Kristina.

...Lovers Or Friends “Wake up Eric time to go to school its your first day, don't want you to be late on your first day of school” Eric mom yelled. “Coming mom” said Eric, “Wait one second and let me put on my shirt” Eric added. The bus pulled up in front of the white picket fence house and Eric is still not ready so he grabs his comb, brush, and his book bag and rush onto the bus. Everyone on the bus starred at Eric as he walked up the three black and dirty stairs. “C'mon boy sit down so we can leave to head to school” the rude bus driver said. Eric didn't know who to sit by because he was new to the school and obviously he thinks no one is going to talk to the new kid. He walked down the hallway as these two light skin boys both wearing fitted jeans and an Hollister shirt one was wearing green and the other wearing a bright yellow color and both wearing all white jordans looking like a pack of sour skittles. As he passed them 1 they started laughing hysterically, as Eric looked at them with a little smirk on his face, one of the boys says to Eric “what are you wearing,them bad ahh reebok and them bad ahh cargos, school Boy”! Eric sat down by himself in the seat behind the two boys. They reached atthe huge, white school building. He got of the bus quickly as possible until then the two boys pushed him out of his way so they could walk he walked through. He had a mean mug on his face like he wanted to punch them in their faces but it’s the first...

The answer to your problem is 1.772453850905516.” Sam replied. Samantha Harry Jade is an eight grader at Half Blood Heights Middle School. She is extremely smart but is underestimated. After recently hearing about the government crashing, Sam is investigating. Right now though, she is stuck in Miss Dodds maths class. “If you keep talking back to her, you’re going to get kicked out.” Her best friend Liam said. “So? Better than staying here.” “Samantha and Liam! Why are you talking in my class? Is there something I should know?” The maths teacher asked. “ No Miss Dodds. We were simply talking because this class is boring and repetitive.” Those are some choice words you should never say to a teacher. Of course, Sam did though. Miss Dodds face grew red. If possible, steam would be spewing out of her ears. “Both of you, out of my class now!” The lady seethed in anger. Sammy and Liam grabbed their stuff and left the classroom.

Deluxe

...The first thing I would like to do is describe what kind of organization that IM runs with Deluxe Tool. Looking at Deluxe Tool, it is easy to see that this company operates under a bureaucratic control. This organization is very formal. Clearly IM has rules and regulations that are expected of his employees. These formalities have allowed the organization to be successful and to grow. Mr. Tycoon practices the art of Gemba Walking, because as stated in the case details he is very involved in the day to day operations of the company. Now, with the responsibilities of Safe Buy Insurance and MicroAge Software, he must now look at those organizations and figure out a way to manage them under his style of leadership. We first review the Safe Buy Insurance Company. (Brasfield, 2013 p. 347) Safe Buy Insurance is the actual name of the company, however according to the details of the case none of the agencies up under Safe Buy carry the Safe Buy brand. It was mentioned that many of the agencies are not making the profit that they made in the previous years. It was mentioned that there are issues with the processing of paperwork. IM’s first point of business is to establish a mission statement, vision, and goal for this company. Right now, it is stated that this business is market controlled. There needs to be a standard through the agencies under Safe Buy. The company needs to know what they stand for, where they are at, and where they are going. Providing a standard, with...

Quote

..."we remember when we r in need" im not quite sure buT most of us remember our friends when we need them. The same is true with our relationship to God when do we remember God? The question is not hard to answer right? Remembering God maybe in terms of pRayer, a silent pause of meditation of His word, pRaise and worShip and thanks giving. BuT among these, pRayer maybe the most common term. How do u remember Him?It lies to your own experience. BuT as an observer, these are the instances: when we are haPpy. Example are those i've seen in t.v who won on gameshows yeLLing 'thank you Lord!' buT this statement is sometimes made as an exPresSion,not coming from heart. They only recognize God for the moment. It's not no Good. Just go deeper to what i mean. Parang ganito lng, kasing simple pag nagugulat tayo o napapamura, worSt instance is,unecesSary words sometimes are exclaimed. And this is what i mean 'just an xpRession' When we are sad and in neeD: we become totaLly dependent to ourseLf. We go througH as long as we can. BuT circumstances come. When we are sad, ofcourSe God can give back smiLes buT after God does that parT, we forget that and live again. Another story is the curRent cAlamities. Flood, storm signals, threatening earthquake,etc,, Prayer brigades are spReading. Non religious pRayers becomes religious pRayers. NonbelieverS tUrn tobeliever.
