...conversation, his overall feature captured my attention. I feel uncomfortable when he's here, I even feel cold whenever he's near. my spirit suddenly flew, every time he comes out of the blue. God, The Father You never chose to hurt me. Even if I am a sinful lady, You are always willing to forgive me. Even if I am moody and naughty, You still accepted the real me. I can't imagine life without You, You are the Father who made me dreams came true. You gave directions and clue, in order to follow the path wherever I go. You were the one who never gave up on me, You are the one who loved me truly. You are always there to guide me, You made my wishes come into reality. Mother I never thought living in this place, but for her, I am their cute received grace. In God, she always prays, to have a child a little bit same as her face. She never got tired of telling me, the person she wanted me to be. She never gave up on me, even if I am a brat dummy. She wants us to be together, sharing thoughts with each other. I will never find another, Cause she's the only person I can "Mother". Moving On It's really hard to say goodbye, to my one and only guy.

...Have you ever had that feeling that you just know it’s right but you can’t explain why? It’s like bigger than a ‘gut-feeling’, it just sounds right in your mind. Although, you can’t really explain why, it’s quite confusing really. I’ll try my best to let you understand this feeling for you. For me, I was born in Gothenburg, a small, quiet place in Sweden. I had the pleasure of living there for nine years, I never really at the time thought what an amazing place it really is. I’m not trying to say it has everything because it doesn’t - it just feels like home to me. It’s where I was born and raised. When you’re born somewhere and live there for quite a long time, you genuinely start to make a connection with it. It sounds really silly, but if you move country, the connection you had with that place will become a lot more apparent. As if your whole life, your heart is developing a special, strong bond with that place, you just don’t know it until you’re gone. I remember how at the age of seven (when you start school in Sweden), I would take a bus and a train, I loved this, it made me feel really independent, as if my parents had built that faith in me. I felt like I really deserved it, I felt like an adult. It was a total of forty-five minutes journey to school, by myself. At the time, I didn’t think that was a big deal, everyone did that. When all your surroundings have the same routine as you, it’s as if that small, precious thing isn’t really that valued anymore. You...

...Recently, within the past year, I was faced with a moral and ethical dilemma, which forced me to choose between honesty and loyalty (punc.) and the result of that choice will hopefully guide me in future decisions.(Good opening sentence) At the time of the incident I was working as a pharmacy technician in ________. The dilemma I was faced with involved a fellow technician who was hired at the same time as me and the two of us had become close friends during the course of our employment. Now this friend of mine was obsessed with bodybuilding to the extent that he was willing to steal intravenous steroids from the pharmacy. As a friend I tried to warn and convince him to stop stealing but because he was consistently successful in doing so, he ignored my advice.[F3] When the Pharmacy Manager was beginning (verb form: “…Pharmacy Manager began to…”) to get suspicious due to loss in inventory, he took his crime to another level,(punc.: ;) he began changing the stock quantity by using one of the pharmacists’ login and password. At this point, I was becoming more and more adamant in my warnings and was even requesting shift changes just so I would not be witness to his actions. If he would ask me why I was changing shifts (punc.: ,) I would lie and say it was due to school. So not only was I withholding the truth from my employer I was also falsifying it to my friend. After a month the manager was sure that one of the employees was stealing from the company and was almost positive it...

...Engelsk aflevering til den 8 feb. 2010 Why? Last summer, I went to London for the first time in my life, I was so excited. My dad and mom drove me to the airport, I thought the drive was so long that day, I had arranged with my best friend that we would meet at the airport at 7 o’clock in the morning, because our flight left at 11 o’clock and we had to check in 2 hours before boarding. We arrived, at our hotel at about 4 o’clock, we decided to unpack our things and after that we went out to eat, we ate at this big fancy restaurant and it tasted like something, I had never tasted before. We spend the rest of the day walking around in London. We had so much fun, shopping all day and then we got drunk at night, and experienced London’s nightlife. One of the biggest things I wished to do was, to see a musical, and I did see one, it was on our last night and I’m so glad I did, we saw “The sound of music”.

...Trichotillomania (trik-o-til-o-MAY-ne-uh) is an irresistible urge to pull out hair from your scalp, eyebrows or other areas of your body. Hair pulling from the scalp often leaves patchy bald spots, which people with trichotillomania may go to great lengths to disguise. They also deny that they have this condition in fear of what others may think or say to them or about them without fully understanding the current condition that person faces on a daily basis. For some people, trichotillomania may be mild and generally manageable. For others, the urge to pull hair is overwhelming and can be accompanied by considerable distress. Some treatment options have helped many people reduce their hair pulling or stop entirely.

...Why Me? Throughout my life, I have learned many lessons. I have learned how truly fortunate I am, even in the worst of times, how to define myself, what winning feels like, and what loosing everything feels. But the most important lesson that I have learned is that it is not my failures that define me, but how I recover from them. Not only have these lessons prepared me and made me a perfect candidate for this summer program, but also prepared me for the environment of Duke University in the future. When I was eleven years old, my role model, my hero, my daddy, lost his six year long battle with colon cancer and passed away. It was a long and agonizing journey that my entire family suffered through. I did not realize it at the time, but this painful experience had taught me many lessons that most people probably will not learn in their lifetime. One of the lessons this tragedy taught me was that if I could live through something as traumatic as a parent suffering and eventually dying, then I knew that I could get through anything that life threw at me, no matter how...

