Holla Keathen Part 2: Dear Fellow Classmates; I am writing because I feel we deserve to know the importance of all the resources we have at the University of Phoenix. There are so many, we should capitalize on them and make our school life easier, with a much more enjoyable graduation experience. Every page you click on, there are resources- if you look carefully. Sometimes we can become overwhelmed with all the links to click we get lost and don’t know where to look. Tutorials can make the difference between knowing where to look and for what. Every Resource could not be described within 150 words, and all the resources couldn’t be described even if everyone in the classroom...

...baby, just like my sister Ali?” said an awestruck 4 year old Katie vonErden. Before I can even remember, my parents have always sensed my adoration and passion for the miracle of life, babies specifically. No matter the setting, I was always toting my own baby dolls in pretty pink, floral carriages and feeding them generously from miniature baby bottles. Eyes beaming and my mouth never losing its delighted smile, I’d always love “playing mother”. Never missing a beat, from the sunrise to sundown I spent most of my hours pretending to read fantasy stories to “my baby” and create my own baby care/personal schedules. No matter where I happened to be, whether in a busy-bodied grocery store or in the confinement of my princess-themed room, I absolutely loved making up colorful stories about unicorns and rainbows—literally—and adding in my own noises and expressions to “make my baby smile”. Bubbling over with a constant energy imagination, my stories always had happy endings and dramatic plot twists. I wanted to be the caregiver that made one laugh hysterically and dance with anticipation. As I arrived at the ending of my stories, I felt it. I felt the story, its energy and excitement, bringing me closer to “my baby”. My 41 inch height and even tinier physique defied the independent, motherly spirit and passion I had for babies. I wanted to teach, open up to, care for and love all my baby dolls and the real-life babies I excitedly saw at church, school events and my favorite place...

...pite the fact that, as Shakespeare said, "the pen is mightier than the sword," the pen itself is not enough to make an effective writer. In fact, though we may all like to think of ourselves as the next Shakespeare, inspiration alone is not the key to effective essay writing. You see, the conventions of English essays are more formulaic than you might think – and, in many ways, it can be as simple as counting to five. The Five Paragraph EssayThough more advanced academic papers are a category all their own, the basic high school or college essay has the following standardized, five paragraph structure: Paragraph 1: IntroductionParagraph 2: Body 1Paragraph 3: Body 2Paragraph 4: Body 3Paragraph 5: Conclusion Though it may seem formulaic – and, well, it is - the idea behind this structure is to make it easier for the reader to navigate the ideas put forth in an essay. You see, if your essay has the same structure as every other one, any reader should be able to quickly and easily find the information most relevant to them. The Introduction Want to see sample essays?Check out our Sample Essay section where you can see scholarship essays, admissions essays, and more! The principle purpose of the introduction is to present your position (this is also known as the "thesis" or "argument") on the issue at hand but effective introductory paragraphs are so much more than that. Before you even get to this thesis statement, for example, the essay should begin with a "hook" that grabs...

...My life of 34 years, have been filled with love, happiness, trusting friendships, and a little disappointment from myself. Growing up I had an imagination incorporated with dreams and the feeling that one day I will make a difference to people. I did not want to be famous, however, I had a groaning from inside that I will be important. My journey has taken me on many trips, befriended many, and accomplished some things I was ok with. In this brief summary of my life I will give great tribute to a humanistic psychologist named Abraham Maslow. When I read about him in my psychology class at Olive Harvey College when I was twenty years old his theory was interesting but was not understood at that time in my life. It was not until I was 33, enrolled in a beginners psychology course at Chicago state university, I finally payed attention to his theory of life. The self- actualization stage was where I was at in my life; this feeling inside me was the desire to full my life to its full potential. Becoming all I can be. I had a house, I bought on my own, a job at the University of Chicago for twelve years, and a well rounded well behaved daughter. That was not good enough. My thought was what’s a house? what’s a job? I can be more than a phlebotomist with an associate’s degree in child development. There have been many people who have shaped me thinking and the way I view the world. My mother was my primary caregiver .she married my father, unfortunately, was separated from him since...

...significance to the character of Anne whom continuously struggles to subside her unique imagination and submit to social expectations. There are endless examples within Anne of Green Gables that demonstrate the similarities between herself and the beloved character of Anne. To conclude, the character of Anne Shirley is merely a reflection of Montgomery herself. A Canadian with roots in Scotland, Lucy M. Montgomery was a regional romantic novelist best known for Anne of Green Gables (1908)( Castriota, Lucy). Montgomery was born in 1874 in PEI where she was raised by her maternal grandparents after her mother passed away due to illness (Castriota). She began to keep a diary and discovered at the age of 10 that she could write poetry. After college, Montgomery became a teacher but continued to write in her spare time (Jackson, Sarah). In 1908 her first novel, Anne of Green Gables, was published after having been rejected by several publishers. It was a success. She followed up with a whole series of novels about...

