...the bench was extremely difficult to deal with. Consequently, as I missed the whole season, I wanted to start new. Once my knee was completely healed and I was finished with therapy, I joined a travelling club team. I immediately fell in love with the game again when I started playing. I still struggled with regaining the same strength and agility I had before, due to the lack of playing time I lost, but I never gave up. Unfortunately, I underwent the same circumstances when playing my junior year. It hurts to have something that you love taken away from you. When my playing time was taken from me a second time, my confidence and hope was lowered significantly. My love for the game, however, never wavered. After the school season ended, I went on to play volleyball on a travelling team again. Being able to be on the court and doing what I loved brought back the confidence and hope that I had lost before. Playing volleyball has had an enormous impact on my life. The most important thing I learned from playing was to never give up. If I hadn’t been persistent, defying the ups and downs and continuously learning throughout the journey, I wouldn’t be the person I am...

...It is easy to say something is hard to do if you never tried doing it. This saying hits home for me because there was a time I thought I could not play sports or thought that it would be a struggle because I had asthma. After beating myself up over not having the courage to try, my friends encouraged me to try out for basketball. When starting out it was a little hard to run and bounce the ball at the same time, it took even more energy and effort to shoot the ball. This did not help in keeping my spirit high. I felt defeated and stopped trying. While feeling bad about not being good right away I remembered what my mom told me “Everything does not come easy, you have to work for it”. This made me feel better and I practiced every day after school until I learned how to play the game. Now basketball is my favourite sport, if I had not tried it wouldn’t have been possible for me to brag about my accomplishments today. If you do not try to do something, you will never know if you are good at it. Confidence is the key when it comes to trying something new. Don’t be a failure by thinking you cannot do something or not even try. When making a mistake, try harder the next time and it will eventually become easy. You will be very happy and pleases with yourself when you try to do something and succeed. When attempting to do something put in the effort so you can be the best at it. I have learned that not trying is worst than trying and failing. I have so much...

...trying to stay awake, I pondered over a question. How can a subject possibly be so uninteresting? On every lesson, the teacher would go on forever about how ingenious the poet's use of verbs was, and how wonderfully he or she described the situation while using only a few words. She also never seemed to miss an opportunity to praise the author's brilliance while creating the characters. "How could it be possible for a literary work to be flawless?" – I asked myself waiting for my classmates' reaction; however, nobody seemed to dare to oppose the teacher's viewpoint. I decided to become the "pioneer". My chance came when we were learning about "The Miserable Ones" by Victor Hugo. My teacher immediately divided the characters into two separate compartments labelled "good" and "bad". I could not comprehend the teacher's notion that Javert, one of the characters, was a complete essence of evil and malevolence. She did not even consider any of his admirable traits such as his devotion to work or self-discipline. I personally considered him misguided rather than evil, but when I shared my view with the teacher, I was ignored. Days passed, and after numerous criticized and even ridiculed attempts to speak up my mind, my...

...Here is an interview for Dr. Jimmy Adegoke who works in department of geosciences, and he is a climatologist whose research emphasizes the role of the land surface as drivers of weather and climate. I prepared several questions, and the central point I talked with him is what differences between business student and science student. I interviewed him in the student union, and his solemn and cautious leave me a deep impression when he put his palms together devoutly. When I finished my self-instruction, he stood up and shook hands with me, but no smile. I felt a little nervous. I told him that I am a business student, and our major is totally different, which is the reason I choose him to be my interviewee. He said his work is complex and complicated because it is not only teach, but also includes some researches about biology and geography, the supervision of master student, participating conference and the community of finical planning. I asked him what the favorite part in his work is. This question seems carried him back, and he paused as if to find a way to phrase his next thoughts. And then, he continued to say that to teach and work with students is his favorite work. He also said to spend a lot of time on research is not his will, and he would like to be with his family if there are 48 hours a day. When he said this I felt a man who has sense of responsibility and loves his family deeply. .To answer the central point of this interview, his response is that business students...

...I want to take this time to express to you how much of an amazing, beautiful, thoughtful, kind and patient mother you are. Thank you for all you have done for our family. Every day you inspire me to be a better version of myself. Teaching me that in order to be a successful happy woman, I have to stay motivated and determined to accomplish my goals. College is hard, it is a constant cycle of stress that makes you want to give up. But every time the idea of giving up crosses my mind, I think of you. You always motive and inspire me to push myself and never give up. You tell me to struggle now, so that I do not have to struggle later; and you have no idea how much those words have changed they way I experience the difficult times I face in college....

