...a spectacular changed. For years in my life, I would never forget the first time I had my first flight. My family and I immigrated to a new country that I never thought of. Because of that flight, my life had changed from one culture to a different culture in just 24 hours on the airplane It was winter in 2006 when my family and I decided to move out of the country. One week before the departure date, my mum told me that her, my brother, and I needed to immigrate to the United State of America for better lives. I was a teenager at the age of 14 years old at that time. I didn’t really know how my life would be in the U.S, but I was surprised to have a chance to travel outside the country for the first time. The time was liked a flash, I couldn’t had a enough time to say farewell to my friends and my special person, who is my great grandmother. The boarding time for my first flight had come, and I was so exited to watch my motherland from above. That was to have a better life for my family, but my tears just dropped for no reasons, may be I was scared or missed my old house. Well, no more tears to wasted; I boarded the plane with my family and took off. On August 2006 at nighttime, my plane had landed at International Airport of Houston. From the moment I stepped out of the plane, a whole new destiny of mine were waiting ahead of me, and I knew my life would completely changed.

...Museum of Health Care, I would like to propose some tributes that helped shape the health care industry. First, I would like to start with penicillin; on how it has changed the way we use and viewed medicine. Second, I would like to use military combat and its part into healthcare. Third, nurses; their work ethic alone has shaped the hospital environment. Fourth, medical imaging, that technology alone has moved health care to what is now modern day. Lastly, insurance and how it has changed over the past century. Penicillin, known to be founded by Alexander Fleming around 1929. His findings where that of a significant proportion. Penicillin became a firm foundation for medicine after WWI, being that it was able to heal just about every bacterial disease that we have encountered thus far. Not only has penicillin became the leading foundation for further antibiotics but it also led to more research into the world of medicine. Penicillin itself has saved roughly 200 million people in its course of finding. That my friends, you can say a reason it is a huge tribute to modern day health care. It also had an impact on the military portion of health care and how it helped shaped the way combat doctors and surgeons were able to perform the procedures necessary to save the lives of those who gave theirs. Now, probably thinking, "how did military combat change health care?" I would say this, it was not so much military conflict changed healthcare, but health care changed battle. Most of us...

...OCD who want to learn about the struggle it brings. Through a use of language that is vivid and at some points pretty extreme, Ellis reveals many aspects and problems that arise with living with OCD. Throughout the piece, Ellis describes the pain of her disorder through the use of extreme diction explaining what would happen to her if she did something she deemed wrong later. For example, after posting a rant about how she hated liturgical dancing, she came to the conclusion that the KKK was coming after her. “I decided with a terrifying and completely unwarranted urgency less than a week after I’d typed it, it was not the brightest thing I’ve ever done … The Klan! They Hate Catholics, they kill Catholics, and where better to find Catholics than a public forum? They hated Catholics and they were going to kick my ass” (299). The language Ellis uses helps readers understand the true terror she feels after something as small as a rant on the internet. Through extreme situations created by Ellis to describe what it’s like to have OCD, she gives the audience a better explanation on what it really is like. Ellis’ use...

...Throughout time, things and people tend to transform and develop into something more outstanding. The world of technology has increasingly changed for the better. The world previously had no such knowledge of what a computer even was and now everything is all about technology. Over time the world has become resourceful and gained plenty more knowledge.

Some might not be accepted if they don’t look like those models or to be...

... Life Because of the Army I was just a rude, undisciplined, and disrespectful kid at seventeen. At least until, I joined the Army. I didn’t know who I was, or who I would become. The U.S. Army changed all of that. The Army has improved my life by helping me gain the confidence to be a better man, by providing programs to advance my education, and by having programs that helped me to mature. In the Army, I have gained the confidence to become a better man. I learned what discipline was while being exposed to the military life in basic training. My fellow soldiers and I learned the Army core values, such as loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage. The training that I received, and the core values that were instilled in me, aided me in guiding my fellow soldiers and myself through a rough time overseas in Iraq. These skills and values have also aided me in my civilian life. My experiences in the army taught me a lot about core values and the discipline to be a better man. Not only has the Army given me the tools to be a better man, but they have also provided the tools and programs to advance my education. My career in the Army has awarded me the chance to pursue a career in the technical field. The Army and the Department of Veterans Affairs provide for me a no cost tuition for higher education.

...they are not the same. In this paper I intend to discuss what makes the academic and devotional settings similar, what makes them different, and also why it is important to study both of them. When viewing the bible in these manners it gives you a better understanding of his word, his intentions, and his love for us. To start off you need to understand how the bible came about. It started out as human communication. It was verbal until it was finally written out and when it was written out it was still meant to be “heard”. The Bible gives us instructions and laws that we are to follow. This is something that the academic Study really helps you understand. Certain things happen in a Chronological order just like history that you learn in an academic study at school. When you are able to observe the time period and why it happened you can conclude more due to the information you have by studying everything about it. This is great information for you to use later when you have your own personal devotional study. You have a better understanding of the message God wants to give you when you know the historical aspect. Studying the Bible in an academic setting is very interesting and helpful. It gives you all around information. Studying the Bible in this manner gives you a better foundation. If you have a strong foundation then you can obtain more information later on in your devotional setting. Before I was in this particular class, I did not believe that the academic standpoint...

...I believe the Romans were violent people and could have been peaceful with everyone one but instead, they would murder, and pillage. The Romans were always known as powerful but you might not know there were not builders or architects they were soldiers and that the Greeks were the culture and the builders behind the great and beautiful Roman Rule. The Romans had a lot of everyone's religion they would take gods from other empires so that their people would fight for them, they even spread Greek culture everywhere it changed the world but at what cost so many lives lost to people trying to become stronger. The Romans had great tactics, but an even better religion and I feel it would help a lot more if they weren't so driven towards war....

...this year I thought I was prepared for the freshman classes that I had heard about. Walking into Newton North on the first day of school I thought that everyone would stay in their own friend groups, my best friend would stay my best friend, and nothing would change. I was wrong. Throughout this year I think I changed a lot and strayed from who I thought I was going to be. I was confident in the beginning of the year, but not just with myself but with my friend group and my classes. Though my confidence with my new friend group has stayed the same I've began to question myself and who I was and am. I compare myself to others and I tried to be like everyone else. I also realized how hard I had to push myself to keep the...

...My childhood wasn’t the best; I grew up in Magna, Utah with six other siblings in a four bedroom home. We didn’t know what love was. My stepmother was too busy with reading her books and playing computer games while my father was always busy working or doing whatever he did essentially never being there for us. My mother passed away when I was very young of cancer. Up until maybe six or seven years old, we were actively going to church each week and happily enjoying each other as a family. I remember being as a kid very friendly and very respecting of my parents. As I grew older that changed, I realized how immoral parents they were. We were treated like it was in the latter day’s society. While they ate steak, sea food or Chinese, we ate mac and cheese. I felt like a red headed step child. As a teenager I leaned a very good skill that still is with me today. Around 14 years old I was bored getting into trouble and into marijuana with my friends. I learned of this job through a friend doing landscaping and mowing lawns. I learned great work ethics working this job for several years all the way through high school. Aalst there was a down fall in having a job through my parents eyes, I had to fend for myself in the means of buying my own food and school cloths. The second part of that was that I had money and didn’t know what to do with it. My parents were to busy to teach me about finance and money. I figured that if I have money, go spend it. I never learned about savings...
