...blondes with a plan, my mother and I, answered in unison, “Of course.” As an art student and enthusiast, I had looked forward to seeing the massive collection of art stored in Metropolitan Museum of Art for many months. We visited the city after my senior year of high school. When our trip was cut short, we decided to return in the spring to see the museum. The amount and variety of pieces overwhelmed me. I strolled around a corner and found Picasso’s lover, Dora Maar, sitting in an armchair. My mom said, “She looks just like you.” I laughed, but in many ways she was right. Like the visual details of the painting, my identity may feel disjointed, but patience yields colorful beauty. I am the daughter of a Southern Baptist pastor and a teacher-turned pediatrician.

...Saad Ali Ms. Hunt ENG3U0-B July 20th 2015 Not All Heroes Wear Capes Superman is a well-known superhero who succeeds in protecting others. However, being a protector does not mean that one must be a superhero. George Milton, in Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, is not a superhero but is characterized as a protector. The novella is about two migrant workers, George Milton and Lennie Smalls, who travel together during the Depression in order to find work. Unfortunately, they get into all sorts of mishaps because of Lennie. The two men have a dream to one day own a farm, but Lennie’s mental disability proves to be a far greater obstacle than anticipated. George Milton is a common man but shows the qualities of a superhero through his caring, resourceful, and selfless personality. Without these traits, George would not travel with Lennie, for he would have no reason to. Perhaps then, the ending of the novella would not end as tragically as it did. Firstly, Steinbeck depicts George as a caring person through his actions and attitude towards situations. At the start of the book, Lennie is seen drinking water from a river. When George sees this he says, “Lennie, for God’ sakes don’t drink so much […] you gonna be sick like you was last night. […] You never oughta drink water when it ain’t running, Lennie” (3.) George is looking out for Lennie, and is concerned that he will get sick from drinking the water, thus showing how compassionate George is since he cares for Lennie’s...

...Some kids think that superheroes on TV that wear special suits and have superpowers and thanks to this they fight against evil and defend and protect the human race, for example, the Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Batman and other superheroes you can think of. Jesus is a true hero because he suffered for us and sacrificed his life on the cross to save us from sin. It's not our names or the clothes we wear that makes us superheroes. What counts is what we do. People know in their hearts and mind when someone is acting like a true hero by how they are acting. My dad is my real hero because he wakes up at 4:00 a.m. and leaves to work every day, no matter if it is a hot day or if there is a heavy snowfall he will still go to work in...

...During late morning of the 27 of October, 2016, I attended Radiant Messenger, Drawings by China Mark, at the Foosaner Art Museum in Melbourne, Florida. I am made aware of the event through my Art Appreciation class, and attended the exhibition with my classmates and teacher. This was my first time ever attending the Foosaner Art Museum, and was delighted at its elegant interior and cordial staff. My fellow classmates and I were dressed casually, while the staff at the museum was more professional in their attire. Moreover, inside the museum resided the unique fabric drawings by China Marks. Her artwork is made using a common zigzag sewing machine and computerized embroidery machine. She uses fabrics she finds at fabric stores and even fabric...

...(Maxwell, 2007) It has been my privilege to read many insightful and inspiring books associated with my journey toward the final goal of getting my degree. My desire is that you might hopefully understand my heartfelt appreciation of the use of Maxwell’s book as part of our curriculum. Of all of the textbooks used in all of the classes I have taken this is absolutely the best textbook I have had to work from. I have only read two other books in my life, scripture notwithstanding, that have engrossed me the way that Maxwell’s has. Both of these other books were introduced to me during a time that I was working towards licensure as a Clinical Pastoral Chaplain. One of those books was by James W. Fowler titled, “Stages of Faith: The Psychology of Human Development” (Fowler, 1981). The other book was written by Douglas John Hall and is titled “God & Human Suffering: An Exercise in the Theology of the Cross.” (Hall, 1986) The reason I bring these books up is because I wanted you to understand the bearing this book has had on my life. Thank you for introducing me to John C. Maxwell. Maxwell highlights the quote at the top page 14 in which he says, “The Only Thing A Title Can Buy Is A Little Time-Either To Increase Your Level Of Influence With Others Or To Undermine It.” When it comes to leadership I do not know that I have ever heard any better explanation, or warning for that matter, than he suggests here. I have been very fortunate in my life to have been around some...

...------------------------------------------------- Monomyth From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "The Hero's Journey" redirects here. For other uses, see The Hero's Journey (disambiguation). The twelve stages of the hero's journey monomyth following the summary by Christopher Vogler (originally compiled in 1985 as a Disney studio memo): 1. TheOrdinary World, 2. The Call to Adventure, 3. Refusal of the Call, 4. Meeting with the Mentor, 5. Crossing theThreshold to the "special world", 6. Tests, Allies and Enemies, 7. Approach to the Innermost Cave, 8. The Ordeal, 9. Reward, 10. The Road Back, 11. The Resurrection, 12. Return with the Elixir. In narratology and comparative mythology, the monomyth, or the hero's journey, is the common template of a broad category of tales that involve a hero who goes on anadventure, and in a decisive crisis wins a victory, and then comes home changed or transformed.[1] The concept was introduced by Joseph Campbell in The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), who described the basic narrative pattern as follows: A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.[2] Campbell and other scholars, such as Erich Neumann, describe narratives of Gautama Buddha, Moses, and Christ in terms of the monomyth. Critics argue that the concept is too broad...

