Which in its day posed a problem for the rather conservative. The rest of the time it was all straight music and videos. Nowadays instead of being able to watch all your favorite videos on MTV you must have access to the Internet with a lot of people do not have. If there is access the Internet you can watch all of your videos on you tube. I even took a small survey and fourteen out of twenty people I asked don’t even remember seeing videos on music television nor do they remember sex and profanity prohibited which proves...
