...childhood one of the most influential and memory filled was cooking in the kitchen with my mother. In addition to cooking being a favorite memory for me I believe it is a great activity to do with children, it is a useful lifelong skill and it is relaxing and enjoyable. I am grateful that I was taught how to cook and how to enjoy cooking as a child. It has filtered into my life as an adult and my family now. I can recall the wonderful smells of the traditional fall time cooking, apple crisp, whoopee pies and my favorite fresh chocolate chip cookies wafting through my little house in the woods of Maine. I am happy to be able to include Makenzie in the joy I get from cooking. I remember how thrilled I was to come home and see ingredients set out on the counter and know that mom had a new recipe project to do. I can now repeat those projects with Makenzie, it is so satisfying to see her get excited to learn from me and do something we’ll both always remember. Cooking is a great bonding time for a child and adult it is fun and children can be inventive and not realize that what they are being taught will follow them through life. Besides the nostalgic aspects of learning to cook throughout childhood and growing up into an adult it has come to my attention that cooking is a helpful know how skill to have. Many young people find themselves obtaining a first job in the food industry. Being a line cook is a simple first job for any college student. Knowing how to cook basic meals would make...

...Hamlet’s Blackberry | My Disconnected Blackberry | A way of life revisited | | Kent Olden English 20 Section 36Professor Lynda Radican | 5/12/2011 | As any teacher worth their weight in salt will tell you, they set out to give students the best possible education. Along that path they often influence the future generations. My teacher has identified one of the many problems troubling this burgeoning generation. The problem being the busyness that technology has created. The purpose of this assignment was to examine my screen habits and make change as I saw fit. By reading powers book, I was able to articulate the problem and take steps towards a remedy. I struggle as a writer; at times I am brilliant, in my mind at least. Most other times I am just sitting staring at a screen or finding some other distraction. My writing process involved discussing the books topics with others. The lesson being taught by this book made me think of my teenage child now and in the future, accordingly I wrote to that audience. Reading this book has been a help to me. I sit for hours, but it could be even longer with the distraction of a connected screen. I have taken steps to alleviate this distraction. I thank you for introducing me to William Powers. It is my hope that with this paper you will gain a degree of insight into my balanced life. Also it was my intention to fashion my thoughts into an “A” grade paper. Free of grammatical error and on task with the assignment...

...the street, but what does the word “normal” really mean? What does it take to be defined as normal? Well there is no definition, really. The things you know, things you grow up around, people you see everyday, that’s what normal is, and it’s unique to every person. So I knew for a fact my family was normal, but I also knew to others things were different, and I noticed. I noticed all of the stares; their eyes leading our way down the isle of the store, the meant-to-be-quiet whispers that we always managed to hear clearly. My sister, Makenzie, noticed too. She knew people were judging her, making fun of every move she made, mocking the voice she spoke with, but she didn’t care. Would a three year old child care if people were watching as they through themselves to the floor in a tantrum, over not getting their favorite toy? I bet they don’t even open their blurry eyes, overflowing with crocodile tears, to even notice. Neither does Makenzie, that’s all she really is though. A three year old child; condemned to a eighteen year old body. Her and I were complete opposites. Sometimes, regretfully, I would question if she was even a real member of our family. From many generations of thick black hair, pallid complexions, and petite figures, how could I have a blue eyed, light haired, giant as a sister? There was never a specific day that the light bulb brightened, I had just always known that something, nothing I could put my finger on, was different. The way she would...

...Brenley got a puppy for her birthday, she was so happy but she didn’t know what to name it. She decided to name it Todd. Everyday before school, she would let Todd outside to run around and play in the backyard. She left for school on February 17th 2016. When she came back home to let Todd inside she didn’t see him.

Todd ran to her, but before Brenley knew it a young man named Mo came speeding down the street and hit Todd with the car. Brenley was in...