...From the love for Helen that springs from Paris’ impassioned organs to the “fixed mark” that Shakespeare so passionately advocated for, our societal portrayal of love has wavered through the ages. Feeling of such ardent desire, be it carnal or maudlin, can be found in forms of art from all ages. For example, the hit single “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley” is a testament to all love that holds steadfast whilst “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepard” by Sir Walter Raleigh scolds the Shepard false vows of love and as the “The Birth of Venus” by Sandro Botticelli exalts the beauty of the female physical form. These three classic pieces of art contain similar and distinct ideals that our society has imposed on love. Somewhere engrained in everyone’s memory is Rick Astley’s phrase “Never Gonna Give You Up” paired with the popular accompanying rhythm that so gracefully pounces off one’s eardrums. Rick’s lyrics, “A full commitment is what I’m thinking of” attests to the modern attitude towards true love; Rick sees and values a love that can withstand age, as unwavering and unconditional as time....

...are here in pursuit of our dreams in life but some of us may give up when the going gets tough and the challenges seem impossible, but faith in our hearts is the fuel that will propel us through the challenges we face in life prior to realizing our dreams. According to Helen Steiner Rice a well-known poet, faith is a force that is greater than knowledge or power or skill and many defeats turn to triumph if you trust in God’s wisdom and will. On the journey towards our dreams the road may be tough and many of us will be faced with many tasks more than we can bear; challenges like working to support ourselves, raising children in addition to the course workloads may be very daunting and impossible and many may give up their dreams. But always remember the hills ahead are never as steep as they seem and with faith in our hearts and believe in ourselves we can climb until we reach our dreams. I remembered when my husband was preparing for pharmacy school he was a fulltime student, working for 12 hours a day, taking care of the household expenses, and he barely got 5 hours of sleep a day but despite the challenges he never gave up his dream of becoming a pharmacist. He was relentless in his pursuit of his dream through believe in himself and faith in God; and now he is a practicing pharmacist. As many of us are pursuing our dreams we may be confronted with many challenges, which may abort our dreams if we give up, but see challenges as opportunities in disguise. Remember challenges...

...One of my favorite inspirational lines of all time is from Jim Valvano during his ESPY’s speech in 1993 where he proclaimed” Don’t Give up, Don’t Ever Give Up”. Malala, Gabrielle, Jeanna, and the survivors from the Chilean Coal Mine catastrophe all had this mindset when faced with their predicaments. They were not going to give up, and were going to fight to regain their function and their will to live; namely, to keep on hoping and to avoid despair. Many actions enabled these people to stay hopeful, including their faith and daily prayer to God, love and support from their families and loved ones, and the devoted actions of healthcare providers and politicians. Each action enabled each person to remain hopeful and never give up. One action...

...In 2013 Robin Thicke released a music album named “Blurred Lines” it contained a song with the same name. The Song ‘Blurred Lines” became the number one song on the music billboard 200. The song became a sensation all over the world and it earned Robin Thicke millions of dollars. The musician and his producer Pharrell Williams were riding on a cloud of success until they were accused of committing copyright infringement. The family of a legendary musician started the process of suing Thicke and Williams claiming that the money making song was based off of a song that was released by Marvin Gaye in 1977 named “Got to Give it Up”. The Gaye family claimed that Thicke and Williams committed copyright infringement because the “Blurred Lines” song had too many similarities in the hook, keyboard-bass interplay, lyrics and theme of the song. The legal concept that comes in to play here is copyright infringement. The song at questioned broke the law because it had likeness of another song and that Thicke used the former song to make is million dollar song “Blurred Lines”. The musician Thicke stole the intellectual property of Marvin Gaye when he created the “Blurred Lines” song. In a business such as a record company they type of trouble can easily happen. Managers that work in fields where copyrights are attached to every product that the business releases should be have a plan in place to identify copyright infringement. Millions and millions of songs have been created and there is...

...bullet proof protection but don't confuse him for the wimpy FBI. Fighting for the red, white, and blue he is living symbol for freedom, but don't confuse him with the president. Captain America- despite him being a super soldier- provides idealistic life and morality: he is a strong role model for americans and always views things on the bright side, while being a great leader. He is not only the best superhero ever but gives hope to everyone and provides a positive message on never giving up. He started from the bottom of the pit and never gave up; he became the best “man” he could, even though he had a little help from science. Transforming his life to be accepted, volunteering to become a super soldier, accepting his new reality, Captain America never gives up. People look up to him because he started off not accepted by societies view; he was a scrawny malnourished man that got rejected multiple times. Even though he had the help of military science, the olympic athlete abilities and physical attractiveness gave people hope that if they never give up they can succeed at anything they want. He is still human though. “ But we are also human beings, with feelings and emotions.” (page 59 Our Superhero Ourself) says Captain America, this shows people that even though he has this special ability he can relate to how humans feel and how tough it is to over come that specific standard. People can relate to him after the science experiment just as much as they...
