...Holden will not apply himself when he returns to school. It is empirically proven Holden will not change his behavior because he has been kicked out of multiple schools, he has never followed through on a statement of change before, he makes excuses instead of solving problems, and even after getting professional help at the end of the book, he still acts and thinks the same way, presenting no change. History proves that Holden will not change, which is why he will not engage himself when he returns to school. Some people say that Holden will apply himself in school, however, history proves that Holden will not change and will not apply himself in school. Holden will not apply himself when he returns to school because he has not applied...

As she walked up the stairs and into “their” bedroom, she left a trail of rose petals. When she was in her room, she went to the corner and just broke down. “That night wasn’t just any night; it was the night you walked out of my heart, reaching the point of no return... ...The Story... ~Hebe’s POV~ “Arron, where are you going? It is late already” Hebe asked as she was walking out of the shower and saw her husband putting on his jacket. “I need to go finish some things at work,” Arron answered “Can’t you. do it tomorrow?” asked Hebe and then she added, “I will go with you and help you since it will be a Saturday.”She smiled but her smile faded as fast as it had come. “No Hebe, I need to go and do it tonight, don’t wait for me, I will be back pretty late,” said Arron. Then he walked over and pecked Hebe on the cheeks. *Hebe thoughts*[What is wrong with him tonight? He never pecks me on the cheeks, he always kiss me on my forehead that would give me a sense of security and kind of saying he will always be here. I am going lose my husband soon, aren’t I?

...Returning To School Sheena Alexander ENG 121 Jennifer Williams 03/10/13 Returning To School With the current requirements for certain jobs available and the increase in job losses I have decided to return to school to obtain my degree and allow myself a higher chance at landing the job that I really want. My name is Sheena Alexander and I am 29 years old with a husband and two beautiful children. If you had asked me 7-10 years ago if I had any intentions on returning to school I would have said I don’t know or maybe may be not. It was an idea that I played around with a lot in my head. It was back in February of 2009 when I finally made the decision that it was best for me to return to school and obtain a degree. I have been working since I was 16 years of age and with all the jobs and experience that I have under my belt I have never seemed to be fulfilled with any of my pass jobs. I noticed how some of my co workers would get better opportunities within the company before I did simply because they had a degree. I would often wonder if I went back to school and got my degree that could be me but I just could not fathom the thought of sitting in a classroom or just going back to school. I remember working for a company called Orkin Pest Control and anytime they would post management, leadership, or trainer positions I would get so excited at the chance to apply. After being with the company two years I always figured that it would be easy for me to...

...having all of those things? Returning to school now would ensure that I could have money, with a successful job and happiness in the gratification of completing my degree, all the while, setting a stellar example for my daughter, making my family proud and allowing me the opportunity to obtain a college degree. All of this is essential positive things to add to this journey called life. I was once the young high school graduate with bright eyes and a promising future going to college. I enrolled in a large local University and started my journey to arming myself with the necessary tools to have a stellar career. After the initial shock of freedom and adulthood, two years later, I found myself socially at the top of my game, but educationally the dean had placed me the former 3.8 high school student on academic probation. I was now struggling to make the grade in college. I now know that I was not focused, or driven, my priorities were not intact and the entire long-term goal to me was just a fleeting futuristic challenge. The importance of college had not set in and therefore it appeared I was paying to go to school to become a better social butterfly. My parents did not seem to find the importance of that concept and therefore quickly enhanced my introduction to the “real world” and what life was all about. As the old story goes, I dropped out of college with the intent to go back and took my hand at surviving in the adult world. I was as expected constantly struggling...

...Clara took of all her clothes in school assembly. She did this, for what at the time seemed like no particular reason at all. But later on we find out that she lives in a home where the mom has a boyfriend, which she spends most of her time with. Because of that, the mom doesn’t really pay any attention to Clara. So she feels somewhat offended by this, and chooses to strip down in the school. This is of course an act of extremism and, even though the author tries to keep the suspicions down, we notice that there’s something wrong in the household she lives in. We also sense a kind of strained relationship between Clara and Stan. She’s supposedly mad at Stan because of all the attention he’s getting, or he might actually be sexually abusing her. I know this is a strange thing to say, but when you hear them conversing. You might know why I’m thinking like I do. Just touching him makes her shiver. When we hear her mom laughing over the attention craving act Clara performed earlier, we finally understand that Clara want her mom to be concerned about what she’s doing. I mean they can’t even have a normal conversation, and the mother shows no interest at all in changing that. Just look at the scene where she returns from school and the mother just asks if there’s any news, and when Clara says no, she doesn’t dig any deeper. 1. What did Clara do and how did she do it? Clara stripped off in the assembly hall in front of the whole Girls only school, and just walked away. 2....

