...Thanksgiving Introduction Thanksgiving is a traditional annual celebration and it is celebrated on the United States and Canada. In the United States is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November and in Canada is celebrated on the second Monday of October. Generally during this holiday people gather around a table with family and friends to celebrate this day. Thanksgiving has a different meaning for some people, but for most of them is synonymous of huge meals, parades, football match and spending quality time with the beloved ones. This holiday is not only about cooking delicious dishes and spending time with family but also is a reminder of being thankful for all the blessings in our lives. More than half of American families celebrate thanksgiving. History The Thanksgiving Day had its origins in a mixture of European and aboriginal traditions. Both cultures had their own different way of celebrating the harvest day, but when the Europeans came to America for the first time; they brought their own tradition better known as the harvest festival which celebrates the end of their journey as well as the good harvest of the year. Despite the origins of Thanksgiving Day, this holiday is similar in Canada and the United States but everyone celebrates it in their own way. The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621; where a group of 102 people (the pilgrims) from England arrived to the new world. They found a village called Plymouth. As the winter came along and diseases...

...from the precipitation and you can feel the cool air gently fan across your whole entire body. Not only that, but later in September, the leaves start to turn into the beautiful array of sunburst orange, medallion yellow and cherry red, and when the leaves start to fall onto the cold hard ground, you can feel and hear the crunch of the leaves beneath your feet. The cool air is so crisp and refreshing; you can feel the slight wind of the cool air tingle your cheeks lightly. The weather is not to cold and not too warm, it is just the perfect measure of both. It is lovely. Not only is the sight of fall beautiful, the different aromas in the air are just as pleasing. Fall has such a unique smell in the air.

...What is my favorite thing about fall? My absolute favorite thing about fall is The Ohio State University football games. When football season starts, I know it's fall. I also like the other parts of fall like fall food, autumn decorations and shopping for fall clothes. In the fall, I like to go to an OSU football game. There's something about watching a football game in the stadium that makes everything better. When The Ohio State team wins, you can hear the victory bell ring for what seems like forever. I like seeing the whole game in person. Sometimes you miss things watching it on tv. At half time, you can see the band and see OSU honor people like those in the army for their service. You can also see Urban Meyer get angry or happy when...

...didn’t think I would make it this far, I went to the help of my youth group and community for assistance. The end goal for this project was to create a lasting relationship between the the elderly and youth through fun activities that people of all ages could enjoy. Some of them included karaoke, trivia, and pumpkin carving, which happened to be my favorite, because it reached out to the elderly in the community that couldn’t get out on their own, but still got to be apart of everything that we did. From my silver award I had grown a relationship with my local nursing home, and I got to see that they don’t receive many visitors on a daily basis so I wanted to do something special for them that would get them in the holiday spirit. After the pumpkin carving and decorating activity was over, instead of throwing away all of our hard work we decided to deliver the pumpkins to the seaview nursing home where we set all of the carved pumpkins outside on a ledge that could be viewed from a large window in the social room. We also put the decorated ones inside so that the residents could get a better look at some the creativity and effort that had been put in from inside. After the pumpkins had all been lit outside, the nurses turned down the lights, and you could see their faces light up. It was one of the best feelings I have ever had in the world. This idea was something that I was very passionate about because I am super close to my grandmother, and I feel that sometimes people get scared...

...6 Weird Habits Of Successful People December 18, 2012 We call people weird because they do things differently than we would. Seth Godin wears those brightly colored but mismatched socks. Steve Jobs’ work uniform was a black turtleneck and jeans. Look around and you can see the obvious differences in a lot of successful people. What most business owners don’t see when they look at successful people are the habits they’ve developed. Leonard DaVinci slept two hours at a time in four-hour intervals. Charles Dickens would only write and sleep facing north. Some of their weirdness was superstition, but a lot of it wasn’t. Here are six weird habits of successful people. 1.They think backward. Successful people start at the finish. Most of us have been taught to take one step, then the next, and the next until we arrive at our destination or goal. But successful people, like rocket scientists, actually clearly define the outcome they want first, and then reverse engineer the steps they need to take to get there. 2. They like to repeat themselves, a lot. They repeat themselves a lot. If you’re pre-vinyl and never heard a broken record, think “repeat” or “loop.” Successful people don’t stop when they have a success. When they succeed, they try to figure out ways to repeat that success. 3. They cut corners. Once successful people figure out how to repeat success, then they figure out how to get the same result faster, easier and cheaper. There’s a fine line between cutting corners...

...chef, and launching my own cake decorating business. I first began college as a premed student in Northern Kentucky. Four majors later I found out about the Baking and Pastry program at the Art Institute and I realized baking did not have to be just a hobby. The program helped me recognize that I could have a career in a field that I have an immense love and passion for. I began the program in October of 2009, eager to learn all that I could about my new field of study. I was anxious to acquire the techniques that I watched everyday on the Food Network and excited to one day create the masterpieces that these Chefs have done. My first cake in my introduction to baking class was simply decorated with a vine of pumpkins. Through the classes offered in the Baking and Pastry program, the instructors helped expand my knowledge and skills. During my second quarter at the Art Institute I was able to make a primitive fire place scene out of bread and as Easter Bunny with a basket make completely of sugar. Each class was specific to techniques used to create exquisite showpieces and cake creations. After my third quarter in the program, I had experience making many classic European tortes and made a box completely out of chocolate. My fourth and final quarter was my favorite of my Baking and Pastry college career. I had finally reached that classes that were specific to my dreams and passions. I used the very same techniques that I had been watching on the “Cake Challenge.” I was finally...