...Why is a degree for me? It is crazy how important it is to have a degree and on the job experience in our modern day society. Twenty or thirty years ago it was all about who you knew or how fast you could develop the skills required to compete in the industry in which you wanted to pursue a career. Technology is advancing in all fields whether it is the medical, logistical, agricultural, or communications; almost everything requires an education. In order for me to support myself and a family comfortably in the future I have decided that a degree is the right thing for me. Obtaining a college degree will require many hours of studying and learning different methods in which best suit you to obtain and withhold knowledge. According to a recent study that I participated in; one of my learning styles is being a sensing learner (Felder & Soloman, n.d.). This would imply that I like to learn from the facts and that I am careful and practical when coming to solutions or conclusions. Also sensing learners are not keen on courses that don’t have a direct connection with the real world. In the other study that I partook in, the results showed that I was a visual learner (Penn State, 2010). This means that I learn best from visual aides whether its pictures, diagrams, charts, timelines, demonstrations, or videos. Many people are visual learners due to the teaching criteria throughout school prior to college. This is unfortunate; because many colleges do not use much visual...

...Why College Is Important To Me There are so many reasons why college is important to me. However, the two most important reasons why college is important to me is that I want to be a role model for my two daughters. Secondly, furthering my education can mean a many great opportunities for advancing in my career and in life. Leading or setting the example for my daughters is very important to me. By actively portraying to my daughters the importance of having a college education after high school, they will engage into participating in a plethora of new opportunities in their own lives which will enhance their way of living. They see how hard I study and how important my grades are to me that it encourages them to do the same in their high school studies now. They actively partake in my studies now, which in turn, results in them asking me questions on what I am studying. Having them involved is having them engaged in their own thought processes. If I have done that for them then I feel like I am doing my job as a Mother. I encourage them to follow in my footsteps so that they can have a better life for themselves. The second reason college is so important to me is the fact it will change my way of life. Studies show that a college education leads to better paying careers and/or advancements in a career.

...Why College is Important to Me College is important to me for a couple of reasons. The reasons that going to college are important to me are so that I can prove to myself that I am capable of completing something as challenging as college and to show my children that no matter how long it takes, you can complete your goals and dreams. At the age of sixteen I dropped out of high school. I was not being challenged, the work was boring and the drama of high school was more than I wanted to be a part of. I had dreams of becoming a model and someday having a family. I began working immediately and was very happy. At the age of 18, I became pregnant and got married and soon had two children. I don’t believe that I am a typical college student, most students are looking to further their career or make more money; to find that new career. For me, it’s not about a new job or more money, but a sense of personal accomplishment and a desire to be an example to my kids. College View advises “more than ever, attending college provides opportunities for graduates which are not as widespread to those who have not received a higher education.” I didn’t believe that a college education was important. I thought that having a job, being a mom and being a functioning part of the society was enough. Until now, it was. I now have four children and each of them are starting their futures with a college education. I want to teach my children how important a college education is. According...

Some people find it difficult to determine the value of having a college education. Receiving a college degree can provide a higher salary, more opportunities and self worth.

Therefore, I was forced to work in some undesirable occupations, doing many menial tasks, and more importantly not happy with my career situation. My goals and dreams in regards to a college degree are driven by more than my own personal career objectives. I am the proud mother of three boys, and one of them will be graduating from high school soon. I want him to look up to me and say if mommy can do it so can I. I went back to college for a better future for myself and family. I am proceeding towards that goal of obtaining a promotion.

...September 6, 2012 Many people find themselves questioning the importance of a college education. They ask themselves, “Why is College important to me?” One answer is extremely crucial in todays economy. In order to succeed and have little or no struggle financially, you must have a education that will end up being a career of your choice. Not just something that you have to settle for. My reasons for a why college is important to me are not only because of money but it has to do with me and my life. I have always dreamed of being a third or fourth grade teacher since I was about five years old. My ultimate dream and goal in life is to achieve that dream and become a teacher. With out a education I would not be able to go into that field of expertise. It reminds me of what John F Kennedy said in the Procalmation 3422 on July 25,1961. He said,”Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest ability, because in each of us is a private hope and dream which, fullfilled, can be translated into benefits for everyone and greater strength for our nation.” So as I think about this quote, it makes all my dreams and goals fill like they are reachable and are more meaningful to me everyday. Cause I do have that goal and dream and I want to keep it going. Also, college is important to me because it helps with the jobs and career markets. In this time period today, finding a job or career is very competitive and hard to come by. You must now have some kind of education...

Until one day, everything changed. I woke up in a hospital bed with no recollection of what happened to me. My parents overwhelmed me with hugs and called in the doctor to explain what happened. During my scrimmage, I was checked into the boards and severely injured. I had a concussion and had ruptured my spleen. The concussion explained why I couldn’t remember and I still couldn’t understand what I was going through. Naturally, the first thing I asked was, “Can I still play?”. The doctor put his head down and answered quietly, “No”. I was out for the season....
