...reasons people get in over their heads in debt and some of these reasons are good for getting debt settlement. The best way to start reducing the amount they have to pay is to send a debt settlement agreement letter to their creditors. The letter needs to clearly state the hardships that have caused the debtor to be unable to pay his or her debt. The person will not be successful in reducing his or her debt if they say they made too many purchases and now they can’t pay for them. There are several legitimate hardships for getting behind on debt payments including: • Illness or injury that precludes...

...changes over time, three values remain prominent. In today’s young American: hard-work, perseverance, and passion serve to make the United States the great nation that it is. First, lets bring attention to the hard-work every American goes through. Americans face hardships everyday, like unemployment, debt, and war. Americans have always had hardships, but Americans always overcome challenges.

...Chapter 9 Essay Americans Fears Americans had much fear in the 1930’s because of the Great Depression and the hardship that came with it. There were enormous cuts in wages which left people unemployed and economically burdened. The poverty percentage grew drastically because the amount of material resources that they needed to live were impossible to obtain. When Roosevelt’s New Deal was enacted in 1933-1936 there was an mixture of cries and cheers that came with the passing. Women in the 1930’s also struggled when it came to asking for help in fear of being rejected. In this paper I will examine the fears that the Americans had in the 1930’s and exemplify the hardships that they had to face during a rough phase in their lives. The poor struggled in keeping their homes during this time in fear of losing it because of financial trouble. For example, Mrs. A. M. U. from Iowa and had great hardship in 1934. She wrote a letter to President Roosevelt begging for money to help pay for her house. Mrs. A. M. U. said, “if I could only raise thirteen Hundred Dollars than I could Stay in my home” (173). She begs him by asking for that money so she won’t be homeless. The determination that she had led her to write a letter to the president because her fear became so heavy that she had to come up with a solution. Many other Americans witnessed the same hardship. An anonymous young boy from Illinois wrote in fear that his father would not be able to get a job and they would lose their...

...because of the records that individuals have kept over the years. Books, letters, decrees, even town notices can each give us insight into what life was like before we or our living families came into this world. There are oral traditions that can be passed down, as well as stories told from one generation to another. Letters specifically can show one person’s experiences, opinions, hardships, and relationships. This letter, from Sebastian Brandt a settler, serves as a perfect example of life before industry or the American dream. Sebastian writes to his friend Henry Hovener who is back in England at the time. The letter is written on January 12, 1622. According to the letter Sebastian appears to be a middle aged settler who made the voyage with his wife and brother. Due to the enormous outbreaks of disease at the time, they had both passed away about a year before the letter was written. Sebastian writes about silver, gold and copper. This suggests that he may be in the lower class considering he is venturing on those quests on his own. Throughout his writing he references the Lord God, asking for his blessings, and giving blessing to Mr. Hovener. This proves his religious...

...1. Notes a. This letter was written by an indentured servant who traveled to Virginia to work on the tobacco plantations. He wrote this letter to his parents to not only explain the terrible living conditions, but also to beg them for help and mercy. His letter details the conditions everyone had to live in and how people reacted according to them. Most importantly, he begs his parents to buy out his indenture so he can return home, or to send food for his survival in Virginia. b. The people are incredibly sick and starving. If they haven’t already died from the indian attacks, they are barely surviving in their current conditions. Not to mention, the people are terrified of another attack from the Powhatan. People are turning on each other because they are all desperate to survive. For example, someone stole Frethorne’s Cloke and would not tell him where it was. However, he was spotted later on receiving food from the ship, so it can be assumed that the Cloke was used to trade. Frethorne also told his parents about the kind hospitality from John Jackson, the gunsmith, who took him in when he traveled to Jamestown for business. Lastly,...

...The purpose of the letter is to support Jesus Garcia Cervantes’s application for a pardon of the ten year ban from the United States as it would cause “EXTREME HARDSHIP” to his wife, Angelina Pantoja Lara, a lawful permanent resident as well their children, who are U.S. Citizens. I have known Jesus and his wife all of my life, as all three of us grow up in the same small town in Mexico. Jesus is also my first cousin, throughout the years we have kept in close contact, and even work together as farm laborers here in Eastern Washington. Jesus and Angelina currently have two small children, Joanna, who just turned 4 years old, and Franko, who is 2 years old, and they are also expecting their third child in January. I can attest to the fact that Jesus is a hard-worker and is a very responsible person. FINANCIAL HARDSHIP:...