...GRADUATION by F. Sionil I always knew that someday after I finished high school, I’d go to Manila and to college. I had looked ahead to the grand adventure with eagerness but when it finally came; my leaving Rosales filled me with a nameless dread and a great, swelling unhappiness that clogged my chest. I couldn’t be sure now. Maybe it was friendship, huge and granite-like, or just plain sympathy. I couldn’t be sure anymore; maybe I really fell in love when I was sixteen. Her name was Teresita. She was a proud, stubborn girl with many fixed ideas and she even admonished me: “Just because you gave will be accepted.” It was until after sometime that I understood what she meant and when she did, I honored her all the more. She was sixteen, too, lovely like the banana when it’s bloom. I did not expect her to be angry with me when I bought her a dress for it wasn’t really expensive. Besides, as the daughter of one of Father’s tenants, she knew me very well, better perhaps than any of the people who lived in Carmay, the young folks who always greeted me politely, doffed their straw hats then, close-mouthed, and went their way. I always had silver coins in my pockets but that March afternoon, after counting all of them and the stray pieces, too that I had tucked away in my dresser I knew I needed more. I approach Father. He was at his working table, writing on a ledger while behind him, one of the new servants stood erect, swinging a palm leaf fan over Father’s head...

...Something called the Danish Twin Study established that only about 10 percent of how long the average person lives, within certain biological limits, is dictated by our genes. The other 90 percent is dictated by our lifestyle. So the premise of Blue Zones: if we can find the optimal lifestyle of longevity we can come up with a de facto formula for longevity. But if you ask the average American what the optimal formula of longevity is, they probably couldn't tell you. They've probably heard of the South Beach Diet, or the Atkins Diet. You have the USDA food pyramid. There is what Oprah tells us. There is what Doctor Oz tells us. The fact of the matter is there is a lot of confusion around what really helps us live longer better. Should you be running marathons or doing yoga? Should you eat organic meats or should you be eating tofu? When it comes to supplements, should you be taking them?How about these hormones or resveratrol? And does purpose play into it? Spirituality? And how about how we socialize? Well, our approach to finding longevity was to team up with National Geographic, and the National Institute on Aging, to find the four demographically confirmed areas that are geographically defined. And then bring a team of experts in there to methodically go through exactly what these people do, to distill down the cross-cultural distillation. And at the end of this I'm going to tell you what that distillation is. But first I'd like to debunk some common myths when it comes...

...year, my life has become a whirlwind of trips all over the world, sometimes up to three different countries in one week. And while the lifestyle on the surface is glamorous and exciting, like any gold-plated faux jewelery, scratch a bit and you’ll reach its tarnished core. In the case of a jetsetting lifestyle that whizzes me to New York, Switzerland, Tokyo, and all over Asia, the horrifyingly ugly truth is that these days, my key source of nutrition is none other than plane food. I disgustingly realized that recently, up to 80% of my meals has consisted of horrid, plasticky, “It-doesn’t-really-make-a-huge-difference-if-it’s-business-class” plane food. Yuck. Period. There is a reason why plane food has a foil cover. Aside from reheating purposes, it gives you time to mentally prepare before taking a sneak peak inside to assess the food quality. At that point you then decide to either give in to hunger and dig in, or gently reseal the lid and order extra drinks—lots of them. Of course this is not the stuff of great tearjerkers, but it is especially during these times I become wistful and reminisce about my old life in Manila, back in the kitchen of my parents, lovingly fed in the kitchen of my father. I was an over-fed child back in the eighties. I grew up in a household bursting at the seams with food painstakingly prepared, planned, and meticulously replenished. If the coup d’état attempts during those turbulent years had eventually led to war and food shortage, my parents...

...daughter of a Chinese warlord, and her father, a pharmaceutical executive. Vera’s wealthy upbringing largely influenced her view on fashion. Her mother was very stylish and would take Vera to Paris fashion shows during her childhood. Vera states that her mother, “absolutely loved fashion” and “I had a mother that was superbly chic. She made fashion this adventure for me as a young woman. She viewed fashion not as superficial but as expressive.” (Zimbalist, 2007) Vera explains that from her mother she, “got a first class education with style, and quality, and exposure to European houses, and the kind of education that sometimes you can’t even get in school.” (MOVIE) Her wealthy upbringing allowed her to attend prestigious schools, including Chapin, a private school in Manhattan. It also allowed Vera to become involved in her passion, the sport of figure skating. Vera was a competitive figure skater until the age of 20, with the dream of becoming an Olympic skater. Unfortunately however, Vera failed to qualify for the 1968 Olympic team, calling it “heartbreaking”. (MOVIE) Moving past this disappointment, Vera enrolled in Sarah Lawrence College in New York.