...I was walking up to my high school’s football field as all of the school stood in the bleachers waiting for me but I had come up from behind to where the cheerleaders and dance team were. I remember one girl yelling, “Hey Scott!” from the bleachers and then another girl saying, “Look, smile!” A third girl had run up to me at the point to take a picture of me with her camera. Before she did, I looked to my left and saw my girlfriend at the time and she said hi to me very excitedly and my body filled with warm joy and excitement. It was a rush. Quickly I looked back to the camera and smiled. The flash blinded me for an instance and within that half a second I had realized that I was in fact dreaming. When I looked back to my girlfriend I realized she was actually now my ex-girlfriend. A dark wave of depression swarmed my insides. Once lucid I realized she had just broken up with me a few days before. At that moment I wished to die. And I did. My body, my soul started to fall down to the grass but fell through to an abyss of brief darkness to which I then woke up to my body feeling dead as I was sprawled out on my basement couch. This dream, I believe, is what induced my month-long episode of mania. During this same week, my best friend of 12 years told me he was going to be sent away to a residential hospital for 4-5 months with contact only through letters. So, I lost my girlfriend, best friend, and physical/mental health within one week. Mono of course made me miss...

...PENSACOLA STATE COLLEGE COURSE: MANAGIIGING DIVERSITY SEMESTER: SUMMER, 2015 INSTRUCTOR: MOLLIE ANDRAE Q 1. Which dimensions of business case for diversity are the most persuasive? Why? No matter which definition you put on work diversity, most organization if not all are acknowledging the importance of making diversity a business consideration. “Our work place is changing and diversity is no longer the exception, it is the norm now. It is good for business and when we achieve unity in diversity, everyone wins”. (Lativin, D.). Changes in the workplace are the result of various shifts in U.S. demographics. Among these are the country’s racial and ethnic makeup. People of color have reached over 100 million, according the U.S. Census Bureau. The dimensions of business case for diversity may vary from organization to organization depending on their priorities but the case for business diversity is somewhat the same across the board. The demographic shift creating a new customer base and workforce is not the only reason to implement diversity initiatives within a company’s business strategy. Increased globalization, improved financial results and employee retention are all part of a growing business case for diversity. To me, one of the most persuasive case for diversity is winning the competition for talent. The United States is the most diverse country in the world and no wonder is so economically successful and world super power as compared to other developed nations...

...Consumer Behaviour Term Paper Consumer Behaviour Insights in Marketing of Religion Saksham Srivastava (PGP/16/224) IIM Kozhikode sakshams16@iimk.ac.in, saksham1926@gmail.com Abstract Religion has been a part of the human civilisation for thousands of years, if not millions. Right from cavemen to white collar jobs, human beings have always strived to have a reason for survival. We have looked for the meaning of life since the beginning. Such a search is always accompanied by a belief in something. Sportsmen believe in their workout regime and training sessions to enable them to excel in their respective sports. Young students believe in the hours they’ve spent studying, to enable them to excel in their examinations. The origins of religion, lie in the belief of God, which is said to help people live a life of virtue. Religion has come to be defined by two schools of thought in today’s time. One school of thought is the believers, the ones who are on ‘religion’s side’, and the others, atheists, who don’t follow any religion and do not believe in the existence of God. Rather than being a rigid classification, the above division is more of a spectrum. Various degrees of theism and atheism exist with the middle path lying somewhere between mono-theists and agnostics. The science versus religion debate has been one of the most followed ongoing debates of the last and the current century. The reasons for the emergence of such a debate have been various, like, the Dark...

...The People You Meet In College THE 1 HIT WONDER You will never hear this guy/girl ever say anything, whether it be to other students or the professor. Then one day, after looking extremely intense or constipated for an hour straight, they will say something so gloriously insightful that it will bring tears to the eyes of everyone who bears witness to it. Then they will never speak again. THE KID THAT NO-ONE LIKES This kid is a jerk! And for arguments sake let’s call him “DANNY.” You desperately want to punch him in his ear, but he’s disabled. And because he disabled he makes sure to make EVERYONE mad. This kid will sometime attempt to befriend you then manage to say or do something so unspeakably rude or offer some sort of backwards compliment. Parties disassemble whenever this guy manages to find his way to one. Everyone avoids him but secretly watches him to see if he will lose a crutch while walking or roll down the stairs just to get in a good chuckle. THE SUBURBAN RAPPER The Suburban Rapper can be found in any common area, listening to his own music on his IPOD at an unreasonable volume. Generally (but not always) white, he awkwardly uses the words Dog, Crib, Homie, Phat, G, or Ill. If he spots you, he’ll ask you to “peep this new track yo,” or attempt to sell you tickets to his concert. His music is generally unbearable, and if you’re lucky, you can get away with only hearing a few verses. He always seems surprised that his poser antics never land him a girl...

Sometimes I try to be, but often I’m not. So when it was my turn to cover my eyes and count to a hundred – I cheated. I stood at the spot where you had to stand when it was your turn to count, which was beside the recycling bins, next to the shop selling disposable barbecues and spare tent pegs. And near to there is a small patch of overgrown grass, tucked away behind a water tap. Except I don’t remember standing there. Not really. You don’t always remember the details like that, do you? You don’t remember if you were beside the recycling bins, or further up the path near to the shower blocks, and whether actually the water tap is up there? I can’t now hear the manic cry of seagulls, or taste the salt in the air. I don’t feel the heat of the afternoon sun making me sweat beneath a clean white dressing on my knee, or the itching of suncream in the cracks of my scabs. I can’t make myself relive the vague sensation of deciding to cheat, and open my eyes. She looked about my age, with red hair and a face flecked in hundreds of freckles. Her...