...of Mainlander Taiwanese in China. They moved from China to Taiwan in 1949 and back “home” with their descendents in 1990s. By examine the life of seventeen respondents in Dongguan/Shanghai in 2004-2005, we argue that they were in sense of double marginality despite the diversity of the sample. Whilst foreigners regarded China as a new territory to explore more economic benefits, these returnees were more likely to regarded China as a place with sense of belonging, not sense of colonising. However, they found that the real China was different from what they expected before return. They felt being excluded from Taiwan, but they also felt unwilling to participate in China due to this home disillusion. Further discussion on the adaptation of other type Taiwanese in China will be displayed in separated papers. Keyword: return migration, Taiwan, China! 1. Introduction Whilst most migration research focuses on why people move from poorer countries to richer countries and how they overcome the widely cultural gap in migration, there is little research stressing on migration either on the opposite direction or between countries with cultural proximity.

...her dream was going to become a reality. Going back to college in obtaining her degree was happening no matter what it took. After high school, Hines started college and quickly decided against it. She wanted to get married and start a family, in which she did. Looking back now Hines would have preferred to get her degree before starting a family. Although, the love she has for her family is undeniable. She feels as though it would have been a lot easier. The guilt of not spending enough time with her family would not be a concern, as well as being able to take more classes. “As parents we should lead by example, it is important to stress education, but even better to prove the point being made”, said Hines....

...1 “Why college education is important to me” Achieving Academic Excellence February 6th, 2014 The purpose of this essay is to show the importance of a college education and to provide many reasons why a college education would be important to me. I will incorporate a few quoted references along with some statistical data and my personal opinion. About twenty years ago I couldn’t give an answer to “why college is important to me”. I did enroll in a college and lasted about three semesters. I didn’t do well in many of my classes because I had poor study habits, lacked maturity, was never really focused, and just didn’t have any real motivation and goals set for myself. I never really gave it much thought. The point is I just didn’t take advantage of what college would mean to me and to my future. I wanted to enter the work force right away because I thought that I could land a good job without a college education. After fifteen years of doing different jobs and not making enough money to support a family on my own, I was finally at a crossroads. What am I going to do with my life? Do I continue to struggle? Those were really good questions. I realized that it wasn’t possible to land good jobs without better knowledge and the only way possible is to go back to school. I did some soul searching and came to the conclusion that if I am going to achieve something in this life and qualify for many positions then I must go back to college and work very hard for a degree. I did a lot...

...Autistic Kid I was born and raised in China. According to its law every family is only allowed to have one child. Therefore, I grew up with no brothers or sisters. My parents used to be very busy with their work when I was a toddler. They left home very early in the morning and came back very late, so I did not see my parents often. My grandma was the only person to look after me at that time. Thinking back, the only time I saw my parents was during the weekends. I would sometimes look for my mom and dad. I asked my grandma one time: “where are Mom and Dad?” My grandma was a very humble and good-hearted person. She would say, “Mom and dad are working today and they will bring your favorite toys home tonight. So, you had better be a good boy tonight and finish your dinner.” I did not see any toy the next day and would forget to ask about my toys.My grandma used to spoil me a lot because my parents were not around and I was her only grandson at the time. She would feed me 3 meals a day and give me anything I ask for. She would carry me around even though I was capable of walking by myself. She would not to go to sleep before I fall asleep.Under this kind of circumstance, I gradually became self-centered and did not know how to communicate with others well. When I grew much older, I thought I was very special and could have everything from my parents. The reason was that they did not look after me very much when I was young. Therefore, I developed a habit of...

...I chose to look at a video of school rules and their importance in the 1950s, which I found on YouTube. Although uploaded to YouTube in 2008, the video was produced by Coronet Instructional Films in 1953. This video particularly intrigued me because I am interested in becoming a teacher and always want to see how school life and the classroom environment were significant in a time other than today. Also, with my research paper topic being childhood in the 1950s, this was particularly helpful in describing what school life was like. Much was happening during this time including The Montgomery Bus Boycotts, civil rights, WWII, desegregation of schools and the atomic bomb. It was intriguing to see how the video went about enforcing rules during the hardships of the time and making sure all students knew and understood just how significant rules can be. The video lays out the importance of rules, especially in a challenging setting like a school and strives to make it clear to students that rules are made for a reason and no one is exempt from them. I had positive feelings while watching the video and I felt good in knowing that authority figures like principals and teachers are helping to ensure students understand the rules and know why they are used. I appreciated that the video is easy to follow and detailed enough to express the point but not so much as to overdo it. Three clear aspects of the video stuck out to me: 1. To have all students read, watch, and ask questions...
