When I think of the word career, I don’t just think of a professional option or activity, the first thing that comes to my mind is a lifestyle you enjoy based on your vocation. Therefore, my personality is going to impact my choice of a career. In addition, I have to think about my strengths and challenges I might experience in the career I am going to consider. So the four assessments I took were a helpful complement to the other tests I took before, along with some other tools in My Plan that were beneficial as well.…

Those very important because the way we treat people, is found in those character and with those character, I find that it is very easy to get along with others. Everyone will be honored to be respected and loved.…
As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…
Chop It All Off Two years ago, I had long, luscious, golden blonde hair that fell down to my waist, and I absolutely hated it. Everyone else seemed to love it, though, so I kept it. I dealt with the static, the lengthy drying time, and the hours of styling that I had dealt with ever since I was little, all because I wanted to be loved and accepted. I wanted to fit into the box of typical girls my age who all had the exact same haircut so that I would be considered “pretty” by the rest of my classmates, but I felt miserable in that box and I didn’t know how to escape.…
When I was growing up and my brother attended high school, I always enjoyed going to Friday night football games and watching the best part of the game: the halftime show. While I sat in the stands, my brother would be marching sets, creating intricate formations and blasting his trumpet at fortissimo. I dreamed to be a part of the sets of formations and play difficult music at rapid tempos. Once I entered middle school, I immediately signed up for band and assigned to play the oboe, a woodwind instrument in the double reed family and, arguably, one of the most difficult instruments to master. I didn’t know then, but I later found out that this activity would push me out of my comfort zone and learn not only challenging sonatas and melodies, but also life skills I would need to achieve my goals.…
When asked to define myself in one paper, I find it hard to show the details that I want to in the right light. When asked about my future after high school, I also have a hard time describing everything I want to get done because there are far too many things to name. The quote “ _____” (i want to be everyone and do everything and there isn’t enough life to do it all in) describes me to a tee, and I believe this college is the place I could do this in. Being a shy person for most of my life, many things were difficult for me. Specifically, last summer I had the opportunity for a summer job.…
“Describing myself” At first, this task seemed really easy. Who knows me better than me, myself? “Piece of cake”, I thought. Obviously, I was wrong.…
The five senses are the important, but some people take them for granted. If I had to choose one to live without I'd choose taste. In 2005, Duncan Boak lost his sense of smell after a brain injury. Since smell and taste are closely linked his taste was impacted as well. "It's so hard to explain but losing your sense of smell leaves you feeling like a spectator in your own life, as if you're watching from behind a pane of glass, it makes you feel not fully immersed in the world around you and it sucks away a lot of the color of life.…
I know I am a workaholic and I am trying to get away from this I am learning to delegate and put my foot down, especially saying “No”. I know I have always felt satisfied when I kept doing more and endlessly tiring myself. I know I have been encouraged by my own self to be me, to be straight with people and with my own self; my own wants and feelings rather than crooked and covert. In this manner I am learning to understand what I want and possibly how to get it.…
The Sense You Could Live Without The five senses: taste, smell, touch, sound, and sight, are the things that make life worth living. They are what illuminate and diversify life. Sight is a truly remarkable sense, as is hearing. These two senses allow you to be aware of everything that is going on around you.…
The five main senses are something that can be seen as simple, but complicated at the same time. Every single day of your entire life your senses have not only made you aware of your surroundings, but has also made connections and memories through what you see, smell, taste, touch and hear. All work together to make life something more than it really is. Throughout learning about every single sense, you can see the consistency of how our senses work together to understand safe and hazardous things of life. When the body is born or after a period of time goes without a sense, the body will naturally enhance the other senses to make up for lost perception.…
The 5 main ideas for this chapter are: smell, taste, touch, hearing, and vision. These ideas are our 5 senses. They are developed even before we are born. The senses are crucial for our survival and continued existence. In addition, they are responsible for enhancing our quality of life.…
Our five senses are vital to us. They enable us to experience and recognize the beautiful and complex world around us. They are the means by which we see the sunlight, listen to the bird song, taste the soft fruit, touch the beach sand and, smell the salty ocean air. Those are our senses, but are there truly just five senses?…
A Part of Me Everyone has something that they would consider important in their life. To others, they might not see what makes that object important to you, and that is what makes it significant. Sometimes, these things can create something you did not know it could, like a friend. Back when I was a kid, my friends and I played video games very often.…
Stop what you 're doing! Now, that I have your attention, I see that you’re reading this or at least listening to this. Did you notice you automatically read something without even thinking about it? Well, let me tell you this, imagine you can’t see, hear, smell, touch or even taste? Things would be different, that’s for sure.…
