new extent that can be taken offensively to the girls. This does backfire and makes the girls offended, so Queenie replies, “We are decent” (199). It is understandable that Lengel has to do his job and make sure everyone is following the store’s policies, however there is a right way to do it and a wrong way to do it. Lengel’s actions were too aggressive and eventually led to having Sammy quit his job as an employee of A&P. Lengel definitely makes the worst impact on Sammy’s life in the story,…
This past Saturday morning, I motivated my little brother Vincent, my little sisters Tess and Alex and my cousin Olivia to volunteer at a local food and clothing distribution center in Chula Vista, Turning the Heart Center. Vincent is thirteen years old, Tess is nine, Alex is twenty and Olivia is twenty-three. I invited them all to spend the night at my house the night before. We laughed, had dinner and spoke about life in general. I went on to tell them how thankful I was for all God has…
to work great. This tip was definitely beneficial because by making that face, enough skin was in the mask and that made enunciation a bit easier. As the weeks progressed, I did start to feel some frustration. I was, still am and will continue to do a lot of training and with the mask. I realized that training this new voice model would be a serious challenge! This certainly did not help when I had a cold. I understand why voice writers have different profiles for when they are sick. Having…
How could there be no reports filed after what I had witnessed? I observed a man pull and swing an inmate to her knees! How could this clash not be considered the use of force? Questioning this sergeant’s authority is not something that I desired to do. Especially this particular sergeant, this RC sergeant had a reputation for not adhering to the rules, not reporting the use of force and creating the Greenwall in her unit. Standing there for what felt like five minutes, sweat beading on my…
day she studies and does homework for anywhere up to twelve hours. She is very dedicated to doing her absolute best in school rather than just skate by which is admirable to me. When we do homework together and I get distracted or am procrastinating she reminds me or helps me understand the assignment and I will do the same for her. Sometimes Gabby cannot see how wonderful and truly amazing she is and anytime she doubts herself whether is school related or a personal issue she is struggling with…
friends. Unfortunately many of us live throughout different states, but when we need to dance we all know where to conjoin. In the case of my family, I can honestly say I am blessed for the roots I was born with. My family is from Arcos de Valdevez, Viana do Castelo, Portugal. Arcos de Valdevez is the capital for Rancho and Concertina players. The concertina is a diatonic button accordion that I have been playing for three years in addition to…
16 to 22 here as from verse 16 onward Qohelet introduces his new topic on judgement in a typical manner by using “I saw something” signaling another reflection. Although he mentions in v. 17 “a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed”, I do not see any significant connection of these verses with verses 1 to 15. In discerning the theology of Ecclesiastes, I note that within the book that there are tensions which are multiplicity of competing speaking voices with different ideologies.…
A bead of sweat slid down her temple slowly while ABBA played from the speakers. The sound was drowned out by the fans on the countertop. Rey hated run down convenience stores. They stunk and rubbed her the wrong way. Rey flipped through the rack of brochures and postcards while avoiding the cashier's glance. The man in his mid-forties was indefinitely trying to look down her shirt. Poe chose one hell of a spot. She picked up a 'Gorgeous Grand Canyon!' postcard and placed it on the grimy…

George Shultz has had a quite remarkable career moving from the academic world, to government, then to business, and back again to government. One might hypothesize that his success in these very different venues rested to some extent on his skills in learning the right lessons from his experiences. What actions did he take to continue learning throughout his long career? Shultz had an ability to seek out new experiences such that “spiraled learning” occurred, whereby lessons were gleaned…
