... because I couldn’t give her an answer.” For this reason, St. John decided to help teach kids how to succeed. After a lot of interviews with different TEDsters, St. John was able to do this. Now, Richard St. John gives his presentation to high school students. Next, Richard St. John’s continues by describing what leads to success.

Next, St. John says,“Work.” He mentions, Rupert Murdoch, a TEdster, said to him that any type of work is hard. He continues his presentation and mentions the next aspect of success is good.

...Clinical Journal 2 The clinical rotation was a great experience for me. At the beginning I was afraid of how I would approach a patient with mental health. Today I can say that I am comfortable talking to any of the patients on the floor. I was able to listen to their stories, what happened to them that they ended up in a mental health facility, what life they have outside the hospital and so on. My positive feelings that I experienced in my clinical rotation is that I was able to see and learn the mental health condition outside the classroom. One thing is when you learn from the book, another is when you see the patient with that type of condition and many of the times the patient not only have one mental condition, but many at the same time. Also, patients also have medical conditions like hypertension, diabetes and chronic pain that affect their treatment....

...He tells the university’s authorities and puts in a request for a new roommate. Among the fact that his roommate has deeply disturbed him, he also is dealing with canker sores. He mentions that the sores hurt more than once. He tells Gabe about them and asks online if anyone knows what causes them. Ferrara asks for opinions online about his sores: “I have all these canker sores right now. What causes them, anyone know? Can I give a blowjob with canker sores? Hurts” (36). Ferrara is bothered immensely by these sores, and is hesitant about going out or partaking in any events. In other words, the canker sores are an addition to the troubles Ferrara has to deal...

...My Way by Paul Anka 1969; A Song Lyrics Analysis * Lyrics My Way by Paul Anka 1969 And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain. I've lived a life that's full. I've traveled each and every highway; But more, much more than this, I did it my way. Regrets, I've had a few; But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway, But more, much more than this, I did it my way. Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way. I've loved, I've laughed and cried. I've had my fill; my share of losing. And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing. To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way, "No, oh no not me, I did it my way". For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way! * Theme The lyrics of "My Way" tell the story of a man who, having grown old, reflects on his life as death approaches. He is comfortable with his mortality and takes responsibility for how he dealt with all the challenges of life while...

...is roughly 5’4. All her life she has lived in Black Creek, North Carolina. Cat loves reading books all year around “I went to school and read a lot of books. When it was summer I still read a lot of books” (Myracle 8). From the beginning of the book it is obvious that she is a caring, shy and independent person. Cat is a very caring person because she goes out of her way for people an example is when Patrick got beaten up she started to think that if no one would figure who did this to Patrick she would, which she mentions “I’d look straight into the ugliness and find who hurt him, and when I did, I’d yell it from the mountaintop” (Myracle 21). Cat is very shy in the beginning but she eventually over comes it when she has to look for clues and talk to people she doesn’t want to look at. An example of this is when Cat has to go and ask Tommy the boy who raped her years ago about what happened the night Patrick got attacked. When Cat...

...Chapter 4 In this chapter, Gatsby tells nick all about his past. He says things that are very unlikely to nikc and he mentions and shows his disbelief. Gatsby makes claims of being connected to most wealthy and outstanding people in the country, and being from the world war. Towards the end of the chapter Nick learns that Gatsby loves Diasy and wants nick to arrange a meeting in order for Gatsby to come and meet her once again. Jordan is the one who informs nikc of this plan. A- Nick B- “Anything can happen now that we’ve slid over this bridge” C- Nick is very self relying, and has a lot to say to himself about everyone around him, but on the outside is very softspoken and humble. This is a good quality, and he is a very honest and trustworthy individual guy, but is often shy and a bit awkward. D- Nicks main role in this story is that he’s the narrorator, and all of these events are based on his life. He is a very down to earth guy, calm and collected with a bunch of crazy events and people surrounding him. Instead of being in surroundings thatmirror him as a person, he is almost in an opposing environment, rivaling his ways of living. “There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.” This quote goes to show a category for most characters in this book, for example Gatsby is a pursuer and a busy man. While someone like Daisy is the pursued. Being a go with the flow type of woman, instead of a go getter. A main symbolic item is that...

...Subject: LSI Result Date: 31 October 2012 The result of this survey does show how I react and behave in my life. I was not surprised after I saw the result. Because the survey was very close to what I was thinking about myself, my react and behave. According to the survey my self – actualizing style is in the medium range. In addition it is close to low range. Therefore I should have moderate interest and try to improve my self with these things. Also I may suspect my abilities to make difference. Also the survey result does show that my achievement style in the high range. People who in the high range of achievement, strongly believe that they can change things and make them the way they think they could be, and these people are not afraid to take moderate, well-calculated risks. The range in my perfectionistic style is medium. I might tend to see my ability to accomplish tasks as a measure of my self-worth. While people may see me as a diligent worker, my over-concern with being perfect can cause me to be abrupt and somewhat unresponsive to others feelings. The survey shows that my competitive style is in the high range. İt is a consideration to be in the high range of this style. Because I tend to be the winner rather then perform well. Also I like to get attention, and getting attention means being in the center which can disturb the relationship with others. My power-oriented style is in the high range. I really like to have the power and the control all the time...

