A Good Thing

Have you ever thought about what it would take to be a good employee? Have you ever wondered what kind of job you might want to do? Have you ever thought about being a babysitter? Hestia is the protector of the Hearth and the home and the goddess of fire. Hestia was the first goddess in Mount Olympus and is respected by many people. She is the sister of Poseidon, Hades, Zeus, Hera and Demeter. Hestia is best suited to be a babysitter because she is known for being very calm in high pressure…

The Prius wasn’t...a new car. It was several years old, actually, and even if it hadn’t been Lucinda’s family would have done good work on it and you might have thought that it was. A booster seat was buckled haphazardly in the back next to an abandoned McDonald’s bag that held a single decaying fry, which clung to its short fast-food life with all the desperation of students on their last day of summer. I could relate. When I got in, my friend apologized for the “old weed” smell - her older…

After reading the comments of my peers from project two. I can confidently say that the majority of the class liked my piece about Guantanamo Bay. I am extremely grateful for the ones that liked it gave me positive feedback. I am also grateful to the people that critiqued my work. This will allow me to go back and make the changes I need to make my piece that much stronger. The critique that came out the most was the critique of me not having a clear-cut audience. I am aware of that mistake and…

There was once a pair of acrobats. They meet in the circus and got married only a few short years after meeting. Together they had an exuberant life. Their performance appeared at almost every circus in the United States. Their lives consisted of traveling and bringing joy to others. They loved what they did, they were very fond of the crowd they had, the enjoyed the laughing, the simply appreciated life. While this astounding couple were traveling, the women became indisposed. She tried her…

When comparing the results of my first quiz to my last one I noticed that they were a little different but not by much. To my surprise I actually scored slightly lower the second time, I think that as the semester went on I realized that I wasn’t as good at communication as thought. Taking this Intro to communication course I was able to have a new insight and view on what it means to communicate. Even though my score was slightly lower I feel as though some aspects of my communication have…

source of pride. It is thought of as a good thing to be successful. But success can become threatening when your classmates, neighbors, or coworkers are more successful than you. Then your pride is hurt. Though success itself is a good and positive thing, it creates competition that can foster negative interactions. In this society,…

sports are beneficial are, that some pushing in competitive sports is good, you can learn valuable life lessons, and it can help with health/physical advantages. First some pushing in competitive sports is good for kids/teens. According to Jacqueline Stenson “some 19- or 20-year-olds may wish their parents had pushed them more to stick with sports when they were younger rather than giving up…”. This shows me that pushing can be good because, it can force teens/kids to think about if they…

Losing is a Win The choice is simple, you can either praise your child for every little thing no matter the outcome, or allow your child to learn the best life lessons that can be taught to them by playing sports. When we are a child we look at life with rose-colored glasses, as parents if we allow our children to continue to look through their eyes in that way, they will miss the valuable opportunity to learn how to cope when life is no longer that rose color. Some parents want to protect…

A few extra things that I can mention about my overall time spent at the ASANTE hospital is that it is very difficult. There are times where I did not know what to do, or who to call to fix certain problems and/or to get extra assistance. For instance, I had an incident where someone threw up all over outside of the South Lobby where I was located, encountered a disfunction with one of the toilets here that had people coming to me over and over to complain to and many angry people who took their…

country. After Maduro became president in 2013, the Venezuelan people did not have any food in cabinets. When despair came into families and hungry consumed them. That is when queues started to be chaos in the country. Queues just to buy basic goods. Citizens started to leave their jobs to buy food and if being lucky get two or three products. Needs began to consume the country. The quality of life began to fall. Insecurity could take place at any time of the day; thieves could attack, or…
