...bigger than life on earth and that’s the almighty God. I practice the Catholic religion. I was born in Cameroon-Africa. I spent most of my childhood and teenage years in a small city in Cameroon called Kumba. I was lucky to be born in a home where education was a priority. I attended elementary and high school in kumba. I later moved to Sweden where I read marketing and international Law at Linnaeus University. I moved to the United States in the year 2010 for a pursuit of my passion, greater opportunities and a better life for myself. I am presently a Nursing Pending student at Valencia College; looking forward to becoming the most passionate and best life saving Nurse I certainly can. My life history has been a mix of happiness, pain, surprises and pursuit. Many things have contributed to the mindset I crave. I was born in a country where opportunities are meant for the wealthy and politically powerful families. I come from a less privilege family. I was raised in a troubled neighborhood where success was hardly a reality. Gunshots in the middle of the night from robbers, rape, illiteracy, crime, drugs, and prostitution were amongst the issues I grew within on a daily basis. I had bad and good friends. My parents had instilled in me a strong education mind set, so I knew education was going to be the key to my success. I did not mind walking for about 3miles to school everyday because I knew education was the only way out. Sometimes life hits us in unfair...

...While this may seem like quite a harsh benchmark — How can one be excited about living every day? Isn’t that wearisome? — it is possible. And no, it isn’t wearisome at all. I’m not talking about crazy highs where you jump around screaming at the top of your lungs, though that can happen on some days. I’m also not talking about being 100% happy without a single ounce of negativity in your soul (this would have more to do with achieving nirvana than finding your life purpose), though it can well be like this on some days too. Here, I’m talking about a constant, inner excitement about life where you know your place in the world and that you’re doing things to make it happen, even if slowly. Even if you have a “naturally jaded” personality, even if you are 40, 50, 60, or even 70, when you have a purpose and you are living true to it, life is filled with meaning and happiness each day. Which brings us...

...as if we are in a whirlwind of events. So many things happen to us in this life that are totally out of our control. Many times in the midst of all the things going on around us (both good and bad) we stop and ask ourselves “What’s Life Really All About?” Our Lord Jesus wants us as believers to have faith in Him and place our lives totally in His loving hands. Jesus wants to use our lives for the cause of Christ if we’ll let Him. Jesus does not want anyone to die lost (unsaved) and He reaches out to us from His Word today and tries to reason with our hearts and minds with a clear statement about our life, how the Gospel message pertains to us in it’s importance, with the things in life that Satan will use to get us as human beings to not think about our soul, and says to us: "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Mark 8:35–37 KJB) For an illustration to the importance of using our lives for the cause of Christ, and a person knowing the Lord Jesus as Saviour and Lord there was a famous missionary to India named “Henry Martyn” who lived from 1781 to 1812, he was a brilliant man. A Cambridge University student, Martyn’s gift for mathematics was seen early in his life when he was honored at only twenty years of age with the highest recognition...

...Live in Legacy, Live a Life! A saying from Mary Anne Radmacher says “Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow.” Many people want to achieve success in life, but it is easier said than done. There are so many distractions that it can be challenging to discipline one's self to accomplish a monumental goal. By keeping the faith and courage in yourself, you can dramatically increase your chances of becoming successful in whatever you choose to pursue. This is it! Courage! Courage is what Jesse Robredo takes for him to be successful. For trials and difficulties he encountered, he tried to do his best, and he did not give up even if a failure hinders him along the way to success. He provides the most appropriate model for every one of us to impersonate; but, is it only Jesse that can do such a thing? Is it only him who can leave a legacy and make a difference to everyone’s life? Jesse Robredo lived in a very simple way. Stories abound of how Jesse was so unassuming, dressed always modestly, lived in an ordinary house, had simple taste in food, and were always comfortable. The disability of his father did not affect Jesse’s way of living, but it gives him more courage to do his best for his family. Although not given all he wanted in life, he was raised and filled with love and well care of his father. The teaching of his father became a guide of Jesse into his daily life. Even in a very simple...

...It is only worth watching movies that can teach us something about real life, agree or disagree？ I don’t agree with this statement.In my opinion,all wovies can be,more or less,instructive and beneficial to us. Movies have become an important means of entertainment for modern people.Whether they are science fiction movies ,historical movies or movies that illustrate modern life,most of them are based on the prevailing social perspective and are consistent with our current value systems.When going to the theatre to spend a pleasant weekend,we don’t have to be too selective to watch movies which are meant to “teach” us.In fact,all movies can be,more or less,instructive and we are fully justified to choose whatever we like in the movie theatre. Different movies reflect various aspects of our real life.What we will learn from the movie all depends on how we comprehend these intructive information incorporated within the movies.Some people prefer to watch science fiction movies which not only fulfills their imagination for the future but also evokes their interest in real life science study;some people enjoy historical themes because they find many similarities between historical figure and contemporary people.They find most of the movie characters’ maneuvers still practical in real life;Others,including me,choose to watch movies that illustrate modern life.I discover many novelties from the movies:from basic physics principles in “The big bang theory”，to the breathtaking...

The only thing I found to be challenging was to have to sit in a classroom with several other students, I never could stay focused. That’s why I love the fact that I can farther my education online. I don’t really have a career history because I have only worked one serious job. That would be in a retail store called Kroger as a Customer Service Helper/Representative. I had many duties such as: Floor Supervisor, basic accounting, running a register, answering phones, and many more. I loved my job I had there, especially my customers that always found a way to keep my days going and grinning big. With my degree, I plan to one day be able to open my own day care facility with a nursing station and head start. But I still have a long ways to go before that day comes.

...During my internal medicine rotation in my final year of medical school, I decided that that is what I would enjoy doing all my life. I vividly remember an incident where a young male patient admitted for recurrent episodes of acute abdominal pain and diarrhea, but the etiology was unclear even after extensive investigations. It turned out to be an unusual presentation of a genetic condition called hereditary angioedema. I was commended by the faculty members for my active involvement and thorough research on the subject. I am naturally inquisitive and this is the thing I love about medicine the most. You can never learn everything. It will always surprise you with a new case that will teach you something you never knew before. Medicine is the door to human...

With the passage of time, the dreams we have always had and we forget that we can´t do it, we cease to trust us, we become realistic without ideals.

...Jenny Smith November 28, 2011 Dr. Min Young Lee English 121 sec 28 The Coming of Age of the Male Characters in About a Boy About a boy is a contemporary novel written by the British author Nick Hornby. It incorporates constructs of post-modern writing by bringing into focus the artists, and styles, and prose of the vernacular. The setting of the novel takes place in London in the mid 1990s. About a boy gives a unique perspective of a coming of age story. It follows the coming of age of two boys of two very different ages; Will Freeman 36 years old and Marcus 12. This novel shows the contrast between consumerism and materialism with real interpersonal connections. Will Freeman made the decision to pursue materialism rather than personal friendships, and to live in self-imposed isolation. Will had the ability to buy “cool” clothes, and sunglasses and sneakers, and so was never at a loss for acquaintances. Marcus, on the other hand, felt isolation due to a lack of materialism. Marcus was an outsider in his school in London since he could not have the best “coolest” clothes, shoes, and haircuts and thus was always the target of bullying. However, as the plot progresses, Marcus and Will undergo transformational experiences together to become more connected to the people around them. The transformational experiences of Fiona’s suicide, falling in love, and Marcus’ arrest all culminate in the maturation of Will and Marcus’ and the genesis of interpersonal connections between...