...Beowulf’s Actions: Heroism or Duty? In a historical poem named Beowulf, we see people of Danes living in a fear of a powerful monster, Grendal. No one seems to be able to defeat him until a hero warrior named Beowulf sails from Geatland and kills Grendel. From the very beginning of the poem Beowulf stands out as a fearless, “the mightiest man on earth, highborn and powerful” (line 196). He is not afraid of anyone or anything and he is also not shy about showing off all his success. He mentions all the accomplishments he had when he was younger and he goes to a great detail describing his fight with the sea monster, Breca. At the moment when we can see Beowulf crosses path with Unferth, his character really stands out in comparison to Unferth’s coward and jealous nature. Even though Beowulf comes across as a brave and strong warrior who later becomes a beloved and well respected king, there is a part of the story that makes me question his motifs. I wonder: Were his actions an act of heroism or was it his duty? After arriving in Danes, Beowulf meets with the king, Hrothgar. Based on their conversation, we can assume that they are not complete strangers. Hrothgar admits knowing Beowulf’s father, Ecgtheow. There is something Hrothgar said during their meeting that raises a question. Lines 470 - 473 read: “Finally I healed the feud by paying: I shipped a treasure-trove to the Wulfings, and Ecgtheow acknowledged me with oaths of allegiance”. In my opinion, the phrase “oaths of allegiance”...

...Studies have shown that public speaking is one of the most fearful experience any individuals could face. I am among those individuals. My shy persona takes over, the fear of being judged becomes terrifying, both my internal and external noise interference start to act up leaving my heart rate ascending, I start to hear the clock ticking, and my adrenaline starts building. There are limitations to speak when being timed and before you know it, all eyes are on you where you being the speaker become the focus point for the audience. Although I was dubious my topic for my presentation would leave a beneficial impact on my audience, I must say I did a great job on my first presentation. There was a lot of preparation to alleviate tension however, I was not perfect....

...extraordinary heroine. To some extent it is true that Catherine is an ordinary woman. As Henry James points in the novel “she was not ugly; she had simply a plain, dull, gentle countenance”. She is not sociable either, in fact, she is very shy; she is not very ladylike, for example when her father comes home she just runs wildly towards him; her father is ashamed of her because she is not really skilful and, as consequence she is not self-confident. However, it is necessary to remember that Catherine has a huge variety of elements of strength which make her an extraordinary heroine. To start with, she shows us through two moments that she cares about love rather than about money. The first one is when she wants to marry Morris even though her father wants to disinherit her; and the second one is when at the end of the book, she does not promise her father that she is not going to marry Morris although she knows she is not going to do it, and even knowing that she is going to lose her fortune. This second act could be considered heroic in another way too: she does not say to her father what he wants to hear, so it is a way of saying that she is not going to obey anyone anymore. Regarding obedience and independence, it is important to mention the fact that she does not get married, although she has several opportunities, in order to show that she can take her own decisions. A third way of expressing heroisms is when although being a victim (broken-hearted), Catherine does not cry...

...in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, by Susan Cain, takes you through several eye-opening examples of the world of introverts and extroverts. Introverts are people who are shy, mostly quiet and prefer being alone, while extroverts are the opposite. Susan Cain brings up how extroverts are the most successful people in life, such as CEO’s for example. While also mentioning how introverts are people who change your daily life and revolutionize the world. I love how the author expands the definition of introverts and extroverts, by bringing us several examples of the lives of well known people and what they were, but Susan Cain also confuses me by making an extrovert seem much better than an introvert. You can say she elaborates more on extroverts and makes introverts seem bad....

...An Angel in Middle school When people mention the word “angel”, they are capitalized may imagine a beautiful one that is very pure, warm and helpful. People might also say that if she is unreal and abstract that they don’t exist. I agreed with their opinion until I entered middle school and met an angel. I entered middle school when I was twelve. I didn’t know everything except playing games like in primary school. For example, every morning I got up and then washed my face and brushed my teeth, but never cared about my ugly hair style, which was short and smooth almost like as a monk. I didn’t care about my appearance and my uniform which always wrinkled. In a word, I was a mess, and I looked terrible. The first day I came to class, I was almost late. There was no chair for me to sit on, so I had to take one from other classroom. After I moved the chair to my classroom and put it down, someone giggled. I looked at her and then I was shocked. She was so beautiful with a warm smile, and she would be my deskmate for the next three years. I didn’t know the feeling when I looked at her, but I know it already now. It is love, I have a blind love to her at first sight. She started becoming the first important person in my life. After that, I behaved like a gentleman. I improved my hairstyle and combed it every morning. My clothes would be spread out before I got it up. Everything was improving exterior. However, I became shy when I sat beside her. I especially avoided eye contact...