...The Causes and Effects of Corporate Scandals Makenzie Derby ENG121 Lesa Hadley July 16, 2007 The Causes and Effects of Corporate Scandal In this day and age, there seem to be an overwhelming amount of company executives violating ethical standards. The question on many people’s minds is, “Why?” Everyone is familiar with Enron filing bankruptcy in December of 2001. The company “covered a wide array of activities, including accounting regularities, the defrauding of investors and employees, and the attempted cover-up, which involved the destruction of documents and the deletion of computer files” (Callan, 2003, p. 126). People joke around in their careers everyday, saying to other associates, “Could you imagine what would happen if I did this?” Of course, nobody ever means it. People are in shock when they hear about company scandals on the news. Who could commit such crimes and for what reason(s)? There were many companies throughout the year 2002 which were involved in scandals. “Scandals involved such US based companies as Worldcom, AOL, Tyco, and several others” (Callan, 2003, p. 126). It seems to be an international disease among large corporations. The pressure on corporations to succeed is tremendous. People care more about their own success than the affects on the people around them such as colleagues, friends, and family. Callan (2003) states, “It is not the achievement of a high status position or salary that determines career success, but rather...

...With events like “The Miss America Pageant” being nationally televised, movies like “Little Miss Sunshine” being produced, and shows like “Toddlers and Tiara’s” and “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” being watched by millions, children’s beauty pageants are becoming more popular than ever. Today more than 16,000 child pageants are held annually, with an estimated 290,000 contestants (Bowling). Behind the popularity, however, follows the controversy. There are essentially two types of children’s beauty pageants, the “natural” pageants and the “glitz” pageants. In natural pageants, children under a certain age are not allowed to wear make up or fake teeth (flappers), spray tans and big hair are discouraged, and there are specific age appropriate dress guidelines that the contestants must follow. In contrast, at a glitz pageant you will see fake smiles, fake tans, heavy stage make up, and wigs on almost every girl. Advocates of both types of pageants argue that they are a good source of friendly competition and healthy for a child’s self esteem. Critics of child beauty pageants, however, argue that the glitz pageants, more so than the natural pageants, could potentially have damaging effects on the child contestant. One of the most significant reasons parents cite for entering their children into beauty pageants is to boost their child’s self esteem, and to teach poise and confidence. A group of parents interviewed by TODAY contributor Michael Inbar claimed that putting their children...

...An Overview of Human Behavior Makenzie Koehn New York University Human Behavior refers to the collection of every physical action and visible emotion that is associated with individuals and also the entire human race. When looking at the life of Shawn Hunt, there are many factors displayed throughout the article on some of his experiences while growing up. We are able to recognize components such as resilience, race, spirituality, and mental health. This paper will focus on these different elements and how they were defined in Shawn’s life. We will also discuss how a bio-psycho social approach may help us better understand human behavior in the social environment. In Shawn’s life, we see a great deal of risk and resilience that displays a wonderful example of what each factor may look like. Shawn, who spends a great amount of his young life falling into his own stereotype, finds a way to break the chains of the standards that he was born into. At 11 years old, he was a messenger for the neighborhood drug dealers. Two years later, he had a .25 caliber pistol and headed down a very dark path. However, when Shawn was 17 years old, he turned his life around. He was the co-captain of his track team, an honor student and a youth leader at his church. Although, he had hit a high point in his life, Shawn began stumbling upon a reoccurring dream that spoke of the violent environment that he had been a part of for so long which made him realize he had to break away. Shawn’s...

...MGMT 1001 Assignment 2 – Report – 30% of Final Mark Report Focus: Write a report reflecting on your experiences of the Everest group simulation exercise this semester with reference to concepts and theories encountered in this course. Executive Summary Everest, a virtual game designed by Harvard Business School and Forio Business Simulations, forces players to challenge problems that arise and conquer them as a team. After viewing a frightening video that portrays the mountain climbing experience, students are arranged in groups of five and assigned different roles with varying description and goals, ranging from ambitious athletes to preservative environmentalists. Confronting numerous challenges such as oxygen scarcity, unpredictable weather and volatile health conditions, teams progress up the mountain, with the ultimate goal of reaching the summit. The game is intelligent in its simplistic design – it gives different goals and information to each player. The physician has knowledge on numerous diseases, but is unable to use it if the marathoner fails to announce her critical health condition – a probable situation as the game encourages players to hide the information. In hindsight, our team was given two attempts to complete the simulation. The first simulation was conducted with little experience and understanding of group members and roles. Formation of conspiracies led to discomfort due to conflicting personal goals, limited resources,...