...In her letter to her son, Abigail Adams describes the benefits the trip could reap. The passage persuades her son to see the benefits of his adventure as evidenced by her comparison and reference to heroes of the past and present. In the letter, hoping to encourage her son to value his journey, Adams compares a traveler to a river. An author, whom she met with, describes the comparison as “running through rich veins of minerals, improving their qualities as they pass along”. Adams mentions the author’s remark as a means of backing up her encouragement with a credible source. The comparison is referencing that idea that if one continues to travel and experience more then they will grow rich with knowledge. Adams is explaining that he could...

... 2012 Comparing my Education to Sherman Alexie’s Indian Education Sherman Alexie’s Indian Education tells of the hardships, such as bullying and racial discrimination, that Alexie faced in reservation grade school; I, on the other hand, faced minimum hardships since I went to private grade school. The rules of the private school I went to are based on the Bible, and this created a friendly Christian environment among the students, so bullying of any sort was scarce. Alexie faced constant bullying in the reservation schools he attended. My elementary school life was peaceful and violence was uncommon, whereas Alexie’s elementary school life was traumatizing for him, facing problems with bullying and racism. My elementary life is eventful and enjoyable. One vivid memory I had in my elementary years, specifically first grade, is vomiting every other day during school. This was not caused by bullying; it was caused by scheduling P.E right after lunch. Every lunch I would drink chocolate milk with my meal. After enduring a vigorous exercise in P.E, the entire grade would line up so they could go back to class and continue their learning. Before we would leave to go to class, that is when I would erupt my lunch onto the green carpet we ran on. One noticeable food item in my vomit was chocolate milk. After first grade, I had the desire to switch schools, not because I was tired of the school I was going to, but because I wanted to go to the public school my aunt taught at. Sadly...

...Community Whether it be my hometown of Portland, Oregon, or my home in Libertyville, Illinois, community service has been central to who I am. My desire to give stems from an understanding of hardships and the effects they can have. Being a part of an altruistic community is not limited by skin color, culture, age or language. It is a global venture in which anyone can participate. My entry into the volunteer community started in sixth grade when my mother and I regularly helped at our local food bank. As I grew, so did my commitment. As a freshman in high school, I became a familiar face at my local library where I volunteered weekly to arrange books, clean, and help decorate for holidays. When I moved from Portland to the welcoming community of Libertyville, my philanthropic nature further expanded. I have been a co-leader to my school’s Interact Club, the high school equivalent of the Rotary. We volunteer at events sponsored by Rotary, such as their annual auction that donates half of the proceeds to local charities. Additionally, we spend the months of November and December...

...Disney’s Lion King might seem to be two different stories. However, Hamlet and Simba have a lot in common. They both go through the hardships of their father’s death and a new king taking his place. They also have to face betrayal from many people that they are close to. The death of a parent would be enough tragedy for someone, but both Simba and Hamlet go through much more. The first acts of betrayal in Shakespeare's Hamlet was the murdering of Hamlet’s father, the King of Denmark. Hamlet found out about this wrongdoing by the ghost that happens to be the deceased king. The ghost states “Take revenge for his horrible murder, that crime against nature”(Shakespeare 63). The King continues, “Now listen, Hamlet....

...The Destination May Not Always Be the Focal Point The final destination may not always be the focal point of a story; sometimes the key ideas may lie in the journey. Occasionally, stories can relay themes based on the journeys portrayed and can represent the characteristics and ideas of characters through the journey. Readers should consider the events leading up to the conclusion key points of the story, because they can give underlying motives, lessons, and ideas that could be overlooked when viewing the destination as the main idea.

Each journey describes the hardships of life and death and the lack of knowledge of how to prepare for future events; each writing also depicts the thought that the journey lies in the events...
