and how they portrayed the older adults. One stereotype that I explored was that older adults tend to hang around in casinos, which led me to spending two nights wandering the Soaring Eagle Casino. Another stereotype I explored was that only older adults tend to play bingo which I also did. The third stereotype that I explored was that older women tend to spend their time shopping and are always looking for a good sale, this required that I spend some…
district seemed like a fun, easy challenge—until I started trying to type. Running a whole school district entails a vast number of responsibilities and details to consider. This is one of the reasons I have zero interest in pursuing an administrative role. However, like the loose guidelines of this assignment, I’m also attempting to loosely describe my ideal district. One challenge I faced with this vision is my limited exposure to buildings or grade levels other than secondary. I can easily…
Danbury and the surrounding cities. During the past five weeks, I have encountered many different diseases, people, environments, and professions in nursing that gave me a broader idea of what community nursing truly is. I got to experience four weeks first hand with two different visiting nurses in the Fairfield and Danbury area and one week with the Health Department going on health inspections at two different places. With this, I give you my reflection of what my experience has been so far…
Angel Since I was a little girl, I can remember every little detail about my grandfather. I looked up to him. He was my idol. He would always visit on holidays and birthdays. He always came bearing gifts. What little kid wouldn’t love that? He was constantly there for me and my other siblings. He was the one who gave me my first car. He did so many things for me. He helped me with so many things. He also taught me many things in life. He truly was the most caring and generous man, I had ever…
their own implications. Have you ever thought what the difference between a tourist and a traveler is? I am not a scientist or a linguistic expert, but in this essay I will try to find the differences and similarities between these two groups of people, and put them side by side in order to clarify somehow the question quoted above and, why not answer it. Tourist: “someone who is visiting a place for pleasure or holiday” and Traveler: “someone who is on a journey or someone who travels often”.…
Vacations are often spent with friends or family. Traveling can be complicated when you have to decide what destination you want to go to and why. Moreover, planning a vacation is harder than it may seem since you need to narrow down your reasons why you would want to travel to that particular location. Although, there is many reasons people go on vacation and it differs for every person. Those reasons can be categorize in few different forms such as to celebrate a romance, explore your dream…
both parties; including dialogue made it seem like Kane was bringing the reader along on the journey. The themes that I noted in Kane’s book were humor, history, conflict, hardships, and loss/destruction. In the “Prologue,” Kane discusses Moi’s travels to Washington D.C. to deliver his testimony before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (Kane, p. 5). In addition, Moi had written a letter for the U.S. President in which he invited him to visit the Huaorani and explain to them why the…
crew leader I participated in organizing the freshman orientation, getting assigned a group of freshman to do activities with, and throughout the year visit a freshman classroom and do activities with them. Those activities varied, disguised as exciting games, they were actually great metaphors for skills that they could apply to high school and through life. I wanted to make this the best orientation ever for them and I wanted to make them feel comfortable because I knew what it was like to be…

Jews then followed from other countries like Germany, Italy, Spain, England (Schoenberg, The Virtual Jewish World UK. Christians were prohibited to work as moneylenders and were able to sell at high interest rates because of their domination in the marketplace (Schoenberg, The Virtual Jewish…
I chose these essays because they were among the best that I wrote this semester. From these three articles, I have realized that they are both self-motivating and informative. Essentially, the essays are about people who are interested in finding out something new or developing new ideas about things. I wrote the essays from my personal experiences and views. The first two essays describe the experiences I had when writing a one page paper of a seventeen-page report and the experience that I…
